# 11.0.0 - TBD - Added `fmt/base.h` which provides a subset of the API with minimal include dependencies and enough functionality to replace all uses of the `printf` family of functions. This brings the compile time of code using {fmt} much closer to the equivalent `printf` code as shown on the following benchmark that compiles 100 source files: | Method | Compile Time (s) | |--------------|------------------| | printf | 1.6 | | IOStreams | 25.9 | | fmt 10.x | 19.0 | | fmt 11.0 | 4.8 | | tinyformat | 29.1 | | Boost Format | 55.0 | This gives almost 4x improvement in bulid speed compared to version 10. Note that this is purely formatting code and includes. In real projects the difference from `printf` will be smaller partly because common standard headers will be included in almost any translation unit (TU) anyway. In particular, in every case except `printf` above ~1s is spent in total on including `` in all TUs. - Optimized includes in other headers such as `fmt/format.h` which is now roughly equivalent to the old `fmt/core.h` in terms of build speed. - Migrated the documentation at https://fmt.dev/ from Sphinx to MkDocs. - Improved C++20 module support (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/3990, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3991, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/3993, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3994, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3997, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3998, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/4004, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/4005, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/4006, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/4013, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/4027, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/4029). In particular, native CMake support for modules is now used if available. Thanks @yujincheng08 and @matt77hias. - Added an option to replace standard includes with `import std` enabled via the `FMT_IMPORT_STD` macro (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/3921, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3928). Thanks @matt77hias. - Exported `fmt::range_format`, `fmt::range_format_kind` and `fmt::compiled_string` from the `fmt` module (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3970, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3999). Thanks @matt77hias and @yujincheng08. - Improved integration with stdio in `fmt::print`, enabling direct writes into a C stream buffer in common cases. This may give significant performance improvements ranging from tens of percent to [2x]( https://stackoverflow.com/a/78457454/471164) and eliminates dynamic memory allocations on the buffer level. It is currently enabled for built-in and string types with wider availability coming up in future releases. For example, it gives ~24% improvement on a [simple benchmark]( https://isocpp.org/files/papers/P3107R5.html#perf) compiled with Apple clang version 15.0.0 (clang-1500.1.0.2.5) and run on macOS 14.2.1: ``` ------------------------------------------------------- Benchmark Time CPU Iterations ------------------------------------------------------- printf 81.8 ns 81.5 ns 8496899 fmt::print (10.*) 63.8 ns 61.9 ns 11524151 fmt::print (11.0) 51.3 ns 51.0 ns 13846580 ``` - Improved safety of `fmt::format_to` when writting to an array (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3805). For example ([godbolt](https://www.godbolt.org/z/cYrn8dWY8)): ```c++ auto volkswagen = char[4]; auto result = fmt::format_to(volkswagen, "elephant"); ``` no longer results in a buffer oveflow. Instead the output will be truncated and you can get the end iterator and whether truncation occurred from the `result` object. Thanks @ThePhD. - Enabled Unicode support by default in MSVC, bringing it on par with other compilers and making it unnecessary for users to enable it explicitly. Most of {fmt} is encoding-agnostic but this prevents mojibake in places where encoding matters such as path formatting and terminal output. You can control the Unicode support via the CMake `FMT_UNICODE` option. Note that some {fmt} packages such as the one in vcpkg have already been compiled with Unicode enabled. - Added a formatter for `std::expected` (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3834. Thanks @dominicpoeschko. - Added a formatter for `std::complex` (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1467, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/3886, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3892, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3900). Thanks @phprus. - Added a formatter for `std::type_info` (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3978). Thanks @matt77hias. - Specialized `formatter` for `std::basic_string` types with custom traits and allocators (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/3938, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3943). Thanks @dieram3. - Added formatters for `std::chrono::day`, `std::chrono::month`, `std::chrono::year` and `std::chrono::year_month_day` (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/3758, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/3772, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3906, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3913). For example: ```c++ #include #include int main() { fmt::print(fg(fmt::color::green), "{}\n", std::chrono::day(7)); } ``` prints a green day: image Thanks @zivshek. - Fixed handling of precision in `%S` (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/3794, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3814). Thanks @js324. - Added support for the `-` specifier (glibc `strftime` extension) to day of the month (`%d`) and week of the year (`%W`, `%U`, `%V`) specifiers (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3976). Thanks @ZaheenJ. - Fixed the scope of the `-` extension in chrono formatting so that it doesn't apply to subsequent specifiers (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/3811, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3812). Thanks @phprus. - Improved handling of `time_point::min()` (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/3282). - Added support for character range formatting (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/3857, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3863).

