This file records the notable changes in each CFL release.
- Added public request-lifetime arena allocation, duplication helpers, allocator callbacks, and optional bounded geometric chunk growth.
The first stable CFL release establishes the variant, container, utility, and optional arena interfaces used by Fluent Bit and its companion telemetry libraries.
- Added optional arena allocation for strings, variants, arrays, and key/value lists, including reset, cache control, ownership validation, benchmarks, and lifecycle documentation.
- Added case-sensitive and case-insensitive key/value lookup variants.
- Strengthened container ownership and cycle validation for mutable variant graphs.
- Improved allocation failure handling and made dynamic-string formatting preserve the original value when growth fails.
- Improved portability across GNU C99 and GNU C17, ARM64, Windows, macOS, and supported Linux environments.
- Expanded sanitizer, Valgrind, installed-consumer, and downstream validation for Fluent Bit, cmetrics, ctraces, and cprofiles.
- Installed the bundled xxHash archive with its headers so installed consumers can use CFL's public hash interface.
