Introduction

Hi! Today we present a next release of cimgui-go with many new features and bugfixes.

Breaking Changes

We're so sorry for that, but again we had to do some (fortunately small) breaking changes.

• Plot* and ImNodes* prefixes were removed from auto-generated functions.
  • for fast migration check out https://github.com/AllenDang/cimgui-go/issues/364#issuecomment-2458260345 (you can use a one-line sed instruction to update your project)

Release Highlights

• A new imgui plugin was added: ImGuiColorTextEdit
  • Special thanks goes to @sonoro1234 for help with C code generation
• Callback types were added to codegen :tada:
  • A long-existing issue https://github.com/AllenDang/cimgui-go/issues/224 was fixed
  • For known limitations and brief description, see https://github.com/AllenDang/cimgui-go?tab=readme-ov-file#callbacks
  • For implementation details check out https://github.com/AllenDang/cimgui-go/issues/224#issuecomment-2452156237
  • This also makes github.com/AllenDang/cimgui-go/immarkdown usable
• Many functions have been added (these using Callback typedefs; enum pointer arguments were added too)
• github.com/AllenDang/cimgui-go/cmd/codegen now uses a json file for imgui-specific generator configuration.
  • Our goal is to make the codegen a useful tool not only for cimgui-go but make it able to generate any Go binding based on cimgui-like JSON configs.
  • Things like renames or skipped typedefs/structs/funcs are not hardcoded anymore.
• Some types were given a NewEmptyXXX creator initializing them with their 0 values (like they would be by using new(XXX))
