Bug fixes:

- Fix ``fields.TimeDelta`` serialization precision (:issue:`1865`).
  Thanks :user:`yarsanich` for reporting.

Other changes:

- Fix type-hints for ```data``` arg in ```Schema.validate``` to accept
  list of dictionaries (:issue:`1790`, :pr:`1868`).
  Thanks  :user:`yourun-proger` for PR.

3.13.0 (2021-07-21)
*******************

Features:

- Replace ``missing``/``default`` field parameters with
  ``load_default``/``dump_default`` (:pr:`1742`).
  Thanks :user:`sirosen` for the PR.

Deprecations:

- The use of ``missing``/``default`` field parameters is deprecated and will be
  removed in marshmallow 4. ``load_default``/``dump_default`` should be used
  instead.

3.12.2 (2021-07-06)
*******************

Bug fixes:

- Don't expose ``Field``\s as ``Schema`` attributes. This reverts a change
  introduced in 3.12.0 that causes issues when field names conflict with
  ``Schema`` attributes or methods. ``Fields``\s are still accessible on a
   ``Schema`` instance throught the ``fields`` attribute. (:pr:`1843`)

  Thanks :user:`lassandroan`.

Other changes:

- Remove unnecessary ``hasattr`` and ``getattr`` checks in ``Field`` (:pr:`1770`).

3.10.0 (2020-12-19)
*******************

Deprecations:

- Passing field metadata via keyword arguments is deprecated and will be
  removed in marshmallow 4 (:issue:`1350`). Use the explicit ``metadata=...``
  argument instead. Thanks :user:`sirosen`.

3.9.1 (2020-11-07)
******************

Bug fixes:

- Cast to mapping type in ``Mapping.serialize`` and ``Mapping.deserialize``
  (:pr:`1685`).

Deprecations:

- ``marshmallow.pprint`` is deprecated and will be removed in marshmallow 4 (:issue:`1588`).

Support:

- Document ``default_error_messages`` on field classes (:pr:`1619`). Thanks :user:`weeix`.

Bug fixes:

- Fix typing in ``class_registry`` (:pr:`1574`). Thanks :user:`mahenzon`.

3.5.1 (2020-03-05)
******************

Bug fixes:

- Includes bug fix from 2.21.0.

3.5.0 (2020-02-19)
******************

Bug fixes:

- Fix list of nullable nested fields ``List(Nested(Field, allow_none=True)``
  (:issue:`1497`). Because this fix reverts an optimization introduced to
  speed-up serialization and deserialization of lists of nested fields, a
  negative impact on performance in this specific case is expected.

3.3.0 (2019-12-05)
******************

Features:

- ``fields.Nested`` may take a callable that returns a schema instance.
  Use this to resolve order-of-declaration issues when schemas nest each other (:issue:`1146`).

.. code-block:: python

    # <3.3
    class AlbumSchema(Schema):
        title = fields.Str()
        artist = fields.Nested("ArtistSchema", only=("name",))


    class ArtistSchema(Schema):
        name = fields.Str()
        albums = fields.List(fields.Nested(AlbumSchema))


    # >=3.3
    class AlbumSchema(Schema):
        title = fields.Str()
        artist = fields.Nested(lambda: ArtistSchema(only=("name",)))


    class ArtistSchema(Schema):
        name = fields.Str()
        albums = fields.List(fields.Nested(AlbumSchema))

Deprecations:

- Passing the string ``"self"`` to ``fields.Nested`` is deprecated.
  Use a callable instead.

.. code-block:: python

    from marshmallow import Schema, fields

    # <3.3
    class PersonSchema(Schema):
        partner = fields.Nested("self", exclude=("partner",))
        friends = fields.List(fields.Nested("self"))


    # >=3.3

Features:

- *Backwards-incompatible*: Validation does not occur on serialization (:issue:`1132`).
  This significantly improves serialization performance.
- *Backwards-incompatible*: ``DateTime`` does not affect timezone information
  on serialization and deserialization (:issue:`1234`, :pr:`1278`).
- Add ``NaiveDateTime`` and ``AwareDateTime`` to enforce timezone awareness
  (:issue:`1234`, :pr:`1287`).
- *Backwards-incompatible*: ``List`` does not wrap single values in a list on
  serialization (:pr:`1307`).

Features:

- Propagate ``only`` and ``exclude`` parameters to ``Nested`` fields
  within ``List`` and ``Dict`` (:issue:`779`, :issue:`946`).
- Use ``email.utils.parsedate_to_datetime`` instead of conditionally
  using dateutil for parsing RFC dates (:pr:`1246`).

  for parsing  ISO 8601 datetimes, dates and times. Timezone info is now
  correctly deserialized whether or not dateutil is installed. (:pr:`1265`)
- Improve error messages for ``validate.Range``.
- Use ``raise from error`` for better stack traces (:pr:`1254`). Thanks
  :user:`fuhrysteve`.
- python-dateutil is no longer used. This resolves the inconsistent behavior
  based on the presence of python-dateutil (:issue:`497`, :issue:`1234`).

