10.1.0

This feature release includes an improvement to the schema builder:

• When generating schemas for enum types, the schema builder uses the [DefaultValue] attribute to set the "default" field of the generated schema (#289, h/t @jonasby).

10.0.0

10.0.0 is a major release that introduces CLI support for .NET 8, drops CLI support for .NET 5 and earlier, and introduces several new features.

Breaking changes

• The Chr.Avro CLI no longer supports .NET Core 3.1 or .NET 5. We end support for out-of-support .NET versions at every major release.

New features

• The Chr.Avro libraries target both netstandard2.0 and net6.0. The net6.0 builds include features and performance improvements that are only possible on .NET 6 and above (#269, h/t @fabianoliver).

• On .NET 6 and above, BinaryReader<T> exposes new zero-copy decoding methods (#267, h/t @fabianoliver; #276).

• On .NET 6 and above, Chr.Avro supports the DateOnly and TimeOnly types introduced in .NET 5 (#284). These types may be mapped to/from ISO 8601 strings (the default) or the "date", "time-millis", and "time-micros" logical types. For more details, see the types and conversions documentation.

• The [IgnoreDataMember] attribute may be used to exclude fields and properties from serialization (#287).

• Chr.Avro.Confluent now targets Confluent.Kafka and Confluent.SchemaRegistry 2.3.0 (#285).

Fixes

• The schema generator correctly generates nullable schemas for the Uri? type (#278). In previous versions, a nullable union was not generated.

• Arrays can be deserialized to ArraySegment<T> on .NET Framework (#286). In previous versions, the deserializer would fail to build.

9.6.0

This minor release updates client dependencies:

• Chr.Avro.Confluent now targets Confluent.Kafka and Confluent.SchemaRegistry 2.2.0 (#265).

9.5.1

This patch release fixes a serialization bug:

• Serializers failed to build when mapping record fields with complex default values to classes without matching properties (#255, h/t @nicodeslandes).

9.5.0

This minor release updates client dependencies:

• Chr.Avro.Confluent now targets Confluent.Kafka and Confluent.SchemaRegistry 2.1.0 (#253).

9.4.1

This patch release fixes two bugs related to dynamic object serialization:

• Serializers built by the Schema Registry serializer builder would fail to serialize objects requiring dynamic property access (#249).
• The serializer builder did not properly account for fields and properties from anonymous types (#250).

9.4.0

This minor release updates client dependencies:

• Chr.Avro.Confluent now targets Confluent.Kafka and Confluent.SchemaRegistry 2.0.2 (#245).

9.3.2

This patch release fixes an issue with the Schema Registry serdes:

• The async Schema Registry serializer and deserializer would fail to retrieve schemas after an initial request to the registry timed out or was cancelled for some other reason (#244). This is similar to the issue fixed in #80, first released in 5.0.1.

9.3.1

This patch release fixes an issue with union serialization:

• In previous releases, serializers would fail to build for unions containing the null schema and multiple other schemas (#237, #238, h/t @darren-clark).

9.3.0

This minor release adds support for .NET 7:

• Chr.Avro.Cli now targets net7.0 (#233). Chr.Avro.Cli follows the .NET support policy, so the netcoreapp3.1 and net5.0 targets will be removed in the next major release.