Thanks @bbolli. - Made contiguous iterator optimizations apply to `std::basic_string` iterators (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3798). Thanks @phprus. - Added support for ranges with mutable `begin` and `end` (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/3752, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3800, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3955). Thanks @tcbrindle and @Arghnews. - Added support for move-only iterators to `fmt::join` (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/3802, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3946). Thanks @Arghnews. - Moved range and iterator overloads of `fmt::join` to `fmt/ranges.h`, next to other overloads. - Fixed hanling of types with `begin` returning `void` such as Eigen matrices (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/3839, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3964). Thanks @Arghnews. - Added an `fmt::formattable` concept (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3974). Thanks @matt77hias. - Added support for `__float128` (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/3494). - Fixed rounding issues when formatting `long double` with fixed precision (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/3539). - Made `fmt::isnan` not trigger floating-point exception for NaN values (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/3948, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3951). Thanks @alexdewar. - Removed dependency on `` for `std::allocator_traits` when possible (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3804). Thanks @phprus. - Enabled compile-time checks in formatting functions that take text colors and styles. - Deprecated wide stream overloads of `fmt::print` that take text styles. - Made format string compilation work with clang 12 and later despite only partial non-type template parameter support (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/4000, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/4001). Thanks @yujincheng08. - Made `fmt::iterator_buffer`'s move constructor `noexcept` (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3808). Thanks @waywardmonkeys. - Started enforcing that `formatter::format` is const for compatibility with `std::format` (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/3447). - Added `fmt::basic_format_arg::visit` and deprecated `fmt::visit_format_arg`. - Made `fmt::basic_string_view` not constructible from `nullptr` for consistency with `std::string_view` in C++23 (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3846).

Thanks @cschreib. - Added a formatter for `std::source_location` (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3730). For example ([godbolt](https://godbolt.org/z/YajfKjhhr)): ```c++ #include #include int main() { fmt::print("{}\n", std::source_location::current()); } ``` prints ``` /app/example.cpp:5:51: int main() ``` Thanks @felix642. - Added a formatter for `std::bitset` (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3660). For example ([godbolt](https://godbolt.org/z/bdEaGeYxe)): ```c++ #include #include int main() { fmt::print("{}\n", std::bitset<6>(42)); // prints "101010" } ``` Thanks @muggenhor. - Added an experimental `nested_formatter` that provides an easy way of applying a formatter to one or more subobjects while automatically handling width, fill and alignment. For example: ```c++ #include struct point { double x, y; }; template <> struct fmt::formatter : nested_formatter { auto format(point p, format_context& ctx) const { return write_padded(ctx, [=](auto out) { return format_to(out, "({}, {})", nested(p.x), nested(p.y)); }); } }; int main() { fmt::print("[{:>20.2f}]", point{1, 2}); } ``` prints ``` [ (1.00, 2.00)] ``` - Added the generic representation (`g`) to `std::filesystem::path` (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/3715, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3729). For example: ```c++ #include #include int main() { fmt::print("{:g}\n", std::filesystem::path("C:\\foo")); } ``` prints `"C:/foo"` on Windows. Thanks @js324. - Made `format_as` work with references (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3739). Thanks @tchaikov. - Fixed formatting of invalid UTF-8 with precision (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/3284). - Fixed an inconsistency between `fmt::to_string` and `fmt::format` (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/3684). - Disallowed unsafe uses of `fmt::styled` (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/3625): ```c++ auto s = fmt::styled(std::string("dangle"), fmt::emphasis::bold); fmt::print("{}\n", s); // compile error ``` Pass `fmt::styled(...)` as a parameter instead. - Added a null check when formatting a C string with the `s` specifier (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/3706). - Disallowed the `c` specifier for `bool` (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/3726, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3734). Thanks @js324. - Made the default formatting unlocalized in `fmt::ostream_formatter` for consistency with the rest of the library (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/3460). - Fixed localized formatting in bases other than decimal (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/3693, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3750).

