v0.10.0

0.10.0 (2022-12-29)

• Make the buffer_size optional in cbor_serialize_alloc [#205] (by hughsie)
• BREAKING: Improved half-float encoding for denormalized numbers. [#208] (by ranvis)
  • Denormalized half-floats will now preserve data in the mantissa
  • Note: Half-float NaNs still lose data (#215)
• BUILD BREAKING: Minimum CMake version is 3.0 [#201] (by thewtex@)
  • See https://repology.org/project/cmake/versions for support; the vast majority of users should not be affected.
• Fix a potential memory leak when the allocator fails during array or map decoding [#224] (by James-ZHANG)
• Fix a memory leak when the allocator fails when adding chunks to indefinite bytestrings. (discovered by James-ZHANG)
• Fix a memory leak when the allocator fails when adding chunks to indefinite strings
• Potentially BUILD BREAKING: Add nodiscard attributes to most functions
  • Warning: This may cause new build warnings and (in rare cases, depending on your configuration) errors
• BREAKING: Fix cbor_copy leaking memory and creating invalid items when the allocator fails.
  • Previously, the failures were not handled in the interface. Now, cbor_copy may return NULL upon failure; clients should check the return value
• Fix cbor_build_tag illegal memory behavior when the allocator fails
• Add a new cbor_serialized_size API
• Reworked cbor_serialize_alloc to allocate the exact amount of memory necessary upfront
  • This should significantly speed up cbor_serialize_alloc for large items by avoiding multiple reallocation iterations
  • Clients should not use the return value of cbor_serialize_alloc. It may be removed in the future.
• BUILD BREAKING: Deprecate CBOR_CUSTOM_ALLOC
  • cbor_set_allocs will always be enabled from now on
  • Note: The flag will be kept as a no-op triggering a warning when used for one version and then removed completely
