I reviewed your Travis CI results.
If possible, consider providing the following as well to improve
overall quality.
It would be nice for all new libraries to meet these requirements to help ensure
better quality of components entering the suite.

* code coverage, for example codecov.io, specifically branch coverage numbers
* static analysis, for example cppcheck and/or coverity scan
* UBSAN and valgrind
* AppVeyor results for MSVC 2010 - 2017, MinGW 32-bit and 64-bit, and
cygwin 32-bit and 64-bit

Examples of these can be found in:
