|  | RELEASE NOTES - Version 2.4.1.473 | 
|  | =============================================================================== | 
|  |  | 
|  | Features: | 
|  | - Added option service_generator_type to control service generation with | 
|  | NONE, GENERIC, INTERFACE, or IRPCDISPATCH | 
|  | - Added interfaces IRpcDispatch and IRpcServerStub to provide for blocking | 
|  | services and implementations. | 
|  | - Added ProtoGen.exe command-line argument "--protoc_dir=" to specify the | 
|  | location of protoc.exe. | 
|  | - Extracted interfaces for ICodedInputStream and ICodedOutputStream to allow | 
|  | custom implementation of writers with both speed and size optimizations. | 
|  | - Addition of the "Google.ProtoBuffers.Serialization" assembly to support | 
|  | reading and writing messages to/from XML, JSON, IDictionary<,> and others. | 
|  | - Several performance related fixes and tweeks | 
|  | - Issue 3:	Add option to mark generated code with attribute |

|  | - Issue 24:	Support for using Json/Xml formats with ICodedInputStream | 
|  | - Issue 25: Added support for NuGet packages | 
|  | - Issue 31: Upgraded protoc.exe and descriptor to 2.4.1 | 
|  |  | 
|  | Fixes: | 
|  | - Issue 13:	Message with Field same name as message causes uncompilable .cs | 
|  | - Issue 16:	Does not integrate well with other tooling |

|  | - Issue 35: Fixed a bug in ProtoGen handling of arguments with trailing \ | 
|  | - Big-endian support for float, and double on Silverlight | 
|  | - Packed and Unpacked parsing allow for all repeated, as per version 2.3 |
