10.0.0 - TBD ------------ * Replaced Grisu with a new floating-point formatting algorithm for given precision (`#3262 `_, `#2750 `_, `#3269 `_). The new algorithm is based on Dragonbox already used for the shortest representation and gives substantial performance improvement: .. image:: https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/33922675/ 211956670-84891a09-6867-47d9-82fc-3230da7abe0f.png * Red: new algorithm * Green: new algorithm with ``FMT_USE_FULL_CACHE_DRAGONBOX`` defined to 1 * Blue: old algorithm Thanks `@jk-jeon (Junekey Jeon) `_. * Fixed alignment of floating-point numbers with localization (`#3263 `_, `#3272 `_). Thanks `@ShawnZhong (Shawn Zhong) `_. * Made ``format_as`` work with any user-defined type and not just enums. For example (`godbolt `__): .. code:: c++ #include struct floaty_mc_floatface { double value; }; auto format_as(floaty_mc_floatface f) { return f.value; } int main() { fmt::print("{:8}\n", floaty_mc_floatface{0.42}); // prints " 0.42" } * Added support for fill, align and width to the time point formatter (`#3237 `_, `#3260 `_). For example (`godbolt `__): .. code:: c++ #include int main() { // prints " 2023" fmt::print("{:>8%Y}\n", std::chrono::system_clock::now()); } Thanks `@ShawnZhong (Shawn Zhong) `_. * Implemented formatting of subseconds (`#3117 `_, `#3115 `_).

Thanks `@ShawnZhong (Shawn Zhong) `_. * Added formatters for standard container adapters: ``std::priority_queue``, ``std::queue`` and ``std::stack`` (`#3215 `_, `#3279 `_). For example (`godbolt `__): .. code:: c++ #include #include #include int main() { auto s = std::stack>(); for (auto b: {true, false, true}) s.push(b); fmt::print("{}\n", s); // prints [true, false, true] } Thanks `@ShawnZhong (Shawn Zhong) `_. * Fixed formatting of noncopyable ranges (`#3286 `_, `#3290 `_). Thanks `@BRevzin (Barry Revzin) `_. * Fixed issues with formatting of paths and ranges of paths (`#3319 `_, `#3322 `_). Thanks `@phprus (Vladislav Shchapov) `_. * Fixed formatting of time points before the epoch (`#3117 `_, `#3261 `_). For example (`godbolt `__): .. code:: c++ #include int main() { auto t = std::chrono::system_clock::from_time_t(0) - std::chrono::milliseconds(250); fmt::print("{:%S}\n", t); // prints 59.750000000 } Thanks `@ShawnZhong (Shawn Zhong) `_. * Improved compile-time checks of named arguments (`#3105 `_, `#3214 `_).

Thanks `@h-friederich (Hannes Friederich) `_, `@dimztimz (Dimitrij Mijoski) `_, `@olupton (Olli Lupton) `_, `@bernhardmgruber (Bernhard Manfred Gruber) `_, `@phprus (Vladislav Shchapov) `_. 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 `__): .. code:: 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 `_, the algorithm used for the default floating-point formatting (`#2713 `_, `#2750 `_). Thanks `@jk-jeon (Junekey 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 `__): .. code:: 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 `__): .. code:: 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 (`#2941 `_). For example (`godbolt `__): .. code:: 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 (`#2865 `_, `#2902 `_, `#2917 `_, `#2918 `_). For example (`godbolt `__): .. code:: 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 (Vladislav Shchapov) `_. * Added a ``std::thread::id`` formatter to ``fmt/std.h``. For example (`godbolt `__): .. code:: 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 (`#2793 `_). For example (`godbolt `__): .. code:: 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 .. image:: https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/576385/ 175071215-12809244-dab0-4005-96d8-7cd911c964d5.png Thanks `@rbrugo (Riccardo Brugo) `_. * Made ``fmt::print`` overload for text styles correctly handle UTF-8 (`#2681 `_, `#2701 `_). Thanks `@AlexGuteniev (Alex Guteniev) `_. * Fixed Unicode handling when writing to an ostream. * Added support for nested specifiers to range formatting (`#2673 `_). For example (`godbolt `__): .. code:: c++ #include #include int main() { fmt::print("{::#x}\n", std::vector{10, 20, 30}); } prints ``[0xa, 0x14, 0x1e]``. Thanks `@BRevzin (Barry Revzin) `_. * Implemented escaping of wide strings in ranges (`#2904 `_). Thanks `@phprus (Vladislav Shchapov) `_. * Added support for ranges with ``begin`` / ``end`` found via the argument-dependent lookup (`#2807 `_). Thanks `@rbrugo (Riccardo Brugo) `_. * Fixed formatting of certain kinds of ranges of ranges (`#2787 `_). Thanks `@BRevzin (Barry Revzin) `_. * Fixed handling of maps with element types other than ``std::pair`` (`#2944 `_). Thanks `@BrukerJWD (Jonathan W) `_. * Made tuple formatter enabled only if elements are formattable (`#2939 `_, `#2940 `_). Thanks `@jehelset `_. * Made ``fmt::join`` compatible with format string compilation (`#2719 `_, `#2720 `_). Thanks `@phprus (Vladislav Shchapov) `_. * Made compile-time checks work with named arguments of custom types and ``std::ostream`` ``print`` overloads (`#2816 `_, `#2817 `_, `#2819 `_). Thanks `@timsong-cpp `_. * Removed ``make_args_checked`` because it is no longer needed for compile-time checks (`#2760 `_). Thanks `@phprus (Vladislav Shchapov) `_. * 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`` (`#2733 `_). Thanks `@arogge (Andreas Rogge) `_. * Removed a redundant buffer resize when formatting to ``std::ostream`` (`#2842 `_, `#2843 `_). Thanks `@jcelerier (Jean-Michaël Celerier) `_. * Made precision computation for strings consistent with width (`#2888 `_). * Fixed handling of locale separators in floating point formatting (`#2830 `_). * Made sign specifiers work with ``__int128_t`` (`#2773 `_). * Improved support for systems such as CHERI with extra data stored in pointers (`#2932 `_). Thanks `@davidchisnall (David Chisnall) `_. * Improved documentation (`#2706 `_, `#2712 `_, `#2789 `_, `#2803 `_, `#2805 `_, `#2815 `_, `#2924 `_).

Thanks `@DanielaE (Daniela Engert) `_, `@alexezeder (Alexey Ochapov) `_, `@phprus (Vladislav Shchapov) `_. * Fixed various warnings and compilation issues (`#2353 `_, `#2356 `_, `#2399 `_, `#2408 `_, `#2414 `_, `#2427 `_, `#2432 `_, `#2442 `_, `#2434 `_, `#2439 `_, `#2447 `_, `#2450 `_, `#2455 `_, `#2465 `_, `#2472 `_, `#2474 `_, `#2476 `_, `#2478 `_, `#2479 `_, `#2481 `_, `#2482 `_, `#2483 `_, `#2490 `_, `#2491 `_, `#2510 `_, `#2518 `_, `#2528 `_, `#2529 `_, `#2539 `_, `#2540 `_, `#2545 `_, `#2555 `_, `#2557 `_, `#2570 `_, `#2573 `_, `#2582 `_, `#2605 `_, `#2611 `_, `#2647 `_, `#2627 `_, `#2630 `_, `#2635 `_, `#2638 `_, `#2653 `_, `#2654 `_, `#2661 `_, `#2664 `_, `#2684 `_).

