release-notes/VERSION

Project: jackson-annotations

NOTE: Annotations module will never contain changes in patch versions,
 only .0 releases can have changes. We may still release patch versions, but
 they will be identical to .0 versions, and only released for convenience
 (developers can line up all Jackson components with same patch version number).
 Main components will typically depend on .0 versions: please do NOT file
 issues against this being a bug; it is intentional.

No changes since 2.1.1

2.1.1 (11-Nov-2012)

Fixes:

* Make ObjectIdGenerator java.io.Serializable (needed when serializing
  ObjectMappers/-Writers/-Readers)

2.1.0 (08-Oct-2012)

New features:

* [Issue#4]: Add '@JsonIdentityReference', to support use case where values of
  a specific reference property are always serialized as ids, never as full POJO

Improvements:

* Added '@JsonIdentityInfo.firstAsID' property, to allow forcing all references
  to an Object to be serialized as id, including first one.
* Fix OSGi artifact name to be fully-qualified


2.0.2 (14-May-2012)

Fixes:

* OSGi bundle name was accidentally changed in 2.0.1; reverted back to one
  used in 2.0.0, earlier
 (reported Pascal G)

2.0.1 (22-Apr-2012)

Fixes:

* [JACKSON-827] Fix incompatibilities with JDK 1.5 (2.0.0 accidentally
  required 1.6)
 (reported Pascal G)

2.0.0 (25-Mar-2012)

Improvements:

* [JACKSON-437]: Allow injecting of type id as POJO property, by setting
  new '@JsonTypeInfo.visible' property to true.
* [JACKSON-669]: Allow prefix/suffix for @JsonUnwrapped properties
  (requested by Aner P)
* [JACKSON-787]: @JsonIgnoredProperties can be used on properties too

New features:

* [JACKSON-107]: Add support for Object Identity (to handled cycles, shared refs),
  with @JsonIdentityInfo
* [JACKSON-714] Add general-purpose '@JsonFormat' annotation
* [JACKSON-752]: Add @JsonInclude (replacement of @JsonSerialize.include)
* [JACKSON-754]: Add @JacksonAnnotationsInside for creating "annotation
  bundles" (also: AnnotationIntrospector.isAnnotationBundle())

Other:

* Lots of miscellaneous refactoring; moving most annotations from
  databind into this package; only leaving ones that depend on
  databind package types