Thanks @Roman-Koshelev and @dimztimz. - Changed to only export `format_error` when {fmt} is built as a shared library (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/3626, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3627). Thanks @phprus. - Made `fmt::streamed` `constexpr`. (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3650).

Thanks @dimztimz and @hwhsu1231. - Fixed various warnings and compilation issues (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2969, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2971, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2975, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2982, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2985, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2988, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2989, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/3000, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/3006, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/3014, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/3015, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3021, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/3023, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3024, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3029, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3043, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/3052, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3053, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3054). Thanks @h-friederich, @dimztimz, @olupton, @bernhardmgruber and @phprus. # 9.0.0 - 2022-07-04 - Switched to the internal floating point formatter for all decimal presentation formats. In particular this results in consistent rounding on all platforms and removing the `s[n]printf` fallback for decimal FP formatting. - Compile-time floating point formatting no longer requires the header-only mode. For example ([godbolt](https://godbolt.org/z/G37PTeG3b)): ```c++ #include #include consteval auto compile_time_dtoa(double value) -> std::array { auto result = std::array(); fmt::format_to(result.data(), FMT_COMPILE("{}"), value); return result; } constexpr auto answer = compile_time_dtoa(0.42); ``` works with the default settings. - Improved the implementation of [Dragonbox](https://github.com/jk-jeon/dragonbox), the algorithm used for the default floating-point formatting (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2713, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2750). Thanks @jk-jeon. - Made `fmt::to_string` work with `__float128`. This uses the internal FP formatter and works even on system without `__float128` support in `[s]printf`. - Disabled automatic `std::ostream` insertion operator (`operator<<`) discovery when `fmt/ostream.h` is included to prevent ODR violations. You can get the old behavior by defining `FMT_DEPRECATED_OSTREAM` but this will be removed in the next major release. Use `fmt::streamed` or `fmt::ostream_formatter` to enable formatting via `std::ostream` instead. - Added `fmt::ostream_formatter` that can be used to write `formatter` specializations that perform formatting via `std::ostream`. For example ([godbolt](https://godbolt.org/z/5sEc5qMsf)): ```c++ #include struct date { int year, month, day; friend std::ostream& operator<<(std::ostream& os, const date& d) { return os << d.year << '-' << d.month << '-' << d.day; } }; template <> struct fmt::formatter : ostream_formatter {}; std::string s = fmt::format("The date is {}", date{2012, 12, 9}); // s == "The date is 2012-12-9" ``` - Added the `fmt::streamed` function that takes an object and formats it via `std::ostream`. For example ([godbolt](https://godbolt.org/z/5G3346G1f)): ```c++ #include #include int main() { fmt::print("Current thread id: {}\n", fmt::streamed(std::this_thread::get_id())); } ``` Note that `fmt/std.h` provides a `formatter` specialization for `std::thread::id` so you don\'t need to format it via `std::ostream`. - Deprecated implicit conversions of unscoped enums to integers for consistency with scoped enums. - Added an argument-dependent lookup based `format_as` extension API to simplify formatting of enums. - Added experimental `std::variant` formatting support (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2941). For example ([godbolt](https://godbolt.org/z/KG9z6cq68)): ```c++ #include #include int main() { auto v = std::variant(42); fmt::print("{}\n", v); } ``` prints: variant(42) Thanks @jehelset. - Added experimental `std::filesystem::path` formatting support (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2865, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2902, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2917, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2918). For example ([godbolt](https://godbolt.org/z/o44dMexEb)): ```c++ #include #include int main() { fmt::print("There is no place like {}.", std::filesystem::path("/home")); } ``` prints: There is no place like "/home". Thanks @phprus. - Added a `std::thread::id` formatter to `fmt/std.h`. For example ([godbolt](https://godbolt.org/z/j1azbYf3E)): ```c++ #include #include int main() { fmt::print("Current thread id: {}\n", std::this_thread::get_id()); } ``` - Added `fmt::styled` that applies a text style to an individual argument (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2793). For example ([godbolt](https://godbolt.org/z/vWGW7v5M6)): ```c++ #include #include int main() { auto now = std::chrono::system_clock::now(); fmt::print( "[{}] {}: {}\n", fmt::styled(now, fmt::emphasis::bold), fmt::styled("error", fg(fmt::color::red)), "something went wrong"); } ``` prints ![](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/576385/175071215-12809244-dab0-4005-96d8-7cd911c964d5.png) Thanks @rbrugo. - Made `fmt::print` overload for text styles correctly handle UTF-8 (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2681, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2701). Thanks @AlexGuteniev. - Fixed Unicode handling when writing to an ostream. - Added support for nested specifiers to range formatting (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2673). For example ([godbolt](https://godbolt.org/z/xd3Gj38cf)): ```c++ #include #include int main() { fmt::print("{::#x}\n", std::vector{10, 20, 30}); } ``` prints `[0xa, 0x14, 0x1e]`. Thanks @BRevzin. - Implemented escaping of wide strings in ranges (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2904). Thanks @phprus. - Added support for ranges with `begin` / `end` found via the argument-dependent lookup (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2807). Thanks @rbrugo. - Fixed formatting of certain kinds of ranges of ranges (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2787). Thanks @BRevzin. - Fixed handling of maps with element types other than `std::pair` (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2944). Thanks @BrukerJWD. - Made tuple formatter enabled only if elements are formattable (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2939, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2940). Thanks @jehelset. - Made `fmt::join` compatible with format string compilation (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2719, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2720). Thanks @phprus. - Made compile-time checks work with named arguments of custom types and `std::ostream` `print` overloads (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2816, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2817, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2819). Thanks @timsong-cpp. - Removed `make_args_checked` because it is no longer needed for compile-time checks (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2760). Thanks @phprus. - Removed the following deprecated APIs: `_format`, `arg_join`, the `format_to` overload that takes a memory buffer, `[v]fprintf` that takes an `ostream`. - Removed the deprecated implicit conversion of `[const] signed char*` and `[const] unsigned char*` to C strings. - Removed the deprecated `fmt/locale.h`. - Replaced the deprecated `fileno()` with `descriptor()` in `buffered_file`. - Moved `to_string_view` to the `detail` namespace since it\'s an implementation detail. - Made access mode of a created file consistent with `fopen` by setting `S_IWGRP` and `S_IWOTH` (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2733). Thanks @arogge. - Removed a redundant buffer resize when formatting to `std::ostream` (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2842, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2843). Thanks @jcelerier. - Made precision computation for strings consistent with width (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2888). - Fixed handling of locale separators in floating point formatting (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2830). - Made sign specifiers work with `__int128_t` (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2773). - Improved support for systems such as CHERI with extra data stored in pointers (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2932). Thanks @davidchisnall. - Improved documentation (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2706, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2712, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2789, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2803, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2805, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2815, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2924).

