1.5.1

• Evacuates global scope
• Small performance bump
• Clearer constants, stored in a separate script

1.5.0

• Adds "diffs only" writing mode
• Adds ELEPHANT_DEFAULT_WRITE_DIFFS_ONLY to control default behaviour for the above

Thanks @gl326 !

1.4.0

• Fixes circular reference deserialization when using ElephantFromJSON()
• ElephantFromJSON() now executes callbacks
• Fixes post-read callback execution for ElephantRead()
• Fixes memory leak in ElephantRead()
• ElephantDuplicate() now respects schemas and executes callbacks
• Fixes crash when Elephant's exclude array is very long
• Fixes ElephantDuplicate() using clashing globals
• Removes all uses of lb_sort_ascending
• Makes custom buffer constants slightly safer in the long-run
• Fixes obscure crash when forcing to a schema without metadata

1.3.0

Addresses:
#10 - Elephant can now serialize to JSON instead of its own binary format

 

Additionally:

• Version number is now stored, and ELEPHANT_SCHEMA_VERSION is set appropriately, even if verbose mode is forced on

Known Issues:

• This version was published for GMS2.3 and as a result array_sort() used an old sorting constant. You will need to replace lb_sort_ascending as per this pull request if you intend to use Elephant with newer versions of GameMaker

1.2.1

Address:
#9 - Schema version can now be forced by setting ELEPHANT_FORCE_VERSION in the base ELEPHANT_SCHEMA struct
#11 - Verbose serialization can be forced by setting ELEPHANT_VERSION_VERBOSE in schema version structs

Additionally:

• ELEPHANT_VERBOSE_EXCLUDE allows for unwanted variables to not be serialized at all

1.2.0

Addresses:
#4 - Adds a Notes files with documentation
#6 - Added ElephantDuplicate()

Additionally:

• Fixes incorrect header string and adds footer to format
• Improves function JSDoc headers
• Changes callback state macro behaviour slightly (now returning undefined when outside an Elephant function call)

1.1.0

Addresses:
#1 - Added ELEPHANT_SCHEMA_VERSION which returns the schema version that's being used for a given struct. This is especially useful when used with callbacks. This macro works when both reading and writing
#5 - Circular references are now correctly serialized and deserialized

Additionally:

• Miscellaneous bug fixes
