# 12.0.0 - 2025-09-17
- Optimized the default floating point formatting
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/3675,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/4516). In particular, formatting a
`double` with format string compilation into a stack allocated buffer is
more than 60% faster in version 12.0 compared to 11.2 according to
[dtoa-benchmark](https://github.com/fmtlib/dtoa-benchmark):
```
Function Time (ns) Speedup
fmt11 34.471 1.00x
fmt12 21.000 1.64x
```
- Added `constexpr` support to `fmt::format`. For example:
```c++
#include
using namespace fmt::literals;
std::string s = fmt::format(""_cf, 42);
```
now works at compile time provided that `std::string` supports `constexpr`
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/3403,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/4456). Thanks @msvetkin.
- Added `FMT_STATIC_FORMAT` that allows formatting into a string of the exact
required size at compile time.
For example:
```c++
#include
constexpr auto s = FMT_STATIC_FORMAT("{}", 42);
```
compiles to just
```s
__ZL1s:
.asciiz "42"
```
It can be accessed as a C string with `s.c_str()` or as a string view with
`s.str()`.
- Improved C++20 module support
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/4451,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/4459,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/4476,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/4488,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/4491,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/4495).
Thanks @arBmind, @tkhyn, @Mishura4, @anonymouspc and @autoantwort.
- Switched to using estimated display width in precision. For example:
```c++
fmt::print("|{:.4}|\n|1234|\n", "π±π±π±");
```
prints

because `π±` has an estimated width of 2
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/4272,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/4443,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/4475).
Thanks @nikhilreddydev and @localspook.

(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/4487,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/4490). Thanks @toprakmurat.
- Fixed an ambiguity between `std::reference_wrapper` and `format_as`
formatters (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/4424,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/4434). Thanks @jeremy-rifkin.
- Removed the following deprecated APIs:
- `has_formatter`: use `is_formattable` instead,
- `basic_format_args::parse_context_type`,
`basic_format_args::formatter_type` and similar aliases in context types,
- wide stream overload of `fmt::printf`,
- wide stream overloads of `fmt::print` that take text styles,
- `is_*char` traits,
- `fmt::localtime`.
- Deprecated wide overloads of `fmt::fprintf` and `fmt::sprintf`.
- Improved diagnostics for the incorrect usage of `fmt::ptr`
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/4453). Thanks @TobiSchluter.
- Made handling of ANSI escape sequences more efficient
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/4511,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/4528).

- Fixed compatibility with WASI (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/4496,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/4497). Thanks @whitequark.
- Fixed `back_insert_iterator` detection, preventing a fallback on slower path
that handles arbitrary iterators (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/4454).
- Fixed handling of invalid glibc `FILE` buffers
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/4469).
- Added `wchar_t` support to the `std::byte` formatter
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/4479,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/4480). Thanks @phprus.
- Changed component prefix from `fmt-` to `fmt_` for compatibility with
NSIS/CPack on Windows, e.g. `fmt-doc` changed to `fmt_doc`
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/4441,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/4442). Thanks @n-stein.
- Added the `FMT_CUSTOM_ASSERT_FAIL` macro to simplify providing a custom
`fmt::assert_fail` implementation (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/4505).
Thanks @HazardyKnusperkeks.
- Switched to `FMT_THROW` on reporting format errors so that it can be
overriden by users when exceptions are disabled
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/4521). Thanks @HazardyKnusperkeks.
- Improved master project detection and disabled install targets when using
{fmt} as a subproject by default (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/4536).
Thanks @crueter.
- Made various code improvements

(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/4537). Thanks @uilianries.
- Removed Bazel files to avoid issues with downstream packaging
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/4530). Thanks @mering.