Processing of some specifiers such as `%z` and `%Y` is now up to 10-20 times faster, for example on GCC 11 with libstdc++: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Benchmark Before After ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- FMTFormatter_z 261 ns 26.3 ns FMTFormatterCompile_z 246 ns 11.6 ns FMTFormatter_Y 263 ns 26.1 ns FMTFormatterCompile_Y 244 ns 10.5 ns ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks @phprus and @toughengineer. - Implemented subsecond formatting for chrono durations (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2623). For example ([godbolt](https://godbolt.org/z/es7vWTETe)): ```c++ #include int main() { fmt::print("{:%S}", std::chrono::milliseconds(1234)); } ``` prints \"01.234\". Thanks @matrackif. - Fixed handling of precision 0 when formatting chrono durations (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2587, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2588). Thanks @lukester1975. - Fixed an overflow on invalid inputs in the `tm` formatter (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2564). Thanks @phprus. - Added `fmt::group_digits` that formats integers with a non-localized digit separator (comma) for groups of three digits. For example ([godbolt](https://godbolt.org/z/TxGxG9Poq)): ```c++ #include int main() { fmt::print("{} dollars", fmt::group_digits(1000000)); } ``` prints \"1,000,000 dollars\". - Added support for faint, conceal, reverse and blink text styles (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2394): Thanks @benit8 and @data-man. - Added experimental support for compile-time floating point formatting (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2426, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2470). It is currently limited to the header-only mode. Thanks @alexezeder. - Added UDL-based named argument support to compile-time format string checks (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2640, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2649). For example ([godbolt](https://godbolt.org/z/ohGbbvonv)): ```c++ #include int main() { using namespace fmt::literals; fmt::print("{answer:s}", "answer"_a=42); } ``` gives a compile-time error on compilers with C++20 `consteval` and non-type template parameter support (gcc 10+) because `s` is not a valid format specifier for an integer. Thanks @alexezeder. - Implemented escaping of string range elements. For example ([godbolt](https://godbolt.org/z/rKvM1vKf3)): ```c++ #include #include int main() { fmt::print("{}", std::vector{"\naan"}); } ``` is now printed as: ["\naan"] instead of: [" aan"] - Added an experimental `?` specifier for escaping strings. (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2674). Thanks @BRevzin. - Switched to JSON-like representation of maps and sets for consistency with Python\'s `str.format`. For example ([godbolt](https://godbolt.org/z/seKjoY9W5)): ```c++ #include #include int main() { fmt::print("{}", std::map{{"answer", 42}}); } ``` is now printed as: {"answer": 42} - Extended `fmt::join` to support C++20-only ranges (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2549). Thanks @BRevzin. - Optimized handling of non-const-iterable ranges and implemented initial support for non-const-formattable types. - Disabled implicit conversions of scoped enums to integers that was accidentally introduced in earlier versions (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1841). - Deprecated implicit conversion of `[const] signed char*` and `[const] unsigned char*` to C strings. - Deprecated `_format`, a legacy UDL-based format API (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2646). Thanks @alexezeder. - Marked `format`, `formatted_size` and `to_string` as `[[nodiscard]]` (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2612). @0x8000-0000. - Added missing diagnostic when trying to format function and member pointers as well as objects convertible to pointers which is explicitly disallowed (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2598, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2609, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2610). Thanks @AlexGuteniev. - Optimized writing to a contiguous buffer with `format_to_n` (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2489). Thanks @Roman-Koshelev. - Optimized writing to non-`char` buffers (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2477). Thanks @Roman-Koshelev. - Decimal point is now localized when using the `L` specifier. - Improved floating point formatter implementation (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2498, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2499). Thanks @Roman-Koshelev. - Fixed handling of very large precision in fixed format (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2616). - Made a table of cached powers used in FP formatting static (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2509). Thanks @jk-jeon. - Resolved a lookup ambiguity with C++20 format-related functions due to ADL (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2639, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2641). Thanks @mkurdej. - Removed unnecessary inline namespace qualification (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2642, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2643). Thanks @mkurdej. - Implemented argument forwarding in `format_to_n` (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2462, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2463). Thanks @owent. - Fixed handling of implicit conversions in `fmt::to_string` and format string compilation (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2565). - Changed the default access mode of files created by `fmt::output_file` to `-rw-r--r--` for consistency with `fopen` (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2530). - Make `fmt::ostream::flush` public (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2435). - Improved C++14/17 attribute detection (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2615). Thanks @AlexGuteniev. - Improved `consteval` detection for MSVC (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2559). Thanks @DanielaE. - Improved documentation (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2406, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2446, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2493, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2513, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2515, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2522, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2562, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2575, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2606, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2620, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2676). Thanks @sobolevn, @UnePierre, @zhsj, @phprus, @ericcurtin and @Lounarok. - Improved fuzzers and added a fuzzer for chrono timepoint formatting (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2461, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2469). @pauldreik, - Added the `FMT_SYSTEM_HEADERS` CMake option setting which marks {fmt}\'s headers as system. It can be used to suppress warnings (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2644, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2651). Thanks @alexezeder. - Added the Bazel build system support (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2505, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2516). Thanks @Vertexwahn. - Improved build configuration and tests (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2437, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2558, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2648, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2650, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2663, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2677). Thanks @DanielaE, @alexezeder and @phprus. - Fixed various warnings and compilation issues (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2353, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2356, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2399, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2408, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2414, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2427, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2432, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2442, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2434, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2439, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2447, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2450, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2455, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2465, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2472, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2474, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2476, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2478, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2479, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2481, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2482, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2483, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2490, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2491, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2510, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2518, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2528, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2529, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2539, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2540, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2545, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2555, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2557, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2570, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2573, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2582, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2605, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2611, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2647, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2627, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2630, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2635, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2638, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2653, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2654, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2661, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2664, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2684). Thanks @DanielaE, @mwinterb, @cdacamar, @TrebledJ, @bodomartin, @cquammen, @white238, @mmarkeloff, @palacaze, @jcelerier, @mborn-adi, @BrukerJWD, @spyridon97, @phprus, @oliverlee, @joshessman-llnl, @akohlmey, @timkalu, @olupton, @Acretock, @alexezeder, @andrewcorrigan, @lucpelletier and @HazardyKnusperkeks. # 8.0.1 - 2021-07-02 - Fixed the version number in the inline namespace (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2374). - Added a missing presentation type check for `std::string` (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2402). - Fixed a linkage error when mixing code built with clang and gcc (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2377). - Fixed documentation issues (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2396, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2403, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2406). Thanks @mkurdej. - Removed dead code in FP formatter ( https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2398). Thanks @javierhonduco. - Fixed various warnings and compilation issues (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2351, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2359, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2365, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2368, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2370, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2376, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2381, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2382, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2386, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2389, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2395, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2397, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2400, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2401, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2407). Thanks @zx2c4, @AidanSun05, @mattiasljungstrom, @joemmett, @erengy, @patlkli, @gsjaardema and @phprus. # 8.0.0 - 2021-06-21 - Enabled compile-time format string checks by default. For example ([godbolt](https://godbolt.org/z/sMxcohGjz)): ```c++ #include int main() { fmt::print("{:d}", "I am not a number"); } ``` gives a compile-time error on compilers with C++20 `consteval` support (gcc 10+, clang 11+) because `d` is not a valid format specifier for a string. To pass a runtime string wrap it in `fmt::runtime`: ```c++ fmt::print(fmt::runtime("{:d}"), "I am not a number"); ``` - Added compile-time formatting (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2019, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2044, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2056, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2072, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2075, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2078, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2129, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2326). For example ([godbolt](https://godbolt.org/z/Mxx9d89jM)): ```c++ #include consteval auto compile_time_itoa(int value) -> std::array { auto result = std::array(); fmt::format_to(result.data(), FMT_COMPILE("{}"), value); return result; } constexpr auto answer = compile_time_itoa(42); ``` Most of the formatting functionality is available at compile time with a notable exception of floating-point numbers and pointers. Thanks @alexezeder. - Optimized handling of format specifiers during format string compilation. For example, hexadecimal formatting (`"{:x}"`) is now 3-7x faster than before when using `format_to` with format string compilation and a stack-allocated buffer (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1944).

