Added
-----
- Support for using libloot as a dependency with CMake's FetchContent.
- The ``LIBLOOT_BUILD_SHARED`` CMake option as a libloot-specific alternative to
``BUILD_SHARED_LIBS``.
- Many new third-party dependencies, which are all managed by Cargo. Future
updates to direct dependencies will be recorded in this changelog: the Git
history of ``Cargo.lock`` will provide a record of changes to the whole
dependency tree.
Fixed
-----
- A linker error when trying to build libloot's tests against a static build
of libloot.
Changed
-------
- The release page now says that Windows 10 or later is required, up from
Windows 7 or later for previous releases. Nothing in this release should have
changed what versions of Windows libloot actually works on, but the release
text no longer claims Windows 7 support as it is impractical to target.
The claimed support for Windows 7 has probably been broken for at least a
year, and may have been broken since 2018, as libloot has been neither built
nor tested on Windows 7 in that time.
- Most of libloot has been reimplemented in Rust instead of C++, with the C++
API now a thin wrapper around the Rust implementation. The C++ ABI and the
documented C++ API are unchanged, though there have been changes to many of

name that is undefined, it now throws a :cpp:any:`loot::UndefinedGroupError`
instead of a ``std::invalid_argument``.
- Many exception messages have changed.
- The regex engine used to evaluate ``PluginMetadata`` name regexes has
changed. Unlike the old engine, the new engine is Unicode-aware,
locale-independent, and does not support POSIX character classes (e.g.
``[:alpha:]``).
- If building libloot from source, the C++ wrapper's source code is in the
``cpp`` subdirectory instead of the Git repository's or source archive's
root directory.
- The C++ code is now built with ``/MP`` set when using MSVC.
