## 2.1.0
Features:
* New pragmas ``scalar`` and ``collection`` allow you to modify the
presentation style used for certain types and object fields.
Defined in new module ``yaml/style``.
* The presenter now honors the node style set in the events it presents,
if possible. So if a scalar is set to be a literal block scalar, it is
presented as such unless impossible or presenter options specifically
prevent this.
* The presenter can now output single-quoted scalars. It only does so when
this scalar style is explicitly set on an event.
Changes:
* renamed ``canonicalDumper`` / ``setCanonicalStyle`` to
``explanatoryDumper`` / ``setExplanatoryStyle`` because it was
a misnomer and there is nothing canonical about this output style.
The terminology *canonical* was carried over from PyYAML, but the
YAML specification uses that term for different things.
The old names are kept with a ``deprecated`` pragma.
* The ``explanatoryDumper`` now automatically enables the
tag shorthand ``!n!``, because in this style you want that for readability.
Bugfixes:
* Fixed a bug that prevented instances of generic types to be used in ``Option``
fields (e.g. ``Option[seq[string]]``) (#101)
* Fixed a bug that caused invalid indentation when dumping with certain
settings (#140)
* Fixed parsing errors for verbatim tags in flow style (#140)
* Fixed a bug that caused presentation of block scalars in
flow collections (#140)
* Fixed a bug that sometimes caused the last word of a folded block scalar
not to be presented.
* Fixed maximum line length not properly implemented in presenter in a number
of cases.
* Fixed a bug that prevented the presenter from outputting compact
flow mappings in cMixed mode.
* Fixed block scalars as mapping keys not being presented properly.
* Added workaround for a regression bug in Nim 2.0.2
(https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/issues/23112)
## 2.0.0
Breaking Changes:
* Requires Nim 2.x
* ``yaml/serialization`` has been split into
``yaml/native`` (low-level API to load a ``YamlStream`` into Nim vars),
``yaml/loading`` (high-level loading API) and
``yaml/dumping`` (high-level dumping API).
* Dumping API now has a ``Dumper`` object.
All dumping procs require an instance of this object.
Previous parameters ``tagStyle``, ``handles`` and ``options`` have been
moved into this object.
* Constants with default values have been removed in favor of default values
for object fields.
* Low-level native API for loading and dumping has undergone changes to
parameter order. Serialization and deserialization context is now first
parameter, to be able to use prefix notation.
* Removed ``PresentationStyle``; instead ``Dumper`` can be initialized with
presets mirroring the former values of ``PresentationStyle``.
* Removed deprecated ``YamlDocument`` type from DOM API.
Use ``YamlNode`` instead.
Features:
* Can now load and dump fields of the parent type(s) of used types (#131)
* Updated type guessing to use regexes from YAML 1.2 instead of old YAML 1.1.
Type guessing is used primarily for heterogeneous items
(implicit variant objects).
* Presenter no longer outputs trailing spaces
* More presentation options
* Simplified default presentation style: Don't output ``%YAML 1.2``,
``%TAG !n! ...`` or ``---`` by default.
Output compact notation for collections.
* Loading now works at compile time (#70, #91).
Dumping doesn't work at compile time currently.
Bugfixes:
* Don't crash on invalid input, instead raise a catchable
``YamlParserError`` (#129)
* Fixed some parser errors in exotic edge cases
* Several fixes to make the library work with Nim 2.x
## 1.1.0
Features:
* ``YamlNode`` now contains node styles and preserves them
when serializing to YAML again
* Added ``maxLineLength`` to ``PresentationOptions``. (#119)
* Added ``loadFlattened`` to resolve aliases while loading,
instead of deserializing them into pointers. (#117)
Bugfixes:
* Fixed problems with ARC/ORC (#120)
* Fixes some edge cases around whitespace while parsing
* Fixed a problem that made ``{.ignore: [].}`` fail when trying
to ignore collection values. (#127)
* Always write a newline character at the end of output, as required
by POSIX for text files.
* Fixed an error with loading recursive nodes into YamlNodes.
* Fixed an error where ``0`` could not be loaded into an unsigned
integer lvalue. (#123)
* Fixed an error where `float32` values could not properly
be deserialized. (#124)
* Fixed a compiler error concerning stricteffects. (#125)
## 1.0.0
Features:
* ``YamlNode`` can now be used with the serialization API (``load`` / ``dump``)
and can be used to hold substructures that should not be deserialized to
native types (#48).
Bugfixes:
* Raise a proper exception when a stream contains no documents but one is
expected (#108)
* Comments after a block scalar do not lead to a crash anymore (#106)

