v1.2.4

CI-focused release that runs the full test suite on every build, uploads test reports, and renames Base64UrlSafe for consistency.

• Renames Base64UrlSafe to Base64Url.
• Runs allTests in CI and uploads test reports as artifacts.
• Makes the codecov upload step non-fatal.

v1.2.3

Maintenance release with a BaseRadix correctness fix for very large power-of-two radixes, new alphabet abstractions, and build stability improvements.

• Fixes BaseRadix for massive power-of-two bases.
• Adds UnicodeRangeAlphabet and CharAlphabet interfaces for richer character encoding options.
• Streamlines encodeBlock logic in BaseRadix and adds byte-handling helpers.
• Optimizes buffer usage and simplifies encodeBlock input handling.
• Raises the Gradle JVM heap to avoid out-of-memory errors during builds.

v1.2.2

Restructures the project as Kotlin Multiplatform with wasm and iOS targets, adds payload transforms (encryption, compact-zeros) in place of the checksum interface, and merges class and object bitmask headers for tighter output.

• Migrates the project to a Kotlin Multiplatform structure.
• Extends build configuration to include wasm and iOS targets.
• Replaces the Checksum interface with a PayloadTransform interface for payload processing.
• Integrates CompactZeros as a PayloadTransform and removes the standalone compactZeros flag.
• Implements merged bitmask headers for classes and objects via a new PackedContext class.
• Consolidates boolean and nullable bitmask handling into a ClassBitmask utility.
• Streamlines varint encoding and decoding in EncodedFormat.
• Allows configurable initial capacity for ByteOutput in EncodedFormat.
• Adds a linter step to GitHub Actions and an .editorconfig.
• Adds README examples and links for encryption and error correction extensions.

v1.2.1

Internal cleanup release that unifies the CRC implementations behind a shared engine and tightens BaseRadix visibility.

• Introduces a unified CrcEngine shared by CRC8, CRC16, and CRC32.
• Simplifies CRC test structure for better coverage and clarity.
• Changes encodeBlock and decodeBlock visibility to internal in BaseRadix.

v1.2.0

Replaces the per-property VarInt/VarUInt annotations with a single PackedType annotation, consolidates integer encoding configuration, and tightens collection encoding and decoding.

• Replaces VarInt and VarUInt annotations with a unified PackedType annotation.
• Consolidates defaultVarInt and defaultZigZag into a single defaultEncoding property on PackedFormat.
• Optimizes nullable collection handling and bitmask logic in PackedEncoder and PackedDecoder.
• Adds tests for boolean and nullable list encoding and truncation exceptions.
• Adds an error message for checksum size violations during EncodedFormat decoding.
• Improves UTF-8 string handling and error reporting in readStringInline.

v1.1.0

Adds a builder DSL for configuring EncodedFormat and PackedFormat, a FixedInt annotation for overriding default integer encoding, and assorted decoder fixes for nullable and polymorphic cases.

• Adds builder DSL configuration for EncodedFormat and PackedFormat.
• Adds the FixedInt annotation to force fixed-length integer encoding when defaults differ.
• Improves nullable element decoding and enforces structure constraints in PackedDecoder.
• Adds test coverage for polymorphic serialization, truncation, and nullable lists.
• Updates the README to document the new DSL and Maven coordinates.

v1.0.0

Initial release of kencode, a Kotlin Multiplatform library for compact binary encoding with kotlinx.serialization integration, base-N text encodings, and CRC checksums.

• Provides a flexible BaseRadix encoder supporting arbitrary radixes.
• Includes Base64 (standard and URL-safe) and Base85 implementations.
• Adds CRC8, CRC16, and CRC32 checksum implementations with reflected variants.
• Introduces the PackedFormat for compact kotlinx.serialization output with bit packing.
• Introduces the EncodedFormat that pairs PackedFormat with byte encoding and checksums.
• Supports nullable types, enums, UInt/ULong, and default object handling.
• Adds varint, zigzag varuint, and fixed-width integer encoding helpers.
• Includes example usages for protobuf-style and cipher-based serialization.
• Ships GitHub Actions for build and release.
