This release contains all features and bugfixes from 1.5.0-RC plus some experimental features and bugfixes on its own (see below).
Kotlin 1.8.10 is used as a default.
HoconEncoder and HoconDecoder interfaces and HOCON-specific serializers
These interfaces work in a way similar to JsonEncoder and JsonDecoder: they allow intercepting (de)serialization process,
making writing if custom HOCON-specific serializers easier. New ConfigMemorySizeSerializer and JavaDurationSerializer already make use of them.
See more details in the PR.
Big thanks to Alexander Mikhailov for contributing this!
Ability to read buffered huge strings in custom Json deserializers
New interface ChunkedDecoder allows you to read huge strings that may not fit in memory by chunks.
Currently, this interface is only implemented by Json decoder that works with strings and streams,
but we may expand it later, if there's a demand for it.
