  • The project has been renamed from C++ Format (cppformat) to fmt for consistency with the used namespace and macro prefix (#307). Library headers are now located in the fmt directory:

    #include "fmt/format.h"

    Including format.h from the cppformat directory is deprecated but works via a proxy header which will be removed in the next major version.The documentation is now available at http://fmtlib.net.

  • Added support for strftime-like date and time formatting (#283):

    #include "fmt/time.h"
    
    std::time_t t = std::time(nullptr);
    // Prints "The date is 2016-04-29." (with the current date)
    fmt::print("The date is {:%Y-%m-%d}.", *std::localtime(&t));
  • std::ostream support including formatting of user-defined types that provide overloaded operator<< has been moved to fmt/ostream.h:

    #include "fmt/ostream.h"
    
    class Date {
      int year_, month_, day_;
    public:
      Date(int year, int month, int day) : year_(year), month_(month), day_(day) {}
    
      friend std::ostream &operator<<(std::ostream &os, const Date &d) {
        return os << d.year_ << '-' << d.month_ << '-' << d.day_;
      }
    };
    
    std::string s = fmt::format("The date is {}", Date(2012, 12, 9));
    // s == "The date is 2012-12-9"
  • Added support for custom argument formatters (#235).

  • Added support for locale-specific integer formatting with the n specifier (#305):

    std::setlocale(LC_ALL, "en_US.utf8");
    fmt::print("cppformat: {:n}\n", 1234567); // prints 1,234,567
  • Sign is now preserved when formatting an integer with an incorrect printf format specifier (#265):

    fmt::printf("%lld", -42); // prints -42

    Note that it would be an undefined behavior in std::printf.

  • Length modifiers such as ll are now optional in printf formatting functions and the correct type is determined automatically (#255):

    fmt::printf("%d", std::numeric_limits<long long>::max());

    Note that it would be an undefined behavior in std::printf.

  • Added initial support for custom formatters (#231).