@mattiasljungstrom and @FatihBAKIR.
# 11.2.0 - 2025-05-03
- Added the `s` specifier for `std::error_code`. It allows formatting an error
message as a string. For example:
```c++
#include
int main() {
auto ec = std::make_error_code(std::errc::no_such_file_or_directory);
fmt::print("{:s}\n", ec);
}
```
prints
```
No such file or directory
```
(The actual message is platform-specific.)
- Fixed formatting of `std::chrono::local_time` and `tm`
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/3815,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/4350).
For example ([godbolt](https://www.godbolt.org/z/8o4b1PPn5)):
```c++
#include
int main() {
std::chrono::zoned_time zt(
std::chrono::current_zone(),
std::chrono::system_clock::now());
fmt::print("{}", zt.get_local_time());
}
```
is now formatted consistenly across platforms.

```c++
fmt::print("{:Z}", std::chrono::local_seconds());
```
now gives a compile-time error.

~60% on clang (x86-64).
GCC:
- Before: 161 instructions of which 105 are in reusable functions
([godbolt](https://www.godbolt.org/z/s9bGoo4ze)).
- After: 116 instructions of which 60 are in reusable functions
([godbolt](https://www.godbolt.org/z/r7GGGxMs6)).

```c++
#include
void write_text(fmt::writer w) {
w.print("The answer is {}.", 42);
}
int main() {
// Write to FILE.
write_text(stdout);
// Write to fmt::ostream.
auto f = fmt::output_file("myfile");
write_text(f);
// Write to std::string.
auto sb = fmt::string_buffer();
write_text(sb);
std::string s = sb.str();
}
```
- Added width and alignment support to the formatter of `std::error_code`.
- Made `std::expected` formattable

https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/4148).
For example ([godbolt](https://www.godbolt.org/z/hrj5c6G86)):
```c++
fmt::print("{}", std::expected());
```
prints
```
expected()
```
Thanks @phprus.

- Made `fmt::context` iterator compatible with STL algorithms that rely on
iterator category (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/4079).
# 11.0.1 - 2024-07-05
- Fixed version number in the inline namespace
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/4047).
- Fixed disabling Unicode support via CMake
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/4051).
- Fixed deprecated `visit_format_arg` (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/4043).
Thanks @nebkat.
- Fixed handling of a sign and improved the `std::complex` formater
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/4034,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/4050). Thanks @tesch1 and @phprus.
- Fixed ADL issues in `fmt::printf` when using C++20
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/4042). Thanks @toge.
- Removed a redundant check in the formatter for `std::expected`
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/4040). Thanks @phprus.
# 11.0.0 - 2024-07-01
- Added `fmt/base.h` which provides a subset of the API with minimal include
dependencies and enough functionality to replace all uses of the `printf`
family of functions. This brings the compile time of code using {fmt} much
closer to the equivalent `printf` code as shown on the following benchmark
that compiles 100 source files:
| Method | Compile Time (s) |
|--------------|------------------|
| printf | 1.6 |
| IOStreams | 25.9 |
| fmt 10.x | 19.0 |
| fmt 11.0 | 4.8 |
| tinyformat | 29.1 |
| Boost Format | 55.0 |
This gives almost 4x improvement in build speed compared to version 10.
Note that the benchmark is purely formatting code and includes. In real
projects the difference from `printf` will be smaller partly because common
standard headers will be included in almost any translation unit (TU) anyway.
In particular, in every case except `printf` above ~1s is spent in total on
including `` in all TUs.
- Optimized includes in other headers such as `fmt/format.h` which is now
roughly equivalent to the old `fmt/core.h` in terms of build speed.
- Migrated the documentation at https://fmt.dev/ from Sphinx to MkDocs.
- Improved C++20 module support
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/3990,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3991,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/3993,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3994,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3997,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3998,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/4004,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/4005,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/4006,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/4013,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/4027,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/4029). In particular, native CMake support
for modules is now used if available. Thanks @yujincheng08 and @matt77hias.
- Added an option to replace standard includes with `import std` enabled via
the `FMT_IMPORT_STD` macro (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/3921,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3928). Thanks @matt77hias.
- Exported `fmt::range_format`, `fmt::range_format_kind` and
`fmt::compiled_string` from the `fmt` module
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3970,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3999).
Thanks @matt77hias and @yujincheng08.
- Improved integration with stdio in `fmt::print`, enabling direct writes
into a C stream buffer in common cases. This may give significant
performance improvements ranging from tens of percent to [2x](
https://stackoverflow.com/a/78457454/471164) and eliminates dynamic memory
allocations on the buffer level. It is currently enabled for built-in and
string types with wider availability coming up in future releases.
For example, it gives ~24% improvement on a [simple benchmark](
https://isocpp.org/files/papers/P3107R5.html#perf) compiled with Apple clang
version 15.0.0 (clang-1500.1.0.2.5) and run on macOS 14.2.1:
```
-------------------------------------------------------
Benchmark Time CPU Iterations
-------------------------------------------------------
printf 81.8 ns 81.5 ns 8496899
fmt::print (10.x) 63.8 ns 61.9 ns 11524151
fmt::print (11.0) 51.3 ns 51.0 ns 13846580
```
- Improved safety of `fmt::format_to` when writing to an array
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3805).
For example ([godbolt](https://www.godbolt.org/z/cYrn8dWY8)):
```c++
auto volkswagen = char[4];
auto result = fmt::format_to(volkswagen, "elephant");
```
no longer results in a buffer overflow. Instead the output will be truncated
and you can get the end iterator and whether truncation occurred from the
`result` object. Thanks @ThePhD.
- Enabled Unicode support by default in MSVC, bringing it on par with other
compilers and making it unnecessary for users to enable it explicitly.
Most of {fmt} is encoding-agnostic but this prevents mojibake in places
where encoding matters such as path formatting and terminal output.
You can control the Unicode support via the CMake `FMT_UNICODE` option.
Note that some {fmt} packages such as the one in vcpkg have already been
compiled with Unicode enabled.

