# Release

Release folder of all projects.



**Read the [LICENSE](https://github.com/vczh-libraries/Release/blob/master/LICENSE.md) first.**



**Read [GacUI website](http://vczh-libraries.github.io/) or [the mirror website](http://gaclib.net) for more information.**



Executables in `Tools` are no longer committed to this repo. **Read [Tools/README.md](Tools/README.md) for building tools.**



Download code from [public releases](https://github.com/vczh-libraries/Release/releases) to get the latest stable release. Code from this repo is also usable but I don't make any promise. I will only make a new release when I think the code is ready to update.



## Synchronized latest releases:



- **GacUI**: [1.2.10.1](https://github.com/vczh-libraries/Release/releases/tag/1.2.10.1)

- **iGac**: Not specified yet

- **gGac**: [1.2.10.0](https://github.com/vczh-libraries/gGac/releases/tag/1.2.10.0)



When **iGac** and **gGac** targets on a certain **GacUI** version, **iGac** and **gGac** will use the same version number as a tag to the commits.

  - A **GacUI** release will always be `X.Y.Z.0`, the last digit increases when only small bug fixing is introduced.

  - If **iGac** and **gGac** have multiple releases based on the same **GacUI** release, only the last digit will change.



## Visual Studio Extension



Copy [Vlpp.natvis](https://github.com/vczh-libraries/Release/blob/master/Import/vlpp.natvis) to Visual Studio's visualizers folder.



For example, VS2022's default visualizers folder will be **C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\Common7\Packages\Debugger\Visualizers**.
