Swift 6

This major release drops support for Swift 5, due to stricter data alignment checks.
It is otherwise identical to the 3.x releases, and can be used interchangeably without restrictions.
If you need to use Swift 5, use the latest 3.x release.

3.2.0: feat: Expose internal coders with SPI attribute (#27)

New features

Internal encoding/decoding types are now marked with @_spi(Internals) public so consumer modules can access them without making them part of the public API. Useful for test targets and custom encoder implementations.

Implemented by @MaximKotliar with #27

3.1.1

Clean up the package versions and fix warnings for Swift 6

3.1.0: Allow multiple calls to containers (#25)

This release brings improvements to now allow the creation of multiple containers that target the same underlying storage.
See the readme section for more details.

3.0.3

This release introduces an optimization that had been missing unintentionally from the 3.0 release.
The binary format for those basic types which require no additional length information (e.g. Double, Int, etc.) are now encoded more efficiently in arrays and sets.

3.0.2

Improves performance during encoding, especially for very large properties.

3.0.1

What's Changed

• Fix crash when using wrappers with other encoders by @christophhagen in #19

Full Changelog: 3.0.0...3.0.1

3.0.0

New format

Huge update! This release changes the binary format as well as much of the implementation.
This means that the new version is not compatible with older encodings, but the new implementation is much more stable, supports more features, and is faster. And all of that with about half the lines of code!

The older binary format (still documented in LegacyFormat.md was initially developed to provide some cross-compatibility with Google Protocol Buffers. But Protobuf has a very limited feature set, and time (and lots of bugs) has shown that a fresh start was needed. The new format has been redesigned specifically for Codable, and supports all¹ features, while still being almost equally efficient.

A few additional notes:

• Migration info is provided in the Readme.
• The new binary format is detailed in BinaryFormat.md
• Protobuf compatibility was dropped. This functionality will be moved to ProtobufCodable in the next few weeks.

1. The only known feature to be only partially supported is encodeNil(forKey:). See the Readme for details. ↩

2.0.3

What's Changed

• Provide codingPath when decoding fails due to corrupt data by @mrackwitz in #10
• Decoding fails for optional varlength values in a singleValueContainer nested in keyed containers by @mrackwitz in #11
• Update ci by @christophhagen in #12
• Update docs by @christophhagen in #13

Full Changelog: 2.0.2...2.0.3

2.0.2

Fixes an issue where a custom encoding logic using a single value container would fail to decode.

Thanks to @mrackwitz for the discovery and fix.

What's Changed

• Decoding fails for keyed structs in a singleValueContainer by @mrackwitz in #9

New Contributors

• @mrackwitz made their first contribution in #9