It can be used instead of the `FMT_COMPILE` macro (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2043, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2242): ```c++ #include using namespace fmt::literals; auto s = fmt::format(FMT_COMPILE("{}"), 42); // πŸ™ not modern auto s = fmt::format("{}"_cf, 42); // πŸ™‚ modern as hell ``` It requires compiler support for class types in non-type template parameters (a C++20 feature) which is available in GCC 9.3+. Thanks @alexezeder. - Format string compilation now requires `format` functions of `formatter` specializations for user-defined types to be `const`: ```c++ template <> struct fmt::formatter: formatter { template auto format(my_type obj, FormatContext& ctx) const { // Note const here. // ... } }; ``` - Added UDL-based named argument support to format string compilation (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2243, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2281). For example: ```c++ #include using namespace fmt::literals; auto s = fmt::format(FMT_COMPILE("{answer}"), "answer"_a = 42); ``` Here the argument named \"answer\" is resolved at compile time with no runtime overhead. Thanks @alexezeder. - Added format string compilation support to `fmt::print` (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2280, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2304). Thanks @alexezeder. - Added initial support for compiling {fmt} as a C++20 module (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2235, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2240, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2260, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2282, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2283, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2288, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2298, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2306, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2307, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2309, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2318, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2324, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2332, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2340). Thanks @DanielaE. - Made symbols private by default reducing shared library size (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2301). For example there was a \~15% reported reduction on one platform. Thanks @sergiud. - Optimized includes making the result of preprocessing `fmt/format.h` \~20% smaller with libstdc++/C++20 and slightly improving build times (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1998). - Added support of ranges with non-const `begin` / `end` (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1953). Thanks @kitegi. - Added support of `std::byte` and other formattable types to `fmt::join` (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1981, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2040, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2050, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2262). For example: ```c++ #include #include #include int main() { auto bytes = std::vector{std::byte(4), std::byte(2)}; fmt::print("{}", fmt::join(bytes, "")); } ``` prints \"42\". Thanks @kamibo. - Implemented the default format for `std::chrono::system_clock` (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2319, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2345). For example: ```c++ #include int main() { fmt::print("{}", std::chrono::system_clock::now()); } ``` prints \"2021-06-18 15:22:00\" (the output depends on the current date and time). Thanks @sunmy2019. - Made more chrono specifiers locale independent by default. Use the `'L'` specifier to get localized formatting. For example: ```c++ #include int main() { std::locale::global(std::locale("ru_RU.UTF-8")); auto monday = std::chrono::weekday(1); fmt::print("{}\n", monday); // prints "Mon" fmt::print("{:L}\n", monday); // prints "ΠΏΠ½" } ``` - Improved locale handling in chrono formatting (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2337, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2349, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2350). Thanks @phprus. - Deprecated `fmt/locale.h` moving the formatting functions that take a locale to `fmt/format.h` (`char`) and `fmt/xchar` (other overloads). This doesn\'t introduce a dependency on `` so there is virtually no compile time effect. - Deprecated an undocumented `format_to` overload that takes `basic_memory_buffer`. - Made parameter order in `vformat_to` consistent with `format_to` (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2327). - Added support for time points with arbitrary durations (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2208). For example: ```c++ #include int main() { using tp = std::chrono::time_point< std::chrono::system_clock, std::chrono::seconds>; fmt::print("{:%S}", tp(std::chrono::seconds(42))); } ``` prints \"42\". - Formatting floating-point numbers no longer produces trailing zeros by default for consistency with `std::format`. For example: ```c++ #include int main() { fmt::print("{0:.3}", 1.1); } ``` prints \"1.1\". Use the `'#'` specifier to keep trailing zeros. - Dropped a limit on the number of elements in a range and replaced `{}` with `[]` as range delimiters for consistency with Python\'s `str.format`. - The `'L'` specifier for locale-specific numeric formatting can now be combined with presentation specifiers as in `std::format`. For example: ```c++ #include #include int main() { std::locale::global(std::locale("fr_FR.UTF-8")); fmt::print("{0:.2Lf}", 0.42); } ``` prints \"0,42\". The deprecated `'n'` specifier has been removed. - Made the `0` specifier ignored for infinity and NaN (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2305, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2310). Thanks @Liedtke. - Made the hexfloat formatting use the right alignment by default (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2308, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2317). Thanks @Liedtke. - Removed the deprecated numeric alignment (`'='`). Use the `'0'` specifier instead. - Removed the deprecated `fmt/posix.h` header that has been replaced with `fmt/os.h`. - Removed the deprecated `format_to_n_context`, `format_to_n_args` and `make_format_to_n_args`. They have been replaced with `format_context`, `` format_args` and ``make_format_args\`\` respectively. - Moved `wchar_t`-specific functions and types to `fmt/xchar.h`. You can define `FMT_DEPRECATED_INCLUDE_XCHAR` to automatically include `fmt/xchar.h` from `fmt/format.h` but this will be disabled in the next major release. - Fixed handling of the `'+'` specifier in localized formatting (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2133). - Added support for the `'s'` format specifier that gives textual representation of `bool` (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2094, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2109). For example: ```c++ #include int main() { fmt::print("{:s}", true); } ``` prints \"true\". Thanks @powercoderlol. - Made `fmt::ptr` work with function pointers (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2131). For example: ```c++ #include int main() { fmt::print("My main: {}\n", fmt::ptr(main)); } ``` Thanks @mikecrowe. - The undocumented support for specializing `formatter` for pointer types has been removed. - Fixed `fmt::formatted_size` with format string compilation (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2141, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2161). Thanks @alexezeder. - Fixed handling of empty format strings during format string compilation (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2042): ```c++ auto s = fmt::format(FMT_COMPILE("")); ``` Thanks @alexezeder. - Fixed handling of enums in `fmt::to_string` (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2036). - Improved width computation (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2033, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2091). For example: ```c++ #include int main() { fmt::print("{:-<10}{}\n", "δ½ ε₯½", "δΈ–η•Œ"); fmt::print("{:-<10}{}\n", "hello", "world"); } ``` prints ![](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/576385/119840373-cea3ca80-beb9-11eb-91e0-54266c48e181.png) on a modern terminal. - The experimental fast output stream (`fmt::ostream`) is now truncated by default for consistency with `fopen` (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2018). For example: ```c++ #include int main() { fmt::ostream out1 = fmt::output_file("guide"); out1.print("Zaphod"); out1.close(); fmt::ostream out2 = fmt::output_file("guide"); out2.print("Ford"); } ``` writes \"Ford\" to the file \"guide\". To preserve the old file content if any pass `fmt::file::WRONLY | fmt::file::CREATE` flags to `fmt::output_file`. - Fixed moving of `fmt::ostream` that holds buffered data (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2197, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2198). Thanks @vtta. - Replaced the `fmt::system_error` exception with a function of the same name that constructs `std::system_error` (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2266). - Replaced the `fmt::windows_error` exception with a function of the same name that constructs `std::system_error` with the category returned by `fmt::system_category()` (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2274, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2275). The latter is similar to `std::system_category` but correctly handles UTF-8. Thanks @phprus. - Replaced `fmt::error_code` with `std::error_code` and made it formattable (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2269, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2270, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2273). Thanks @phprus. - Added speech synthesis support (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2206). - Made `format_to` work with a memory buffer that has a custom allocator (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2300). Thanks @voxmea. - Added `Allocator::max_size` support to `basic_memory_buffer`. (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1960). Thanks @phprus. - Added wide string support to `fmt::join` (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2236). Thanks @crbrz. - Made iterators passed to `formatter` specializations via a format context satisfy C++20 `std::output_iterator` requirements (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2156, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2158, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2195, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2204). Thanks @randomnetcat. - Optimized the `printf` implementation (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1982, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1984, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2016, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2164). Thanks @rimathia and @moiwi. - Improved detection of `constexpr` `char_traits` (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2246, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2257). Thanks @phprus. - Fixed writing to `stdout` when it is redirected to `NUL` on Windows (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2080). - Fixed exception propagation from iterators (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2097). - Improved `strftime` error handling (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2238, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2244). Thanks @yumeyao. - Stopped using deprecated GCC UDL template extension. - Added `fmt/args.h` to the install target (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2096). - Error messages are now passed to assert when exceptions are disabled (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2145).
