KSeExpr 4.0.0 Released!

Today, we're happy to announce the release of KSeExpr 4.0.0!

KSeExpr is the fork of Disney Animation's SeExpr expression language library that we ship with Krita. It powers the SeExpr Fill Layer that was done in Amyspark's Google Summer of Code 2020 project.

The main changes

This is a ginormous release, but these are the most important bits:

• We've rebranded the fork. This allows us to both ship the library without conflict with upstream.
  • The library as a whole is now namespaced (both in CMake and in C++) as KSeExpr.
  • The base library is now KSeExpr, whereas the UI is now KSeExprUI. The include folders have been flattened accordingly, to e.g. <KSeExpr/Expression.h> and <KSeExprUI/ExprControlCollection.h>.
• We've changed the license to GPL v3. The original code was (and is still released) under a tainted form of Apache 2.0, which has brought us many headaches. We've followed LibreOffice's lead and our changes are now released under this license.
• All code has been reformatted and upgraded with C++14 features.
• We've dropped the Python bindings, as well as pthread. If you just need the library (like us), all you need now is Qt and a C++14 compiler.
• The existing optional LLVM evaluator has reached feature parity with the interpreter. We've patched missing functionality, such as automatic casting from 1D vectors to 3D and string operators.
• Our fork fully supports static LLVM and Android. No more linking or API level issues.
• Arc trigonometric functions and rand(), previously documented but non-existing in the runtime, have been added.
