tpl ChangeLog

Added const to a number of API parameters and exposed tpl_map_va (thanks, Simon Dawson!)

Fixed a bug in the Windows version of tpl that prevented an application from serializing more than once to the same file- the file stayed locked until the application was closed. (thanks, Werner Krattenthaler!)

Fixed a documentation error to indicate that tpl_dump when used in the TPL_GETSIZE mode stores its result in a size_t rather than a uint32_t (thanks, M. Nunberge!)

Fixed a typo in the User Guide example of packing a linked link (thanks, Bryan Mishkin!)

tpl now builds as a DLL under Microsoft Visual Studio! (thanks, degski and Zhang Yafei!)

there are now two download options: the tarball and the Visual Studio solution

a crash in tpl_free on certain format strings has been fixed (thanks, Eric Rose!)

fixed a bug in tpl_dump on 64-bit, big-endian platforms

changed some pointer casts from long to uintptr_t since 64-bit Windows has 32-bit longs

tpl has been downloaded 4,195 times.

fixed-length arrays can now be multi-dimensional like i##

fixed-length string arrays like s# are now supported

nested structures can now be expressed, using the dollar symbol, e.g. S(ci$(cc))

tpl_dump can use a caller-allocated output buffer (TPL_MEM|TPL_PREALLOCD)

tpl_load can tolerate excess space in input buffer (TPL_MEM|TPL_EXCESS_OK)

implement TPL_FXLENS flag for tpl_peek to get lengths of fixed-length arrays

implement TPL_GETSIZE flag for tpl_dump to get dump size without dumping

fix success return code from tpl_dump(TPL_FD,...) (thanks, Max Lapan!)
