=== Releases ===
------------------------------------------------------------------------

2.19.0 (not yet released)

#889: Kotlin has been upgraded to 1.9.25.
#885: A new `StrictNullChecks` option(KotlinFeature.NewStrictNullChecks) has been added which greatly improves throughput.
 Benchmarks show a consistent throughput drop of less than 2% when enabled (prior to the improvement, the worst throughput drop was more than 30%).
 Note that the new backend changes the exception thrown to `InvalidNullException` and with it the error message.
 Also note that the base class for `MissingKotlinParameterException` was changed to `InvalidNullException` in #884.
#884: The base class for `MissingKotlinParameterException` has been changed to `InvalidNullException`.
 If you do not catch this exception or catch `MismatchedInputException`, the behavior is unchanged.
 If you are catching both `MismatchedKotlinParameterException` and `InvalidNullException`, you must catch `MismatchedKotlinParameterException` first.
#883: The deprecation level has been raised to error for the `MissingKotlinParameterException` secondary constructor.
 This is a problematic process that has been marked as deprecated for a very long time and will be removed in 2.20 or later.
#878: Fixed a problem where settings like `@JsonSetter(nulls = AS_EMPTY)` were not being applied when the input was `undefined`.
#869: By using Enum.entries in the acquisition of KotlinFeature.defaults, the initialization load was reduced, albeit slightly.
#858: Minor performance improvement of findDefaultCreator in edge cases.
#839: Remove useKotlinPropertyNameForGetter and unify with kotlinPropertyNameAsImplicitName.
#835: Remove old SingletonSupport class and unified with KotlinFeature.SingletonSupport.

2.18.2 (27-Nov-2024)
2.18.1 (28-Oct-2024)

No changes since 2.18.0

2.18.0 (26-Sep-2024)

#818: The implementation of the search process for the `JsonCreator` (often the primary constructor)
  used by default for deserialization has been changed to `AnnotationIntrospector#findDefaultCreator`.
  This has improved first-time processing performance and memory usage.
  It also solves the problem of `findCreatorAnnotation` results by `AnnotationIntrospector` registered by the user
  being ignored depending on the order in which modules are registered.
#817: The convertValue extension function now accepts null
#803: Kotlin has been upgraded to 1.8.10.
  The reason 1.8.22 is not used is to avoid KT-65156.
#782: Content marked as deprecated has been reorganized.
  Several constructors and accessors to properties of KotlinModule.Builder that were marked as DeprecationLevel.ERROR have been removed.
  Also, the content marked as DeprecationLevel.WARNING is now DeprecationLevel.ERROR.
#542: Remove meaningless checks and properties in KNAI.

2.17.3 (01-Nov-2024)

No changes since 2.17.2

2.17.2 (05-Jul-2024)

#799: Fixed problem with code compiled with 2.17.x losing backward compatibility.

2.17.1 (04-May-2024)

#776: Delete Duration conversion that was no longer needed.
#779: Errors no longer occur when processing Record types defined in Java.

2.17.0 (12-Mar-2024)

#768: Added value class deserialization support.
#760: Caching is now applied to the entire parameter parsing process on Kotlin.
#758: Deprecated SingletonSupport and related properties to be consistent with KotlinFeature.SingletonSupport.
#755: Changes in constructor invocation and argument management.
 This change degrades performance in cases where the constructor is called without default arguments, but improves performance in other cases.
#751: The KotlinModule#useKotlinPropertyNameForGetter property was deprecated because it differed from the name of the KotlinFeature.
 Please use KotlinModule#kotlinPropertyNameAsImplicitName from now on.
#747: Improved performance related to KotlinModule initialization and setupModule.
 With this change, the KotlinModule initialization error when using Kotlin 1.4 or lower has been eliminated.
#746: The KotlinModule#serialVersionUID is set to private.
#745: Modified isKotlinClass determination method.
#744: Functions that were already marked as deprecated,
 such as the primary constructor in KotlinModule and some functions in Builder,
 are scheduled for removal in 2.18 and their DeprecationLevel has been raised to Error.
 Hidden constructors that were left in for compatibility are also marked for removal.
 This PR also adds a hidden no-argument constructor to facilitate initialization from reflection.
 See the PR for details.
#743: The handling of deserialization using vararg arguments has been improved to allow deserialization even when the input to the vararg argument is undefined.
 In addition, vararg arguments are now reported as non-required.
#742: Minor performance improvements to NullToEmptyCollection/Map.
#741: Changed to allow KotlinFeature to be set in the function that registers a KotlinModule.
 The `jacksonObjectMapper {}` and `registerKotlinModule {}` lambdas allow configuration for KotlinModule.
#740: Reduce conversion cache from Executable to KFunction.
 This will reduce memory usage efficiency and total memory consumption, but may result in a minor performance degradation in use cases where a large number of factory functions are used as JsonCreator.
#738: JacksonInject is now preferred over the default argument(fixes #722).
#732: SequenceSerializer removed.
#727: Fixed overriding findCreatorAnnotation instead of hasCreatorAnnotation.

2.16.2 (09-Mar-2024)

No changes since 2.16.1

2.16.1 (24-Dec-2023)

#733: Fix problem with Serializable objects not implementing readResolve.

2.16.0 (15-Nov-2023)

#707: If JsonSetter(nulls = Nulls.SKIP) is specified, the default argument is now used when null.
#700: Reduce the load on the search process for serializers.
#689: Added UseJavaDurationConversion feature.
 By enabling this feature and adding the Java Time module, Kotlin Duration can be handled in the same way as Java Duration.
#687: Optimize and Refactor KotlinValueInstantiator.createFromObjectWith.
 This improves deserialization throughput about 1.3 ~ 1.5 times faster.
 https://github.com/FasterXML/jackson-module-kotlin/pull/687#issuecomment-1637365799
#686: Added KotlinPropertyNameAsImplicitName feature to use Kotlin property names as implicit names for getters.
 Enabling this feature eliminates some of the problems summarized in #630,
 but also causes some behavioral changes and performance degradation.
 A minor correction has been made to this option in #710.
#685: Streamline default value management for KotlinFeatures.
 This improves the initialization cost of kotlin-module a little.
#684: Kotlin 1.5 has been deprecated and the minimum supported Kotlin version will be updated to 1.6.

2.15.4 (15-Feb-2024)
2.15.3 (12-Oct-2023)

No changes since 2.15.2

2.15.2 (30-May-2023)

#675: Modified to use Converter in Sequence serialization
 This change allows serialization-related annotations, such as `JsonSerialize(contentUsing = ...)`, to work on `Sequence`.
 Also fixes #674.

2.15.1 (16-May-2023)

No changes since 2.15.0

2.15.0 (23-Apr-2023)

jackson-module-kotlin changes the serialization result of getter-like functions starting with 'is'.
For example, a function defined as `fun isValid(): Boolean`, which was previously output with the name `valid`, is now output with the name `isValid`.
See #670 for details.
