v2.0.0

• Remove all default arguments - especially num_externals= for validate(), as this should be explicitly specified by the user.
• Soft-deprecated all of ParsedList's helper methods, users should just operate on the pointer directly.
• Expose DummyExternals for parsing when no external references are expected in parse().
• Added a buffer_size= option for byte reading in the JSON parsers.

v1.5.0

• Support ritsuko's custom variable length string arrays in HDF5.
• Added missing ritsuko header for JSON parsing.

v1.4.1

• Check for UTF-8 compatible string datatypes in HDF5.

v1.4.0

• Updated all function calls to use the ritsuko library.
• Throw an error if the top-level object is not a list.

v1.3.0

• Added specification v1.3, which aligns with the new HDF5 policy.
• Number vectors are now allowed to be represented as HDF5 integer datatypes, provided the integer can be fully represented by a
  double-precision float (i.e., 32-bit or lower).
• If a missing value placeholder for a number is NaN, all NaNs are to be considered missing. We no longer distinguish between the payloads of the NaNs.
• Improved the error messages.

v1.2.0

• Added a dependency on the ritsuko library for parsing, validation utilities.
• Placeholder should now have exactly the same HDF5 type as the data (except for strings).
• Minor clarifications to the README, mostly for the HDF5 specification.

v1.1.4

• Avoid problems with GNU major/minor function macros.

v1.1.3

• Actually return a ParsedList for the HDF5 parsers.

v1.1.2

• Process HDF5 vectors block-by-block for memory efficiency.

v1.1.1

• Conditionally include HDF5 parsers based on library availability.
