# 10.2.1 - 2024-01-03
- Fixed ABI compatibility with earlier 10.x versions
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3786). Thanks @saraedum.
# 10.2.0 - 2024-01-01
- Added support for the `%j` specifier (the number of days) for
`std::chrono::duration` (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/3643,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3732). Thanks @intelfx.
- Added support for the chrono suffix for days and changed
the suffix for minutes from "m" to the correct "min"
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/3662,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3664).
For example ([godbolt](https://godbolt.org/z/9KhMnq9ba)):
```c++
#include <fmt/chrono.h>
int main() {
fmt::print("{}\n", std::chrono::days(42)); // prints "42d"
}
```
Thanks @Richardk2n.
- Fixed an overflow in `std::chrono::time_point` formatting with large dates
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/3725,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3727). Thanks @cschreib.
- Added a formatter for `std::source_location`
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3730).
For example ([godbolt](https://godbolt.org/z/YajfKjhhr)):
```c++
#include <source_location>
#include <fmt/std.h>
int main() {
fmt::print("{}\n", std::source_location::current());
}
```
prints
```
/app/example.cpp:5:51: int main()
```
Thanks @felix642.
- Added a formatter for `std::bitset`
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3660).
For example ([godbolt](https://godbolt.org/z/bdEaGeYxe)):
```c++
#include <bitset>
#include <fmt/std.h>
int main() {
fmt::print("{}\n", std::bitset<6>(42)); // prints "101010"
}
```
Thanks @muggenhor.
- Added an experimental `nested_formatter` that provides an easy way of
applying a formatter to one or more subobjects while automatically handling
width, fill and alignment. For example:
```c++
#include <fmt/format.h>
struct point {
double x, y;
};
template <>
struct fmt::formatter<point> : nested_formatter<double> {
auto format(point p, format_context& ctx) const {
return write_padded(ctx, [=](auto out) {
return format_to(out, "({}, {})", nested(p.x), nested(p.y));
});
}
};
int main() {
fmt::print("[{:>20.2f}]", point{1, 2});
}
```
prints
```
[ (1.00, 2.00)]
```
- Added the generic representation (`g`) to `std::filesystem::path`
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/3715,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3729). For example:
```c++
#include <filesystem>
#include <fmt/std.h>
int main() {
fmt::print("{:g}\n", std::filesystem::path("C:\\foo"));
}
```
prints `"C:/foo"` on Windows.
Thanks @js324.
- Made `format_as` work with references
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3739). Thanks @tchaikov.
- Fixed formatting of invalid UTF-8 with precision
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/3284).
- Fixed an inconsistency between `fmt::to_string` and `fmt::format`
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/3684).
- Disallowed unsafe uses of `fmt::styled`
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/3625):
```c++
auto s = fmt::styled(std::string("dangle"), fmt::emphasis::bold);
fmt::print("{}\n", s); // compile error
```
Pass `fmt::styled(...)` as a parameter instead.
- Added a null check when formatting a C string with the `s` specifier
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/3706).
- Disallowed the `c` specifier for `bool`
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/3726,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3734). Thanks @js324.
- Made the default formatting unlocalized in `fmt::ostream_formatter` for
consistency with the rest of the library
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/3460).
- Fixed localized formatting in bases other than decimal
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/3693,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3750). Thanks @js324.
- Fixed a performance regression in experimental `fmt::ostream::print`
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/3674).
- Added synchronization with the underlying output stream when writing to
the Windows console
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3668,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/3688,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3689).
Thanks @Roman-Koshelev and @dimztimz.
- Changed to only export `format_error` when {fmt} is built as a shared
library (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/3626,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3627). Thanks @phprus.
- Made `fmt::streamed` `constexpr`.
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3650). Thanks @muggenhor.
- Enabled `consteval` on older versions of MSVC
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3757). Thanks @phprus.
- Added an option to build without `wchar_t` support on Windows
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/3631,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3636). Thanks @glebm.
- Improved build and CI configuration

# 10.0.0 - 2023-05-09
- Replaced Grisu with a new floating-point formatting algorithm for
given precision (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/3262,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2750,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3269,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3276). The new algorithm
is based on Dragonbox already used for the shortest representation
and gives substantial performance improvement:
![](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.
- Replaced `snprintf`-based hex float formatter with an internal
implementation (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3179,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3203). This removes the
last usage of `s(n)printf` in {fmt}. Thanks @phprus.
- Fixed alignment of floating-point numbers with localization
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/3263,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3272). Thanks @ShawnZhong.
- Made handling of `#` consistent with `std::format`.
- Improved C++20 module support
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3134,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3254,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3386,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3387,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3388,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3392,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3397,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3399,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3400).
Thanks @laitingsheng, @Orvid and @DanielaE.
- Switched to the [modules CMake library](https://github.com/vitaut/modules)
which allows building {fmt} as a C++20 module with clang:
CXX=clang++ cmake -DFMT_MODULE=ON .
make
- Made `format_as` work with any user-defined type and not just enums.
For example ([godbolt](https://godbolt.org/z/b7rqhq5Kh)):
```c++
#include <fmt/format.h>
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"
}
```
- Removed deprecated implicit conversions for enums and conversions to
primitive types for compatibility with `std::format` and to prevent
potential ODR violations. Use `format_as` instead.
- Added support for fill, align and width to the time point formatter
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/3237,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3260,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3275). For example
([godbolt](https://godbolt.org/z/rKP6MGz6c)):
```c++
#include <fmt/chrono.h>
int main() {
// prints " 2023"
fmt::print("{:>8%Y}\n", std::chrono::system_clock::now());
}
```
Thanks @ShawnZhong.
- Implemented formatting of subseconds
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2207,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/3117,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3115,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3143,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3144,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3349). For example
([godbolt](https://godbolt.org/z/45738oGEo)):
```c++
#include <fmt/chrono.h>
int main() {
// prints 01.234567
fmt::print("{:%S}\n", std::chrono::microseconds(1234567));
}
```
Thanks @patrickroocks @phprus and @BRevzin.
- Added precision support to `%S`
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3148). Thanks @SappyJoy
- Added support for `std::utc_time`
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/3098,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3110). Thanks @patrickroocks.
- Switched formatting of `std::chrono::system_clock` from local time
to UTC for compatibility with the standard
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/3199,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3230). Thanks @ned14.
- Added support for `%Ez` and `%Oz` to chrono formatters.
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/3220,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3222). Thanks @phprus.
- Improved validation of format specifiers for `std::chrono::duration`
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/3219,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3232). Thanks @ShawnZhong.
- Fixed formatting of time points before the epoch
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/3117,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3261). For example
([godbolt](https://godbolt.org/z/f7bcznb3W)):
```c++
#include <fmt/chrono.h>
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.
- Experimental: implemented glibc extension for padding seconds,
minutes and hours
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2959,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3271). Thanks @ShawnZhong.
- Added a formatter for `std::exception`
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2977,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/3012,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3062,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3076,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3119). For example
([godbolt](https://godbolt.org/z/8xoWGs9e4)):
```c++
#include <fmt/std.h>
#include <vector>
int main() {
try {
std::vector<bool>().at(0);
} catch(const std::exception& e) {
fmt::print("{}", e);
}
}
```
prints:
vector<bool>::_M_range_check: __n (which is 0) >= this->size() (which is 0)
on libstdc++. Thanks @zach2good and @phprus.

([godbolt](https://godbolt.org/z/74h1xY9qK)):
```c++
#include <fmt/ranges.h>
#include <stack>
#include <vector>
int main() {
auto s = std::stack<bool, std::vector<bool>>();

(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3026). For example
([godbolt](https://godbolt.org/z/1MW5rMdf8)):
```c++
#include <fmt/compile.h>
int main() {
using namespace fmt::literals;
constexpr size_t n = fmt::formatted_size("{}"_cf, 42);
fmt::print("{}\n", n); // prints 2
}
```
Thanks @marksantaniello.

