Fixes

  • Fix user defined error callbacks, by Martin Hedenfalk
  • Include locale.h, required by setlocale(), patch by Diego Petteno

  • Fix segfault when processing a buffer that called cfg_include(), patch submitted by Carlo Marcelo Arenas Belon
  • Fix lexer match problem with unquoted strings ending in a slash. Fixed by Martin Hedenfalk, reported by Sylvain Bertrand.

v2.6 - 2007-10-13

Changes

  • added French translation contributed by Matthieu Sion

  • added build script and instructions for compiling with Mingw under Windows (contributed by Matthieu Sion)

  • now accepts a simplified list append syntax:

    option += "value" instead of option += {"value"}

  • added flag CFGF_NO_TITLE_DUPES: multiple section titles must be unique (duplicates raises an error, only applies to sections) (suggested by Brian Fallik)

  • remove obsolete confuse-config script in favour of pkg-config

  • windows build files now only in separate zip distribution

Fixes

  • fixed rpm builds, patch by Dan Lipsitt
  • always installs pkg-config .pc script
  • fixed a bug reported by Josh Kropf with single sections with titles
  • added patch that escapes values with quotes and backslashes when printing.
  • fixed a memory leak in default values for string lists, reported by Vineeth Neelakant.

v2.5 - 2004-10-17

Changes

  • added flag CFGF_NODEFAULT (option has no default value)
  • added a tutorial
  • updated autoconf stuff, libconfuse installs with appropriate suffix now
  • added data file for pkg-config (try pkg-config --libs libconfuse)
  • updated confuse-config script (now only installed if pkg-config not found)
  • added cfg_name() and cfg_opt_name() functions

Fixes

  • fixed cfg_set_validate_func() for sections, using the "|" syntax

v2.4 - 2004-08-09

Changes

  • added option type CFGT_PTR as a user-defined type

Fixes

  • fixed building of shared libraries

v2.3 - 2004-05-22

Changes

  • options passed to cfg_init() are now dynamically duplicated, so it is no longer necessary to declare the cfg_opt_t array static
  • added tests using 'check' (a unit testing framework for C)
  • added config script confuse-config

Fixes

  • fixes compilation errors with gcc < 3.3

v2.2 - 2003-09-25

Changes

  • Allows more characters in an unquoted string (thanks Mike)
  • added cfg_opt_get functions
  • added cfg_opt_size function
  • added support to print options to a file
  • added print callback function per option
  • simple options can be retrieved with the cfg_get functions (allows using the cfg_print function for simple values)
  • added validating callback function per option

v2.1 - 2003-07-13

Changes

  • Reversed logic in cfg_getXXX functions, they now abort if given an undeclared option name, and NULL/false if no value is set. Suggested by Ademar de Souza Reis Jr.
  • Sections without CFGF_MULTI flag now have default values
  • The cfg_getXXX functions now accept an extended syntax for the option name, try cfg_getxxx(cfg, "sectionname|optionname"). This way one doesn't have to first get the section with cfg_getsec().
  • Added project files for MS Visual C++ 6.0
  • Includes io.h on windows
  • Setting a list to the empty list in the config file now possible.
  • Appending to default values in a list is now OK.
  • Hexadecimal escape sequences allowed in double-quoted strings
  • Only include NLS support if gettext found in libc or preinstalled
  • Documented the cfg_setlist and cfg_addlist functions
  • The cfg_opt_setxxx functions no longer take a cfg_t? parameter (unused anyway)

Fixes

  • Fixed two more memory leaks. (val->section and cfg->filename)
  • Fixed unterminated string bug in replacement strndup function
  • Fixed initialization of default values for lists, when given a NULL string. Now initialized to the empty list. Noted by Juraj Variny.
  • Corrected line number with multi-line quoted strings
  • Fixed undetected /*comment*/ (ie, without space between /* and the text)
  • Forgot to fclose() include file after use, found by James Haley

v2.0 - 2003-04-29

NOTE: Compatibility with earlier versions is broken!

Changes

  • Changed cfg_flag_t from enum to int (should now compile with C++)
  • Variable number of arguments to functions: function types should no longer specify number of expected arguments in the initializer, the callback should instead check the argc variable.
  • Added documentation for the value parsing callback
  • Changed the definitions of cfg_func_t and cfg_callback_t, the cfg and option context are now both passed as parameters
  • Added a bunch of cfg_setXXX functions to set option values after parsing
  • Some types renamed for consistency (cfgopt_t to cfg_opt_t, cfgval_t to cfg_value_t, cfgbool_t to cfg_bool_t)
  • cfg_free_val() renamed to cfg_free_value()
  • Lexer symbols now uses prefix cfg_ to ease linking with other lexers
  • Sections with same title are always overwritten
  • Lists can now have (complete) default values in the form of a string that is parsed in the same way as the config file (see doc + examples)
  • Added support for building as a DLL on Windows
  • Included project files for Borland C++ Builder 6.0
  • Included project files for Dev-Cpp 5.0
  • Included project files for MS Visual Studio
  • Pre-built documentation now included in the source tarball

Fixes

  • Fixed the cfg_tilde_expand function
  • Fixed and extended the example programs
  • Forgot to close the file in cfg_parse()
  • Memory leaks fixed (checked with valgrind)

v1.2.3 - 2002-12-18

Changes

  • added callback support

Fixes

  • fixed segfault due to uninitialized user-defined error function

v1.2.2 - 2002-11-27

Changes

  • changed name to libConfuse (libcfg was way too common)
  • Don't build shared libraries by default (only static)
  • More Swedish translations
  • Implemented the cfg_free() function (previous versions had only a stub)
  • New function: cfg_free_val()
  • updated the manual
