Release Notes: py2cpp v1.5

Overview

This release introduces several enhancements to the py2cpp library, a header-only C++ library designed to bring Python-like features to modern C++. Key improvements include expanded unit test coverage, code optimizations, and updates to build configurations.

🚀 New Features & Improvements

1. Enhanced Unit Test Coverage

Added comprehensive unit tests for Boost Graph adaptors (test_nx2bg1.cpp):
- GrAdaptor for graph operations
- VertexView and EdgeView for graph traversal
- AtlasView for neighbor iteration
Added tests for Python-like data structures:
- py::dict methods including contains, get, items, copy, and len
- py::enumerate and py::const_enumerate for iterable indexing
Extended tests for Fraction class in fractions.hpp:
- Arithmetic operations (+, -, *, /)
- Comparison operators (<, <=, >, >=, ==, !=)
- In-place operations (+=, -=, *=, /=)

2. Code Optimizations

Performed code optimizations via Gemini CLI
Applied fix-format to ensure consistent code style

3. Build System Updates

Upgraded C++ standard from C++14 to C++17
Added Boost support in XMake configuration:
- Included boost package dependency
- Added Boost-specific test files to the build
Improved compiler flag handling for Linux and Windows platforms

🛠️ Development Workflow Improvements

Updated CMakeLists.txt to use C++17 standard
Enhanced XMake configuration for better cross-platform compatibility
Added [[maybe_unused]] attribute to silence compiler warnings in range-based loops

✅ Testing

All new tests pass successfully using the doctest framework
CI pipeline now includes Boost-based tests via XMake

📦 Dependencies

Added explicit dependency on Boost library for graph-related features
Maintained compatibility with fmt and doctest

🔧 Known Issues

None reported in this release
