1.4.0

<< recommended changes >>

• Define MSGPACK_DISABLE_LEGACY_NIL, then msgpack::type::nil is replaced by with msgpack::type::nil_t (#408, #411, #412).
  Replace msgpack::type::nil with msgpack::type::nil_t in client codes.
  msgpack::type::nil will be removed on the version 2.0.0.

• Define MSGPACK_DISABLE_LEGACY_CONVERT, then msgpack::object::convert(T*) is removed (#410).
  Replace calling msgpack::bojectconvert(T*) with msgpack::bojectconvert(T&) in client codes as follows:

   int i;
   obj.convert(&i); // before

   int i;
   obj.convert(i);  // after

  msgpack::object::convert(T*) will be removed on the version 2.0.0.

Define the macros above as follows when you compile C++ codes that use msgpack-c:

g++ -Ipath_to_msgpack/include -DMSGPACK_DISABLE_LEGACY_NIL -DMSGPACK_DISABLE_LEGACY_CONVERT your_code.cpp

You can compile existing codes without defining macros above but I recommend defining them and updating your codes to fix the issues #408, #411, #412, #399, and #410. It is also a good preparation for the version 2.0.0.
