Release Notes - 3.1.5

Fixes

Release Notes - 3.1.4

Additions

• Added generic helper functions for LSA query and set functions.
• Added CorrespondingTypeAttrribute.CanGet method to pull when enum is not found

Fixes

• Removed IMarshalDirective and created IVanaraMarshaler with supporting attribute and helper class. Converted structures that supported IMarshalDirective to IVanaraMarshaler
• Reworked memory manipulation functions in InteropExtensions and IntPtrConverter to use new marshaling directives and to drive consistency of use across libs (i.e. call same method to do same work).
• Fixed bug in MatchesLookupPattern (#71)

Release Notes - 3.1.3

Additions

• Added TokenMandatoryPolicy enum for use by TOKEN_MANDATORY_POLICY
• Added almost all functions from wintrust.dll
• Added all functions and interfaces from OleAut32.dll except the specific VARIANT conversions

Fixes

• Fix to prevent exceptions when both extended and basic limits are set on a job. (#70)
• XML Comment corrections (bad params, bad refs, bad syntax).
• BREAKING CHANGE: moved interfaces and VARIANT from oaidl.h into Vanara.PInvoke.OleAut32 from Ole32 as they are actually hosted there. This required some changes to supporting code.

Release Notes - 3.1.2

Additions

• Added SafeAnysizeStruct to help marshal structures with a 1-element field at the end that can be variable size. Adjusted all structs of this type to use this to marshal along with tests and supported classes.
• BREAKING CHANGE: The above forced the removal of PTOKEN_PRIVILEGES as that functionality is now in a shared marshaling class.
• Added IMarshalDirective interface as a means for IntPtrConverter.Convert to handle odd marshal behavior
• Added copy constructor to SafeMemoryHandle and consolidated initialization
• Added SafeAllocatedMemoryHandle.TakeOwnership method to take control of the allocated memory.
• Added all codes, enums and many (#67) structures from winioctl.h

Release Notes - 3.0.0

Too many changes to document them all, but here are the highlights:

• Rework of memory reading and writing extension methods and core classes to provide more safety and bounds checking.
• Addition of wer.dll support with Vanara.PInvoke.Wer assembly.
• Removal of the Vanara.PInvoke.User32.Gdi assembly after combining all its functions into Vanara.PInvoke.User32.
• Added support for .NET Standard 2.0, .NET Core 2.0 and 2.1 builds to all but Vanara.Windows.Shell and Vanara.Windows.Forms.
• Complete, that is every single function, unit testing for kernel32.dll, advapi32.dll, authz.dll, schannel.dll, and secur32.dll P/Invoke methods in their respective assemblies. If you need help on using those functions, check the unit tests as I ended up doing a lot of research to get some of them to work.
• Moved some extension methods to sub namespaces to avoid Intellisense showing you many functions for every object.
• Added DebuggerDisplay attributes to many of the support objects for easier debugging.
• Added many extension methods, struct constructors, safe handle classes, and documentation to make coding with P/Invoke more pleasant and less error prone.

• Fixed SetupOverlappedFunction so it doesn't fail binding the handle if already bound