Thanks `@mkurdej (Marek Kurdej) `_. * Removed dead code in FP formatter ( `#2398 `_). Thanks `@javierhonduco (Javier Honduvilla Coto) `_. * Fixed various warnings and compilation issues (`#2351 `_, `#2359 `_, `#2365 `_, `#2368 `_, `#2370 `_, `#2376 `_, `#2381 `_, `#2382 `_, `#2386 `_, `#2389 `_, `#2395 `_, `#2397 `_, `#2400 `_, `#2401 `_, `#2407 `_). Thanks `@zx2c4 (Jason A. Donenfeld) `_, `@AidanSun05 (Aidan Sun) `_, `@mattiasljungstrom (Mattias Ljungström) `_, `@joemmett (Jonathan Emmett) `_, `@erengy (Eren Okka) `_, `@patlkli (Patrick Geltinger) `_, `@gsjaardema (Greg Sjaardema) `_, `@phprus (Vladislav Shchapov) `_. 8.0.0 - 2021-06-21 ------------------ * Enabled compile-time format string checks by default. For example (`godbolt `__): .. code:: 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``: .. code:: c++ fmt::print(fmt::runtime("{:d}"), "I am not a number"); * Added compile-time formatting (`#2019 `_, `#2044 `_, `#2056 `_, `#2072 `_, `#2075 `_, `#2078 `_, `#2129 `_, `#2326 `_). For example (`godbolt `__): .. code:: 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 (Alexey Ochapov) `_. * 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 (`#1944 `_).

It can be used instead of the ``FMT_COMPILE`` macro (`#2043 `_, `#2242 `_): .. code:: c++ #include using namespace fmt::literals; auto s = fmt::format(FMT_COMPILE("{}"), 42); // 🙁 not modern auto s = fmt::format("{}"_cf, 42); // 🙂 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 (Alexey Ochapov) `_. * Format string compilation now requires ``format`` functions of ``formatter`` specializations for user-defined types to be ``const``: .. code:: 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 (`#2243 `_, `#2281 `_). For example: .. code:: 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 (Alexey Ochapov) `_. * Added format string compilation support to ``fmt::print`` (`#2280 `_, `#2304 `_). Thanks `@alexezeder (Alexey Ochapov) `_. * Added initial support for compiling {fmt} as a C++20 module (`#2235 `_, `#2240 `_, `#2260 `_, `#2282 `_, `#2283 `_, `#2288 `_, `#2298 `_, `#2306 `_, `#2307 `_, `#2309 `_, `#2318 `_, `#2324 `_, `#2332 `_, `#2340 `_). Thanks `@DanielaE (Daniela Engert) `_. * Made symbols private by default reducing shared library size (`#2301 `_). For example there was a ~15% reported reduction on one platform. Thanks `@sergiud (Sergiu Deitsch) `_. * Optimized includes making the result of preprocessing ``fmt/format.h`` ~20% smaller with libstdc++/C++20 and slightly improving build times (`#1998 `_). * Added support of ranges with non-const ``begin`` / ``end`` (`#1953 `_). Thanks `@kitegi (sarah) `_. * Added support of ``std::byte`` and other formattable types to ``fmt::join`` (`#1981 `_, `#2040 `_, `#2050 `_, `#2262 `_). For example: .. code:: 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 (Camille Bordignon) `_. * Implemented the default format for ``std::chrono::system_clock`` (`#2319 `_, `#2345 `_). For example: .. code:: 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: .. code:: 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 "пн" } * Improved locale handling in chrono formatting (`#2337 `_, `#2349 `_, `#2350 `_). Thanks `@phprus (Vladislav Shchapov) `_. * 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`` (`#2327 `_). * Added support for time points with arbitrary durations (`#2208 `_). For example: .. code:: 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: .. code:: 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: .. code:: 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 (`#2305 `_, `#2310 `_). Thanks `@Liedtke (Matthias Liedtke) `_. * Made the hexfloat formatting use the right alignment by default (`#2308 `_, `#2317 `_). Thanks `@Liedtke (Matthias 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 (`#2133 `_). * Added support for the ``'s'`` format specifier that gives textual representation of ``bool`` (`#2094 `_, `#2109 `_). For example: .. code:: c++ #include int main() { fmt::print("{:s}", true); } prints "true". Thanks `@powercoderlol (Ivan Polyakov) `_. * Made ``fmt::ptr`` work with function pointers (`#2131 `_). For example: .. code:: c++ #include int main() { fmt::print("My main: {}\n", fmt::ptr(main)); } Thanks `@mikecrowe (Mike Crowe) `_. * The undocumented support for specializing ``formatter`` for pointer types has been removed. * Fixed ``fmt::formatted_size`` with format string compilation (`#2141 `_, `#2161 `_). Thanks `@alexezeder (Alexey Ochapov) `_. * Fixed handling of empty format strings during format string compilation (`#2042 `_): .. code:: c++ auto s = fmt::format(FMT_COMPILE("")); Thanks `@alexezeder (Alexey Ochapov) `_. * Fixed handling of enums in ``fmt::to_string`` (`#2036 `_). * Improved width computation (`#2033 `_, `#2091 `_). For example: .. code:: c++ #include int main() { fmt::print("{:-<10}{}\n", "你好", "世界"); fmt::print("{:-<10}{}\n", "hello", "world"); } prints .. image:: 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`` (`#2018 `_). For example: .. code:: 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 (`#2197 `_, `#2198 `_). Thanks `@vtta `_. * Replaced the ``fmt::system_error`` exception with a function of the same name that constructs ``std::system_error`` (`#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()`` (`#2274 `_, `#2275 `_). The latter is similar to ``std::sytem_category`` but correctly handles UTF-8. Thanks `@phprus (Vladislav Shchapov) `_. * Replaced ``fmt::error_code`` with ``std::error_code`` and made it formattable (`#2269 `_, `#2270 `_, `#2273 `_). Thanks `@phprus (Vladislav Shchapov) `_. * Added speech synthesis support (`#2206 `_). * Made ``format_to`` work with a memory buffer that has a custom allocator (`#2300 `_). Thanks `@voxmea `_. * Added ``Allocator::max_size`` support to ``basic_memory_buffer``. (`#1960 `_). Thanks `@phprus (Vladislav Shchapov) `_. * Added wide string support to ``fmt::join`` (`#2236 `_). Thanks `@crbrz `_. * Made iterators passed to ``formatter`` specializations via a format context satisfy C++20 ``std::output_iterator`` requirements (`#2156 `_, `#2158 `_, `#2195 `_, `#2204 `_). Thanks `@randomnetcat (Jason Cobb) `_. * Optimized the ``printf`` implementation (`#1982 `_, `#1984 `_, `#2016 `_, `#2164 `_). Thanks `@rimathia `_ and `@moiwi `_. * Improved detection of ``constexpr`` ``char_traits`` (`#2246 `_, `#2257 `_). Thanks `@phprus (Vladislav Shchapov) `_. * Fixed writing to ``stdout`` when it is redirected to ``NUL`` on Windows (`#2080 `_). * Fixed exception propagation from iterators (`#2097 `_). * Improved ``strftime`` error handling (`#2238 `_, `#2244 `_). Thanks `@yumeyao `_. * Stopped using deprecated GCC UDL template extension. * Added ``fmt/args.h`` to the install target (`#2096 `_). * Error messages are now passed to assert when exceptions are disabled (`#2145 `_). Thanks `@NobodyXu (Jiahao XU) `_. * Added the ``FMT_MASTER_PROJECT`` CMake option to control build and install targets when {fmt} is included via ``add_subdirectory`` (`#2098 `_, `#2100 `_). Thanks `@randomizedthinking `_. * Improved build configuration (`#2026 `_, `#2122 `_). Thanks `@luncliff (Park DongHa) `_ and `@ibaned (Dan Ibanez) `_. * Fixed various warnings and compilation issues (`#1947 `_, `#1959 `_, `#1963 `_, `#1965 `_, `#1966 `_, `#1974 `_, `#1975 `_, `#1990 `_, `#2000 `_, `#2001 `_, `#2002 `_, `#2004 `_, `#2006 `_, `#2009 `_, `#2010 `_, `#2038 `_, `#2039 `_, `#2047 `_, `#2053 `_, `#2059 `_, `#2065 `_, `#2067 `_, `#2068 `_, `#2073 `_, `#2103 `_, `#2105 `_, `#2106 `_, `#2107 `_, `#2116 `_, `#2117 `_, `#2118 `_, `#2119 `_, `#2127 `_, `#2128 `_, `#2140 `_, `#2142 `_, `#2143 `_, `#2144 `_, `#2147 `_, `#2148 `_, `#2149 `_, `#2152 `_, `#2160 `_, `#2170 `_, `#2175 `_, `#2176 `_, `#2177 `_, `#2178 `_, `#2179 `_, `#2180 `_, `#2181 `_, `#2183 `_, `#2184 `_, `#2185 `_, `#2186 `_, `#2187 `_, `#2190 `_, `#2192 `_, `#2194 `_, `#2205 `_, `#2210 `_, `#2211 `_, `#2215 `_, `#2216 `_, `#2218 `_, `#2220 `_, `#2228 `_, `#2229 `_, `#2230 `_, `#2233 `_, `#2239 `_, `#2248 `_, `#2252 `_, `#2253 `_, `#2255 `_, `#2261 `_, `#2278 `_, `#2284 `_, `#2287 `_, `#2289 `_, `#2290 `_, `#2293 `_, `#2295 `_, `#2296 `_, `#2297 `_, `#2311 `_, `#2313 `_, `#2315 `_, `#2320 `_, `#2321 `_, `#2323 `_, `#2328 `_, `#2329 `_, `#2333 `_, `#2338 `_, `#2341 `_).