# 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](https://godbolt.org/z/G37PTeG3b)):
```c++
#include <array>
#include <fmt/compile.h>
consteval auto compile_time_dtoa(double value) -> std::array<char, 10> {
auto result = std::array<char, 10>();
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](https://github.com/jk-jeon/dragonbox), the algorithm
used for the default floating-point formatting
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2713,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2750). Thanks @jk-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](https://godbolt.org/z/5sEc5qMsf)):
```c++
#include <fmt/ostream.h>
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<date> : 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](https://godbolt.org/z/5G3346G1f)):
```c++
#include <thread>
#include <fmt/ostream.h>
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
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2941). For example
([godbolt](https://godbolt.org/z/KG9z6cq68)):
```c++
#include <variant>
#include <fmt/std.h>
int main() {
auto v = std::variant<int, std::string>(42);
fmt::print("{}\n", v);
}
```
prints:
variant(42)
Thanks @jehelset.
- Added experimental `std::filesystem::path` formatting support
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2865,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2902,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2917,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2918). For example
([godbolt](https://godbolt.org/z/o44dMexEb)):
```c++
#include <filesystem>
#include <fmt/std.h>
int main() {
fmt::print("There is no place like {}.", std::filesystem::path("/home"));
}
```
prints:
There is no place like "/home".
Thanks @phprus.
- Added a `std::thread::id` formatter to `fmt/std.h`. For example
([godbolt](https://godbolt.org/z/j1azbYf3E)):
```c++
#include <thread>
#include <fmt/std.h>
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 (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2793). For
example ([godbolt](https://godbolt.org/z/vWGW7v5M6)):
```c++
#include <fmt/chrono.h>
#include <fmt/color.h>
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

Thanks @rbrugo.
- Made `fmt::print` overload for text styles correctly handle UTF-8
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2681,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2701). Thanks @AlexGuteniev.
- Fixed Unicode handling when writing to an ostream.
- Added support for nested specifiers to range formatting
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2673). For example
([godbolt](https://godbolt.org/z/xd3Gj38cf)):
```c++
#include <vector>
#include <fmt/ranges.h>
int main() {
fmt::print("{::#x}\n", std::vector{10, 20, 30});
}
```
prints `[0xa, 0x14, 0x1e]`.
Thanks @BRevzin.
- Implemented escaping of wide strings in ranges
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2904). Thanks @phprus.
- Added support for ranges with `begin` / `end` found via the
argument-dependent lookup
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2807). Thanks @rbrugo.
- Fixed formatting of certain kinds of ranges of ranges
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2787). Thanks @BRevzin.
- Fixed handling of maps with element types other than `std::pair`
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2944). Thanks @BrukerJWD.
- Made tuple formatter enabled only if elements are formattable
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2939,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2940). Thanks @jehelset.
- Made `fmt::join` compatible with format string compilation
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2719,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2720). Thanks @phprus.
- Made compile-time checks work with named arguments of custom types
and `std::ostream` `print` overloads
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2816,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2817,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2819). Thanks @timsong-cpp.
- Removed `make_args_checked` because it is no longer needed for
compile-time checks
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2760). Thanks @phprus.
- 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`
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2733). Thanks @arogge.
- Removed a redundant buffer resize when formatting to `std::ostream`
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2842,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2843). Thanks @jcelerier.
- Made precision computation for strings consistent with width
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2888).
- Fixed handling of locale separators in floating point formatting
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2830).
- Made sign specifiers work with `__int128_t`
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2773).
- Improved support for systems such as CHERI with extra data stored in
pointers (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2932).
Thanks @davidchisnall.
- Improved documentation

# 8.1.1 - 2022-01-06
- Restored ABI compatibility with version 8.0.x
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2695,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2696). Thanks @saraedum.
- Fixed chrono formatting on big endian systems
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2698,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2699).
Thanks @phprus and @xvitaly.
- Fixed a linkage error with mingw
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2691,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2692). Thanks @rbberger.
# 8.1.0 - 2022-01-02
- Optimized chrono formatting
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2500,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2537,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2541,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2544,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2550,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2551,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2576,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2577,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2586,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2591,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2594,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2602,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2617,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2628,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2633,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2670,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2671).
Processing of some specifiers such as `%z` and `%Y` is now up to
10-20 times faster, for example on GCC 11 with libstdc++:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Benchmark Before After
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
FMTFormatter_z 261 ns 26.3 ns
FMTFormatterCompile_z 246 ns 11.6 ns
FMTFormatter_Y 263 ns 26.1 ns
FMTFormatterCompile_Y 244 ns 10.5 ns
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks @phprus and @toughengineer.
- Implemented subsecond formatting for chrono durations
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2623). For example
([godbolt](https://godbolt.org/z/es7vWTETe)):
```c++
#include <fmt/chrono.h>
int main() {
fmt::print("{:%S}", std::chrono::milliseconds(1234));
}
```
prints \"01.234\".
Thanks @matrackif.
- Fixed handling of precision 0 when formatting chrono durations
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2587,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2588). Thanks @lukester1975.
- Fixed an overflow on invalid inputs in the `tm` formatter
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2564). Thanks @phprus.
- Added `fmt::group_digits` that formats integers with a non-localized
digit separator (comma) for groups of three digits. For example
([godbolt](https://godbolt.org/z/TxGxG9Poq)):
```c++
#include <fmt/format.h>
int main() {
fmt::print("{} dollars", fmt::group_digits(1000000));
}
```
prints \"1,000,000 dollars\".
- Added support for faint, conceal, reverse and blink text styles
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2394):
<https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/576385/147710227-c68f5317-f8fa-42c3-9123-7c4ba3c398cb.mp4>
Thanks @benit8 and @data-man.
- Added experimental support for compile-time floating point
formatting (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2426,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2470). It is currently
limited to the header-only mode. Thanks @alexezeder.
- Added UDL-based named argument support to compile-time format string
checks (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2640,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2649). For example
([godbolt](https://godbolt.org/z/ohGbbvonv)):
```c++
#include <fmt/format.h>
int main() {
using namespace fmt::literals;
fmt::print("{answer:s}", "answer"_a=42);
}
```
gives a compile-time error on compilers with C++20 `consteval` and
non-type template parameter support (gcc 10+) because `s` is not a
valid format specifier for an integer.
Thanks @alexezeder.
- Implemented escaping of string range elements. For example
([godbolt](https://godbolt.org/z/rKvM1vKf3)):
```c++
#include <fmt/ranges.h>
#include <vector>
int main() {
fmt::print("{}", std::vector<std::string>{"\naan"});
}
```
is now printed as:
["\naan"]
instead of:
["
aan"]
- Added an experimental `?` specifier for escaping strings.
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2674). Thanks @BRevzin.
- Switched to JSON-like representation of maps and sets for
consistency with Python\'s `str.format`. For example
([godbolt](https://godbolt.org/z/seKjoY9W5)):
```c++
#include <fmt/ranges.h>
#include <map>
int main() {
fmt::print("{}", std::map<std::string, int>{{"answer", 42}});
}
```
is now printed as:
{"answer": 42}
- Extended `fmt::join` to support C++20-only ranges
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2549). Thanks @BRevzin.
- Optimized handling of non-const-iterable ranges and implemented
initial support for non-const-formattable types.
- Disabled implicit conversions of scoped enums to integers that was
accidentally introduced in earlier versions
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1841).
- Deprecated implicit conversion of `[const] signed char*` and
`[const] unsigned char*` to C strings.
- Deprecated `_format`, a legacy UDL-based format API
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2646). Thanks @alexezeder.
- Marked `format`, `formatted_size` and `to_string` as `[[nodiscard]]`
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2612). @0x8000-0000.
- Added missing diagnostic when trying to format function and member
pointers as well as objects convertible to pointers which is
explicitly disallowed
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2598,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2609,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2610). Thanks @AlexGuteniev.
- Optimized writing to a contiguous buffer with `format_to_n`
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2489). Thanks @Roman-Koshelev.
- Optimized writing to non-`char` buffers
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2477). Thanks @Roman-Koshelev.
- Decimal point is now localized when using the `L` specifier.