https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3900). Thanks @phprus.
- Added a formatter for `std::type_info`
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3978). Thanks @matt77hias.
- Specialized `formatter` for `std::basic_string` types with custom traits
and allocators (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/3938,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3943). Thanks @dieram3.
- Added formatters for `std::chrono::day`, `std::chrono::month`,
`std::chrono::year` and `std::chrono::year_month_day`
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/3758,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/3772,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3906,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3913). For example:
```c++
#include
#include
int main() {
fmt::print(fg(fmt::color::green), "{}\n", std::chrono::day(7));
}
```
prints a green day:
Thanks @zivshek.

- Made `fmt::isnan` not trigger floating-point exception for NaN values
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/3948,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3951). Thanks @alexdewar.
- Removed dependency on `` for `std::allocator_traits` when possible
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3804). Thanks @phprus.
- Enabled compile-time checks in formatting functions that take text colors and
styles.

# 10.2.1 - 2024-01-04
- Fixed ABI compatibility with earlier 10.x versions
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/3785,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3786). Thanks @saraedum.
# 10.2.0 - 2024-01-01
- Added support for the `%j` specifier (the number of days) for
`std::chrono::duration` (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/3643,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3732). Thanks @intelfx.
- Added support for the chrono suffix for days and changed
the suffix for minutes from "m" to the correct "min"
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/3662,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3664).
For example ([godbolt](https://godbolt.org/z/9KhMnq9ba)):
```c++
#include
int main() {
fmt::print("{}\n", std::chrono::days(42)); // prints "42d"
}
```
Thanks @Richardk2n.
- Fixed an overflow in `std::chrono::time_point` formatting with large dates
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/3725,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3727). Thanks @cschreib.
- Added a formatter for `std::source_location`
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3730).
For example ([godbolt](https://godbolt.org/z/YajfKjhhr)):
```c++
#include
#include
int main() {
fmt::print("{}\n", std::source_location::current());
}
```
prints
```
/app/example.cpp:5:51: int main()
```
Thanks @felix642.
- Added a formatter for `std::bitset`
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3660).
For example ([godbolt](https://godbolt.org/z/bdEaGeYxe)):
```c++
#include
#include
int main() {
fmt::print("{}\n", std::bitset<6>(42)); // prints "101010"
}
```
Thanks @muggenhor.
- Added an experimental `nested_formatter` that provides an easy way of
applying a formatter to one or more subobjects while automatically handling
width, fill and alignment. For example:
```c++
#include
struct point {
double x, y;
};
template <>
struct fmt::formatter : nested_formatter {
auto format(point p, format_context& ctx) const {
return write_padded(ctx, [=](auto out) {
return format_to(out, "({}, {})", nested(p.x), nested(p.y));
});
}
};
int main() {
fmt::print("[{:>20.2f}]", point{1, 2});
}
```
prints
```
[ (1.00, 2.00)]
```
- Added the generic representation (`g`) to `std::filesystem::path`
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/3715,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3729). For example:
```c++
#include
#include
int main() {
fmt::print("{:g}\n", std::filesystem::path("C:\\foo"));
}
```
prints `"C:/foo"` on Windows.
Thanks @js324.
- Made `format_as` work with references
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3739). Thanks @tchaikov.
- Fixed formatting of invalid UTF-8 with precision
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/3284).
- Fixed an inconsistency between `fmt::to_string` and `fmt::format`
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/3684).
- Disallowed unsafe uses of `fmt::styled`
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/3625):
```c++
auto s = fmt::styled(std::string("dangle"), fmt::emphasis::bold);
fmt::print("{}\n", s); // compile error
```
Pass `fmt::styled(...)` as a parameter instead.
- Added a null check when formatting a C string with the `s` specifier
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/3706).
- Disallowed the `c` specifier for `bool`
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/3726,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3734). Thanks @js324.
- Made the default formatting unlocalized in `fmt::ostream_formatter` for
consistency with the rest of the library
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/3460).
- Fixed localized formatting in bases other than decimal
