| |
| * Removed legacy cmake support and set min to 3.8 (#7801). |
| |
| ## [23.1.21 (Jan 21 2023)](https://github.com/google/flatbuffers/releases/tag/v23.1.20) |
| |
| * Reworked entry points for Typescript/Javascript and compatibility for single |

| |
| * Removed go.mod files after some versioning issues were being report (#7780). |
| |
| ## [23.1.4 (Jan 4 2023)](https://github.com/google/flatbuffers/releases/tag/v23.1.4) |
| |
| * Major release! Just kidding, we are continuing the |
| [versioning scheme](https://github.com/google/flatbuffers/wiki/Versioning) of |
| using a date to signify releases. This results in the first release of the new |
| year to bump the tradition major version field. |
| |
| * Go minimum version is now 1.19 (#7720) with the addition of Go modules. |
| |
| * Added CI support for Big Endian regression testing (#7707). |
| |
| * Fixed `getFullyQualifiedName` in typescript to return name delimited by '.' |
| instead of '_' (#7730). |
| |
| * Fixed the versioning scheme to not include leading zeros which are not |
| consistently handled by every package manager. Only the last release |
| (12.12.06) should have suffered from this. |
| |
| ## [22.12.06 (Dec 06 2022)](https://github.com/google/flatbuffers/releases/tag/v22.12.06) |
| |
| * Bug fixing release, no major changes. |
| |
| ## [22.10.25 (Oct 25 2022)](https://github.com/google/flatbuffers/releases/tag/v22.10.25) |
| |
| * Added Nim language support with generator and runtime libraries (#7534). |
| |
| ## [22.9.29 (Sept 29 2022)](https://github.com/google/flatbuffers/releases/tag/v22.9.29) |
| |
| * Rust soundness fixes to avoid the crate from bing labelled unsafe (#7518). |
| |
| ## [22.9.24 (Sept 24 2022)](https://github.com/google/flatbuffers/releases/tag/v22.9.24) |
| |
| * 20 Major releases in a row? Nope, we switched to a new |
| [versioning scheme](https://github.com/google/flatbuffers/wiki/Versioning) |
| that is based on date. |
| |
| * Python supports fixed size arrays now (#7529). |
| |
| * Behavior change in how C++ object API uses `UnPackTo`. The original intent of |
| this was to reduce allocations by reusing an existing object to pack data |
| into. At some point, this logic started to merge the states of the two objects |
| instead of clearing the state of the packee. This change goes back to the |
| original intention, the packed object is cleared when getting data packed into |
| it (#7527). |
| |
| * Fixed a bug in C++ alignment that was using `sizeof()` instead of the intended |
| `AlignOf()` for structs (#7520). |
| |
| * C# has an |
| [official Nuget package](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Google.FlatBuffers) |
| now (#7496). |
| |
| ## 2.0.8 (Aug 29 2022) |
| |
| * Fix for `--keep-prefix` the was generating the wrong include statements for |
| C++ (#7469). The bug was introduced in 2.0.7. |
| |
| * Added the `Verifier::Options` option struct to allow specifying runtime |
| configuration settings for the verifier (#7489). This allows to skip verifying |
| nested flatbuffers, a on-by-default change that was introduced in 2.0.7. This |
| deprecates the existing `Verifier` constructor, which may be removed in a |
| future version. |
| |
| * Refactor of `tests/test.cpp` that lead to ~10% speedup in compilation of the |
| entire project (#7487). |
| |
| ## 2.0.7 (Aug 22 2022) |
| |
| * This is the first version with an explicit change log, so all the previous |
| features will not be listed. |
| |
| * Verifier now checks that buffers are at least the minimum size required to be |
| a flatbuffers (12 bytes). This includes nested flatbuffers, which previously |
| could be declared valid at size 0. |
| |
| * Annotated binaries. Given a flatbuffer binary and a schema (or binary schema) |
| one can generate an annotated flatbuffer (.afb) to describe each byte in the |
| binary with schema metadata and value. |
| |
| * First binary schema generator (Lua) to generate Lua code via a .bfbs file. |
| This is mostly an implementation detail of flatc internals, but will be slowly |
| applied to the other language generators. |
