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 8.1.0

New features and improvements

• Made CachedTypeInspector thread safe #386
  Previously, using an instance of Serializer or Deserializer was not thread-safe,
  although the intention was for them to be thread safe. The only mutable state is
  inside CachedTypeInspector and was not properly protected against concurrent mutation.

Other fixes

• Fix type conflicts when targeting frameworks without nullability attributes #460

Change the default value handling behavior.

New features and improvements

• Change the default value handling behavior. Fixes #427
  This is a breaking change to the default behaviour of the serializer, which will now always emit null and default values.
  It is possible to configure this behaviour by using the ConfigureDefaultValuesHandling method on SerializerBuilder.

  More details are available in the documentation.

• Add default implementations for the following non-generic collections to DefaultObjectFactory:

  • IEnumerable
  • ICollection
  • IList
  • IDictionary

• Remove obsolete and unused SerializationOptions enum. Fixes #438

• Throw descriptive exceptions when using the "linq" methods of YamlNode. Relates to #437

Bug fixes

• Never emit document end indicator on stream end. Fixes #436
• Fix exception when deserializing an interface. Fixes #439