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/3693,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3750). Thanks @js324.
- Fixed a performance regression in experimental `fmt::ostream::print`
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/3674).
- Added synchronization with the underlying output stream when writing to
the Windows console
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3668,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/3688,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3689).
Thanks @Roman-Koshelev and @dimztimz.
- Changed to only export `format_error` when {fmt} is built as a shared
library (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/3626,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3627). Thanks @phprus.
- Made `fmt::streamed` `constexpr`.
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3650). Thanks @muggenhor.
- Made `fmt::format_int` `constexpr`
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/4031,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/4032). Thanks @dixlorenz.
- Enabled `consteval` on older versions of MSVC
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3757). Thanks @phprus.
- Added an option to build without `wchar_t` support on Windows
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/3631,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3636). Thanks @glebm.
- Improved build and CI configuration
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3679,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/3701,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3702,

# 10.0.0 - 2023-05-09
- Replaced Grisu with a new floating-point formatting algorithm for
given precision (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/3262,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2750,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3269,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3276). The new algorithm
is based on Dragonbox already used for the shortest representation
and gives substantial performance improvement:

- Red: new algorithm
- Green: new algorithm with `FMT_USE_FULL_CACHE_DRAGONBOX` defined
to 1
- Blue: old algorithm
Thanks @jk-jeon.
- Replaced `snprintf`-based hex float formatter with an internal
implementation (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3179,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3203). This removes the
last usage of `s(n)printf` in {fmt}. Thanks @phprus.
- Fixed alignment of floating-point numbers with localization
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/3263,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3272). Thanks @ShawnZhong.
- Made handling of `#` consistent with `std::format`.
- Improved C++20 module support
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3134,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3254,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3386,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3387,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3388,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3392,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3397,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3399,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3400).
Thanks @laitingsheng, @Orvid and @DanielaE.
- Switched to the [modules CMake library](https://github.com/vitaut/modules)
which allows building {fmt} as a C++20 module with clang:
CXX=clang++ cmake -DFMT_MODULE=ON .
make
- Made `format_as` work with any user-defined type and not just enums.
For example ([godbolt](https://godbolt.org/z/b7rqhq5Kh)):
```c++
#include
struct floaty_mc_floatface {
double value;
};
auto format_as(floaty_mc_floatface f) { return f.value; }
int main() {
fmt::print("{:8}\n", floaty_mc_floatface{0.42}); // prints " 0.42"
}
```
- Removed deprecated implicit conversions for enums and conversions to
primitive types for compatibility with `std::format` and to prevent
potential ODR violations. Use `format_as` instead.
- Added support for fill, align and width to the time point formatter
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/3237,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3260,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3275). For example
([godbolt](https://godbolt.org/z/rKP6MGz6c)):
```c++
#include
int main() {
// prints " 2023"
fmt::print("{:>8%Y}\n", std::chrono::system_clock::now());
}
```
Thanks @ShawnZhong.
- Implemented formatting of subseconds
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2207,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/3117,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3115,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3143,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3144,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3349). For example
([godbolt](https://godbolt.org/z/45738oGEo)):
```c++
#include
int main() {
// prints 01.234567
fmt::print("{:%S}\n", std::chrono::microseconds(1234567));
}
```
Thanks @patrickroocks @phprus and @BRevzin.

