- Fix misconversion of signed integer return value as unsigned

**Other changes:**

- Support `(void)` (empty) function signatures
- Disable unsafe compiler optimizations
- Various documentation improvements

#### Koffi 1.3.2

*Released on 2022-06-23*

**Major changes:**

- Expand and move documentation to https://koffi.dev/
- Support JS arrays and TypedArrays for pointer arguments (input, output and mixed)

**Other changes:**

- Convert NULL string pointers to null instead of crashing (return values, struct and array members, callbacks)
- Default to 'string' array hint for char, char16 and char16_t arrays
- Fix definition of long types on Windows x64 (LLP64 model)
- Restrict automatic string conversion to signed char types
- Detect floating-point ABI before using prebuilt binaries (ARM32, RISC-V)
- Forbid duplicate member names in struct types

### Koffi 1.2

#### Koffi 1.2.4

*Released on 2022-06-12*

- Windows ARM64 is now supported

#### Koffi 1.2.3

*Released on 2022-06-11*

#### Koffi 1.2.1

*Released on 2022-06-11*

This entry documents changes since version 1.1.0.

**New features:**

- JS functions can be used as C callbacks (cdecl, stdcall) on all platforms
- RISC-V 64 LP64D ABI is supported (LP64 is untested)
- Expose settings for memory usage of synchronous and asynchronous calls
- Transparent conversion between C buffers and strings
- Tentative support for Windows ARM64 (untested)

**Main fixes:**

- Fix excessive stack alignment of structs on x86 platforms
- Fix potential problems with big int64_t/uint64_t values
- Fix possible struct layout errors in push/pop code
- Fix alignment issues in ARM32 push code
- Fix incomplete/buggy support for HFA structs on ARM32 and ARM64
- Fix crashes on OpenBSD caused by missing MAP_STACK flag
- Fix non-sense "duplicate array type" errors
- Fix value `koffi.internal` to false in module (normal) builds
- Make sure we have a redzone below the stack for all architectures
- Use slower allocation for big objects instead of failing

# Todo list

The following features and improvements are planned, not necessarily in that order:

- Port Koffi to PowerPC (POWER9+) ISA and ABI
- Optimize passing of structs and arrays (with auto-generated JS)
- Automate Windows/AArch64 (qemu) and macOS/AArch64 (how? ... thanks Apple) tests
- Create a real-world example, using several libraries (Raylib, SQLite, libsodium) to illustrate various C API styles
- Add simple struct type parser
- Fix assembly unwind and CFI directives for better debugging experience
