Features:

• Add additional shortcut encodeToStream and decodeFromStream functions that provide direct access to streams (similar to the serialization-io support for sinks/sources).
• Add support for resolving elements with ID attributes to XML.XMLInput. This still requires a custom (de)serializer.
• Add a new XmlDeclMode constant (IfRequired) that will write a minimal declarat...

Please note this release has removed most deprecated code. Also note that the configuration system is redesigned (the old approach still works but is deprecated).

In rare cases this changes the behaviour (where a custom policy was originally set (with different defaults), it didn't inherit the default policy, and it is now replaced by a default policy).
• In XmlWriter introduce a `safeCdse...

Features:

• Make defaultPrimitiveOutputKind and defaultObjectOutputKind configurable attributes rather than (overridable) properties (#285).

• Improve translation of serial names to xml names in the default policy (strip out text after '<', '[' and '(')

Changes:

• Replace @XmlNamespaceDeclSpec with @XmlNamespaceDeclSpecs that accepts an array argument
• Synchronize annotation and re...