- Improved floating point formatter implementation
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2498,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2499). Thanks @Roman-Koshelev.
- Fixed handling of very large precision in fixed format
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2616).
- Made a table of cached powers used in FP formatting static
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2509). Thanks @jk-jeon.
- Resolved a lookup ambiguity with C++20 format-related functions due
to ADL (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2639,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2641). Thanks @mkurdej.
- Removed unnecessary inline namespace qualification
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2642,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2643). Thanks @mkurdej.
- Implemented argument forwarding in `format_to_n`
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2462,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2463). Thanks @owent.
- Fixed handling of implicit conversions in `fmt::to_string` and
format string compilation
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2565).
- Changed the default access mode of files created by
`fmt::output_file` to `-rw-r--r--` for consistency with `fopen`
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2530).
- Make `fmt::ostream::flush` public
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2435).
- Improved C++14/17 attribute detection
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2615). Thanks @AlexGuteniev.
- Improved `consteval` detection for MSVC
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2559). Thanks @DanielaE.

https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2676).
Thanks @sobolevn, @UnePierre, @zhsj, @phprus, @ericcurtin and @Lounarok.
- Improved fuzzers and added a fuzzer for chrono timepoint formatting
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2461,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2469). @pauldreik,
- Added the `FMT_SYSTEM_HEADERS` CMake option setting which marks
{fmt}\'s headers as system. It can be used to suppress warnings
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2644,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2651). Thanks @alexezeder.
- Added the Bazel build system support
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2505,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2516). Thanks @Vertexwahn.
- Improved build configuration and tests
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2437,

# 8.0.1 - 2021-07-02
- Fixed the version number in the inline namespace
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2374).
- Added a missing presentation type check for `std::string`
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2402).
- Fixed a linkage error when mixing code built with clang and gcc
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2377).
- Fixed documentation issues
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2396,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2403,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2406). Thanks @mkurdej.

# 8.0.0 - 2021-06-21
- Enabled compile-time format string checks by default. For example
([godbolt](https://godbolt.org/z/sMxcohGjz)):
```c++
#include <fmt/core.h>
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`:
```c++
fmt::print(fmt::runtime("{:d}"), "I am not a number");
```
- Added compile-time formatting
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2019,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2044,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2056,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2072,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2075,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2078,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2129,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2326). For example
([godbolt](https://godbolt.org/z/Mxx9d89jM)):
```c++
#include <fmt/compile.h>
consteval auto compile_time_itoa(int value) -> std::array<char, 10> {
auto result = std::array<char, 10>();
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.
- 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
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1944).
Before (7.1.3):
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Benchmark Time CPU Iterations
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
FMTCompileOld/0 15.5 ns 15.5 ns 43302898
FMTCompileOld/42 16.6 ns 16.6 ns 43278267
FMTCompileOld/273123 18.7 ns 18.6 ns 37035861
FMTCompileOld/9223372036854775807 19.4 ns 19.4 ns 35243000
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
After (8.x):
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Benchmark Time CPU Iterations
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
FMTCompileNew/0 1.99 ns 1.99 ns 360523686
FMTCompileNew/42 2.33 ns 2.33 ns 279865664
FMTCompileNew/273123 3.72 ns 3.71 ns 190230315
FMTCompileNew/9223372036854775807 5.28 ns 5.26 ns 130711631
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is even faster than `std::to_chars` from libc++ compiled with
clang on macOS:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Benchmark Time CPU Iterations
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
ToChars/0 4.42 ns 4.41 ns 160196630
ToChars/42 5.00 ns 4.98 ns 140735201
ToChars/273123 7.26 ns 7.24 ns 95784130
ToChars/9223372036854775807 8.77 ns 8.75 ns 75872534
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
In other cases, especially involving `std::string` construction, the
speed up is usually lower because handling format specifiers takes a
smaller fraction of the total time.
- Added the `_cf` user-defined literal to represent a compiled format
string. It can be used instead of the `FMT_COMPILE` macro
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2043,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2242):
```c++
#include <fmt/compile.h>
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.
- Format string compilation now requires `format` functions of
`formatter` specializations for user-defined types to be `const`:
```c++
template <> struct fmt::formatter<my_type>: formatter<string_view> {
template <typename FormatContext>
auto format(my_type obj, FormatContext& ctx) const { // Note const here.
// ...
}
};
```
- Added UDL-based named argument support to format string compilation
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2243,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2281). For example:
```c++
#include <fmt/compile.h>
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.
- Added format string compilation support to `fmt::print`
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2280,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2304). Thanks @alexezeder.
- Added initial support for compiling {fmt} as a C++20 module
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2235,

https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2318,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2324,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2332,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2340). Thanks @DanielaE.
- Made symbols private by default reducing shared library size
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2301). For example
there was a \~15% reported reduction on one platform. Thanks @sergiud.
- Optimized includes making the result of preprocessing `fmt/format.h`
\~20% smaller with libstdc++/C++20 and slightly improving build
times (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1998).
- Added support of ranges with non-const `begin` / `end`
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1953). Thanks @kitegi.
- Added support of `std::byte` and other formattable types to
`fmt::join` (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1981,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2040,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2050,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2262). For example:
```c++
#include <fmt/format.h>
#include <cstddef>
#include <vector>
int main() {
auto bytes = std::vector{std::byte(4), std::byte(2)};
fmt::print("{}", fmt::join(bytes, ""));
}
```
prints \"42\".
Thanks @kamibo.
- Implemented the default format for `std::chrono::system_clock`
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2319,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2345). For example:
```c++
#include <fmt/chrono.h>
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:
```c++
#include <fmt/chrono.h>
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
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2337,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2349,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2350). Thanks @phprus.
- 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 `<locale>` 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`
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2327).
- Added support for time points with arbitrary durations
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2208). For example:
```c++
#include <fmt/chrono.h>
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:
```c++
#include <fmt/core.h>
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:
```c++
#include <fmt/core.h>
#include <locale>
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
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2305,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2310). Thanks @Liedtke.
- Made the hexfloat formatting use the right alignment by default
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2308,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2317). Thanks @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
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2133).
- Added support for the `'s'` format specifier that gives textual
representation of `bool`
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2094,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2109). For example:
```c++
#include <fmt/core.h>
int main() {
fmt::print("{:s}", true);
}
```
prints \"true\". Thanks @powercoderlol.
- Made `fmt::ptr` work with function pointers
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2131). For example:
```c++
#include <fmt/format.h>
int main() {
fmt::print("My main: {}\n", fmt::ptr(main));
}
```
Thanks @mikecrowe.
- The undocumented support for specializing `formatter` for pointer
types has been removed.
- Fixed `fmt::formatted_size` with format string compilation
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2141,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2161). Thanks @alexezeder.
- Fixed handling of empty format strings during format string
compilation (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2042):
```c++
auto s = fmt::format(FMT_COMPILE(""));
```
Thanks @alexezeder.
- Fixed handling of enums in `fmt::to_string`
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2036).
- Improved width computation
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2033,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2091). For example:
```c++
#include <fmt/core.h>
int main() {
fmt::print("{:-<10}{}\n", "你好", "世界");
fmt::print("{:-<10}{}\n", "hello", "world");
}
```
prints
![](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`
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2018). For example:
```c++
#include <fmt/os.h>
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
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2197,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2198). Thanks @vtta.
- Replaced the `fmt::system_error` exception with a function of the
same name that constructs `std::system_error`
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/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()`
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2274,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2275). The latter is
similar to `std::sytem_category` but correctly handles UTF-8.
Thanks @phprus.
- Replaced `fmt::error_code` with `std::error_code` and made it
formattable (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2269,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2270,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2273). Thanks @phprus.
- Added speech synthesis support
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2206).
- Made `format_to` work with a memory buffer that has a custom
allocator (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2300).
Thanks @voxmea.
- Added `Allocator::max_size` support to `basic_memory_buffer`.
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1960). Thanks @phprus.
- Added wide string support to `fmt::join`
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2236). Thanks @crbrz.
