v0.6.1

• Add a version config file for Cmake installation.

v0.6.0

• Implement ritsuko::hdf5::vls utilities to handle custom variable-length string arrays. This uses a dataset of pointers that reference a (possibly compressed) heap to efficiently store and retrieve variable length string arrays.
• Modify open_and_load_*_missing_placeholder_attribute() functions to return a std::optional<> instance, which is more idiomatic.
• Split check_missing_placeholder_attribute() function into numeric and string versions to separate the logic.

v0.5.2

• Added utilities for block-wise iteration over a N-dimensional array.
• Migrated utility to validate N-dimensional string datasets from takane.
• Added utility to quickly get dataset dimensions.
• Bugfix for variable-length string streaming.
• Migrated alabaster.base functions to incrementally scan for special values.

v0.5.1

• Force IEEE754 compliance during the float limit checks.

v0.5.0

• Added utilities to quickly load scalar, 1D numeric datasets.
• Extend the as_numeric_datatype to support non-fixed types.
• Avoid copying the PredTypes when we can just reference them.
• Check for string datatypes that use UTF-8-compatible encodings.
• Check for UTF-8 encoding in the miscellaneous attribute loaders.

v0.4.0

• Added utility to choose a HDF5 datatype from a C++ type.
• Added some small helpers for safely opening groups, files.
• Added wrapper function to load 1D numeric datasets/attributes.
• Added helper function to quickly load the missing placeholder.
• Added a class to stream numeric data from a 1D dataset.
• Checks for scalar datasets must now be performed separately.
• Stripped out all back-compatibility aliases.
• Replaced the string dataset loader with the Stream1dStringDataset.
• Minor bugfixes to headers and includes.
• Added more methods for validating and loading string datasets.
• Enable convenient extraction of attribute name via get_name.

v0.3.5

• Bugfix for null terminator during extraction of HDF5 name.

v0.3.4

• Added an overload for choosing the missing placeholder while skipping masked values.

v0.3.3

• Generalized the exceed_limits checkers to work on Attributes.
• Added get_scalar_attribute utility to... quickly get a scalar attribute.
• Added utility to load and iterate through non-scalar string attributes.

v0.3.2

• Migrated version string parser (and the associated Version class) from chihaya.
