New feeds for Project hosting on Google Code

Monday, July 21, 2008

By Andy Chu, Google Code Team

We get a lot of feedback on Google Code and one of the biggest requests have been for feeds (as you can see in issue 8, issue 131, or issue 190). Therefore, I'm happy to announce that we now have Atom feed available for you to track issues, downloads, Subversion changes, and Wiki updates.

As an example, you can take a look at feeds for Google Web Toolkit:

Issues feed at http://code.google.com/feeds/p/google-web-toolkit/issueupdates/basic
Downloads feed at http://code.google.com/feeds/p/google-web-toolkit/downloads/basic
Subversion changes feed at http://code.google.com/feeds/p/google-web-toolkit/svnchanges/basic
Wiki changes feed at http://code.google.com/feeds/p/google-web-toolkit/svnchanges/basic?path=/wiki/

For the SVN changes feed you can add '?path=/path/' to the end of the url to filter the changes by path -- for example, '?path=/trunk/' or '?path=/wiki/'. Simply substitute 'google-web-toolkit' for your project to see your feeds.

As always, if you have any feedback please do not hesitate to let us know.

Code Search: Improved browsing and new search operators

Thursday, July 10, 2008

By Dmitry Barashev, Google Code Search Team

But what if the include list is too large and you can't guess where a class or method is defined? To help we added two new search operators, class: and function: which allow you to restrict your regular expression to the names of classes and functions only. Together with the package: operator and new radio button "Search in ..." that restricts search to the files from the specified package, these are powerful ways to find exactly what you are looking for. Compare the results of searching for "Shell" in the whole code base with the results of searching for class:Shell inside SWT.

We continue improving Code Search and look forward for your feedback at our discussion group.

Protocol Buffers, our serialized structured data, released as Open Source

Monday, July 7, 2008

By Dion Almaer, Google Developer ProgramsProtocol Buffersopen sourcing the systemProtocol buffers are a flexible, efficient, automated mechanism for serializing structured data – think XML, but smaller, faster, and simpler. You define how you want your data to be structured once, then you can use special generated source code to easily write and read your structured data to and from a variety of data streams and using a variety of languages. You can even update your data structure without breaking deployed programs that are compiled against the "old" formatmessage Person {
required string name = 1;
required int32 id = 2;
optional string email = 3;

enum PhoneType {
MOBILE = 0;
HOME = 1;
WORK = 2;
}

message PhoneNumber {
required string number = 1;
optional PhoneType type = 2 [default = HOME];
}

repeated PhoneNumber phone = 4;