- Made iterators passed to `formatter` specializations via a format
context satisfy C++20 `std::output_iterator` requirements
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2156,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2158,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2195,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2204). Thanks @randomnetcat.
- Optimized the `printf` implementation
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1982,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1984,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2016,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2164).
Thanks @rimathia and @moiwi.
- Improved detection of `constexpr` `char_traits`
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2246,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2257). Thanks @phprus.
- Fixed writing to `stdout` when it is redirected to `NUL` on Windows
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2080).
- Fixed exception propagation from iterators
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2097).
- Improved `strftime` error handling
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2238,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2244). Thanks @yumeyao.
- Stopped using deprecated GCC UDL template extension.
- Added `fmt/args.h` to the install target
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2096).
- Error messages are now passed to assert when exceptions are disabled
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2145). Thanks @NobodyXu.
- Added the `FMT_MASTER_PROJECT` CMake option to control build and
install targets when {fmt} is included via `add_subdirectory`
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2098,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2100).
Thanks @randomizedthinking.
- Improved build configuration
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2026,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2122).
Thanks @luncliff and @ibaned.
- Fixed various warnings and compilation issues

# 7.1.3 - 2020-11-24
- Fixed handling of buffer boundaries in `format_to_n`
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1996,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2029).
- Fixed linkage errors when linking with a shared library
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2011).
- Reintroduced ostream support to range formatters
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2014).
- Worked around an issue with mixing std versions in gcc
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2017).
# 7.1.2 - 2020-11-04
- Fixed floating point formatting with large precision
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1976).
# 7.1.1 - 2020-11-01
- Fixed ABI compatibility with 7.0.x
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1961).
- Added the `FMT_ARM_ABI_COMPATIBILITY` macro to work around ABI
incompatibility between GCC and Clang on ARM
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1919).
- Worked around a SFINAE bug in GCC 8
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1957).
- Fixed linkage errors when building with GCC\'s LTO
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1955).
- Fixed a compilation error when building without `__builtin_clz` or
equivalent (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1968).
Thanks @tohammer.
- Fixed a sign conversion warning
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1964). Thanks @OptoCloud.
# 7.1.0 - 2020-10-25
- Switched from
[Grisu3](https://www.cs.tufts.edu/~nr/cs257/archive/florian-loitsch/printf.pdf)
to [Dragonbox](https://github.com/jk-jeon/dragonbox) for the default
floating-point formatting which gives the shortest decimal
representation with round-trip guarantee and correct rounding
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1882,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1887,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1894). This makes {fmt}
up to 20-30x faster than common implementations of
`std::ostringstream` and `sprintf` on
[dtoa-benchmark](https://github.com/fmtlib/dtoa-benchmark) and
faster than double-conversion and Ryū:
![](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.
- Added an experimental unsynchronized file output API which, together
with [format string
compilation](https://fmt.dev/latest/api.html#compile-api), can give
[5-9 times speed up compared to
fprintf](https://www.zverovich.net/2020/08/04/optimal-file-buffer-size.html)
on common platforms ([godbolt](https://godbolt.org/z/nsTcG8)):
```c++
#include <fmt/os.h>
int main() {
auto f = fmt::output_file("guide");
f.print("The answer is {}.", 42);
}
```
- Added a formatter for `std::chrono::time_point<system_clock>`
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1819,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1837). For example
([godbolt](https://godbolt.org/z/c4M6fh)):
```c++
#include <fmt/chrono.h>
int main() {
auto now = std::chrono::system_clock::now();
fmt::print("The time is {:%H:%M:%S}.\n", now);
}
```
Thanks @adamburgess.
- Added support for ranges with non-const `begin`/`end` to `fmt::join`
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1784,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1786). For example
([godbolt](https://godbolt.org/z/jP63Tv)):
```c++
#include <fmt/ranges.h>
#include <range/v3/view/filter.hpp>
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.
- Added a `memory_buffer::append` overload that takes a range
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1806). Thanks @BRevzin.
- Improved handling of single code units in `FMT_COMPILE`. For
example:
```c++
#include <fmt/compile.h>
char* f(char* buf) {
return fmt::format_to(buf, FMT_COMPILE("x{}"), 42);
}
```
compiles to just ([godbolt](https://godbolt.org/z/5vncz3)):
```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
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1809).
- Improved error reporting for unformattable types: now you\'ll get
the type name directly in the error message instead of the note:
```c++
#include <fmt/core.h>
struct how_about_no {};
int main() {
fmt::print("{}", how_about_no());
}
```
Error ([godbolt](https://godbolt.org/z/GoxM4e)):
`fmt/core.h:1438:3: error: static_assert failed due to requirement 'fmt::v7::formattable<how_about_no>()' "Cannot format an argument. To make type T formattable provide a formatter<T> specialization: https://fmt.dev/latest/api.html#udt" ...`
- Added the
[make_args_checked](https://fmt.dev/7.1.0/api.html#argument-lists)
function template that allows you to write formatting functions with
compile-time format string checks and avoid binary code bloat
([godbolt](https://godbolt.org/z/PEf9qr)):
```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 <typename S, typename... Args>
void log(const char* file, int line, const S& format, Args&&... args) {
vlog(file, line, format,
fmt::make_args_checked<Args...>(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](https://godbolt.org/z/dPhWvj)):
```c++
#include <fmt/core.h>
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](https://fmt.dev/latest/api.html#core-api)
([godbolt](https://godbolt.org/z/sPjY1K)):
```c++
#include <fmt/core.h>
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
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1764,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1767,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1869). For example
([godbolt](https://godbolt.org/z/93h86q)):
```c++
#include <fmt/compile.h>
int main() {
char buffer[8];
fmt::format_to_n(buffer, sizeof(buffer), FMT_COMPILE("{}"), 42);
}
```
Thanks @Kurkin and @alexezeder.
- Added `fmt::format_to` overload that take `text_style`
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1593,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1842,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1843). For example
([godbolt](https://godbolt.org/z/91153r)):
```c++
#include <fmt/color.h>
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.
- Made the `'#'` specifier emit trailing zeros in addition to the
decimal point (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1797).
For example ([godbolt](https://godbolt.org/z/bhdcW9)):
```c++
#include <fmt/core.h>
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`
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1893,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/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`
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1873,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1917).
- Made `fmt::to_string` fallback on `ostream` insertion operator if
the `formatter` specialization is not provided
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1815,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1829). Thanks @alexezeder.
- Added support for the append mode to the experimental file API and
improved `fcntl.h` detection.
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1847,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1848). Thanks @t-wiser.
- Fixed handling of types that have both an implicit conversion
operator and an overloaded `ostream` insertion operator
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1766).
- Fixed a slicing issue in an internal iterator type
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1822). Thanks @BRevzin.
- Fixed an issue in locale-specific integer formatting
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1927).
- Fixed handling of exotic code unit types
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1870,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1932).
- Improved `FMT_ALWAYS_INLINE`
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1878). Thanks @jk-jeon.
- Removed dependency on `windows.h`
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1900). Thanks @bernd5.
- Optimized counting of decimal digits on MSVC
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1890). Thanks @mwinterb.
- Improved documentation
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1772,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1775,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1792,

https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1888,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1918,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1939).
Thanks @leolchat, @pepsiman, @Klaim, @ravijanjam, @francesco-st and @udnaan.
- 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
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1778,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1781). Thanks @kammce.
- Added the `FMT_USE_INLINE_NAMESPACES` macro to control usage of
inline namespaces
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1945). Thanks @darklukee.
- Improved build configuration
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1760,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1770,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1779,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1783,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1823).
Thanks @dvetutnev, @xvitaly, @tambry, @medithe and @martinwuehrer.
- Fixed various warnings and compilation issues

# 7.0.3 - 2020-08-06
- Worked around broken `numeric_limits` for 128-bit integers
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1787).
- Added error reporting on missing named arguments
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1796).
- Stopped using 128-bit integers with clang-cl
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1800). Thanks @Kingcom.
- Fixed issues in locale-specific integer formatting
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1782,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1801).
