Release 11.2.1

• #621 Fix nullable struct serialization.
  Fixes #360

Release 11.2.0

New features

• #613 Fix dates not round-tripping correctly in all cases.
• #608 Allow omitting empty collections via DefaultValuesHandling.

Release 11.1.1

Bugfixes

• #600 Fix nullable enum roundtrip (fixes #544)
  There was a problem deserializing nullable enums that was introduced with release 9.1.0.

Release 11.1.0

New features

• #604 Support for deserialization of interface types (Fixes #601)
  This allows to register a concrete class for a given interface. When deserializing a value of that interface type, the concrete class will be deserialized instead.

  var sut = new DeserializerBuilder()
      .WithNamingConvention(CamelCaseNamingConvention.Instance)
      .WithTypeMapping<ICar, Car>()
      .WithTypeMapping<IModelSpec, ModelSpec>()
      .Build();

  Check this test for a more complete example

Other fixes

• #603 Fix nullable annotation of TagName implicit converter.
• #602 Fix nullable annotations for AnchorName implicit converter.

Release 11.0.1

Bugfixes

• #596 Merge sequence of anchors in reverse order (fixes #594)
  When merging sequences, the order was incorrect.
  This is a breaking change. If you relied on the previous behaviour, you will need to adapt your code.

• #563 Fix imutable pattern in EmitterSettings.SkipAnchorName.

Release 10.1.0

• #584 Add support for adding comments to properties.
  The YamlMember attribute now has a Description property. When set, a comment is emitted when serializing that property:

  class Person
  {
      public string Name { get; set; }
  
      [YamlMember(Description = "This is the age")]
      public int Age { get; set; }
  
      [YamlMember(Description = "male or female")]
      public string Sex { get; set; }
  }

  Name: PandaTea
  # This is the age
  Age: 100
  # male or female
  Sex: male

Release 10.0.0

New features

• #592 adds the ability specify additional indentation for lists. By default, the emitter emits:

  list:
  - item1
  - item2
  

  By using this option, the emitter will output:

  list:
    - item1
    - item2
  

Bug fixes

• #598 Fixed AnchorNotFoundException if there is a reference to an anchor of a node which is being deserialized. This happens in cyclic references.

Other changes

• Breaking - Binary serialization support has been removed as there was no practical use-case for it.

• Refactor Portability.cs into conditionally included files to improve maintainability.
  There is now a set of directories under YamlDotNet/Helpers/Portability. Each directory's name contains a list of target platforms, separated by +. Each of those files is included only when building for one of those target platforms. Each directory may also contain a subsirectory named others. The files in this directory are included only when building for one target platform that is not in it's parent name.

• Make the type Nothing a ValueType
  There's no need for it to be a reference type.

• Use a custom type to represent anchor names
  This enables the compiler to detect when we pass something else
  where an anchor name is expected.

• Use a custom type to represent tag names
  This enables the compiler to detect when we pass something else
  where a tag name is expected.

• Release notes are no longer stored in the repository, because this forced a new meaningless commit to be created for each release.

Release 9.1.4

• Fix LookAheadBuffer trying to read from the stream after reaching its end
