Version 1.7
This release fixes various build issues, portability problems, and minor bugs.
- Redesigned the directory-include feature to avoid using platform-specific directory scanning code, and to fix a bug in the handling of nested includes. The application can now do its own directory scanning and/or wildcard expansion by registering an include function.
- Added new CONFIG_OPTION_ALLOW_SCIENTIFIC_NOTATION to allow either %f or %g-style formatting for floating point values.
- Improved the options APIs in both the C and C++ libraries.
- Improved the automatic conversion between int and int64 values.
- Fixed build errors caused by out-of-sync generated lexer and parser source files.
- Various internal code cleanup.
- Fixed failing unit tests.
- Fixed a problem where a group or list could be added to an array.
- Changed default float precision from 2 to 6.
- Added an API to clear an existing configuration.
- Upgraded VS2015 solution/project files to VS2017.
- Modified grammar to allow trailing commas in lists and arrays.
- Removed logic that clipped negative values to 0 in (unsigned int) cast operator.
- Updated manual and added a new chapter on other libconfig implementations and bindings.
