./textproc/xt-rs, Translate between serialized data formats

Branch: CURRENT, Version: 0.19.2, Package name: xt-rs-0.19.2, Maintainer: pin

xt is a cross-format translator for JSON, YAML, TOML, and MessagePack.

xt is built to do one thing well, and tries to maintain a minimal interface and
feature set.
The most common options are -t to specify an output format other than JSON, and
one or more files to read from rather than standard input.

Some of xt's notable features include:
- Automatic Format Detection
When the input format is not specified with the -f option, xt can detect it
automatically by file extension, or by examining the content of the input
stream itself.
- Multi-Document Support
With most output formats, xt can translate multiple input files, each
containing one or more independent documents, to a single output stream.
For example, a set of YAML files with documents separated by --- markers can
translate to a single stream of newline-delimited JSON objects. With format
detection enabled, xt can even translate input files in different formats to
a single output.
- Streaming Translation
xt can translate multi-document inputs from unbounded sources like shell
pipes with minimal buffering, while still supporting features like automatic
format detection. Streaming is enabled automatically whenever it's required.

Log message:
textproc/xt-rs: update to 0.19.2

v0.19.2 (2024-08-17)
Added
 - A manual page. This supplements the output of xt --help with additional \ 
detail and usage examples.
 - macOS and Linux binary releases. Starting with this release, official \ 
binaries for these platforms are now available through GitHub Releases, and can \ 
be installed through a custom Homebrew tap. See the README for details.

Changed
 - The formatting of xt's help output has been updated to more closely match \ 
that of the manual page.

Log message:
textproc/xt-rs: update to 0.19.1

v0.19.1 (2024-07-25)
Fixed
 - Potential quadratic behavior in YAML handling. This version of xt upgrades to
   the latest version of the third-party unsafe-libyaml library, which plays a
   critical role in xt's YAML support. The upgrade fixes performance issues on
   YAML documents with unusually deep collection nesting.

Changed
 - This version of xt cleans up some unused code and development dependencies,
   and upgrades some other locked dependencies. These changes are not expected
   to significantly affect functionality, performance, or security.

Log message:
textproc/xt-rs: update to 0.18.3

v0.18.3 (2023-12-24)
Fixed
 - Potential undefined behavior in YAML handling. This version of xt upgrades
   to the latest version of the third-party unsafe-libyaml library, which plays
   a critical role in xt's YAML support. The upgrade fixes a memory safety bug
   on 32-bit platforms, which may have caused crashes, incorrect behavior, etc.
   64-bit platforms are not affected.
