+- Update to 1.7:
+  * Redesigned the directory-include feature to avoid using
+    platform-specific directory scanning code, and to fix a bug in
+    the handling of nested includes. The application can now do its
+    own directory scanning and/or wildcard expansion by registering
+    an include function.
+  * Added new CONFIG_OPTION_ALLOW_SCIENTIFIC_NOTATION to allow
+    either %f or %g-style formatting for floating point values.
+  * Improved the options APIs in both the C and C++ libraries.
+  * Improved the automatic conversion between int and int64 values.
+  * Fixed build errors caused by out-of-sync generated lexer and
+    parser source files.
+  * Added an API to clear an existing configuration.
+  * Fixed a problem where a group or list could be added to an array.
+  * Changed default float precision from 2 to 6.
+  * Modified grammar to allow trailing commas in lists and arrays.
+  * Removed logic that clipped negative values to 0 in (unsigned int)
+    cast operator.
+  * Updated manual and added a new chapter on other libconfig
+    implementations and bindings.
+  * Various internal code cleanup.
+  * Fixed failing unit tests.
+  * Upgraded VS2015 solution/project files to VS2017.