# 7.0.2 - 2020-07-29
- Worked around broken `numeric_limits` for 128-bit integers
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1725).
- Fixed compatibility with CMake 3.4
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1779).
- Fixed handling of digit separators in locale-specific formatting
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1782).
# 7.0.1 - 2020-07-07
- Updated the inline version namespace name.
- Worked around a gcc bug in mangling of alias templates
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1753).
- Fixed a linkage error on Windows
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1757). Thanks @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](http://www.zverovich.net/2020/05/21/reducing-library-size.html).
- Added a simpler and more efficient [format string compilation
API](https://fmt.dev/7.0.0/api.html#compile-api):
```c++
#include <fmt/compile.h>
// 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++](http://www.zverovich.net/2020/06/13/fast-int-to-string-revisited.html).
- Optimized handling of small format strings. For example,
```c++
fmt::format("Result: {}: ({},{},{},{})", str1, str2, str3, str4, str5)
```
is now \~40% faster
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1685).
- Applied extern templates to improve compile times when using the
core API and `fmt/format.h`
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/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
```c++
#include <fmt/core.h>
int main() {
fmt::print("The answer is {answer}\n", fmt::arg("answer", 42));
}
```
compiles to just ([godbolt](https://godbolt.org/z/NcfEp_))
```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<char>,
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
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1614):
```c++
#include <fmt/format.h>
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`
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1689)
```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.
- Added support for named arguments, `clear` and `reserve` to
`dynamic_format_arg_store`
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1655,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1663,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1674,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1677). Thanks @vsolontsov-ll.
- Added support for the `'c'` format specifier to integral types for
compatibility with `std::format`
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1652).
- Replaced the `'n'` format specifier with `'L'` for compatibility
with `std::format`
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/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`
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/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
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1595,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1682,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1683,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1687,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1699). Thanks @rimathia.
- Fixed handling of `operator<<` overloads that use `copyfmt`
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/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
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1654,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1656). Thanks @kwesolowski.
- Replaced `FUZZING_BUILD_MODE_UNSAFE_FOR_PRODUCTION` with the
`FMT_FUZZ` macro to prevent interfering with fuzzing of projects
using {fmt} (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1650).
Thanks @asraa.
- Fixed compatibility with emscripten
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1636,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1637). Thanks @ArthurSonzogni.
- Improved documentation
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/704,

# 6.2.1 - 2020-05-09
- Fixed ostream support in `sprintf`
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1631).
- Fixed type detection when using implicit conversion to `string_view`
and ostream `operator<<` inconsistently
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1662).
# 6.2.0 - 2020-04-05
- Improved error reporting when trying to format an object of a
non-formattable type:
```c++
fmt::format("{}", S());
```
now gives:
include/fmt/core.h:1015:5: error: static_assert failed due to requirement
'formattable' "Cannot format argument. To make type T formattable provide a
formatter<T> specialization:
https://fmt.dev/latest/api.html#formatting-user-defined-types"
static_assert(
^
...
note: in instantiation of function template specialization
'fmt::v6::format<char [3], S, char>' requested here
fmt::format("{}", S());
^
if `S` is not formattable.
- Reduced the library size by \~10%.
- Always print decimal point if `#` is specified
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1476,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1498):
```c++
fmt::print("{:#.0f}", 42.0);
```
now prints `42.`
- Implemented the `'L'` specifier for locale-specific numeric
formatting to improve compatibility with `std::format`. 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. Thanks Tim Song.
- Improved UTF-8 handling
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1109):
```c++
fmt::print("┌{0:─^{2}}┐\n"
"│{1: ^{2}}│\n"
"└{0:─^{2}}┘\n", "", "Привет, мир!", 20);
```
now prints:
┌────────────────────┐
│ Привет, мир! │
└────────────────────┘
on systems that support Unicode.
- Added experimental dynamic argument storage
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1170,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1584):
```c++
fmt::dynamic_format_arg_store<fmt::format_context> store;
store.push_back("answer");
store.push_back(42);
fmt::vprint("The {} is {}.\n", store);
```
prints:
The answer is 42.
Thanks @vsolontsov-ll.
- Made `fmt::join` accept `initializer_list`

# 6.1.2 - 2019-12-11
- Fixed ABI compatibility with `libfmt.so.6.0.0`
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1471).
- Fixed handling types convertible to `std::string_view`
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1451). Thanks @denizevrenci.
- Made CUDA test an opt-in enabled via the `FMT_CUDA_TEST` CMake
option.
- Fixed sign conversion warnings
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1440). Thanks @0x8000-0000.
# 6.1.1 - 2019-12-04
- Fixed shared library build on Windows
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1443,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1445,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1446,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1450).
Thanks @egorpugin and @bbolli.
- Added a missing decimal point in exponent notation with trailing
zeros.
- Removed deprecated `format_arg_store::TYPES`.
# 6.1.0 - 2019-12-01
- {fmt} now formats IEEE 754 `float` and `double` using the shortest
decimal representation with correct rounding by default:
```c++
#include <cmath>
#include <fmt/core.h>
int main() {
fmt::print("{}", M_PI);
}
```
prints `3.141592653589793`.
- Made the fast binary to decimal floating-point formatter the
default, simplified it and improved performance. {fmt} is now 15
times faster than libc++\'s `std::ostringstream`, 11 times faster
than `printf` and 10% faster than double-conversion on
[dtoa-benchmark](https://github.com/fmtlib/dtoa-benchmark):
| Function | Time (ns) | Speedup |
| ------------- | --------: | ------: |
| ostringstream | 1,346.30 | 1.00x |
| ostrstream | 1,195.74 | 1.13x |
| sprintf | 995.08 | 1.35x |
| doubleconv | 99.10 | 13.59x |
| fmt | 88.34 | 15.24x |
![](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/576385/69767160-cdaca400-112f-11ea-9fc5-347c9f83caad.png)
- {fmt} no longer converts `float` arguments to `double`. In
particular this improves the default (shortest) representation of
floats and makes `fmt::format` consistent with `std::format` specs
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1336,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1353,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1360,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1361):
```c++
fmt::print("{}", 0.1f);
```
prints `0.1` instead of `0.10000000149011612`.
Thanks @orivej.
- Made floating-point formatting output consistent with
`printf`/iostreams
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1376,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1417).
- Added support for 128-bit integers
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1287):
```c++
fmt::print("{}", std::numeric_limits<__int128_t>::max());
```
prints `170141183460469231731687303715884105727`.
Thanks @denizevrenci.
- The overload of `print` that takes `text_style` is now atomic, i.e.
the output from different threads doesn\'t interleave
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1351). Thanks @tankiJong.
- 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
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1322,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1330):
```c++
#include <tuple>
#include <fmt/ranges.h>
int main() {
std::tuple<char, int, float> t{'a', 1, 2.0f};
fmt::print("{}", t);
}
```
prints `('a', 1, 2.0)`.
Thanks @jeremyong.
- Changed formatting of octal zero with prefix from \"00\" to \"0\":
```c++
fmt::print("{:#o}", 0);
```
prints `0`.
- The locale is now passed to ostream insertion (`<<`) operators
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1406):
```c++
#include <fmt/locale.h>
#include <fmt/ostream.h>
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.
- Locale-specific number formatting now uses grouping
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1393,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1394). Thanks @skrdaniel.
- Fixed handling of types with deleted implicit rvalue conversion to
`const char**` (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1421):
```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`
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1286). Thanks @agmt.
- Enum classes are no longer implicitly converted to `int`
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/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
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1389,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1390). Thanks @tajtiattila.
- {fmt} can now be installed on Linux, macOS and Windows with
[Conda](https://docs.conda.io/en/latest/) using its
[conda-forge](https://conda-forge.org)
[package](https://github.com/conda-forge/fmt-feedstock)
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1410):
conda install -c conda-forge fmt
Thanks @tdegeus.
- Added a CUDA test (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1285,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1317).
Thanks @luncliff and @risa2000.
- Improved documentation

- Various code improvements
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1358,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1407).