Bug fixes:

- Fix method resolution for ``__init__`` method of ``fields.Email`` and
  ``fields.URL`` (:issue:`1268`). Thanks :user:`dursk` for the catch and patch.

- Switch to Azure Pipelines for CI (:issue:`1261`).

3.0.0rc7 (2019-06-15)
+++++++++++++++++++++

Features:

- *Backwards-incompatible*: ``many`` is passed as a keyword argument to methods decorated with
  ``pre_load``, ``post_load``, ``pre_dump``, ``post_dump``,
  and ``validates_schema``. ``partial`` is passed as a keyword argument to
  methods decorated with ``pre_load``, ``post_load`` and ``validates_schema``.
  ``**kwargs`` should be added to all decorated methods.
- Add ``min_inclusive`` and ``max_exclusive`` parameters to
  ``validate.Range`` (:issue:`1221`). Thanks :user:`kdop` for the PR.

Bug fixes:

- Fix propagation of ``partial`` to ``Nested`` containers (part of :issue:`779`).
- Includes bug fix from 2.19.3.

Other changes:

  and :user:`maxalbert` for the PR.

Deprecations/Removals:

- Remove ``fields.FormattedString`` (:issue:`1141`). Use
  ``fields.Function`` or ``fields.Method`` instead.

Bug fixes:

- Includes bug fix from 2.19.2.

3.0.0rc4 (2019-02-08)
+++++++++++++++++++++

Features:

- Add ``fields.Tuple`` (:issue:`1103`) Thanks :user:`zblz` for the PR.

- A ``ValueError`` is raised when the ``missing`` parameter is passed
  for required fields (:issue:`1040`).
- Extra keyword arguments passed to ``ValidationError`` in validators
  are no longer passed to the final ``ValidationError`` raised upon
  validation completion (:issue:`996`).

3.0.0rc1 (2018-11-29)
+++++++++++++++++++++

Features:

- *Backwards-incompatible*: Rework ``ValidationError`` API.
  It now expects a single field name, and error structures are merged
  in the final ``ValidationError`` raised when validation completes.
  This allows schema-level validators to raise errors for individual
  fields (:issue:`441`). Thanks :user:`maximkulkin` for
  writing the original ``merge_errors`` implementation in :pr:`442` and thanks
  :user:`lafrech` for completing the implementation in :pr:`1026`.

Bug fixes:

3.0.0b19 (2018-10-24)
+++++++++++++++++++++

Features:

- Support partial loading of nested fields (:pr:`438`). Thanks
  :user:`arbor-dwatson` for the PR. *Note*: Subclasses of ``fields.Nested``
  now take an additional ``partial`` parameter in the ``_deserialize``
  method.

Bug fixes:

- Restore ``Schema.TYPE_MAPPING``, which was removed in 3.0.0b17 (:issue:`1012`).

Other changes:

- *Backwards-incompatible*: ``_serialize`` and ``_deserialize`` methods of
all ``fields.Field`` subclasses must accept ``**kwargs`` (:pr:`1007`).


3.0.0b18 (2018-10-15)
+++++++++++++++++++++

Bug fixes:

- Fix ``Date`` deserialization when using custom format (:issue:`1001`). Thanks
  :user:`Ondkloss` for reporting.

Deprecations/Removals:

- ``prefix`` parameter or ``Schema`` class is removed (:issue:`991`). The same
  can be achieved using a ``@post_dump`` method.


3.0.0b17 (2018-10-13)
+++++++++++++++++++++

Features:

- Add ``format`` option to ``Date`` field (:pr:`869`).
- *Backwards-incompatible*: Rename ``DateTime``'s ``dateformat`` Meta option
  to ``datetimeformat``. ``dateformat`` now applies to ``Date`` (:pr:`869`).
  Thanks :user:`knagra` for implementing these changes.
- Enforce ISO 8601 when deserializing date and time (:issue:`899`).
  Thanks :user:`dushr` for the report and the work on the PR.
- *Backwards-incompatible*: Raise ``ValueError`` on ``Schema`` instantiation in
  case of ``attribute`` or ``data_key`` collision (:pr:`992`).

Bug fixes:

- Fix inconsistencies in field inference by refactoring the inference feature
  into a dedicated field (:issue:`809`). Thanks :user:`taion` for the PR.
- When ``unknown`` is not passed to ``Nested``, default to nested ``Schema``
  ``unknown`` meta option rather than ``RAISE`` (:pr:`963`).
  Thanks :user:`vgavro` for the PR.
- Fix loading behavior of ``fields.Pluck`` (:pr:`990`).
- Includes bug fix from 2.16.0.

3.0.0b16 (2018-09-20)
+++++++++++++++++++++

Bug fixes:

- Fix ``root`` attribute for nested container fields
  on inheriting schemas (:issue:`956`). Thanks :user:`bmcbu`
  for reporting.

