TinyCBOR release 0.6.1

Release 0.6.1 is a bugfix release, accumulated over several years.

What's Changed

• Fixed a bug that performed arithmetic on null pointers, which is Undefined Behaviour (by @hamchapman in #217)
• Updated the ntohll macro to use cbor_ntohl instead of ntohl directly (by @mkm85 in #218)
• Removed _POSIX_C_SOURCE defines where _GNU_SOURCE was also defined, as _GNU_SOURCE implicitly defines _POSIX_C_SOURCE (by @kkysen in #221)
• Made it easier to replace the standard library memory management functions (by @huffman-coder in #224)
• Added support for ICCARM (by @inf265 in #226)
• Fixed a bug that would cause an assertion failure if recursion limit was hit during the creation of the CBOR pretty output (in #230)
• Added support for _Float16 for half-precision conversions if available (by @kalcutter in #231)
• Added possibility to include external config file (by @piotreklc60 in #234)
• Removed use of Q_FOREACH (by @marcmutz in #238)
• Disable cJSON support when building without math support (by @thiagomacieira in #253)
• Corrected syntax error in examples/simplereader.c (by @LinRaymond2006 in #264)
• Fixed a Coverity Scan warning about CborEncoder::data not being initialized (by @marcmutz in https://github.com/intel/tinycbor/pull/2750
• Added a recursion limit for nested containers in the CBOR-to-JSON conversion code (by @thiagomacieira in #273)
• Fixed a problem escaping strings in the CBOR-to-JSON conversion code (by @thiagomacieira in #274)

Full Changelog: v0.6.0...v0.6.1

TinyCBOR release 0.6

TinyCBOR 0.6 contains many changes developed over the past four years,
which have been included in Qt releases.

Notable new API:

• Support for encoding and decoding half-precision floating points (cbor_encode_float_as_half_float and cbor_value_get_half_float_as_float) which convert to and from a single-precision float to the correct 16-bit representation.
• Ability to restart parsing (cbor_value_reparse)

And some experimental API:

• Parsing and encoding using delegated functions, not just a buffer (cbor_encoder_init_writer and cbor_parser_init_reader)
• Parser support for iterating over string chunks