Thanks @orivej and @dpacbach.
- Fixed compile-time format string checks for user-defined types
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1292).
- Worked around a false positive in `unsigned-integer-overflow` sanitizer
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1377).

# 6.0.0 - 2019-08-26
- Switched to the [MIT license](
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/blob/5a4b24613ba16cc689977c3b5bd8274a3ba1dd1f/LICENSE.rst)
with an optional exception that allows distributing binary code
without attribution.
- Floating-point formatting is now locale-independent by default:
```c++
#include <locale>
#include <fmt/core.h>
int main() {
std::locale::global(std::locale("ru_RU.UTF-8"));
fmt::print("value = {}", 4.2);
}
```
prints \"value = 4.2\" regardless of the locale.
For locale-specific formatting use the `n` specifier:
```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:
```c++
#define FMT_USE_GRISU 1
#include <fmt/format.h>
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](https://github.com/fmtlib/dtoa-benchmark) ([full
results](https://fmt.dev/unknown_mac64_clang10.0.html)):
![](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](http://eel.is/c++draft/format), removing the
undocumented `basic_format_context::parse_context()` function.
- Added [oss-fuzz](https://github.com/google/oss-fuzz) support
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1199). Thanks @pauldreik.
- `formatter` specializations now always take precedence over
`operator<<` (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/952):
```c++
#include <iostream>
#include <fmt/ostream.h>
struct S {};
std::ostream& operator<<(std::ostream& os, S) {
return os << 1;
}
template <>
struct fmt::formatter<S> : fmt::formatter<int> {
auto format(S, format_context& ctx) {
return formatter<int>::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
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/618,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1169,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1171):
```c++
#include <fmt/compile.h>
auto f = fmt::compile<int>("{}");
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.
- Added experimental `%` format specifier that formats floating-point
values as percentages
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1060,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1069,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1071):
```c++
auto s = fmt::format("{:.1%}", 0.42); // s == "42.0%"
```
Thanks @gawain-bolton.
- Implemented precision for floating-point durations
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1004,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1012):
```c++
auto s = fmt::format("{:.1}", std::chrono::duration<double>(1.234));
// s == 1.2s
```
Thanks @DanielaE.
- Implemented `chrono` format specifiers `%Q` and `%q` that give the
value and the unit respectively
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1019):
```c++
auto value = fmt::format("{:%Q}", 42s); // value == "42"
auto unit = fmt::format("{:%q}", 42s); // unit == "s"
```
Thanks @DanielaE.
- Fixed handling of dynamic width in chrono formatter:
```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` (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/993,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/994):
```c++
#include <fmt/color.h>
std::string message = fmt::format(fmt::emphasis::bold | fg(fmt::color::red),
"The answer is {}.", 42);
```
Thanks @Naios.
- 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` (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1121):
```c++
std::unique_ptr<int> p = ...;
fmt::print("{}", fmt::ptr(p)); // prints p as a pointer
```
Thanks @sighingnow.
- Made `print` and `vprint` report I/O errors
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1098,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1099). Thanks @BillyDonahue.
- Marked deprecated APIs with the `[[deprecated]]` attribute and
removed internal uses of deprecated APIs
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1022). Thanks @eliaskosunen.
- Modernized the codebase using more C++11 features and removing
workarounds. Most importantly, `buffer_context` is now an alias
template, so use `buffer_context<T>` instead of
`buffer_context<T>::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
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1229,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1243). Thanks @jackoalan.
- Improved literal-based API
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1254). Thanks @sylveon.
- Added support for exotic platforms without `uintptr_t` such as IBM i
(AS/400) which has 128-bit pointers and only 64-bit integers
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1059).
- Added [Sublime Text syntax highlighting config](
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/blob/master/support/C%2B%2B.sublime-syntax)
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1037). Thanks @Kronuz.
- Added the `FMT_ENFORCE_COMPILE_STRING` macro to enforce the use of
compile-time format strings
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1231). Thanks @jackoalan.
- Stopped setting `CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE` if {fmt} is a subproject
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1081).
- Various build improvements
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1039,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1078,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1091,

https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1265).
Thanks @mikelui, @foonathan, @BillyDonahue, @jwakely, @kaisbe and
@sdebionne.
- Fixed ambiguous formatter specialization in `fmt/ranges.h`
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1123).
- Fixed formatting of a non-empty `std::filesystem::path` which is an
infinitely deep range of its components
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1268).
- Fixed handling of general output iterators when formatting
characters (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1056,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1058). Thanks @abolz.
- Fixed handling of output iterators in `formatter` specialization for
ranges (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1064).

# 5.3.0 - 2018-12-28
- Introduced experimental chrono formatting support:
```c++
#include <fmt/chrono.h>
int main() {
using namespace std::literals::chrono_literals;
fmt::print("Default format: {} {}\n", 42s, 100ms);
fmt::print("strftime-like format: {:%H:%M:%S}\n", 3h + 15min + 30s);
}
```
prints:
Default format: 42s 100ms
strftime-like format: 03:15:30
- Added experimental support for emphasis (bold, italic, underline,
strikethrough), colored output to a file stream, and improved
colored formatting API
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/961,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/967,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/973):
```c++
#include <fmt/color.h>
int main() {
print(fg(fmt::color::crimson) | fmt::emphasis::bold,
"Hello, {}!\n", "world");
print(fg(fmt::color::floral_white) | bg(fmt::color::slate_gray) |
fmt::emphasis::underline, "Hello, {}!\n", "мир");
print(fg(fmt::color::steel_blue) | fmt::emphasis::italic,
"Hello, {}!\n", "世界");
}
```
prints the following on modern terminals with RGB color support:
![](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/576385/50405788-b66e7500-076e-11e9-9592-7324d1f951d8.png)
Thanks @Rakete1111.
- Added support for 4-bit terminal colors
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/968,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/974)
```c++
#include <fmt/color.h>
int main() {
print(fg(fmt::terminal_color::red), "stop\n");
}
```
Note that these colors vary by terminal:
![](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/576385/50405925-dbfc7e00-0770-11e9-9b85-333fab0af9ac.png)
Thanks @Rakete1111.
- Parameterized formatting functions on the type of the format string
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/880,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/881,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/883,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/885,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/897,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/920). Any object of
type `S` that has an overloaded `to_string_view(const S&)` returning
`fmt::string_view` can be used as a format string:
```c++
namespace my_ns {
inline string_view to_string_view(const my_string& s) {
return {s.data(), s.length()};
}
}
std::string message = fmt::format(my_string("The answer is {}."), 42);
```
Thanks @DanielaE.
- Made `std::string_view` work as a format string
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/898):
```c++
auto message = fmt::format(std::string_view("The answer is {}."), 42);
```
Thanks @DanielaE.
- Added wide string support to compile-time format string checks
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/924):
```c++
print(fmt(L"{:f}"), 42); // compile-time error: invalid type specifier
```
Thanks @XZiar.
- Made colored print functions work with wide strings
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/867):
```c++
#include <fmt/color.h>
int main() {
print(fg(fmt::color::red), L"{}\n", 42);
}
```
Thanks @DanielaE.
- Introduced experimental Unicode support
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/628,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/891):
```c++
using namespace fmt::literals;
auto s = fmt::format("{:*^5}"_u, "🤡"_u); // s == "**🤡**"_u
```
- Improved locale support:
```c++
#include <fmt/locale.h>
struct numpunct : std::numpunct<char> {
protected:
char do_thousands_sep() const override { return '~'; }
};
std::locale loc;
auto s = fmt::format(std::locale(loc, new numpunct()), "{:n}", 1234567);
// s == "1~234~567"
```
- Constrained formatting functions on proper iterator types
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/921). Thanks @DanielaE.
- Added `make_printf_args` and `make_wprintf_args` functions
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/934). Thanks @tnovotny.
- Deprecated `fmt::visit`, `parse_context`, and `wparse_context`. Use
`fmt::visit_format_arg`, `format_parse_context`, and
`wformat_parse_context` instead.