Thanks `@imba-tjd (谭九鼎) `_, `@0x416c69 (AlιAѕѕaѕѕιN) `_, `@mordante `_. * Continuous integration and test improvements (`#1969 `_, `#1991 `_, `#2020 `_, `#2110 `_, `#2114 `_, `#2196 `_, `#2217 `_, `#2247 `_, `#2256 `_, `#2336 `_, `#2346 `_). Thanks `@jgopel (Jonathan Gopel) `_, `@alexezeder (Alexey Ochapov) `_ and `@DanielaE (Daniela Engert) `_. 7.1.3 - 2020-11-24 ------------------ * Fixed handling of buffer boundaries in ``format_to_n`` (`#1996 `_, `#2029 `_). * Fixed linkage errors when linking with a shared library (`#2011 `_). * Reintroduced ostream support to range formatters (`#2014 `_). * Worked around an issue with mixing std versions in gcc (`#2017 `_). 7.1.2 - 2020-11-04 ------------------ * Fixed floating point formatting with large precision (`#1976 `_). 7.1.1 - 2020-11-01 ------------------ * Fixed ABI compatibility with 7.0.x (`#1961 `_). * Added the ``FMT_ARM_ABI_COMPATIBILITY`` macro to work around ABI incompatibility between GCC and Clang on ARM (`#1919 `_). * Worked around a SFINAE bug in GCC 8 (`#1957 `_). * Fixed linkage errors when building with GCC's LTO (`#1955 `_). * Fixed a compilation error when building without ``__builtin_clz`` or equivalent (`#1968 `_). Thanks `@tohammer (Tobias Hammer) `_. * Fixed a sign conversion warning (`#1964 `_). Thanks `@OptoCloud `_. 7.1.0 - 2020-10-25 ------------------ * Switched from `Grisu3 `_ to `Dragonbox `_ for the default floating-point formatting which gives the shortest decimal representation with round-trip guarantee and correct rounding (`#1882 `_, `#1887 `_, `#1894 `_). This makes {fmt} up to 20-30x faster than common implementations of ``std::ostringstream`` and ``sprintf`` on `dtoa-benchmark `_ and faster than double-conversion and Ryū: .. image:: https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/576385/ 95684665-11719600-0ba8-11eb-8e5b-972ff4e49428.png It is possible to get even better performance at the cost of larger binary size by compiling with the ``FMT_USE_FULL_CACHE_DRAGONBOX`` macro set to 1. Thanks `@jk-jeon (Junekey Jeon) `_. * Added an experimental unsynchronized file output API which, together with `format string compilation `_, can give `5-9 times speed up compared to fprintf `_ on common platforms (`godbolt `__): .. code:: c++ #include int main() { auto f = fmt::output_file("guide"); f.print("The answer is {}.", 42); } * Added a formatter for ``std::chrono::time_point`` (`#1819 `_, `#1837 `_). For example (`godbolt `__): .. code:: c++ #include int main() { auto now = std::chrono::system_clock::now(); fmt::print("The time is {:%H:%M:%S}.\n", now); } Thanks `@adamburgess (Adam Burgess) `_. * Added support for ranges with non-const ``begin``/``end`` to ``fmt::join`` (`#1784 `_, `#1786 `_). For example (`godbolt `__): .. code:: c++ #include #include int main() { using std::literals::string_literals::operator""s; auto strs = std::array{"a"s, "bb"s, "ccc"s}; auto range = strs | ranges::views::filter( [] (const std::string &x) { return x.size() != 2; } ); fmt::print("{}\n", fmt::join(range, "")); } prints "accc". Thanks `@tonyelewis (Tony E Lewis) `_. * Added a ``memory_buffer::append`` overload that takes a range (`#1806 `_). Thanks `@BRevzin (Barry Revzin) `_. * Improved handling of single code units in ``FMT_COMPILE``. For example: .. code:: c++ #include char* f(char* buf) { return fmt::format_to(buf, FMT_COMPILE("x{}"), 42); } compiles to just (`godbolt `__): .. code:: asm _Z1fPc: movb $120, (%rdi) xorl %edx, %edx cmpl $42, _ZN3fmt2v76detail10basic_dataIvE23zero_or_powers_of_10_32E+8(%rip) movl $3, %eax seta %dl subl %edx, %eax movzwl _ZN3fmt2v76detail10basic_dataIvE6digitsE+84(%rip), %edx cltq addq %rdi, %rax movw %dx, -2(%rax) ret Here a single ``mov`` instruction writes ``'x'`` (``$120``) to the output buffer. * Added dynamic width support to format string compilation (`#1809 `_). * Improved error reporting for unformattable types: now you'll get the type name directly in the error message instead of the note: .. code:: c++ #include struct how_about_no {}; int main() { fmt::print("{}", how_about_no()); } Error (`godbolt `__): ``fmt/core.h:1438:3: error: static_assert failed due to requirement 'fmt::v7::formattable()' "Cannot format an argument. To make type T formattable provide a formatter specialization: https://fmt.dev/latest/api.html#udt" ...`` * Added the `make_args_checked `_ function template that allows you to write formatting functions with compile-time format string checks and avoid binary code bloat (`godbolt `__): .. code:: c++ void vlog(const char* file, int line, fmt::string_view format, fmt::format_args args) { fmt::print("{}: {}: ", file, line); fmt::vprint(format, args); } template void log(const char* file, int line, const S& format, Args&&... args) { vlog(file, line, format, fmt::make_args_checked(format, args...)); } #define MY_LOG(format, ...) \ log(__FILE__, __LINE__, FMT_STRING(format), __VA_ARGS__) MY_LOG("invalid squishiness: {}", 42); * Replaced ``snprintf`` fallback with a faster internal IEEE 754 ``float`` and ``double`` formatter for arbitrary precision. For example (`godbolt `__): .. code:: c++ #include int main() { fmt::print("{:.500}\n", 4.9406564584124654E-324); } prints ``4.9406564584124654417656879286822137236505980261432476442558568250067550727020875186529983636163599237979656469544571773092665671035593979639877479601078187812630071319031140452784581716784898210368871863605699873072305000638740915356498438731247339727316961514003171538539807412623856559117102665855668676818703956031062493194527159149245532930545654440112748012970999954193198940908041656332452475714786901472678015935523861155013480352649347201937902681071074917033322268447533357208324319360923829e-324``. * Made ``format_to_n`` and ``formatted_size`` part of the `core API `__ (`godbolt `__): .. code:: c++ #include int main() { char buffer[10]; auto result = fmt::format_to_n(buffer, sizeof(buffer), "{}", 42); } * Added ``fmt::format_to_n`` overload with format string compilation (`#1764 `_, `#1767 `_, `#1869 `_). For example (`godbolt `__): .. code:: c++ #include int main() { char buffer[8]; fmt::format_to_n(buffer, sizeof(buffer), FMT_COMPILE("{}"), 42); } Thanks `@Kurkin (Dmitry Kurkin) `_, `@alexezeder (Alexey Ochapov) `_. * Added ``fmt::format_to`` overload that take ``text_style`` (`#1593 `_, `#1842 `_, `#1843 `_). For example (`godbolt `__): .. code:: c++ #include int main() { std::string out; fmt::format_to(std::back_inserter(out), fmt::emphasis::bold | fg(fmt::color::red), "The answer is {}.", 42); } Thanks `@Naios (Denis Blank) `_. * Made the ``'#'`` specifier emit trailing zeros in addition to the decimal point (`#1797 `_). For example (`godbolt `__): .. code:: c++ #include int main() { fmt::print("{:#.2g}", 