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

TinyCBOR release 0.5.2

This is a bugfix release. Important bugs fixed in this release:
- Fixed the detection of the byte order with the INTEGRITY compiler
- Fixed building with CBOR_NO_FLOATING_POINT and CBOR_NO_HALF_FLOAT_TYPE
- Changed the type for all flags variables from int to uin32_t
  (for platforms where int isn't 32-bit)
- Fixed some C89/C90 issues in the code: notably, TinyCBOR headers now
  do compile with such a compiler (provided <stdint.h> is present)
- Fixed the freestanding (no FILE*) build
- Made sure the shared library build of TinyCBOR links to the math library
- #136 Fixed the installation of tinycbor-version.h header

The maintainer would like to thank Koen Zandberg for contributions in this
release.

This is a bugfix release. Important bugs fixed in this release:
- Fixed a memory leak in the functions converting to JSON if fprintf failed
- Fixed a crash in json2cbor if realloc() failed
- Fixed a compile error on 32-bit (x86) Windows
- Fixed the build with very old GCC (4.4)

TinyCBOR release 0.5.0

TinyCBOR 0.5 contains numerous fixes and new API compared to 0.4. The
main feature in this release is the CBOR Validation API, which can be
used to perform a deeper validation of the contents than the simple
syntax correctness that the main parser API provides. In particular, the
API can be used to confirm that a given CBOR data type was encoded using
either the Canonical Format (RFC 7049 section 3.9) and the Strict Mode
(section 3.10). The API can also be used to confirm CBOR Text Strings
carry properly-encoded UTF-8 text, a verification that the main parser
does not perform.

Starting in this release, the TINYCBOR_VERSION macro will be defined to
the current version number.

This release also has the possibility of building TinyCBOR as a shared
library on Unix systems. It is automatically enabled on systems detected
to use the ELF executable format. To disable it, pass BUILD_SHARED=0 to
make; to enable it on other systems, pass BUILD_SHARED=1. To disable the
static library, pass BUILD_STATIC=0 to make. Note that TinyCBOR does not
guarantee binary compatibility across releases.

Other relevant changes include:

 - The list of known tags includes the tags used for CBOR Object Signing
   and Encryption (COSE - RFC 8152).
 - The functions taking FILE* are now conditional on a hosted C
   environment. They are not declared for freestanding C environments.

Note: the zero-copy string functions announced with the 0.5-beta1
release have been removed for further development. A new zery-copy
string access API will be provided in the 0.6 release.

TinyCBOR release 0.5 (beta1)

This is a beta release of TinyCBOR 0.5. Beta releases may have bugs and
the API is still subject to change.

TinyCBOR 0.5 contains numerous fixes and new API compared to 0.4. The
main feature in this release is the CBOR Validation API, which can be
used to perform a deeper validation of the contents than the simple
syntax correctness that the main parser API provides. In particular, the

the current version number.

Other relevant changes include:

 - The list of known tags includes the tags used for CBOR Object Signing
   and Encryption (COSE - RFC 8152).
 - A new pair of functions cbor_value_get_{text,byte}_string_chunk can
   be used to obtain a direct pointer to the string data, without any
   memory allocation or memcpy (zero copy).
 - the functions taking FILE* are now conditional on a hosted C
   environment. They are not declared for freestanding C environments.