- Removed undocumented `basic_fixed_buffer` which has been superseded
by the iterator-based API
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/873,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/902). Thanks @superfunc.
- Disallowed repeated leading zeros in an argument ID:
```c++
fmt::print("{000}", 42); // error
```
- Reintroduced support for gcc 4.4.
- Fixed compilation on platforms with exotic `double`
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/878).
- Improved documentation
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/164,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/877,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/901,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/906,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/979).
Thanks @kookjr, @DarkDimius and @HecticSerenity.
- Added pkgconfig support which makes it easier to consume the library
from meson and other build systems
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/916). Thanks @colemickens.
- Various build improvements
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/909,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/926,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/937,

https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/959).
Thanks @tchaikov, @luncliff, @AndreasSchoenle, @hotwatermorning and @Zefz.
- Improved `string_view` construction performance
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/914). Thanks @gabime.
- Fixed non-matching char types
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/895). Thanks @DanielaE.
- Fixed `format_to_n` with `std::back_insert_iterator`
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/913). Thanks @DanielaE.
- Fixed locale-dependent formatting
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/905).
- Fixed various compiler warnings and errors
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/882,

# 5.2.1 - 2018-09-21
- Fixed `visit` lookup issues on gcc 7 & 8
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/870). Thanks @medithe.
- Fixed linkage errors on older gcc.
- Prevented `fmt/range.h` from specializing `fmt::basic_string_view`
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/865,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/868). Thanks @hhggit.
- Improved error message when formatting unknown types
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/872). Thanks @foonathan.
- Disabled templated user-defined literals when compiled under nvcc
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/875). Thanks @CandyGumdrop.
- Fixed `format_to` formatting to `wmemory_buffer`
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/874).
# 5.2.0 - 2018-09-13
- Optimized format string parsing and argument processing which
resulted in up to 5x speed up on long format strings and significant
performance boost on various benchmarks. 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`:
```c++
#define FMT_STRING_ALIAS 1
#include <fmt/format.h>
std::string answer = format(fmt("{}"), 42);
```
- Added compile-time format string checks to `format_to` overload that
takes `fmt::memory_buffer`
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/783):
```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`:
```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
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/814,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/819). Thanks @MikePopoloski.
- Reduced executable size overhead for embedded targets using newlib
nano by making locale dependency optional
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/839). Thanks @teajay-fr.
- Keep `noexcept` specifier when exceptions are disabled
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/801,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/810). Thanks @qis.
- Fixed formatting of user-defined types providing `operator<<` with
`format_to_n` (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/806).
Thanks @mkurdej.
- Fixed dynamic linkage of new symbols
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/808).
- Fixed global initialization issue
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/807):
```c++
// This works on compilers with constexpr support.
static const std::string answer = fmt::format("{}", 42);
```
- Fixed various compiler warnings and errors
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/804,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/809,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/811,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/822,

https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/851,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/852,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/854).
Thanks @henryiii, @medithe, and @eliasdaler.
# 5.1.0 - 2018-07-05
- Added experimental support for RGB color output enabled with the
`FMT_EXTENDED_COLORS` macro:
```c++
#define FMT_EXTENDED_COLORS
#define FMT_HEADER_ONLY // or compile fmt with FMT_EXTENDED_COLORS defined
#include <fmt/format.h>
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.
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/762
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/767). thanks @Remotion.
- Added quotes to strings in ranges and tuples
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/766). Thanks @Remotion.
- Made `format_to` work with `basic_memory_buffer`
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/776).
- Added `vformat_to_n` and `wchar_t` overload of `format_to_n`
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/764,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/769).
- Made `is_range` and `is_tuple_like` part of public (experimental)
API to allow specialization for user-defined types
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/751,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/759). Thanks @drrlvn.
- Added more compilers to continuous integration and increased
`FMT_PEDANTIC` warning levels
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/736). Thanks @eliaskosunen.
- Fixed compilation with MSVC 2013.
- Fixed handling of user-defined types in `format_to`
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/793).
- Forced linking of inline `vformat` functions into the library
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/795).
- Fixed incorrect call to on_align in `'{:}='`
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/750).
- Fixed floating-point formatting to a non-back_insert_iterator with
sign & numeric alignment specified
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/756).
- Fixed formatting to an array with `format_to_n`
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/778).
- Fixed formatting of more than 15 named arguments
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/754).
- Fixed handling of compile-time strings when including
`fmt/ostream.h`. (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/768).
- Fixed various compiler warnings and errors
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/742,

Thanks @Remotion, @gabime, @foonathan, @Dark-Passenger and @0x8000-0000.
# 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](https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/releases/tag/4.1.0)
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](https://wg21.link/P0645).
- Implemented `constexpr` parsing of format strings and [compile-time
format string
checks](https://fmt.dev/latest/api.html#compile-time-format-string-checks).
For example
```c++
#include <fmt/format.h>
std::string s = format(fmt("{:d}"), "foo");
```
gives a compile-time error because `d` is an invalid specifier for
strings ([godbolt](https://godbolt.org/g/rnCy9Q)):
...
<source>:4:19: note: in instantiation of function template specialization 'fmt::v5::format<S, char [4]>' 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
```c++
struct Answer {};
namespace fmt {
template <>
struct formatter<Answer> {
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 <typename FormatContext>
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](https://godbolt.org/g/2jQ1Dv)):
...
<source>:12:45: error: expression '<throw-expression>' is not a constant expression
throw format_error("invalid specifier");
- Added [iterator
support](https://fmt.dev/latest/api.html#output-iterator-support):
```c++
#include <vector>
#include <fmt/format.h>
std::vector<char> out;
fmt::format_to(std::back_inserter(out), "{}", 42);
```
- Added the
[format_to_n](https://fmt.dev/latest/api.html#_CPPv2N3fmt11format_to_nE8OutputItNSt6size_tE11string_viewDpRK4Args)
function that restricts the output to the specified number of
characters (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/298):
```c++
char out[4];
fmt::format_to_n(out, sizeof(out), "{}", 12345);
// out == "1234" (without terminating '\0')
```
- Added the [formatted_size](
https://fmt.dev/latest/api.html#_CPPv2N3fmt14formatted_sizeE11string_viewDpRK4Args)
function for computing the output size:
```c++
#include <fmt/format.h>
auto size = fmt::formatted_size("{}", 12345); // size == 5
```
- Improved compile times by reducing dependencies on standard headers
and providing a lightweight [core
API](https://fmt.dev/latest/api.html#core-api):
```c++
#include <fmt/core.h>
fmt::print("The answer is {}.", 42);
```
See [Compile time and code
bloat](https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt#compile-time-and-code-bloat).
- Added the [make_format_args](
https://fmt.dev/latest/api.html#_CPPv2N3fmt16make_format_argsEDpRK4Args)
function for capturing formatting arguments:
```c++
// Prints formatted error message.
void vreport_error(const char *format, fmt::format_args args) {
fmt::print("Error: ");
fmt::vprint(format, args);
}
template <typename... Args>
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 (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/687,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/694). Thanks @Kronuz.
- Added prefix `v` to non-variadic functions taking `format_args` to
distinguish them from variadic ones:
```c++
std::string vformat(string_view format_str, format_args args);
template <typename... Args>
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`
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/735):
```c++
#include <fmt/ranges.h>
std::vector<int> v = {1, 2, 3};
fmt::print("{}", v); // prints {1, 2, 3}
```
Thanks @Remotion.
- Implemented `wchar_t` date and time formatting
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/712):
```c++
#include <fmt/time.h>
std::time_t t = std::time(nullptr);
auto s = fmt::format(L"The date is {:%Y-%m-%d}.", *std::localtime(&t));
```
Thanks @DanielaE.
- Provided more wide string overloads
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/724). Thanks @DanielaE.

`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.

(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/607):
```c++
#include <fmt/core.h>
#include <experimental/string_view>
fmt::print("{}", std::experimental::string_view("foo"));
```
Thanks @virgiliofornazin.

