Usability improvements

New features

• 32bits Unicode code points in escape sequences and url-encoded tags are now properly handled.

• Anchors can now be redefined in a document.
  This is to conform to the 1.1 spec as well as the 1.2 spec:

  3.2.2.2. Anchors and Aliases

  When composing a representation graph from serialized events, an alias node refers to the most recent node in the serialization having the specified anchor. Therefore, anchors need not be unique within a serialization.

• Added support for tag mappings on the serializer.
  Use SerializerBuilder.WithTagMapping() to register a new tag mapping on the serializer.

• Allow to unregister components from the SerializerBuilder and DeserializerBuilder.
  Use the Without... methods on SerializerBuilder and DeserializerBuilder for that.

• New DateTimeConverter

  • It accepts DateTimeKind.Utc and Standard Date and Time Format Strings of "G" as its default parameters, if they are omitted.
  • For deserialisation, it accepts as many number of formats as we want. If a value doesn't match against provided formats, it will return FormatException. Please refer to my whole test cases.
  • For serialisation, it only considers the first format in the format list.

• Improve the (de)serializer builders so that it is possible to wrap existing component registrations.

• Added the ApplyNamingConventions property to YamlMemberAttribute.
  When this property is true, naming conventions are not applied to the associated member. This solves issue 228.

Bug fixes

• Fixed issue 189: extra '\0' after indentation indicators.
• Fixed some issues related to parsing and emitting comments.
• Fixed deserialization of ulongs greater than long.MaxValue.
• Fixed issue 218: Objects with custom type converters are traversed.
• Avoid crashing with a StackOverflowException when iterating over the AllNodes property when it's infinitely recursive.

Other

• The samples have been added to the project as a new unit test project, to ensure that they stay up-to-date with the code.
  In the future, a documentation page will be generated from the samples, that will show the sample, its documentation and respective output.
