2.5.6

Improved documentation and readability.
No feature changes.

2.5.5

Added explanation of how to use with Swift.
Fixed test scripts.

2.5.4

Added encodeLatLonToSelectedMapcode as a convenience for languages that use the C library, but have difficulties dealing with multi-dimensional arrays (like Swift).

2.5.2

Added unit test for floating point error with code "40822.schol".
Added locale support.
Added many languages.
Hardened unit tests.

2.5.1

Updated unit test to compile with plain C and added some test cases.

2.5.0

Added support for getting territory names in English and local alphabets.
Added much improved unit test scripts to run gprof, valgrind, the CLang address sanitize
and compare the output of the new library with and older version.

2.4.0

Added scripts for Korean (Choson'gul / Hangul), Burmese, Khmer, Sinhalese, Thaana (Maldivan),
Chinese (Zhuyin, Bopomofo), Tifinagh (Berber), Tamil, Amharic, Telugu, Odia, Kannada, Gujarati.
Renamed constants to more correct terms (Malay to Malayalam, Hindi to Devanagari).
Added getAlphabetsForTerritory(t), returning the most commonly used alphabets for territory t.
Improved some characters for Arabic and Devanagari.
Fixed Bengali to also support Assamese.
Improved readability of implementation.
Added conditional define option for unittest: NO_POSIX_THREADS. Add -DNO_POSIX_THREADS
to your compiler command-line to not use pthreads.h, for example, on MSVC platforms.
Added conditional define option library: NO_FAST_ENCODE. Add -DNO_FAST_ENCODE to your
compiler command-line to not use the fast encoding (default is to use fast encoding). Using
fast encoding speeds up de encoding by a factor of 2. For normal use, there is no reason not
to use fast encoding.
Added parseMapcodeString to get individual mapcode elements, like the territory code,
the 'proper' mapcode (without the territory and precision extension) and the precision
extension parsed from a (user) input string.
Fixed bug in parseMapcodeString and compareWithMapcodeFormat.