```c++
fmt::format("{} {two}", 1, fmt::arg("two", 2));

# 3.0.0 - 2016-05-07
- The project has been renamed from C++ Format (cppformat) to fmt for
consistency with the used namespace and macro prefix
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/307). Library headers
are now located in the `fmt` directory:
```c++
#include "fmt/format.h"
```
Including `format.h` from the `cppformat` directory is deprecated
but works via a proxy header which will be removed in the next major
version.
The documentation is now available at <https://fmt.dev>.
- Added support for
[strftime](http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/chrono/c/strftime)-like
[date and time
formatting](https://fmt.dev/3.0.0/api.html#date-and-time-formatting)
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/283):
```c++
#include "fmt/time.h"
std::time_t t = std::time(nullptr);
// Prints "The date is 2016-04-29." (with the current date)
fmt::print("The date is {:%Y-%m-%d}.", *std::localtime(&t));
```
- `std::ostream` support including formatting of user-defined types
that provide overloaded `operator<<` has been moved to
`fmt/ostream.h`:
```c++
#include "fmt/ostream.h"
class Date {
int year_, month_, day_;
public:
Date(int year, int month, int day) : year_(year), month_(month), day_(day) {}
friend std::ostream &operator<<(std::ostream &os, const Date &d) {
return os << d.year_ << '-' << d.month_ << '-' << d.day_;
}
};
std::string s = fmt::format("The date is {}", Date(2012, 12, 9));
// s == "The date is 2012-12-9"
```
- Added support for [custom argument
formatters](https://fmt.dev/3.0.0/api.html#argument-formatters)
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/235).
- Added support for locale-specific integer formatting with the `n`
specifier (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/305):
```c++
std::setlocale(LC_ALL, "en_US.utf8");
fmt::print("cppformat: {:n}\n", 1234567); // prints 1,234,567
```
- Sign is now preserved when formatting an integer with an incorrect
`printf` format specifier
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/265):
```c++
fmt::printf("%lld", -42); // prints -42
```
Note that it would be an undefined behavior in `std::printf`.
- Length modifiers such as `ll` are now optional in printf formatting
functions and the correct type is determined automatically
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/255):
```c++
fmt::printf("%d", std::numeric_limits<long long>::max());
```
Note that it would be an undefined behavior in `std::printf`.
- Added initial support for custom formatters
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/231).
- Fixed detection of user-defined literal support on Intel C++
compiler (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/311,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/312).
Thanks @dean0x7d and @speth.
- Reduced compile time
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/243,

fmt::print("{}", true); // prints "true"
```
To print `bool` as a number use numeric format specifier such as
`d`:
```c++
fmt::print("{:d}", true); // prints "1"
```
- `fmt::printf` and `fmt::sprintf` now support formatting of `bool`
with the `%s` specifier giving textual output, \"true\" or \"false\"
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/223):
```c++
fmt::printf("%s", true); // prints "true"
```
Thanks @LarsGullik.
- \[Breaking\] `signed char` and `unsigned char` are now formatted as
integers by default
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/217).
- \[Breaking\] Pointers to C strings can now be formatted with the `p`
specifier (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/223):
```c++
fmt::print("{:p}", "test"); // prints pointer value
```
Thanks @LarsGullik.
- \[Breaking\] `fmt::printf` and `fmt::sprintf` now print null
pointers as `(nil)` and null strings as `(null)` for consistency
with glibc (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/226).
Thanks @LarsGullik.
- \[Breaking\] `fmt::(s)printf` now supports formatting of objects of
user-defined types that provide an overloaded `std::ostream`
insertion operator (`operator<<`)
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/201):
```c++
fmt::printf("The date is %s", Date(2012, 12, 9));
```
- \[Breaking\] The `Buffer` template is now part of the public API and
can be used to implement custom memory buffers
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/140). Thanks @polyvertex.
- \[Breaking\] Improved compatibility between `BasicStringRef` and
[std::experimental::basic_string_view](
http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/experimental/basic_string_view)
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/100,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/159,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/183):
- Comparison operators now compare string content, not pointers
- `BasicStringRef::c_str` replaced by `BasicStringRef::data`
- `BasicStringRef` is no longer assumed to be null-terminated
References to null-terminated strings are now represented by a new
class, `BasicCStringRef`.
- Dependency on pthreads introduced by Google Test is now optional
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/185).
- New CMake options `FMT_DOC`, `FMT_INSTALL` and `FMT_TEST` to control
generation of `doc`, `install` and `test` targets respectively, on
by default (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/197,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/198,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/200). Thanks @maddinat0r.
- `noexcept` is now used when compiling with MSVC2015
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/215). Thanks @dmkrepo.
- Added an option to disable use of `windows.h` when
`FMT_USE_WINDOWS_H` is defined as 0 before including `format.h`
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/171). Thanks @alfps.
- \[Breaking\] `windows.h` is now included with `NOMINMAX` unless
`FMT_WIN_MINMAX` is defined. This is done to prevent breaking code
using `std::min` and `std::max` and only affects the header-only
configuration (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/152,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/153,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/154). Thanks @DevO2012.
- Improved support for custom character types
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/171). Thanks @alfps.
- Added an option to disable use of IOStreams when `FMT_USE_IOSTREAMS`
is defined as 0 before including `format.h`
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/205,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/208). Thanks @JodiTheTigger.
- Improved detection of `isnan`, `isinf` and `signbit`.
## Optimization
- Made formatting of user-defined types more efficient with a custom
stream buffer (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/92,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/230). Thanks @NotImplemented.
- Further improved performance of `fmt::Writer` on integer formatting
and fixed a minor regression. Now it is \~7% faster than
`karma::generate` on Karma\'s benchmark
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/186).
- \[Breaking\] Reduced [compiled code
size](https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt#compile-time-and-code-bloat)
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/143,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/149).
## Distribution
- \[Breaking\] Headers are now installed in
`${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/include/cppformat`
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/178). Thanks @jackyf.
- \[Breaking\] Changed the library name from `format` to `cppformat`

- Added [changelog](https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/blob/master/ChangeLog.md)
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/103).
# 1.0.0 - 2015-02-05
- Add support for a header-only configuration when `FMT_HEADER_ONLY`
is defined before including `format.h`:
```c++
#define FMT_HEADER_ONLY
#include "format.h"
```
- Compute string length in the constructor of `BasicStringRef` instead
of the `size` method
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/79). This eliminates
size computation for string literals on reasonable optimizing
compilers.
- Fix formatting of types with overloaded `operator <<` for
`std::wostream` (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/86):
```c++
fmt::format(L"The date is {0}", Date(2012, 12, 9));
```
- Fix linkage of tests on Arch Linux
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/89).
- Allow precision specifier for non-float arguments
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/90):
```c++
fmt::print("{:.3}\n", "Carpet"); // prints "Car"
```
- Fix build on Android NDK (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/93).
- Improvements to documentation build procedure.
- Remove `FMT_SHARED` CMake variable in favor of standard [BUILD_SHARED_LIBS](
http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.0/variable/BUILD_SHARED_LIBS.html).
- 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:
```c++
fmt::Writer w;
```
New code:
```c++
fmt::MemoryWriter w;
```
If you pass `fmt::Writer` by reference, you can continue to do so:
```c++
void f(fmt::Writer &w);
```
This doesn\'t affect the formatting API.
- Support for custom memory allocators
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/69)
- Formatting functions now accept [signed char]{.title-ref} and
[unsigned char]{.title-ref} strings as arguments
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/73):
```c++
auto s = format("GLSL version: {}", glGetString(GL_VERSION));
```
- Reduced code bloat. According to the new [benchmark
results](https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt#compile-time-and-code-bloat),
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](http://ryan-roemer.github.io/sphinx-bootstrap-theme/):

# 0.11.0 - 2014-08-21
- Safe printf implementation with a POSIX extension for positional
arguments:
```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
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/55):
```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:
```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:
```c++
std::string s = format("The answer is {}.", 42);
```
Previously it required 2 function calls:
```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`:
```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
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/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):
```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`:
```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:
```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`:
```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
```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 \'\<filename\>\': 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.
