Release 0.99.8

Changes

• Visual Studio 2013 is no longer supported (jsonpath uses string initilizer lists)

• json_input_handler overloaded functions value(value,context)have been deprecated. Instead usestring_value(value,context), integer_value(value,context), uinteger_value(value,context), double_value(value,precision,context), bool_value(value,context)andnull_value(context)`

• json_output_handler overloaded functions value(value)have been deprecated. Instead usestring_value(value), integer_value(value), uinteger_value(value), double_value(value,precision=0), bool_value(value)andnull_value(context)`

• For consistency, the names jsoncons_ext/msgpack/message_pack.hpp,
  encode_message_pack and decode_message_pack have been deprecated and
  replaced with jsoncons_ext/msgpack/msgpack.hpp, encode_msgpack and decode_msg_pack

Bug fixes

• Fixed operator== throws when comparing a string against an empty object

• Fixed jsonpath issue with array 'length' (a.length worked but not a['length'])

• msgpack extension uses intrinsics for determing whether to swap bytes

New features

• Stream supported C++ values directly to JSON output, governed by json_stream_traits

• json::is() and json::as() accept template packs, which they forward to the
  json_type_traits is and as functions. This allows user defined json_type_traits
  implementations to resolve, for instance, a name into a C++ object looked up from a
  registry. See Type Extensibility, Example 2.

• jsonpath json_query now supports returning normalized paths (with
  optional return_type::path parameter)

• New jsonpath max and min aggregate functions over numeric values

• New json::merge function that inserts another json object's key-value pairs
  into a json object, if they don't already exist.

• New json::merge_or_update function that inserts another json object's key-value
  pairs into a json object, or assigns them if they already exist.