0.5); } prints ``0.50``. * Changed the default floating point format to not include ``.0`` for consistency with ``std::format`` and ``std::to_chars`` (`#1893 `_, `#1943 `_). It is possible to get the decimal point and trailing zero with the ``#`` specifier. * Fixed an issue with floating-point formatting that could result in addition of a non-significant trailing zero in rare cases e.g. ``1.00e-34`` instead of ``1.0e-34`` (`#1873 `_, `#1917 `_). * Made ``fmt::to_string`` fallback on ``ostream`` insertion operator if the ``formatter`` specialization is not provided (`#1815 `_, `#1829 `_). Thanks `@alexezeder (Alexey Ochapov) `_. * Added support for the append mode to the experimental file API and improved ``fcntl.h`` detection. (`#1847 `_, `#1848 `_). Thanks `@t-wiser `_. * Fixed handling of types that have both an implicit conversion operator and an overloaded ``ostream`` insertion operator (`#1766 `_). * Fixed a slicing issue in an internal iterator type (`#1822 `_). Thanks `@BRevzin (Barry Revzin) `_. * Fixed an issue in locale-specific integer formatting (`#1927 `_). * Fixed handling of exotic code unit types (`#1870 `_, `#1932 `_). * Improved ``FMT_ALWAYS_INLINE`` (`#1878 `_). Thanks `@jk-jeon (Junekey Jeon) `_. * Removed dependency on ``windows.h`` (`#1900 `_). Thanks `@bernd5 (Bernd Baumanns) `_. * Optimized counting of decimal digits on MSVC (`#1890 `_). Thanks `@mwinterb `_. * Improved documentation (`#1772 `_, `#1775 `_, `#1792 `_, `#1838 `_, `#1888 `_, `#1918 `_, `#1939 `_). Thanks `@leolchat (Léonard Gérard) `_, `@pepsiman (Malcolm Parsons) `_, `@Klaim (Joël Lamotte) `_, `@ravijanjam (Ravi J) `_, `@francesco-st `_, `@udnaan (Adnan) `_. * Added the ``FMT_REDUCE_INT_INSTANTIATIONS`` CMake option that reduces the binary code size at the cost of some integer formatting performance. This can be useful for extremely memory-constrained embedded systems (`#1778 `_, `#1781 `_). Thanks `@kammce (Khalil Estell) `_. * Added the ``FMT_USE_INLINE_NAMESPACES`` macro to control usage of inline namespaces (`#1945 `_). Thanks `@darklukee `_. * Improved build configuration (`#1760 `_, `#1770 `_, `#1779 `_, `#1783 `_, `#1823 `_). Thanks `@dvetutnev (Dmitriy Vetutnev) `_, `@xvitaly (Vitaly Zaitsev) `_, `@tambry (Raul Tambre) `_, `@medithe `_, `@martinwuehrer (Martin Wührer) `_. * Fixed various warnings and compilation issues (`#1790 `_, `#1802 `_, `#1808 `_, `#1810 `_, `#1811 `_, `#1812 `_, `#1814 `_, `#1816 `_, `#1817 `_, `#1818 `_, `#1825 `_, `#1836 `_, `#1855 `_, `#1856 `_, `#1860 `_, `#1877 `_, `#1879 `_, `#1880 `_, `#1896 `_, `#1897 `_, `#1898 `_, `#1904 `_, `#1908 `_, `#1911 `_, `#1912 `_, `#1928 `_, `#1929 `_, `#1935 `_, `#1937 `_, `#1942 `_, `#1949 `_).

Thanks `@Kingcom `_. * Fixed issues in locale-specific integer formatting (`#1782 `_, `#1801 `_). 7.0.2 - 2020-07-29 ------------------ * Worked around broken ``numeric_limits`` for 128-bit integers (`#1725 `_). * Fixed compatibility with CMake 3.4 (`#1779 `_). * Fixed handling of digit separators in locale-specific formatting (`#1782 `_). 7.0.1 - 2020-07-07 ------------------ * Updated the inline version namespace name. * Worked around a gcc bug in mangling of alias templates (`#1753 `_). * Fixed a linkage error on Windows (`#1757 `_). Thanks `@Kurkin (Dmitry Kurkin) `_. * Fixed minor issues with the documentation. 7.0.0 - 2020-07-05 ------------------ * Reduced the library size. For example, on macOS a stripped test binary statically linked with {fmt} `shrank from ~368k to less than 100k `_. * Added a simpler and more efficient `format string compilation API `_: .. code:: c++ #include // Converts 42 into std::string using the most efficient method and no // runtime format string processing. std::string s = fmt::format(FMT_COMPILE("{}"), 42); The old ``fmt::compile`` API is now deprecated. * Optimized integer formatting: ``format_to`` with format string compilation and a stack-allocated buffer is now `faster than to_chars on both libc++ and libstdc++ `_. * Optimized handling of small format strings. For example, .. code:: c++ fmt::format("Result: {}: ({},{},{},{})", str1, str2, str3, str4, str5) is now ~40% faster (`#1685 `_). * Applied extern templates to improve compile times when using the core API and ``fmt/format.h`` (`#1452 `_). For example, on macOS with clang the compile time of a test translation unit dropped from 2.3s to 0.3s with ``-O2`` and from 0.6s to 0.3s with the default settings (``-O0``). Before (``-O2``):: % time c++ -c test.cc -I include -std=c++17 -O2 c++ -c test.cc -I include -std=c++17 -O2 2.22s user 0.08s system 99% cpu 2.311 total After (``-O2``):: % time c++ -c test.cc -I include -std=c++17 -O2 c++ -c test.cc -I include -std=c++17 -O2 0.26s user 0.04s system 98% cpu 0.303 total Before (default):: % time c++ -c test.cc -I include -std=c++17 c++ -c test.cc -I include -std=c++17 0.53s user 0.06s system 98% cpu 0.601 total After (default):: % time c++ -c test.cc -I include -std=c++17 c++ -c test.cc -I include -std=c++17 0.24s user 0.06s system 98% cpu 0.301 total It is still recommended to use ``fmt/core.h`` instead of ``fmt/format.h`` but the compile time difference is now smaller. Thanks `@alex3d `_ for the suggestion. * Named arguments are now stored on stack (no dynamic memory allocations) and the compiled code is more compact and efficient. For example .. code:: c++ #include int main() { fmt::print("The answer is {answer}\n", fmt::arg("answer", 42)); } compiles to just (`godbolt `__) .. code:: asm .LC0: .string "answer" .LC1: .string "The answer is {answer}\n" main: sub rsp, 56 mov edi, OFFSET FLAT:.LC1 mov esi, 23 movabs rdx, 4611686018427387905 lea rax, [rsp+32] lea rcx, [rsp+16] mov QWORD PTR [rsp+8], 1 mov QWORD PTR [rsp], rax mov DWORD PTR [rsp+16], 42 mov QWORD PTR [rsp+32], OFFSET FLAT:.LC0 mov DWORD PTR [rsp+40], 0 call fmt::v6::vprint(fmt::v6::basic_string_view, fmt::v6::format_args) xor eax, eax add rsp, 56 ret .L.str.1: .asciz "answer" * Implemented compile-time checks for dynamic width and precision (`#1614 `_): .. code:: c++ #include int main() { fmt::print(FMT_STRING("{0:{1}}"), 42); } now gives a compilation error because argument 1 doesn't exist:: In file included from test.cc:1: include/fmt/format.h:2726:27: error: constexpr variable 'invalid_format' must be initialized by a constant expression FMT_CONSTEXPR_DECL bool invalid_format = ^ ... include/fmt/core.h:569:26: note: in call to '&checker(s, {}).context_->on_error(&"argument not found"[0])' if (id >= num_args_) on_error("argument not found"); ^ * Added sentinel support to ``fmt::join`` (`#1689 `_) .. code:: c++ struct zstring_sentinel {}; bool operator==(const char* p, zstring_sentinel) { return *p == '\0'; } bool operator!