### Breaking changes
Despite ryml being still in a non-stable 0.x.y version, considerable effort goes into trying to avoid breaking changes. However, this release has to collect on the [semantic versioning](https://semver.org/) prerogative for breaking changes. This is a needed improvement, so sorry for any nuisance!
**The allocation and error callback logic was revamped** on the [amalgamation PR](https://github.com/biojppm/rapidyaml/pull/172). Now trees and parsers receive (and store) a full `ryml::Callbacks` object instead of the (now removed) `ryml::Allocator` which had a pointer to a (now removed) `ryml::MemoryResourceCallbacks`, which was a (now removed) `ryml::MemoryResource`. To be clear, the `Callbacks` class is unchanged, other than removing some unneeded helper methods.
These changes were motivated by unfortunate name clashes between `c4::Allocator/ryml::Allocator` and `c4::MemoryResource/ryml::MemoryResource`, occurring if `<c4/allocator.hpp>` or `<c4/memory_resource.hpp>` were included before `<c4/yml/common.hpp>`. They also significantly simplify this part of the API, making it really easier to understand.
As a consequence of the above changes, the global memory resource getters and setters for ryml were also removed: `ryml::get_memory_resource()/ryml::set_memory_resource()`.
Here's an example of the required changes in client code. First the old client code (from the quickstart):
```c++
struct PerTreeMemoryExample : public ryml::MemoryResource
{
void *allocate(size_t len, void * hint) override;
void free(void *mem, size_t len) override;
};
PerTreeMemoryExample mrp;
PerTreeMemoryExample mr1;
PerTreeMemoryExample mr2;
ryml::Parser parser = {ryml::Allocator(&mrp)};
ryml::Tree tree1 = {ryml::Allocator(&mr1)};
ryml::Tree tree2 = {ryml::Allocator(&mr2)};
```
Should now be rewritten to:
```c++
struct PerTreeMemoryExample
{
ryml::Callbacks callbacks() const; // helper to create the callbacks
};
PerTreeMemoryExample mrp;
PerTreeMemoryExample mr1;
PerTreeMemoryExample mr2;
ryml::Parser parser = {mrp.callbacks()};
ryml::Tree tree1 = {mr1.callbacks()};
ryml::Tree tree2 = {mr2.callbacks()};
```
### New features
- Add amalgamation into a single header file ([PR #172](https://github.com/biojppm/rapidyaml/pull/172)):
- The amalgamated header will be available together with the deliverables from each release.
- To generate the amalgamated header:
```console
$ python tools/amalgamate.py ryml_all.hpp
```
- To use the amalgamated header:
- Include at will in any header of your project.
- In one - and only one - of your project source files, `#define RYML_SINGLE_HDR_DEFINE_NOW` and then `#include <ryml_all.hpp>`. This will enable the function and class definitions in the header file. For example, here's a sample program:
```c++
#include <iostream>
#define RYML_SINGLE_HDR_DEFINE_NOW // do this before the include
#include <ryml_all.hpp>
int main()
{
auto tree = ryml::parse("{foo: bar}");
std::cout << tree["foo"].val() << "\n";
}
```
- Add `Tree::change_type()` and `NodeRef::change_type()` ([PR #171](https://github.com/biojppm/rapidyaml/pull/171)):
```c++
// clears a node and sets its type to a different type (one of `VAL`, `SEQ`, `MAP`):
Tree t = parse("{keyval0: val0, keyval1: val1, keyval2: val2}");
t[0].change_type(VAL);
t[1].change_type(MAP);
t[2].change_type(SEQ);
Tree expected = parse("{keyval0: val0, keyval1: {}, keyval2: []}");
assert(emitrs<std::string>(t) == emitrs<std::string>(expected));
```
- Add support for compilation with emscripten (WebAssembly+javascript) ([PR #176](https://github.com/biojppm/rapidyaml/pull/176)).
### Fixes
- Take block literal indentation as relative to current indentation level, rather than as an absolute indentation level ([PR #178](https://github.com/biojppm/rapidyaml/pull/178)):
```yaml
foo:
- |
child0
- |2
child2 # indentation is 4, not 2
```
- Fix parsing when seq member maps start without a key ([PR #178](https://github.com/biojppm/rapidyaml/pull/178)):
```yaml
# previously this resulted in a parse error
- - : empty key
- - : another empty key
```
- Prefer passing `substr` and `csubstr` by value instead of const reference ([PR #171](https://github.com/biojppm/rapidyaml/pull/171))
- Fix [#173](https://github.com/biojppm/rapidyaml/issues/173): add alias target `ryml::ryml` ([PR #174](https://github.com/biojppm/rapidyaml/pull/174))
- Speedup compilation of tests by removing linking with yaml-cpp and libyaml. ([PR #177](https://github.com/biojppm/rapidyaml/pull/177))
- Fix [c4core#53](https://github.com/biojppm/c4core/issues/53): cmake install targets were missing call to `export()` ([PR #179](https://github.com/biojppm/c4core/pull/179)).
- Add missing export to `Tree` ([PR #181](https://github.com/biojppm/c4core/pull/181)).
