bstring v1.1.0 Release Notes

Highlights

This release brings UTF-8 string manipulation support to bstring, with modules ported from the parent bstrlib project. The library can now handle Unicode text through the new utf8util and buniutil modules, enabled by default.

Also new in this release is fuzz testing infrastructure using LLVM's libFuzzer, which has already led to the discovery and fixing of memory safety issues in bUuDecodeEx and bNetStr2Bstr.

On the build system front, the legacy Autotools build has been fully removed. bstring now builds exclusively with Meson.

New build options

  • enable-utf8 (default: true) — Build the library with UTF-8 string manipulation support (utf8util, buniutil). Disable with -Denable-utf8=false if UTF-8 support is not needed, and you want a leaner library.
  • enable-fuzzing (default: false) — Build libFuzzer fuzz targets for the library. Requires Clang. Enable with -Denable-fuzzing=true.
  • enable-old-api (default: false) — Enable backward compatibility macros for the pre-1.0 API. By default, namespace-polluting legacy macros are disabled. Enable with -Denable-old-api=true if you depend on the old macro names.
