 - [Huu Nguyen](https://github.com/whoshuu) correct a variable name in the documentation.
 - [Silverweed](https://github.com/silverweed) overloaded `parse()` to accept an rvalue reference.
 - [dariomt](https://github.com/dariomt) fixed a subtlety in MSVC type support.
+- [ZahlGraf](https://github.com/ZahlGraf) added a workaround that allows compilation using Android NDK.
 
 Thanks a lot for helping out!
