About:
bdec allows you to write specifications for existing binary formats in a flexible XML based syntax, and have C decoders automatically generated for you. It supports decoding to XML or Python objects, as well as generating quality C decoders.

Release focus: Major bugfixes

Changes:
The C decoder memory is now freed. Decoders are validated with valgrind. A new "release" script was added to simplify making new releases. Sequence values are handled in the C decoder. Sequence values are printed in the C decoder output. XML output no longer includes whitespace around decoded values. Entry names are now allowed to use the "-" character. Speed was improved when choosing between embedded choices. Bit buffers now allocate their own memory (instead of reusing the input).