(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/3220,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3222). Thanks @phprus.
- Improved validation of format specifiers for `std::chrono::duration`
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/3219,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3232). Thanks @ShawnZhong.
- Fixed formatting of time points before the epoch
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/3117,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3261). For example
([godbolt](https://godbolt.org/z/f7bcznb3W)):
```c++
#include
int main() {
auto t = std::chrono::system_clock::from_time_t(0) -
std::chrono::milliseconds(250);
fmt::print("{:%S}\n", t); // prints 59.750000000
}
```
Thanks @ShawnZhong.
- Experimental: implemented glibc extension for padding seconds,
minutes and hours
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2959,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3271). Thanks @ShawnZhong.
- Added a formatter for `std::exception`
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2977,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/3012,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3062,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3076,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3119). For example
([godbolt](https://godbolt.org/z/8xoWGs9e4)):
```c++
#include
#include
int main() {
try {
std::vector().at(0);
} catch(const std::exception& e) {
fmt::print("{}", e);
}
}
```
prints:
vector::_M_range_check: __n (which is 0) >= this->size() (which is 0)
on libstdc++. Thanks @zach2good and @phprus.
- Moved `std::error_code` formatter from `fmt/os.h` to `fmt/std.h`.
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3125). Thanks @phprus.
- Added formatters for standard container adapters:
`std::priority_queue`, `std::queue` and `std::stack`
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/3215,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3279). For example
([godbolt](https://godbolt.org/z/74h1xY9qK)):
```c++
#include
#include
#include
int main() {
auto s = std::stack>();
for (auto b: {true, false, true}) s.push(b);
fmt::print("{}\n", s); // prints [true, false, true]
}
```
Thanks @ShawnZhong.
- Added a formatter for `std::optional` to `fmt/std.h`

```c++
#include
int main() {
using namespace fmt::literals;
constexpr size_t n = fmt::formatted_size("{}"_cf, 42);
fmt::print("{}\n", n); // prints 2
}
```