=(const char* p, zstring_sentinel) { return *p != '\0'; } struct zstring { const char* p; const char* begin() const { return p; } zstring_sentinel end() const { return {}; } }; auto s = fmt::format("{}", fmt::join(zstring{"hello"}, "_")); // s == "h_e_l_l_o" Thanks `@BRevzin (Barry Revzin) `_. * Added support for named arguments, ``clear`` and ``reserve`` to ``dynamic_format_arg_store`` (`#1655 `_, `#1663 `_, `#1674 `_, `#1677 `_). Thanks `@vsolontsov-ll (Vladimir Solontsov) `_. * Added support for the ``'c'`` format specifier to integral types for compatibility with ``std::format`` (`#1652 `_). * Replaced the ``'n'`` format specifier with ``'L'`` for compatibility with ``std::format`` (`#1624 `_). The ``'n'`` specifier can be enabled via the ``FMT_DEPRECATED_N_SPECIFIER`` macro. * The ``'='`` format specifier is now disabled by default for compatibility with ``std::format``. It can be enabled via the ``FMT_DEPRECATED_NUMERIC_ALIGN`` macro. * Removed the following deprecated APIs: * ``FMT_STRING_ALIAS`` and ``fmt`` macros - replaced by ``FMT_STRING`` * ``fmt::basic_string_view::char_type`` - replaced by ``fmt::basic_string_view::value_type`` * ``convert_to_int`` * ``format_arg_store::types`` * ``*parse_context`` - replaced by ``*format_parse_context`` * ``FMT_DEPRECATED_INCLUDE_OS`` * ``FMT_DEPRECATED_PERCENT`` - incompatible with ``std::format`` * ``*writer`` - replaced by compiled format API * Renamed the ``internal`` namespace to ``detail`` (`#1538 `_). The former is still provided as an alias if the ``FMT_USE_INTERNAL`` macro is defined. * Improved compatibility between ``fmt::printf`` with the standard specs (`#1595 `_, `#1682 `_, `#1683 `_, `#1687 `_, `#1699 `_). Thanks `@rimathia `_. * Fixed handling of ``operator<<`` overloads that use ``copyfmt`` (`#1666 `_). * Added the ``FMT_OS`` CMake option to control inclusion of OS-specific APIs in the fmt target. This can be useful for embedded platforms (`#1654 `_, `#1656 `_). Thanks `@kwesolowski (Krzysztof Wesolowski) `_. * Replaced ``FUZZING_BUILD_MODE_UNSAFE_FOR_PRODUCTION`` with the ``FMT_FUZZ`` macro to prevent interfering with fuzzing of projects using {fmt} (`#1650 `_). Thanks `@asraa (Asra Ali) `_. * Fixed compatibility with emscripten (`#1636 `_, `#1637 `_). Thanks `@ArthurSonzogni (Arthur Sonzogni) `_. * Improved documentation (`#704 `_, `#1643 `_, `#1660 `_, `#1681 `_, `#1691 `_, `#1706 `_, `#1714 `_, `#1721 `_, `#1739 `_, `#1740 `_, `#1741 `_, `#1751 `_).

The ``'n'`` specifier is now deprecated and will be removed in the next major release. * Moved OS-specific APIs such as ``windows_error`` from ``fmt/format.h`` to ``fmt/os.h``. You can define ``FMT_DEPRECATED_INCLUDE_OS`` to automatically include ``fmt/os.h`` from ``fmt/format.h`` for compatibility but this will be disabled in the next major release. * Added precision overflow detection in floating-point formatting. * Implemented detection of invalid use of ``fmt::arg``. * Used ``type_identity`` to block unnecessary template argument deduction.

In particular this improves the default (shortest) representation of floats and makes ``fmt::format`` consistent with ``std::format`` specs (`#1336 `_, `#1353 `_, `#1360 `_, `#1361 `_): .. code:: c++ fmt::print("{}", 0.1f); prints ``0.1`` instead of ``0.10000000149011612``. Thanks `@orivej (Orivej Desh) `_. * Made floating-point formatting output consistent with ``printf``/iostreams (`#1376 `_, `#1417 `_). * Added support for 128-bit integers (`#1287 `_): .. code:: c++ fmt::print("{}", std::numeric_limits<__int128_t>::max()); prints ``170141183460469231731687303715884105727``. Thanks `@denizevrenci (Deniz Evrenci) `_. * The overload of ``print`` that takes ``text_style`` is now atomic, i.e. the output from different threads doesn't interleave (`#1351 `_). Thanks `@tankiJong (Tanki Zhang) `_. * Made compile time in the header-only mode ~20% faster by reducing the number of template instantiations. ``wchar_t`` overload of ``vprint`` was moved from ``fmt/core.h`` to ``fmt/format.h``. * Added an overload of ``fmt::join`` that works with tuples (`#1322 `_, `#1330 `_): .. code:: c++ #include #include int main() { std::tuple t{'a', 1, 2.0f}; fmt::print("{}", t); } prints ``('a', 1, 2.0)``. Thanks `@jeremyong (Jeremy Ong) `_. * Changed formatting of octal zero with prefix from "00" to "0": .. code:: c++ fmt::print("{:#o}", 0); prints ``0``. * The locale is now passed to ostream insertion (``<<``) operators (`#1406 `_): .. code:: c++ #include #include struct S { double value; }; std::ostream& operator<<(std::ostream& os, S s) { return os << s.value; } int main() { auto s = fmt::format(std::locale("fr_FR.UTF-8"), "{}", S{0.42}); // s == "0,42" } Thanks `@dlaugt (Daniel Laügt) `_. * Locale-specific number formatting now uses grouping (`#1393 `_ `#1394 `_). Thanks `@skrdaniel `_. * Fixed handling of types with deleted implicit rvalue conversion to ``const char**`` (`#1421 `_): .. code:: c++ struct mystring { operator const char*() const&; operator const char*() &; operator const char*() const&& = delete; operator const char*() && = delete; }; mystring str; fmt::print("{}", str); // now compiles * Enums are now mapped to correct underlying types instead of ``int`` (`#1286 `_). Thanks `@agmt (Egor Seredin) `_. * Enum classes are no longer implicitly converted to ``int`` (`#1424 `_). * Added ``basic_format_parse_context`` for consistency with C++20 ``std::format`` and deprecated ``basic_parse_context``. * Fixed handling of UTF-8 in precision (`#1389 `_, `#1390 `_). Thanks `@tajtiattila (Attila Tajti) `_. * {fmt} can now be installed on Linux, macOS and Windows with `Conda `__ using its `conda-forge `__ `package `__ (`#1410 `_):: conda install -c conda-forge fmt Thanks `@tdegeus (Tom de Geus) `_. * Added a CUDA test (`#1285 `_, `#1317 `_). Thanks `@luncliff (Park DongHa) `_ and `@risa2000 `_. * Improved documentation (`#1276 `_, `#1291 `_, `#1296 `_, `#1315 `_, `#1332 `_, `#1337 `_, `#1395 `_ `#1418 `_). Thanks `@waywardmonkeys (Bruce Mitchener) `_, `@pauldreik (Paul Dreik) `_, `@jackoalan (Jack Andersen) `_. * Various code improvements (`#1358 `_, `#1407 `_). Thanks `@orivej (Orivej Desh) `_, `@dpacbach (David P. Sicilia) `_, * Fixed compile-time format string checks for user-defined types (`#1292 `_). * Worked around a false positive in ``unsigned-integer-overflow`` sanitizer (`#1377 `_). * Fixed various warnings and compilation issues (`#1273 `_, `#1278 `_, `#1280 `_, `#1281 `_, `#1288 `_, `#1290 `_, `#1301 `_, `#1305 `_, `#1306 `_, `#1309 `_, `#1312 `_, `#1313 `_, `#1316 `_, `#1319 `_, `#1320 `_, `#1326 `_, `#1328 `_, `#1344 `_, `#1345 `_, `#1347 `_, `#1349 `_, `#1354 `_, `#1362 `_, `#1366 `_, `#1364 `_, `#1370 `_, `#1371 `_, `#1385 `_, `#1388 `_, `#1397 `_, `#1414 `_, `#1416 `_, `#1422 `_ `#1427 `_, `#1431 `_, `#1433 `_).

