2.40
====
* Fix corner case of is_optional
* Drop LGPL3 license exception for Appgate Cybersecurity, Inc.
  The changes in this version do not carry the exception, so as a
  result the entire project is GPL3 licensed.
  LGPL3 allows relicensing under GPL3, but not viceversa.
* Improve documentation and examples
* Added moretypes module for types I might find convenient to have
* Added HexRGB to the moretypes module

2.39
====
* Re-release

2.38
====
* Fix unintended behaviour where a `str` could be loaded as `list[str]`
  This is caused by a [quirk of python's types](https://github.com/python/typing/issues/256).
  To restore the previous behaviour set `iterstr=True`
* Drop support to python 3.9

2.37
====
* Do not use new syntax in any place.
  It confuses tooling

2.36

* Improve performance for dumping dataclasses [#13](https://codeberg.org/ltworf/typedload/pulls/13) [#14](https://codeberg.org/ltworf/typedload/pulls/14)
  More details on my blog

2.31
====
* Improve performance for loading various types
  More details on my blog
* Fix bug when loading attrs objects with missing attributes, the correct exception is raised [#9](https://codeberg.org/ltworf/typedload/pulls/9)
* Raise TypeError instead of ValueError when there is a problem with the arguments of the objects
  This is in line with what python does [#9](https://codeberg.org/ltworf/typedload/pulls/9)
* Fix bug for dumping object with a ForwardRef to itself [#8](https://codeberg.org/ltworf/typedload/pulls/8)

2.30
====

  cached already

2.29
====

2.24
====
* Drop support to Python 3.7 (which has reached EOL)

  It makes the normal case slightly slower, and gives massive performance
  improvements when exceptions are raised.

2.23
====
* When loading a string into datetime.date/time/datetime, ISO 8601 is used
* When dumping, setting `isodates=True` dumps an ISO 8601 string instead of a list of ints. The previous behaviour is now deprecated.
* Add support for datetime.timedelta. It is dumped as a float representing seconds
* Deprecate dump handlers without type hints
* Improve performance for dumping, by carrying type hints
* Remove `jsons` and `dataclasses-json` from benchmarks.
  They were too slow to be a useful comparison.

* Improve loading time for literals
* Support attrs converter

2.21
====
* Drop support to Python 3.5 and 3.6
* Improve performance for dumping
