Added variant_associative_view class #57
Added variant_sequential_view #46
Added string_view class
Added library class in order to load plugins at runtime #116

Add implicit conversion from a wrapped value inside a variant #48
Support for VS2017 #45
Added support for C++17 compilers #100, #105
Custom registered type name should be used in class templates as well #40
Added new comparators(>, <=, >=) for variant class #61
Add support for new property policy: 'as_reference_wrapper' #20

Added CI systems: Travis and Appveyor
Added static code analysis tool Codacy (cppcheck underlying)

Added variant::get_wrapped_value() & variant::extract_wrapped_value() functions
Donation button added:

class items inheritance of items, was not working when derived class had no items at all #89
Raw arrays by value, were not recognized by variant_sequential_view #125
Explicit unloading of libraries which contain registered RTTR types, lead to crash #113
Fix install handling for Mac/Linux #101, #102
Added support for variant properties #47
Typo in method name: rttr::constructor::get_instanciated_type() #83
Polymorphic assignment of raw pointer properties does not work #56
Comparison of raw pointer properties does not work #55
fix wrong enum conversion in variant function convert(bool* ok) #53
Fixed not correct handling of std::ref(int*) type in variant #37
Custom installation directory via CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX #34
Replaced default constructor binding from as_object to as_std_shared_ptr #14
Fixed missing invoke of dtor when type is pointer type #14
Do not search for boost, when not needed #93
type::is_array() now returns only true for C-style arrays, before that it also true for specialization of array_mapper types #144

the macro RTTR_DECLARE_TYPE was removed, so it is not necessary anymore to declare a type before using it (RTTR does still not require a compiler with rtti)
completely adjusted the registration API to be more future proof
added the possibility to register the access specifier of your class member
added the possibility to register free functions for constructors
the variant class has get comparison operators == and <
the variannt_array class is replaced by variant_array_view class
added the possibility to register default values to methods and constructors
added the possibilities to register names of method parameters
new policies for constructors were added
it's now possible to invoke methods while the instance is in a wrapped type, like std::shared_ptr
a lot of refactoring internally, almost every class was internally refactored
added several benchmarks to measure the performance impact from certain API calls of the library
adjusted documentation style to use cleaner and modern HTML5 style
rewritten the tutorial
switched from mercurial to git and uploaded the source code to github
made own website: www.rttr.org
