Release v1.1.0

1.1.0 - 2025-10-13

Changes

• Add exception hint about str types when deserialize fails

  The message parameter of the deserialize method takes bytes, as it expects an Avro binary wrapped in Confluent Registry framing.

  Due to Python's duck typing, a str can be passed in without type checkers complaining, but this can lead to subtle and confusing errors if that str is the result of an inadvertent decode() on the Avro bytes.

  When this happens, a hint is now added to the raised DeserializationError to help users identify this problem more easily.

  This does require bumping the minimum supported Python version to 3.11 (up from the previous minimum supported version 3.10), as BaseException.add_note was only added in Python 3.11.