For locale-specific formatting use the ``n`` specifier: .. code:: c++ std::locale::global(std::locale("ru_RU.UTF-8")); fmt::print("value = {:n}", 4.2); prints "value = 4,2". * Added an experimental Grisu floating-point formatting algorithm implementation (disabled by default). To enable it compile with the ``FMT_USE_GRISU`` macro defined to 1: .. code:: c++ #define FMT_USE_GRISU 1 #include auto s = fmt::format("{}", 4.2); // formats 4.2 using Grisu With Grisu enabled, {fmt} is 13x faster than ``std::ostringstream`` (libc++) and 10x faster than ``sprintf`` on `dtoa-benchmark `_ (`full results `_): .. image:: https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/576385/ 54883977-9fe8c000-4e28-11e9-8bde-272d122e7c52.jpg * Separated formatting and parsing contexts for consistency with `C++20 std::format `_, removing the undocumented ``basic_format_context::parse_context()`` function. * Added `oss-fuzz `_ support (`#1199 `_). Thanks `@pauldreik (Paul Dreik) `_. * ``formatter`` specializations now always take precedence over ``operator<<`` (`#952 `_): .. code:: c++ #include #include struct S {}; std::ostream& operator<<(std::ostream& os, S) { return os << 1; } template <> struct fmt::formatter : fmt::formatter { auto format(S, format_context& ctx) { return formatter::format(2, ctx); } }; int main() { std::cout << S() << "\n"; // prints 1 using operator<< fmt::print("{}\n", S()); // prints 2 using formatter } * Introduced the experimental ``fmt::compile`` function that does format string compilation (`#618 `_, `#1169 `_, `#1171 `_): .. code:: c++ #include auto f = fmt::compile("{}"); std::string s = fmt::format(f, 42); // can be called multiple times to // format different values // s == "42" It moves the cost of parsing a format string outside of the format function which can be beneficial when identically formatting many objects of the same types. Thanks `@stryku (Mateusz Janek) `_. * Added experimental ``%`` format specifier that formats floating-point values as percentages (`#1060 `_, `#1069 `_, `#1071 `_): .. code:: c++ auto s = fmt::format("{:.1%}", 0.42); // s == "42.0%" Thanks `@gawain-bolton (Gawain Bolton) `_. * Implemented precision for floating-point durations (`#1004 `_, `#1012 `_): .. code:: c++ auto s = fmt::format("{:.1}", std::chrono::duration(1.234)); // s == 1.2s Thanks `@DanielaE (Daniela Engert) `_. * Implemented ``chrono`` format specifiers ``%Q`` and ``%q`` that give the value and the unit respectively (`#1019 `_): .. code:: c++ auto value = fmt::format("{:%Q}", 42s); // value == "42" auto unit = fmt::format("{:%q}", 42s); // unit == "s" Thanks `@DanielaE (Daniela Engert) `_. * Fixed handling of dynamic width in chrono formatter: .. code:: c++ auto s = fmt::format("{0:{1}%H:%M:%S}", std::chrono::seconds(12345), 12); // ^ width argument index ^ width // s == "03:25:45 " Thanks Howard Hinnant. * Removed deprecated ``fmt/time.h``. Use ``fmt/chrono.h`` instead. * Added ``fmt::format`` and ``fmt::vformat`` overloads that take ``text_style`` (`#993 `_, `#994 `_): .. code:: c++ #include std::string message = fmt::format(fmt::emphasis::bold | fg(fmt::color::red), "The answer is {}.", 42); Thanks `@Naios (Denis Blank) `_. * Removed the deprecated color API (``print_colored``). Use the new API, namely ``print`` overloads that take ``text_style`` instead. * Made ``std::unique_ptr`` and ``std::shared_ptr`` formattable as pointers via ``fmt::ptr`` (`#1121 `_): .. code:: c++ std::unique_ptr p = ...; fmt::print("{}", fmt::ptr(p)); // prints p as a pointer Thanks `@sighingnow (Tao He) `_. * Made ``print`` and ``vprint`` report I/O errors (`#1098 `_, `#1099 `_). Thanks `@BillyDonahue (Billy Donahue) `_. * Marked deprecated APIs with the ``[[deprecated]]`` attribute and removed internal uses of deprecated APIs (`#1022 `_). Thanks `@eliaskosunen (Elias Kosunen) `_. * Modernized the codebase using more C++11 features and removing workarounds. Most importantly, ``buffer_context`` is now an alias template, so use ``buffer_context`` instead of ``buffer_context::type``. These features require GCC 4.8 or later. * ``formatter`` specializations now always take precedence over implicit conversions to ``int`` and the undocumented ``convert_to_int`` trait is now deprecated. * Moved the undocumented ``basic_writer``, ``writer``, and ``wwriter`` types to the ``internal`` namespace. * Removed deprecated ``basic_format_context::begin()``. Use ``out()`` instead. * Disallowed passing the result of ``join`` as an lvalue to prevent misuse. * Refactored the undocumented structs that represent parsed format specifiers to simplify the API and allow multibyte fill. * Moved SFINAE to template parameters to reduce symbol sizes. * Switched to ``fputws`` for writing wide strings so that it's no longer required to call ``_setmode`` on Windows (`#1229 `_, `#1243 `_). Thanks `@jackoalan (Jack Andersen) `_. * Improved literal-based API (`#1254 `_). Thanks `@sylveon (Charles Milette) `_. * Added support for exotic platforms without ``uintptr_t`` such as IBM i (AS/400) which has 128-bit pointers and only 64-bit integers (`#1059 `_). * Added `Sublime Text syntax highlighting config `_ (`#1037 `_). Thanks `@Kronuz (Germán Méndez Bravo) `_. * Added the ``FMT_ENFORCE_COMPILE_STRING`` macro to enforce the use of compile-time format strings (`#1231 `_). Thanks `@jackoalan (Jack Andersen) `_. * Stopped setting ``CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE`` if {fmt} is a subproject (`#1081 `_). * Various build improvements (`#1039 `_, `#1078 `_, `#1091 `_, `#1103 `_, `#1177 `_).

Thanks `@abolz (Alexander Bolz) `_. * Fixed handling of output iterators in ``formatter`` specialization for ranges (`#1064 `_). * Fixed handling of exotic character types (`#1188 `_). * Made chrono formatting work with exceptions disabled (`#1062 `_). * Fixed DLL visibility issues (`#1134 `_, `#1147 `_). Thanks `@denchat `_. * Disabled the use of UDL template extension on GCC 9 (`#1148 `_). * Removed misplaced ``format`` compile-time checks from ``printf`` (`#1173 `_). * Fixed issues in the experimental floating-point formatter (`#1072 `_, `#1129 `_, `#1153 `_, `#1155 `_, `#1210 `_, `#1222 `_). Thanks `@alabuzhev (Alex Alabuzhev) `_. * Fixed bugs discovered by fuzzing or during fuzzing integration (`#1124 `_, `#1127 `_, `#1132 `_, `#1135 `_, `#1136 `_, `#1141 `_, `#1142 `_, `#1178 `_, `#1179 `_, `#1194 `_).

For example, version 5.2 is 2.22x faster than 5.1 on decimal integer formatting with ``format_to`` (macOS, clang-902.0.39.2): ================== ======= ======= Method Time, s Speedup ================== ======= ======= fmt::format 5.1 0.58 fmt::format 5.2 0.35 1.66x fmt::format_to 5.1 0.51 fmt::format_to 5.2 0.23 2.22x sprintf 0.71 std::to_string 1.01 std::stringstream 1.73 ================== ======= ======= * Changed the ``fmt`` macro from opt-out to opt-in to prevent name collisions. To enable it define the ``FMT_STRING_ALIAS`` macro to 1 before including ``fmt/format.h``: .. code:: c++ #define FMT_STRING_ALIAS 1 #include std::string answer = format(fmt("{}"), 42); * Added compile-time format string checks to ``format_to`` overload that takes ``fmt::memory_buffer`` (`#783 `_): .. code:: c++ fmt::memory_buffer buf; // Compile-time error: invalid type specifier. fmt::format_to(buf, fmt("{:d}"), "foo"); * Moved experimental color support to ``fmt/color.h`` and enabled the new API by default. The old API can be enabled by defining the ``FMT_DEPRECATED_COLORS`` macro. * Added formatting support for types explicitly convertible to ``fmt::string_view``: .. code:: c++ struct foo { explicit operator fmt::string_view() const { return "foo"; } }; auto s = format("{}", foo()); In particular, this makes formatting function work with ``folly::StringPiece``. * Implemented preliminary support for ``char*_t`` by replacing the ``format`` function overloads with a single function template parameterized on the string type. * Added support for dynamic argument lists (`#814 `_, `#819 `_). Thanks `@MikePopoloski (Michael Popoloski) `_. * Reduced executable size overhead for embedded targets using newlib nano by making locale dependency optional (`#839 `_).

Thanks `@henryiii (Henry Schreiner) `_, `@medithe `_, and `@eliasdaler (Elias Daler) `_. 5.1.0 - 2018-07-05 ------------------ * Added experimental support for RGB color output enabled with the ``FMT_EXTENDED_COLORS`` macro: .. code:: c++ #define FMT_EXTENDED_COLORS #define FMT_HEADER_ONLY // or compile fmt with FMT_EXTENDED_COLORS defined #include fmt::print(fmt::color::steel_blue, "Some beautiful text"); The old API (the ``print_colored`` and ``vprint_colored`` functions and the ``color`` enum) is now deprecated. (`#762 `_ `#767 `_). thanks `@Remotion (Remo) `_. * Added quotes to strings in ranges and tuples (`#766 `_). Thanks `@Remotion (Remo) `_. * Made ``format_to`` work with ``basic_memory_buffer`` (`#776 `_). * Added ``vformat_to_n`` and ``wchar_t`` overload of ``format_to_n`` (`#764 `_, `#769 `_). * Made ``is_range`` and ``is_tuple_like`` part of public (experimental) API to allow specialization for user-defined types (`#751 `_, `#759 `_). Thanks `@drrlvn (Dror Levin) `_. * Added more compilers to continuous integration and increased ``FMT_PEDANTIC`` warning levels (`#736 `_). Thanks `@eliaskosunen (Elias Kosunen) `_. * Fixed compilation with MSVC 2013. * Fixed handling of user-defined types in ``format_to`` (`#793 `_). * Forced linking of inline ``vformat`` functions into the library (`#795 `_). * Fixed incorrect call to on_align in ``'{:}='`` (`#750 `_). * Fixed floating-point formatting to a non-back_insert_iterator with sign & numeric alignment specified (`#756 `_). * Fixed formatting to an array with ``format_to_n`` (`#778 `_). * Fixed formatting of more than 15 named arguments (`#754 `_). * Fixed handling of compile-time strings when including ``fmt/ostream.h``. (`#768 `_). * Fixed various compiler warnings and errors (`#742 `_, `#748 `_, `#752 `_, `#770 `_, `#775 `_, `#779 `_, `#780 `_, `#790 `_, `#792 `_, `#800 `_). Thanks `@Remotion (Remo) `_, `@gabime (Gabi Melman) `_, `@foonathan (Jonathan Müller) `_, `@Dark-Passenger (Dhruv Paranjape) `_, and `@0x8000-0000 (Sign Bit) `_. 5.0.0 - 2018-05-21 ------------------ * Added a requirement for partial C++11 support, most importantly variadic templates and type traits, and dropped ``FMT_VARIADIC_*`` emulation macros. Variadic templates are available since GCC 4.4, Clang 2.9 and MSVC 18.0 (2013). For older compilers use {fmt} `version 4.x `_ which continues to be maintained and works with C++98 compilers. * Renamed symbols to follow standard C++ naming conventions and proposed a subset of the library for standardization in `P0645R2 Text Formatting `_. * Implemented ``constexpr`` parsing of format strings and `compile-time format string checks `_. For example .. code:: c++ #include std::string s = format(fmt("{:d}"), "foo"); gives a compile-time error because ``d`` is an invalid specifier for strings (`godbolt `__):: ... :4:19: note: in instantiation of function template specialization 'fmt::v5::format' requested here std::string s = format(fmt("{:d}"), "foo"); ^ format.h:1337:13: note: non-constexpr function 'on_error' cannot be used in a constant expression handler.on_error("invalid type specifier"); Compile-time checks require relaxed ``constexpr`` (C++14 feature) support. If the latter is not available, checks will be performed at runtime. * Separated format string parsing and formatting in the extension API to enable compile-time format string processing. For example .. code:: c++ struct Answer {}; namespace fmt { template <> struct formatter { constexpr auto parse(parse_context& ctx) { auto it = ctx.begin(); spec = *it; if (spec != 'd' && spec != 's') throw format_error("invalid specifier"); return ++it; } template auto format(Answer, FormatContext& ctx) { return spec == 's' ? format_to(ctx.begin(), "{}", "fourty-two") : format_to(ctx.begin(), "{}", 42); } char spec = 0; }; } std::string s = format(fmt("{:x}"), Answer()); gives a compile-time error due to invalid format specifier (`godbolt `__):: ... :12:45: error: expression '' is not a constant expression throw format_error("invalid specifier"); * Added `iterator support `_: .. code:: c++ #include #include std::vector out; fmt::format_to(std::back_inserter(out), "{}", 42); * Added the `format_to_n `_ function that restricts the output to the specified number of characters (`#298 `_): .. code:: c++ char out[4]; fmt::format_to_n(out, sizeof(out), "{}", 12345); // out == "1234" (without terminating '\0') * Added the `formatted_size `_ function for computing the output size: .. code:: c++ #include auto size = fmt::formatted_size("{}", 12345); // size == 5 * Improved compile times by reducing dependencies on standard headers and providing a lightweight `core API `_: .. code:: c++ #include fmt::print("The answer is {}.", 42); See `Compile time and code bloat `_. * Added the `make_format_args `_ function for capturing formatting arguments: .. code:: c++ // Prints formatted error message. void vreport_error(const char *format, fmt::format_args args) { fmt::print("Error: "); fmt::vprint(format, args); } template void report_error(const char *format, const Args & ... args) { vreport_error(format, fmt::make_format_args(args...)); } * Added the ``make_printf_args`` function for capturing ``printf`` arguments (`#687 `_, `#694 `_). Thanks `@Kronuz (Germán Méndez Bravo) `_. * Added prefix ``v`` to non-variadic functions taking ``format_args`` to distinguish them from variadic ones: .. code:: c++ std::string vformat(string_view format_str, format_args args); template std::string format(string_view format_str, const Args & ... args); * Added experimental support for formatting ranges, containers and tuple-like types in ``fmt/ranges.h`` (`#735 `_): .. code:: c++ #include std::vector v = {1, 2, 3}; fmt::print("{}", v); // prints {1, 2, 3} Thanks `@Remotion (Remo) `_. * Implemented ``wchar_t`` date and time formatting (`#712 `_): .. code:: c++ #include std::time_t t = std::time(nullptr); auto s = fmt::format(L"The date is {:%Y-%m-%d}.", *std::localtime(&t)); Thanks `@DanielaE (Daniela Engert) `_. * Provided more wide string overloads (`#724 `_). Thanks `@DanielaE (Daniela Engert) `_. * Switched from a custom null-terminated string view class to ``string_view`` in the format API and provided ``fmt::string_view`` which implements a subset of ``std::string_view`` API for pre-C++17 systems. * Added support for ``std::experimental::string_view`` (`#607 `_): .. code:: c++ #include #include fmt::print("{}", std::experimental::string_view("foo")); Thanks `@virgiliofornazin (Virgilio Alexandre Fornazin) `__. * Allowed mixing named and automatic arguments: .. code:: c++ fmt::format("{} {two}", 1, fmt::arg("two", 2)); * Removed the write API in favor of the `format API `_ with compile-time handling of format strings. * Disallowed formatting of multibyte strings into a wide character target (`#606 `_). * Improved documentation (`#515 `_, `#614 `_, `#617 `_, `#661 `_, `#680 `_). Thanks `@ibell (Ian Bell) `_, `@mihaitodor (Mihai Todor) `_, and `@johnthagen `_. * Implemented more efficient handling of large number of format arguments. * Introduced an inline namespace for symbol versioning. * Added debug postfix ``d`` to the ``fmt`` library name (`#636 `_). * Removed unnecessary ``fmt/`` prefix in includes (`#397 `_). Thanks `@chronoxor (Ivan Shynkarenka) `_. * Moved ``fmt/*.h`` to ``include/fmt/*.h`` to prevent irrelevant files and directories appearing on the include search paths when fmt is used as a subproject and moved source files to the ``src`` directory. * Added qmake project file ``support/fmt.pro`` (`#641 `_). Thanks `@cowo78 (Giuseppe Corbelli) `_. * Added Gradle build file ``support/build.gradle`` (`#649 `_). Thanks `@luncliff (Park DongHa) `_. * Removed ``FMT_CPPFORMAT`` CMake option. * Fixed a name conflict with the macro ``CHAR_WIDTH`` in glibc (`#616 `_). Thanks `@aroig (Abdó Roig-Maranges) `_. * Fixed handling of nested braces in ``fmt::join`` (`#638 `_). * Added ``SOURCELINK_SUFFIX`` for compatibility with Sphinx 1.5 (`#497 `_). Thanks `@ginggs (Graham Inggs) `_. * Added a missing ``inline`` in the header-only mode (`#626 `_). Thanks `@aroig (Abdó Roig-Maranges) `_. * Fixed various compiler warnings (`#640 `_, `#656 `_, `#679 `_, `#681 `_, `#705 `__, `#715 `_, `#717 `_, `#720 `_, `#723 `_, `#726 `_, `#730 `_, `#739 `_).

