10.4.0

This minor release updates client dependencies:

• Chr.Avro.Confluent now targets Confluent.Kafka and Confluent.SchemaRegistry 2.5.0 (#315).

10.3.1

This patch release fixes an issue in the schema reader:

• The schema reader failed to read unions containing a record schema with aliases (#309, #310).

10.3.0

This minor release updates client dependencies:

• Chr.Avro.Confluent now targets Confluent.Kafka and Confluent.SchemaRegistry 2.4.0 (#308).

10.2.4

This patch release fixes a deserialization issue:

• Deserializers for nullable structs would fail to build due to a regression in 8.0.0 (#306).

10.2.3

This patch release fixes a deserialization issue:

• On .NET 6, the DateOnly and TimeOnly deserializer builder would fail as it depended on method overloads only available in .NET 7 and above (#304, h/t @runerys; #305).

10.2.2

This patch release introduces a targeting change that was missed in 10.2.1:

• Chr.Avro.Codegen now targets net6.0 as well as netstandard2.0 (#300, h/t @xontab). The DateOnly and TimeOnly support introduced in 10.2.1 was not usable without the net6.0 target.

10.2.1

This patch release includes a couple of bug fixes:

• The C# code generator now emits DateOnly and TimeOnly types for date and time logical types (#298, h/t @xontab).

• When inspecting a type for members that match enum symbols or record fields, the serde builders no longer count constructors, events, nested, etc. as colliding names (#299). If names collide, builders throw more informative exceptions.

10.2.0

This feature release includes improvements to documentation handling in the schema builder and code generator:

• Enum documentation may be populated from [DescriptionAttribute] (#290, h/t @runerys). In previous releases, only record documentation was supported.

• The C# code generator can emit [DescriptionAttribute] for enum and record documentation (#292, h/t @runerys; #294). This functionality can be enabled with the --component-model-annotations flag on the CLI and the enableDescriptionAttributeForDocumentation parameter in code.

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.
