Stable release v2.0.0

This release introduces the use of std::filesystem to properly support Unicode paths on various platforms. Along the way some minor improvements have also occurred.

• Change the API to support filesystem::path if this feature is available #85 (Thank you dimitri-tdg!)
• Fix warning about enum value not handled in switch #84 (Thank you nasso!)
• Fix a wrong test on quaternion identity in the viewer app #88 (Thank you nasso!)
• Use inline constexpr for c++17 onwards #89

Note: The introduction of std::filesystem will cause build breaks around the parts of code dealing with filepaths, hence the major version bump here.

Stable release v1.2.0

This is primarily a bug fix release which addresses the following:

• Fix issue #67 (Validation warning when using some Accessor data types)
• Fix issue #68 (Allow application/gltf-buffer mimetype)
• Fix issue #72 (Building with newer versions of nlohmann/json)
• Fix issue #77 (Out of bounds access reading GLBs)

Additional changes include:

• Various minor clang-tidy cleanups
• Simplified window/console support for the viewer

Stable release v1.1.0

A new release primarily to support iostream loading/saving! The new overloads can be used when more flexibility is required beyond the already existing raw file loading/saving support.

Changes from v1.0.2

• fx-gltf: iostream loading/saving (originally from skrat: https://github.com/skrat)

• misc: updates for the included dependencies of CLI11, Catch2, nlohmann-json, and glTF-Sample-Models

Stable release v1.0.2

A minor release with some pretty important additions and fixes. First, CMake installation and dependency support was added! Secondly, a fuzzing run was performed and that exposed a buffer overrun around how .glb header data was handled. Please update to this version to pick up these critical fuzzing fixes.

Changes from v1.0.1

• fx-gltf: CMake support! (courtesy of Ansoulom)

• fx-gltf: Fix buffer overrun in GLB header parsing/processing (found through local AFL fuzzing run)

• viewer: fixes project file to properly copy the assets/shaders into the right location on build (vs 2017 and vs 2019)

• viewer: random assortment of cleanups and static analysis changes

• viewer: updates for d3dx12.h

• tests: stricter checks for certain parts of roundtrip tests

• misc: updates for the included dependencies of CLI11, Catch2, nlohmann-json, and glTF-Sample-Models

Stable release v1.0.1
