Changes in this release:

• Streaming serialization support has been improved significantly. Nested DynamicObject instances will now be correctly streamed, instead of being buffered. In addition, a stream-oriented variant of the write method is now available on the EdnTranslator interface, with a sensible default implementation.
• Wrapping a null reference as a DynamicObject is now forbidden and will result in a NullPointerException.
• Exceptions are no longer swallowed within DynamicObject#deserializeStream.

Changes in this release:

• The DynamicObject#serialize(Object, Writer) method has been added. This method is available for streaming use cases (such as serializing directly to a file) where there is no need to build an intermediate String representation.
• A major bug has been fixed that was causing Map elements to be dropped.

Changes in this release:

• DynamicObject is now stable; this release is not a pre-release.
• DynamicObject has adopted semantic versioning.
• Custom keys can now be strings (using @Key("string")), in addition to keywords (using @Key(":keyword")).
• The getMap method now returns a raw Map without wildcards.
• The serializeStream method now returns a Java 8 Stream<T> instead of an Iterator<T>.

Changes in this release:

• User-defined validate() methods are now supported. This allows custom logic to be added to a DynamicObject type that will be called along with the usual validation checks when validate() is invoked.

Changes in this release:

• Fields marked @Required, when accessed, will immediately throw NullPointerException, even if validate() was never called.
• Support for java.util.Optional has been added. Optionals will be wrapped and unwrapped at runtime; using Optional in a dynamic-object schema does not affect the on-wire or in-memory representation.

This release includes the following changes:

• built-in support for java.time.Instant with the #inst tag
• DynamicObject#getMap now returns a Map instead of an Object

This is mostly a bugfix release; it is fully source compatible with v0.1. Changes include:

• Added support for serializing and deserializing arbitrary types (registered types can be round-tripped by themselves)
• Fixed cached access to null field
• Fixed a bug where default methods that looked like builder methods were not invoked correctly
• Changed DynamicObject#validate return type from void to T
• Add support for deserializing a stream of DynamicObjects from a PushbackReader

This is an early preview release; the API is not yet guaranteed to be stable.
