5.0.0 - TBD

-----------
|

|
||||
* Added a requirement for compiler support for variadic templates 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 `version 4.x

* Added a requirement for partial C++11 support, most importantly variadic
|
||||
templates and type traits, and dropped ``FMT_VARIADIC_*`` emulation macros.

of the library for standardization in `P0645R2 Text Formatting

<https://wg21.link/P0645>`_.
|

* Swparated format string parsing and formatting in the extension API to enable
|

compile-time format-string processing. For example

* Implemented ``constexpr`` parsing of format strings.

If your compiler supports C++11, then the formatting functions are implemented

a set of lightweight wrappers. This ensures compatibility with older compilers
