# FeatStd Util
Variant explicit constructor
The [Variant](http://dev.doc.cgistudio.at/APILINK/class_feat_std_1_1_variant.html) constructor have been changed from conversion constructor to explicit constructor. Assignment similar to the following will no longer compile:
```
FeatStd::Variant variant = 1;
```
Furthermore, the direct usage of values (e.g. Int values) as paremeters will no longer compile:
```
FeatStd::Optional optionalVariant = FeatStd::Optional(1)
```
Since the constructor is no longer inserted automatically by the compiler it has to be inserted manually to make
```
FeatStd::Variant variant = FeatStd::Variant(1);
FeatStd::Optional optionalVariant = FeatStd::Optional(FeatStd::Variant(1));
```
the code compile again:
#### Variant explicit constructor
The list of supported types that a [FeatStd::Variant](http://dev.doc.cgistudio.at/APILINK/class_feat_std_1_1_variant.html) can handle has been extended. Beside the converting getter methods also TryGet methods are provided that will indicate if the, conversion was limited by the value range of the result type (e.g. a value 256 converted to a UInt8 will result in the value 255 due to the range limit of UInt8).
