- The Language Server is now compatible with Visual Studio. (df2fd67e7ebfd9c187a90dd429a7f251d6b725ac)

Language Server

Added
* PyDjinni now ships with a language server that can be used by IDE plugins for improving the code editing experience. (90cc409ba29eaacc2024e6350af2d13be8090614)
* Python 3.12 is now supported. (079561b30a750af9522eb1935c3f611861d7ce6b)
* The Python wheel does now ship the [`PyDjinni`](https://github.com/pydjinni/pydjinni/blob/main/src/pydjinni/cmake/modules/PyDjinni.cmake) CMake module as a resource. This allows the new [`FindPyDjinni`](https://github.com/pydjinni/pydjinni/blob/main/cmake/modules/FindPyDjinni.cmake) CMake module to load the module from the current Python environment.

C++/CLI Support, Comment Conversion, Record Deriving, and Enum String Serialization 💪

Added

* C++/CLI support was added (adapted from [cross-language-cpp/djinni-generator](https://github.com/cross-language-cpp/djinni-generator) , [iit-reacts/djinni](https://github.com/iit-reacts/djinni)). (508f749cd5654f9f5c99552c8f093e1dbd69c512)
* Comment conversion was vastly improved! It can now convert Markdown comments from the IDL to Javadoc, Doxygen, DocC and XML doc comments. It supports simple text styling, lists, code blocks, and more. The commands `returns`, `param` and `deprecated` can also be used. Adding `deprecated` to a comment marks the generated interfaces as deprecated (inspired by https://github.com/cross-language-cpp/djinni-generator/pull/156). (9c201ff71864552fdab3893bc7c5a0c18bd2ca37)
* Record deriving is finally implemented, supporting `str`, `eq` and `ord`. (2c6bf441c23e98c362c0f59fa54245b0ec7643c7)
* mutagene added `enum` and `flags` string serialization support in C++ (adapted from [Snapchat/djinni](https://github.com/Snapchat/djinni)). (8b3a4ef40ad885d4368821273c5dad4473db7c5d)

Changed

* The IDL parser was migrated from [Arpeggio](https://textx.github.io/Arpeggio/2.0/) to [ANTLR4](https://www.antlr.org/). This was required for the Language Server (Coming Soon™), because ANTLR4 supports syntax error recovery. (bacf0879e817c64f0b414b93deb72515e435b519)
* **Breaking Change:** The Android AAR packaging process was changed. The generated Java sources are now directly copied to the AAR Gradle project, without a need to package them into a JAR before. (9c201ff71864552fdab3893bc7c5a0c18bd2ca37)

Initial Preview 🐣

This is the first early preview of the new **PyDjinni** C++ cross-platform library development toolkit.
It is unfinished and should only be used with caution! Some features may be incomplete or even broken!

PyDjinni was heavily inspired by [Djinni](https://djinni.xlcpp.dev).
