 - Add new properties `compare_expr` and `compare_expr_imports` to the `types` configuration. This is used when comparing primary keys and in testing.
 - Add `never_required` to relationships configuration. This makes sure the factories does not require the relationship to be set. Useful if you're not using foreign keys. (thanks @jacobmolby)
 - Add wrapper types for Stringer, TextMarshaler/Unmarshaler, and BinaryMarshaler/Unmarshaler to the `types` configuration.
+- Make generated enum types implement the `fmt.Stringer`, `encoding.TextMarshaler`, `encoding.TextUnmarshaler`, `encoding.BinaryMarshaler` and `encoding.BinaryUnmarshaler` interfaces.