* Parser rewrite: Fixes some test suite errors (including #83)
* Fixed problems where a syntax error lead to an invalid state (#39, #90)
* Serialize boolean values as ``true`` / ``false`` instead of ``y`` / ``y``
to conform to YAML 1.2 spec.
## 0.14.0
Features:
* **Breaking change**:
transient, defaultVal, ignore and implicit are now annotations.
* Added ``sparse`` annotation to treat all ``Option`` fields as optional.
Bugfixes:
* can now use default values with ref objects (#66)
## 0.13.1

## 0.12.0
Bugfixes:
* Made it work with Nim 0.20.2
### 0.11.0
Bugfixes:
* Made it work with Nim 0.19.0
NimYAML 0.11.0 is unlikely to work with older Nim versions.
## 0.10.4
Bugfixes:
* Made it work with Nim 0.18.0
### 0.10.3
Bugfixes:
* Fixed a nimble error when installing the package.
Features:
* Added `ignoreUnknownKeys` macro to ignore all mapping keys that do not map
to a field of an object / tuple (#43).
### 0.10.2
Bugfixes:
* Fixed a nimble warning (#42)
* Make sure special strings (e.g. "null") are properly quoted when dumping JSON
(#44)
### 0.10.1
Bugfixes:
* Made it *actually* work with Nim 0.17.0.
### 0.10.0
Features:
* Compatibility with Nim 0.17.0 (#40).
**Important:** This fix breaks compatibility with previous
Nim versions!
### 0.9.1
Features:
* Added `YamlParser.display()` which is mainly used by tests
* NimYAML now builds for JS target (but does not work properly yet)
Bugfixes:
* Correctly present empty collections in block-only style (#33)
* Correctly handle `{1}` (#34)
* Recognize empty plain scalar as possible `!!null` value
* Require colons before subsequent keys in a flow mapping (#35)
* Allow stream end after block scalar indicators
* Fixed regression bugs introduced with timestamp parsing (#37)
### 0.9.0
Features:
* Better DOM API:
- yMapping is now a Table
- field names have changed to imitate those of Nim's json API
- Better getter and setter procs
* Added ability to resolve non-specific tags in presenter.transform
Bugfixes:
* Fixed parsing floating point literals (#30)
* Fixed a bug with variant records (#31)
* Empty documents now always contain an empty scalar
* Block scalars with indentation indicator now have correct whitespace on first
line.
### 0.8.0
Features:
* NimYAML now has a global tag URI prefix for Nim types,
`tag:nimyaml.org,2016:`. This prefix is denoted by the custom tag handle
`!n!`.
* Support arbitrary tag handles.
* Added ability to mark object and tuple fields as transient.
* Added ability to set a default value for object fields.
* Added ability to ignore key-value pairs in the input when loading object
values.
* Support `!!timestamp` by parsing it to `Time` from module `times`.
Bugfixes:
* Fixed a bug concerning duplicate TagIds for different tags in the
`serializationTagLibrary`
* Convert commas in tag URIs to semicolons when using a tag URI as generic
parameter to another one, because commas after the tag handle are interpreted
as flow separators.
### 0.7.0
Features:
* Better handling of internal error messages
* Refactoring of low-level API:
* No more usage of first-class iterators (not supported for JS target)
* Added ability to directly use strings as input without stdlib's streams
(which are not available for JS)
* Added ability to parse octal and hexadecimal numbers
* Restructuring of API: now available as submodules of yaml. For backwards
compatibility, it is still possible to `import yaml`, which will import all
submodules
* Check for missing, duplicate and unknown fields when deserializing tuples and
objects
Bugfixes:
* Fixed double quotes inside plain scalar (#25)
* Return correct line content for errors if possible (#23)
* Some smaller lexer/parser fixes

* Support `int`, `uint` and `float` types
(previously, the precision must be specified)
* Check for duplicate tag URIs at compile time
