v1.0.5

feat: support flattened CBOR extension maps

Add #[serde(flatten)] support for map-shaped #[derive(Cbor)] structs and preserve integer COSE labels through CBOR round trips.

Add cbor encode --hex and cbor validate for agent-friendly CLI workflows.

Bump cbor2 crates to 1.0.5 and switch project metadata and docs to MIT-only licensing.

v1.0.3

perf: add benchmarks and optimize encoding

Add a detached cbor2-bench workspace with comparative CBOR benchmark fixtures, result tables, and README documentation. Optimize hot encode and slice decode paths while appending the results to the 1.0.3 changelog.

Actions checkout steps to v5, and track the workspace Cargo.lock for
reproducible CI and release automation.

v1.0.0

The first stable release, completing the rewrite that shipped as 0.5.0.

Added

• no_std support behind the new std (default) and alloc features.
  default-features = false, features = ["alloc"] keeps the full API
  minus the std::io blanket implementations and the HashMap
  conversions; readers and writers are byte slices, Vec<u8>, or custom
  cbor2::io trait implementations. Without alloc the crate is a
  serialization/validation core: to_writer/to_slice/serialized_size,
  validate, the tag wrappers and the core header codec (the serde
  deserializer needs a heap; error messages composed at runtime are
  reduced to static ones).

• to_slice: encodes into a caller-provided buffer and returns the
  written prefix, without allocating. Available in every configuration.

• A RawValue type holding one item as validated, undecoded bytes (in
  the spirit of serde_json::value::RawValue): serialization splices
  the bytes into the stream untouched and deserialization captures them
  byte for byte — exact even for non-preferred spellings — for
  signature payloads, pass-through items and deferred decoding.
  TryFrom converts in both directions between RawValue and Value
  (decoding and encoding respectively).

• CBOR tags on containers: #[cbor(tag = 18)] wraps a struct in a tag
  (required on decode), alongside the integer map keys of 0.5.0.

• Value conversions to and from the common std types: From covers
  the primitive scalars, Option, byte arrays/vectors,
  String/&str/Cow<str>, HashMap/BTreeMap (any Into<Value>
  keys and values) and FromIterator into an array; TryFrom<Value>
  extracts every variant's payload, range-checked integers (the 128-bit
  forms accept bignums) and typed HashMap/BTreeMap with serde-style
  error messages.

• A cbor2::Cbor trait implemented by #[derive(Cbor)] (sharing its
  name with the derive macro, serde-style), exposing the declared
  protocol details at runtime: T::KEYS (the field name → integer key
  pairs) and T::TAG as allocation-free constants, plus a
  keys(&self) -> BTreeMap<String, i128> convenience method with
  alloc.

• The tools package, renamed from cbor_conv to cbor2-cli (published
  for the first time, also as 1.0.0), now ships a single cbor command
  line tool. Bare cbor shows each CBOR item as one line of diagnostic
  notation (RFC 8949 §8) with full wire fidelity — indefinite-length
  markers, undefined, bignums as plain integers; cbor decode
  pretty-prints items as JSON or, with --diag, as indented diagnostic
  notation; cbor encode converts JSON values to CBOR (replacing the
  old json2cbor/cbor2json binaries). The CBOR-reading commands take
  their input from stdin, a file, a hex string or a base64/base64url
  string, and everything is covered by end-to-end tests.

Changed

• The serde Serializer/Deserializer now run over the cbor2::io
  reader/writer traits. With the default std feature these are
  implemented for every std::io::Write/Read and cbor2::io::Error
  is std::io::Error, so existing code is unaffected.
• The derive feature's #[cbor2::int_keys] attribute macro is
  replaced by #[derive(cbor2::Cbor)], which generates the serde
  Serialize/Deserialize impls itself (serde's derives must not be
  repeated alongside it). Field names and the type name stay untouched —
  the protocol details ride on a hidden serde-remote shadow type — so
  the same types serialize to plain JSON with the original field names
  and no tag: serde_json::to_string(&v) just works.
• Error types implement the error trait through serde::ser::StdError,
  which is std::error::Error whenever std is available.
