fkYAML version 0.3.14

[fktn-k]

Summary

This release adds the new header file fkyaml_fwd.hpp which provides the library's namespace macros and forward declarations of the library's API classes. With the file, you can reduce the compile time cost of including the full library header if some source files do not actually use the library features.
Furthermore, conversions of YAML nodes into arbitrary types have been much improved and a lot more STL container and scalar types have been supported for that purpose. See the API documentation page for more details.
Other changes are related to minor bug fixes in YAML scalar parsing and maintenance fixes for CI.
