0.86.1

(July 5, 2023)

Features:

Support detecting duplicate elements outside of list context #145. This
is not default behaviour as it is somewhat up to the serializer to deal
with duplicate values, rather than the format.
Support wildcard (*) for XmlBefore and XmlAfter. These create a
partition in ordering. An element/attribute with wildcard before will
be ordered before/after elements that do not have this. Explicit order
relationships will be maintained.
Support checking ordering in reading.
Update to Kotlinx.serialization 1.5.1
Add SerializableQName as an alias that links it to the serializer.
Add a helper function XmlSerializationPolicy.recoverNullNamespaceUse that
can be used to support recovering in case of null namespaces (and them
effectively functioning as wildcard)
Handle processing instructions correctly, expose processing instructions as
target (XmlReader.piTarget) + data (XmlReader.piData) pairs
attributes and XmlEvent.ProcessingInstructionEvent as event. (#160)
Allow processing instructions/whitespace as children of Native Document.

Fixes:

Fix recording/copying of attribute prefixes in copying algorithms (#167).
Fix reading/writing of processing instruction events (#160).
Fix recovery of element children (#160).
Fix decoding of nil elements in certain cases (lists) where the end of the tag
wasn't parsed. Implemented decodeNull accordingly to actually finish the nil tag.
Fix accidental immediate emission of xsi:nil elements (rather than deferring
as expected #152).
Add expected key name to the error message when it couldn't be found for a
map. #140
Fix attribute name for empty prefix in Attr (native DOM). This should fix #142.
