The library can now also built with GCC 4.8. Though this compiler does not fully support C++11, it can successfully compile and run the test suite. Note that bug 57824 in GCC 4.8 still forbids to use multiline raw strings in arguments to macros. #1257
Added new function get_to to write a JSON value to a passed reference. The destination type is automatically derived which allows more succinct code compared to the get function. #1227 #1231
Bug Fixes
Fixed a bug in the CMake file that made target_link_libraries to not properly include nlohmann_json. #1243 #1245 #1260
Fixed a warning in MSVC 2017 complaining about a constexpr if. #1204 #1268 #1272
Fixed a bug that prevented compilation with ICPC. #755 #1222
Improved the SFINAE correctness to fix a bug in the conversion operator. #1237 #1238
Fixed a -Wctor-dtor-privacy warning. #1224
Fixed a warning on a lambda in unevaluated context. #1225 #1230
Fixed a bug introduced in version 3.2.0 where defining JSON_CATCH_USER led to duplicate macro definition of JSON_INTERNAL_CATCH. #1213 #1214
Fixed a bug that prevented compilation with Clang 3.4.2 in RHEL 7. #1179 #1249
Improvements
Added documentation on CMake integration of the library. #1270
Changed the CMake file to use find_package(nlohmann_json) without installing the library. #1202
Improved error messages in case operator[] is used with the wrong combination (json.exception.type_error.305) of JSON container type and argument type. Example: "cannot use operator[] with a string argument". #1220 #1221
Added a license and version information to the Meson build file. #1252
Removed static assertions to indicated missing to_json or from_json functions as such assertions do not play well with SFINAE. These assertions also led to problems with GMock. #960 #1212 #1228
The test suite now does not wait forever if run in a wrong directory and input files are not found. #1262
The test suite does not show deprecation warnings for deprecated functions which frequently led to confusion. #1271
Further Changes
GCC 4.8 and Xcode 10 were added to the continuous integration suite at Travis.
Added lgtm checks to pull requests.
Added tests for CMake integration. #1260
Deprecated functions
This release does not deprecate any functions. As an overview, the following functions have been deprecated in earlier versions and will be removed in the next major version (i.e., 4.0.0):
Function iterator_wrapper are deprecated. Please use the member function items() instead.
Functions friend std::istream& operator<<(basic_json&, std::istream&) and friend std::ostream& operator>>(const basic_json&, std::ostream&) are deprecated. Please use friend std::istream& operator>>(std::istream&, basic_json&) and friend operator<<(std::ostream&, const basic_json&) instead.
