This release implements with **[CBOR](http://cbor.io)** and **[MessagePack](http://msgpack.org)** two **binary serialization/deserialization formats**. It further contains some small fixes and improvements. The fixes are backwards compatible.

- :sparkles: The library can now read and write the binary formats **[CBOR](http://cbor.io)** (Concise Binary Object Representation) and **[MessagePack](http://msgpack.org)**. Both formats are aimed to produce a very compact representation of JSON which can be parsed very efficiently. See the  [README file](https://github.com/nlohmann/json#binary-formats-cbor-and-messagepack) for more information and examples.
- :fire: simplified the iteration implementation allowing to remove dozens of lines of code
- :bug: fixed an [integer overflow error](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/issues/389) detected by [Google's OSS-Fuzz](https://github.com/google/oss-fuzz)
- :bug: suppressed documentation warnings inside the library to facilitate compilation with `-Wdocumentation`
- :bug: fixed an overflow detection error in the number parser
- :memo: updated [contribution guidelines](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/blob/develop/.github/CONTRIBUTING.md) to a list of frequentely asked features that will most likely be never added to the library
- :memo:  added a **table of contents** to the [README file](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/blob/develop/README.md) to add some structure
- :memo: mentioned the many [examples](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/tree/develop/doc/examples) and the [documentation](https://nlohmann.github.io/json/) in the [README file]()
- :hammer: split [unit tests](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/tree/develop/test/src) into individual independent binaries to speed up compilation and testing
- :white_check_mark: the test suite now contains **11201886** tests
