libplist 2.7.0

Posted on by @nikias

libplist 2.7.0 has been released.

Changes

  • Add plist_new_unix_date, plist_get_unix_date_val, plist_set_unix_date_val functions that work with int64_t values representing a UNIX timestamp instead of using the 'MAC epoch'. These new functions should be used instead of plist_new_date, plist_get_date_val, and plist_set_date_val, which are now marked deprecated and might be removed in a future version of libplist.
  • Allow building the library without tool(s)
  • Switch to more generic global initializer method
  • json: Allow e+/E+ in exponent as per RFC 8259
  • C++: Add more convenience functions to the interface
  • C++: Add more type variants to different constructors and operators

Bugfixes

  • Fix segmentation fault when calling plist_sort() on an empty dictionary
  • Fix compilation on MSVC
  • C++: Fix bug in internal helper function of Array class
  • C++: Fix String::GetValue memory leaking and support assignment of const char*
