2.0.0

<< breaking changes >>

1.4.1

• Fix TARGET_OS_IPHONE checking (#436, #438)
• Fix invalid front() call for empty container (#435. #437)
• Fix compile error on g++6 (C++11 only) (#426, #428)

1.4.0

<< recommended changes >>

• Define MSGPACK_DISABLE_LEGACY_NIL, then msgpack::type::nil is replaced by with msgpack::type::nil_t (#408, #411, #412).
  Replace msgpack::type::nil with msgpack::type::nil_t in client codes.
  msgpack::type::nil will be removed on the version 2.0.0.

• Define MSGPACK_DISABLE_LEGACY_CONVERT, then msgpack::object::convert(T*) is removed (#410).
  Replace calling msgpack::bojectconvert(T*) with msgpack::bojectconvert(T&) in client codes as follows:

   int i;
   obj.convert(&i); // before

   int i;
   obj.convert(i);  // after

  msgpack::object::convert(T*) will be removed on the version 2.0.0.

Define the macros above as follows when you compile C++ codes that use msgpack-c:

g++ -Ipath_to_msgpack/include -DMSGPACK_DISABLE_LEGACY_NIL -DMSGPACK_DISABLE_LEGACY_CONVERT your_code.cpp

You can compile existing codes without defining macros above but I recommend defining them and updating your codes to fix the issues #408, #411, #412, #399, and #410. It is also a good preparation for the version 2.0.0.

1.1.0

breaking changes

• Remove msgpack_fwd.hpp (#262)
• Improve user types adaptation mechanism (#262)
  • Since version 1.0.0, users need to obey the correct include order. However, it is very difficult to maintain the correct order in big projects. version 1.1.0 removed this order. Users don't need to care about include order. Migration guide from 1.0.x to 1.1.0 has been written. See https://github.com/msgpack/msgpack-c/wiki

other updates

• Fix vector size check (#251)
• Fix inttypes.h inclusion on MSVC (#257)
• Support documents generation by Doxygen (#259)
• Remove C99 style variable declaration (#253)
• Improve documents (https://github.com/msgpack/msgpack-c/wiki)

1.0.0

This is the first major version up of msgpack-c. It isn't compatible with the previous version 0.5.9. Please look at wiki to learn how to migrate your project to the new version.

0.5.9

This version includes following changes.

• Support std::tr1 unordered containers by default (#51, #63, #68, #69)
• Remove some warnings (#56)
• Fix segmentation fault after malloc failures (#58, #59)
• Fix alloc/dealloc mismatch (#52, #61)
• Fix sample codes (#60, #64)
• Support implicit conversion from integer to float/double (#54)
• Improve documents (#45, #75, #82, #83)
