TinyCBOR release 7.0

Release 7.0 is a feature release of TinyCBOR.

Starting in this release, we change the numbering scheme and drop the leading "0.", declaring that this is not beta code (hasn't been for ages).

This release removes the old, hand-written Makefiles for the library and qmake for the examples and tests. TinyCBOR now adopts CMake as the sole build system. Thanks go to @sdebionne in #242.

Building the unit tests now requires Qt 6. Support for testing using Qt 5 has been dropped.

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
