v1.1.2

Maintenance release with improved portability (esp. Windows, MacOS, and BSD). It also enables ports to vcpkg and Homebrew (coming very soon...).

Fixed

• #23: Removed unneeded includes of UNIX-specific unistd.h (blocking portability).

Added

• #23: Portability to Windows, MacOS, and BSD.

• #23: CMake build configuration, alongside the GNU make config.

• #23: New GitHub Actions workflows for multi-platform checks.

Changed

• #23: Use portable mutexes in xlookup.c.

• #23: xjson error/warning reporting via static functions instead of niche macros that Windows does not support.

• #23: xGetAsLongAtIndex() and xGetAsDoubleAtIndex() switch to setting errno to EINVAL instead of ENOSR, as the latter is not defined on BSD.

v1.1.1

Maintenance release with minor code style improvements.

Changed

• #18: A few code style improvements, spotted by cppcheck.

v1.1.0

Minor feature release with bug fixes.

Fixed

• #15: xPrintFloat() printed an extra digit, which would appear as a 'rounding error' in decimal representations.

• #16: Width detection of platform-specific built-in integer types (i.e., short, int, long, and long long).
  The previous implementation included stdint.h with __STDC_LIMIT_MACROS defined. However, if the application
  source, then included stdint.h before xchange.h, then the fixed-width integer limits were left undefined. As
  a result, we no longer rely on stdint.h providing these limits.

Added

• xParseFloat() to parse floats without rounding errors that might result if parsing as double and then casting
  as float.

v1.0.1

Fixed

• Handling of serialized strings in xClearField() and xCopyOfField().

• Handling of heterogeneous arrays (type X_FIELD) in xCopyOfField().

Added

• xDestroyLookupAndData() to destroy a lookup table including all the data that was referenced inside it.

Changed

• xCreateField() to treat X_RAW types always as scalars, ignoring the dimensions provided.

v1.0.0

Initial release.