# 9.0.0 - 2022-07-04
- Switched to the internal floating point formatter for all decimal
presentation formats. In particular this results in consistent
rounding on all platforms and removing the `s[n]printf` fallback for
decimal FP formatting.
- Compile-time floating point formatting no longer requires the
header-only mode. For example
([godbolt](https://godbolt.org/z/G37PTeG3b)):
```c++
#include
#include
consteval auto compile_time_dtoa(double value) -> std::array {
auto result = std::array();
fmt::format_to(result.data(), FMT_COMPILE("{}"), value);
return result;
}
constexpr auto answer = compile_time_dtoa(0.42);
```
works with the default settings.
- Improved the implementation of
[Dragonbox](https://github.com/jk-jeon/dragonbox), the algorithm
used for the default floating-point formatting
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2713,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2750). Thanks @jk-jeon.
- Made `fmt::to_string` work with `__float128`. This uses the internal
FP formatter and works even on system without `__float128` support
in `[s]printf`.
- Disabled automatic `std::ostream` insertion operator (`operator<<`)
discovery when `fmt/ostream.h` is included to prevent ODR
violations. You can get the old behavior by defining
`FMT_DEPRECATED_OSTREAM` but this will be removed in the next major
release. Use `fmt::streamed` or `fmt::ostream_formatter` to enable
formatting via `std::ostream` instead.
- Added `fmt::ostream_formatter` that can be used to write `formatter`
specializations that perform formatting via `std::ostream`. For
example ([godbolt](https://godbolt.org/z/5sEc5qMsf)):
```c++
#include
struct date {
int year, month, day;
friend std::ostream& operator<<(std::ostream& os, const date& d) {
return os << d.year << '-' << d.month << '-' << d.day;
}
};
template <> struct fmt::formatter : ostream_formatter {};
std::string s = fmt::format("The date is {}", date{2012, 12, 9});
// s == "The date is 2012-12-9"
```
- Added the `fmt::streamed` function that takes an object and formats
it via `std::ostream`. For example
([godbolt](https://godbolt.org/z/5G3346G1f)):
```c++
#include
#include
int main() {
fmt::print("Current thread id: {}\n",
fmt::streamed(std::this_thread::get_id()));
}
```
Note that `fmt/std.h` provides a `formatter` specialization for
`std::thread::id` so you don\'t need to format it via
`std::ostream`.
- Deprecated implicit conversions of unscoped enums to integers for
consistency with scoped enums.
- Added an argument-dependent lookup based `format_as` extension API
to simplify formatting of enums.
- Added experimental `std::variant` formatting support
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2941). For example
([godbolt](https://godbolt.org/z/KG9z6cq68)):
```c++
#include
#include
int main() {
auto v = std::variant(42);
fmt::print("{}\n", v);
}
```
prints:
variant(42)
Thanks @jehelset.
- Added experimental `std::filesystem::path` formatting support
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2865,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2902,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2917,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2918). For example
([godbolt](https://godbolt.org/z/o44dMexEb)):
```c++
#include
#include
int main() {
fmt::print("There is no place like {}.", std::filesystem::path("/home"));
}
```
prints:
There is no place like "/home".
Thanks @phprus.
- Added a `std::thread::id` formatter to `fmt/std.h`. For example
([godbolt](https://godbolt.org/z/j1azbYf3E)):
```c++
#include
#include
int main() {
fmt::print("Current thread id: {}\n", std::this_thread::get_id());
}
```
- Added `fmt::styled` that applies a text style to an individual
argument (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2793). For
example ([godbolt](https://godbolt.org/z/vWGW7v5M6)):
```c++
#include
#include
int main() {
auto now = std::chrono::system_clock::now();
fmt::print(
"[{}] {}: {}\n",
fmt::styled(now, fmt::emphasis::bold),
fmt::styled("error", fg(fmt::color::red)),
"something went wrong");
}
```
prints

Thanks @rbrugo.
- Made `fmt::print` overload for text styles correctly handle UTF-8
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2681,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2701). Thanks @AlexGuteniev.
- Fixed Unicode handling when writing to an ostream.
- Added support for nested specifiers to range formatting
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2673). For example
([godbolt](https://godbolt.org/z/xd3Gj38cf)):
```c++
#include
#include
int main() {
fmt::print("{::#x}\n", std::vector{10, 20, 30});
}
```
prints `[0xa, 0x14, 0x1e]`.
Thanks @BRevzin.
- Implemented escaping of wide strings in ranges
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2904). Thanks @phprus.
- Added support for ranges with `begin` / `end` found via the
argument-dependent lookup
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2807). Thanks @rbrugo.
- Fixed formatting of certain kinds of ranges of ranges
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2787). Thanks @BRevzin.
- Fixed handling of maps with element types other than `std::pair`
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2944). Thanks @BrukerJWD.
- Made tuple formatter enabled only if elements are formattable
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2939,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2940). Thanks @jehelset.
- Made `fmt::join` compatible with format string compilation
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2719,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2720). Thanks @phprus.
- Made compile-time checks work with named arguments of custom types
and `std::ostream` `print` overloads
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2816,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2817,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2819). Thanks @timsong-cpp.
- Removed `make_args_checked` because it is no longer needed for
compile-time checks
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2760). Thanks @phprus.
- Removed the following deprecated APIs: `_format`, `arg_join`, the
`format_to` overload that takes a memory buffer, `[v]fprintf` that
takes an `ostream`.
- Removed the deprecated implicit conversion of `[const] signed char*`
and `[const] unsigned char*` to C strings.
- Removed the deprecated `fmt/locale.h`.
- Replaced the deprecated `fileno()` with `descriptor()` in
`buffered_file`.
- Moved `to_string_view` to the `detail` namespace since it\'s an
implementation detail.
- Made access mode of a created file consistent with `fopen` by
setting `S_IWGRP` and `S_IWOTH`
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2733). Thanks @arogge.
- Removed a redundant buffer resize when formatting to `std::ostream`
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2842,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2843). Thanks @jcelerier.
- Made precision computation for strings consistent with width
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2888).
- Fixed handling of locale separators in floating point formatting
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2830).
- Made sign specifiers work with `__int128_t`
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2773).
- Improved support for systems such as CHERI with extra data stored in
pointers (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2932).
Thanks @davidchisnall.
- Improved documentation
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2706,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2712,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2789,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2803,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2805,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2815,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2924).
Thanks @BRevzin, @Pokechu22, @setoye, @rtobar, @rbrugo, @anoonD and
@leha-bot.
- Improved build configuration
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2766,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2772,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2836,

