0.2.3
=======
:release date: in development

Changes
-------

Bugs fixed
-----------
* Can't pack subclass of dict.

0.2.2
=======
:release date: 2012-09-21

Changes
-------
* Add ``use_single_float`` option to ``Packer``. When it is true, packs float
  object in single precision format.

Bugs fixed
-----------
* ``unpack()`` didn't restores gc state when it called with gc disabled.
  ``unpack()`` doesn't control gc now instead of restoring gc state collectly.
  User can control gc state when gc cause performance issue.

0.2.1
=======
:release date: 2012-08-20

Changes
-------
* Add ``max_buffer_size`` parameter to Unpacker. It limits internal buffer size
  and allows unpack data from untrusted source safely.

* Unpacker's buffer reallocation algorithm is less greedy now. It cause perforamce
  derease in rare case but memory efficient and don't allocate than ``max_buffer_size``.

Bugs fixed
----------
* Fix msgpack didn't work on SPARC Solaris. It was because choosing wrong byteorder
  on compilation time. Use ``sys.byteorder`` to get correct byte order.
  Very thanks to Chris Casey for giving test environment to me.


0.2.0
=======
:release date: 2012-06-27

Changes
-------
* Drop supporting Python 2.5 and unify tests for Py2 and Py3.