This eliminates size computation for string literals on reasonable optimizing compilers. * Fix formatting of types with overloaded ``operator <<`` for ``std::wostream`` (`#86 `_): .. code:: c++ fmt::format(L"The date is {0}", Date(2012, 12, 9)); * Fix linkage of tests on Arch Linux (`#89 `_). * Allow precision specifier for non-float arguments (`#90 `_): .. code:: c++ fmt::print("{:.3}\n", "Carpet"); // prints "Car" * Fix build on Android NDK (`#93 `_) * Improvements to documentation build procedure. * Remove ``FMT_SHARED`` CMake variable in favor of standard `BUILD_SHARED_LIBS `_. * Fix error handling in ``fmt::fprintf``. * Fix a number of warnings. 0.12.0 - 2014-10-25 ------------------- * [Breaking] Improved separation between formatting and buffer management. ``Writer`` is now a base class that cannot be instantiated directly. The new ``MemoryWriter`` class implements the default buffer management with small allocations done on stack. So ``fmt::Writer`` should be replaced with ``fmt::MemoryWriter`` in variable declarations. Old code: .. code:: c++ fmt::Writer w; New code: .. code:: c++ fmt::MemoryWriter w; If you pass ``fmt::Writer`` by reference, you can continue to do so: .. code:: c++ void f(fmt::Writer &w); This doesn't affect the formatting API. * Support for custom memory allocators (`#69 `_) * Formatting functions now accept `signed char` and `unsigned char` strings as arguments (`#73 `_): .. code:: c++ auto s = format("GLSL version: {}", glGetString(GL_VERSION)); * Reduced code bloat. According to the new `benchmark results `_, cppformat is close to ``printf`` and by the order of magnitude better than Boost Format in terms of compiled code size. * Improved appearance of the documentation on mobile by using the `Sphinx Bootstrap theme `_: .. |old| image:: https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/576385/4792130/ cd256436-5de3-11e4-9a62-c077d0c2b003.png .. |new| image:: https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/576385/4792131/ cd29896c-5de3-11e4-8f59-cac952942bf0.png +-------+-------+ | Old | New | +-------+-------+ | |old| | |new| | +-------+-------+ 0.11.0 - 2014-08-21 ------------------- * Safe printf implementation with a POSIX extension for positional arguments: .. code:: c++ fmt::printf("Elapsed time: %.2f seconds", 1.23); fmt::printf("%1$s, %3$d %2$s", weekday, month, day); * Arguments of ``char`` type can now be formatted as integers (Issue `#55 `_): .. code:: c++ fmt::format("0x{0:02X}", 'a'); * Deprecated parts of the API removed. * The library is now built and tested on MinGW with Appveyor in addition to existing test platforms Linux/GCC, OS X/Clang, Windows/MSVC. 0.10.0 - 2014-07-01 ------------------- **Improved API** * All formatting methods are now implemented as variadic functions instead of using ``operator<<`` for feeding arbitrary arguments into a temporary formatter object. This works both with C++11 where variadic templates are used and with older standards where variadic functions are emulated by providing lightweight wrapper functions defined with the ``FMT_VARIADIC`` macro. You can use this macro for defining your own portable variadic functions: .. code:: c++ void report_error(const char *format, const fmt::ArgList &args) { fmt::print("Error: {}"); fmt::print(format, args); } FMT_VARIADIC(void, report_error, const char *) report_error("file not found: {}", path); Apart from a more natural syntax, this also improves performance as there is no need to construct temporary formatter objects and control arguments' lifetimes. Because the wrapper functions are very lightweight, this doesn't cause code bloat even in pre-C++11 mode. * Simplified common case of formatting an ``std::string``. Now it requires a single function call: .. code:: c++ std::string s = format("The answer is {}.", 42); Previously it required 2 function calls: .. code:: c++ std::string s = str(Format("The answer is {}.") << 42); Instead of unsafe ``c_str`` function, ``fmt::Writer`` should be used directly to bypass creation of ``std::string``: .. code:: c++ fmt::Writer w; w.write("The answer is {}.", 42); w.c_str(); // returns a C string This doesn't do dynamic memory allocation for small strings and is less error prone as the lifetime of the string is the same as for ``std::string::c_str`` which is well understood (hopefully). * Improved consistency in naming functions that are a part of the public API. Now all public functions are lowercase following the standard library conventions. Previously it was a combination of lowercase and CapitalizedWords. Issue `#50 `_. * Old functions are marked as deprecated and will be removed in the next release. **Other Changes** * Experimental support for printf format specifications (work in progress): .. code:: c++ fmt::printf("The answer is %d.", 42); std::string s = fmt::sprintf("Look, a %s!", "string"); * Support for hexadecimal floating point format specifiers ``a`` and ``A``: .. code:: c++ print("{:a}", -42.0); // Prints -0x1.5p+5 print("{:A}", -42.0); // Prints -0X1.5P+5 * CMake option ``FMT_SHARED`` that specifies whether to build format as a shared library (off by default). 0.9.0 - 2014-05-13 ------------------ * More efficient implementation of variadic formatting functions. * ``Writer::Format`` now has a variadic overload: .. code:: c++ Writer out; out.Format("Look, I'm {}!", "variadic"); * For efficiency and consistency with other overloads, variadic overload of the ``Format`` function now returns ``Writer`` instead of ``std::string``. Use the ``str`` function to convert it to ``std::string``: .. code:: c++ std::string s = str(Format("Look, I'm {}!", "variadic")); * Replaced formatter actions with output sinks: ``NoAction`` -> ``NullSink``, ``Write`` -> ``FileSink``, ``ColorWriter`` -> ``ANSITerminalSink``. This improves naming consistency and shouldn't affect client code unless these classes are used directly which should be rarely needed. * Added ``ThrowSystemError`` function that formats a message and throws ``SystemError`` containing the formatted message and system-specific error description. For example, the following code .. code:: c++ FILE *f = fopen(filename, "r"); if (!f) ThrowSystemError(errno, "Failed to open file '{}'") << filename; will throw ``SystemError`` exception with description "Failed to open file '': No such file or directory" if file doesn't exist. * Support for AppVeyor continuous integration platform. * ``Format`` now throws ``SystemError`` in case of I/O errors. * Improve test infrastructure. Print functions are now tested by redirecting the output to a pipe. 0.8.0 - 2014-04-14 ------------------ * Initial release