https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2914).
Thanks @kambala-decapitator, @mattiasljungstrom, @kieselnb, @nathannaveen
and @Vertexwahn.
- Fixed various warnings and compilation issues
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2408,

# 8.1.1 - 2022-01-06
- Restored ABI compatibility with version 8.0.x
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2695,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2696). Thanks @saraedum.
- Fixed chrono formatting on big endian systems
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2698,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2699).
Thanks @phprus and @xvitaly.
- Fixed a linkage error with mingw
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2691,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2692). Thanks @rbberger.
# 8.1.0 - 2022-01-02
- Optimized chrono formatting
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2500,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2537,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2541,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2544,

https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2633,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2670,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2671).
Processing of some specifiers such as `%z` and `%Y` is now up to
10-20 times faster, for example on GCC 11 with libstdc++:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Benchmark Before After
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
FMTFormatter_z 261 ns 26.3 ns
FMTFormatterCompile_z 246 ns 11.6 ns
FMTFormatter_Y 263 ns 26.1 ns
FMTFormatterCompile_Y 244 ns 10.5 ns
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks @phprus and @toughengineer.
- Implemented subsecond formatting for chrono durations
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2623). For example
([godbolt](https://godbolt.org/z/es7vWTETe)):
```c++
#include
int main() {
fmt::print("{:%S}", std::chrono::milliseconds(1234));
}
```
prints \"01.234\".
Thanks @matrackif.
- Fixed handling of precision 0 when formatting chrono durations
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2587,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2588). Thanks @lukester1975.
- Fixed an overflow on invalid inputs in the `tm` formatter
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2564). Thanks @phprus.
- Added `fmt::group_digits` that formats integers with a non-localized
digit separator (comma) for groups of three digits. For example
([godbolt](https://godbolt.org/z/TxGxG9Poq)):
```c++
#include
int main() {
fmt::print("{} dollars", fmt::group_digits(1000000));
}
```
prints \"1,000,000 dollars\".
- Added support for faint, conceal, reverse and blink text styles
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2394):
Thanks @benit8 and @data-man.
- Added experimental support for compile-time floating point
formatting (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2426,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2470). It is currently
limited to the header-only mode. Thanks @alexezeder.
- Added UDL-based named argument support to compile-time format string
checks (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2640,
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2649). For example
([godbolt](https://godbolt.org/z/ohGbbvonv)):
```c++
#include
int main() {
using namespace fmt::literals;
fmt::print("{answer:s}", "answer"_a=42);
}
```
gives a compile-time error on compilers with C++20 `consteval` and
non-type template parameter support (gcc 10+) because `s` is not a
valid format specifier for an integer.
Thanks @alexezeder.
- Implemented escaping of string range elements. For example
([godbolt](https://godbolt.org/z/rKvM1vKf3)):
```c++
#include
#include
int main() {
fmt::print("{}", std::vector{"\naan"});
}
```
is now printed as:
["\naan"]
instead of:
["
aan"]
- Added an experimental `?` specifier for escaping strings.
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2674). Thanks @BRevzin.
- Switched to JSON-like representation of maps and sets for
consistency with Python\'s `str.format`. For example
([godbolt](https://godbolt.org/z/seKjoY9W5)):
```c++
#include
#include
