UTF8-aware functions for Windows to make cross-platform easier

Release v11.3.0

UTF8-aware functions for Windows to make cross-platform easier

Release v11.2.0

UTF8-aware functions for Windows to make cross-platform easier

Changes

• filebuf: Major performance improvement for Bulk I/O
• filebuf: Fix wrong return value of sync when fflush failed
• filebuf: Fix possible undefined behavior in a corner case when nothing was actually written but buffer is in "write" mode
• filebuf: Limit putback of characters (i.e. pbackfail) only allowing putback of buffered characters (may be only 1 character)
• Add missing define NOWIDE_USE_WCHAR_OVERLOADS (standalone only)

Release v11.1.4

UTF8-aware functions for Windows to make cross-platform easier

Release v11.1.3

UTF8-aware functions for Windows to make cross-platform easier

Changes

• Improve performance of utf8_codecvt
• Ensure initialization of std::cout/cerr/cin in nw::cout/cerr/cin
• Suppress or handle some warnings
• Fix missing config/check_lfs_support.cpp in release tarballs
• Fix possible double-free when setting a custom buffer (setbuf) after filebuf already allocated an internal buffer

Release v11.1.2

UTF8-aware functions for Windows to make cross-platform easier

Changes

• Don't define __MSVCRT_VERSION__ version to fix compatibility with ucrt

From 11.1.1 tag:

• Fix discarding of characters for text file streams when seek or sync functions are used and newlines were converted (e.g. on Windows)
• Fix potential use-after-free bug when reusing (via open) a file stream that has been closed
• Fix potential invalid memory access when using a file stream that has been moved or swapped to where the source had a put-back character or was set to unbuffered mode
• Known issues: Read performance for text files is degraded. Binary files and writing is unaffected.

Release v11.1.0

UTF8-aware functions for Windows to make cross-platform easier

Changes

• Add support for string_view to narrow and widen
• Add support for UTF character types such as char16_t

Release v11.0.0

UTF8-aware functions for Windows to make cross-platform easier

Changes

• Require C++11 compatible compiler and stdlib
• LFS: Add support for files > 2 GB where the underlying system supports it
• Generic UTF conversion functions are now available in the boost::nowide::utf namespace
• Add support for stat with UTF-8 paths

Release v10.0.2

UTF8-aware functions for Windows to make cross-platform easier

Changes:

• boost::nowide::cin now ignores CR (\r) characters and treats CTRL+Z at the beginning of a line as EOF (matching std::cin behavior)
• boost::nowide::cin supports sync by flushing the input and console buffer
