Release 1.5.0

• Fixed bugs:

  • Git Issue #644: flatten/unflatten does not preserve arrays with more than 10 elements

  • Git Issue #652: Fixed issue with JSON Schema AdditionalProperties validator

  • Git Issue #653: Fixed issue with non existing default values being added in JSON Schema patch

  • Git Issue #659: Fixed jsonschema validation message

  • Git Issue #664: Fixed issue with detection of CBOR typed arrays that manifested itself on i386

  • Fixed issue with JSON encode option array_array_split_lines value line_split_kind::new_line
    not creating a new line

  • Fixed issue of JSON encode line split options applied to inner JSON structures
    conflicting with line split options applied to outer JSON structures, e.g. when
    root line splits are same_line and array within array line splits are multi_line.
    With the new behaviour the inner structure will remain same_line if the outer
    structure is same_line.

• Changes

  • jsonpointer::unflatten now throws an exception if passed an empty object

  • The err_handler property of basic_json_options has been deprecated and will
    be removed in a future release. Use the allow_trailing_comma and allow_comments
    options instead.

  • Constructor overloads for basic_json_parser, basic_json_reader, basic_json_cursor,
    basic_csv_parser, basic_csv_reader and basic_csv_cursor that take an err_handler
    argument have been deprecated and will be removed in a future release. Use the
    allow_trailing_comma and allow_comments options instead.

  • The functors strict_json_parsing and allow_trailing_commas have been deprecated and
    will be removed in a future release. Use the allow_trailing_comma and allow_comments
    options instead.

  • The json_parser option lossless_bignum, when false, now applies to integer values
    as well as floating point values.

  • basic_json::is_bignum function has been changed to return true if the value
    is any string value tagged as bigint, bigdec, float128, or bigfloat
    (previously only bigint.)

  • basic_json has a function type() that returns a json_type enumeration,
    and the names of its enumerators have been changed. null_value, bool_value,
    int64_value, uint64_value, half_value, double_value, string_value,
    byte_string_value, array_value and object_value have been changed to
    null, boolean, int64, uint64, float16, float64, string,
    byte_string, array and object respectively. It's unlikely that we have
    many users of json_type, it isn't used in any of our examples, but for
    backwards compatibility the old names, now deprecated, have been typedef-ed to
    the new names.

  • The json_options member name line_splits has been renamed to root_line_spits.
    For backwards compatibility, the old name, now deprecated, behaves the same as the
    new name.
