Full Changelog: v8.0.0-rc.14...v8.0.0-rc.15

Core API

• Signal‑slot: AObject::connect now requires a ConnectionSource. Replace all old overloads.
• Style macros: AUI_WITH_STYLE → AUI_OVERRIDE_STYLE. use declarative::… helpers.
• Reactive: Expression and makeExpression added; ConnectionSourceTraits specialized for Expression.

Property System

• Projection helpers (makeReadonlyProjection, makeBidirectionalProjection, etc.) and ProjectionBidirectional concept removed.
• assignment() now returns an ASlotDef.

String / UTF‑8 Utilities

• AUtf8 implementation moved to header.
• decode_type returns AOptional<std::size_t>.

APath / APathView

• Simplified APath API; many methods moved to APathView.
• Update any parent(), file(), exists(), removeFile(), etc. to use APathView.

Logging

• ALogger now uses AStringView.
• New TRACE level added.

Cryptography

• OpenSSL replaced by MbedTLS.
• ARsa uses a Pimpl (ARsaPrivate).
• AX509 classes removed.

DBus Wrapper

• ADBus::inst() → ADBus::session().
• callBlocking removed; use call (fire‑and‑forget) or callWithResult (returns AFuture).
• addSignalListener now returns MessageFilter::Ownership.

OpenGL Context

• GLEW removed; GLAD + epoxy now used.
• Remove all glewExperimental, glewInit, and GLEW symbols.

Views

• Widgets refactored to the new declarative API (declarative::…).
• Constructors changed; some default constructors removed.
• Layout logic updated.
• Label no longer has padding by default.
• Most views no longer have margin by default. It is recommended to use ass::Padding and ass::LayoutSpacing in enclosing container instead of ass::Margin.
• Button is not derivative of Label anymore. Button is now a container which contains a Label or any other views.
• AView::setCustomStyle was optimized.

Declarative Helpers

• Old Declarative.h helpers removed.
• New concepts (LayoutItemView, LayoutItemViewGroup, etc.) and containers (Vertical, Horizontal, Stacked, etc.) introduced.

Miscellaneous

• AStringView enhancements.
• AColor and AByteBufferView hash changes.
• AChar functions now constexpr.
• AObject connection changes; overloads removed; now uses ConnectionSource.
• AOptional<T> now has reference specialization AOptional<T&>.