3.0.0b15 (2018-09-18)
+++++++++++++++++++++

Bug fixes:

- Raise ``ValidationError`` instead of ``TypeError`` when non-iterable types are
  validated with ``many=True`` (:issue:`851`).
- ``many=True`` no longer iterates over ``str`` and ``collections.abc.Mapping`` objects and instead
  raises a ``ValidationError`` with ``{'_schema': ['Invalid input type.']}`` (:issue:`930`).
- Return ``[]`` as ``ValidationError.valid_data`` instead of ``{}`` when
  ``many=True`` (:issue:`907`).

Thanks :user:`tuukkamustonen` for implementing these changes.

3.0.0b14 (2018-09-15)
+++++++++++++++++++++

Features:

- Add ``fields.Pluck`` for serializing a single field from a nested object
  (:issue:`800`). Thanks :user:`timc13` for the feedback and :user:`deckar01`
  for the implementation.
- *Backwards-incompatible*: Passing a string argument as ``only`` to
  ``fields.Nested`` is no longer supported. Use ``fields.Pluck`` instead
  (:issue:`800`).
- Raise a ``StringNotCollectionError`` if ``only`` or ``exclude`` is
  passed as a string to ``fields.Nested`` (:pr:`931`).
- *Backwards-incompatible*: ``Float`` takes an ``allow_nan`` parameter to
  explicitly allow serializing and deserializing special values (``nan``,
  ``inf`` and ``-inf``). ``allow_nan`` defaults to ``False``.

Other changes:

- *Backwards-incompatible*: ``Nested`` field now defaults to ``unknown=RAISE``
  instead of ``EXCLUDE``. This harmonizes behavior with ``Schema`` that
  already defaults to ``RAISE`` (:issue:`908`). Thanks :user:`tuukkamustonen`.
- Tested against Python 3.7.

3.0.0b13 (2018-08-04)
+++++++++++++++++++++

Bug fixes:

- Errors reported by a schema-level validator for a field in a ``Nested`` field
  are stored under corresponding field name, not ``_schema`` key (:pr:`862`).
- Includes bug fix from 2.15.4.

Other changes:

- *Backwards-incompatible*: The ``unknown`` option now defaults to ``RAISE``
  (`#524 (comment) <https://github.com/marshmallow-code/marshmallow/issues/524#issuecomment-397165731>`_,
  :issue:`851`).
- *Backwards-incompatible*: When a schema error is raised with a ``dict`` as
  payload, the ``dict`` overwrites any existing error list. Before this change,
  it would be appended to the list.
- Raise a `StringNotCollectionError` if ``only`` or ``exclude`` is
  passed as a string (:issue:`316`). Thanks :user:`paulocheque` for
  reporting.

3.0.0b12 (2018-07-04)
+++++++++++++++++++++

Features:

- The behavior to apply when encountering unknown fields while deserializing
  can be controlled with the ``unknown`` option (:issue:`524`,
  :issue:`747`, :issue:`127`).
  It makes it possible to either "include", "exclude", or "raise".
  Thanks :user:`tuukkamustonen` for the suggestion and thanks
  :user:`ramnes` for the PR.

.. warning::

  The default for ``unknown`` will be changed to ``RAISE`` in the
  next release.

Other changes:

- *Backwards-incompatible*: Pre/Post-processors MUST return modified data.
  Returning ``None`` does not imply data were mutated (:issue:`347`). Thanks
  :user:`tdevelioglu` for reporting.
- *Backwards-incompatible*: ``only`` and ``exclude`` are bound by
  declared and additional fields. A ``ValueError`` is raised if invalid
  fields are passed (:issue:`636`). Thanks :user:`jan-23` for reporting.
  Thanks :user:`ikilledthecat` and :user:`deckar01` for the PRs.

- *Backwards-incompatible*: Change the signature of ``utils.get_value`` and ``Schema.get_attribute`` for consistency with Python builtins (e.g. ``getattr``) (:issue:`341`). Thanks :user:`stas` for reporting and thanks :user:`deckar01` for the PR.

++++++++++++++++++++

Features:

- Add useful ``__repr__`` methods to validators (:issue:`204`). Thanks :user:`philtay`.
- *Backwards-incompatible*: By default, ``NaN``, ``Infinity``, and ``-Infinity`` are invalid values for ``fields.Decimal``. Pass ``allow_nan=True`` to allow these values. Thanks :user:`philtay`.

- Fix serialization of ``None`` for ``Time``, ``TimeDelta``, and ``Date`` fields (a regression introduced in 2.0.0a1).

Includes bug fixes from 1.2.6.

2.0.0b1 (2015-04-26)
++++++++++++++++++++

Features:

- Errored fields will not appear in (de)serialized output dictionaries (:issue:`153`, :issue:`202`).
- Instantiate ``OPTIONS_CLASS`` in ``SchemaMeta``. This makes ``Schema.opts`` available in metaclass methods. It also causes validation to occur earlier (upon ``Schema`` class declaration rather than instantiation).
- Add ``SchemaMeta.get_declared_fields`` class method to support adding additional declared fields.

Deprecation/Removals:

- Remove ``allow_null`` parameter of ``fields.Nested`` (:issue:`203`).

Changes from 2.0.0a1:

- Fix serialization of `None` for ``fields.Email``.

2.0.0a1 (2015-04-25)
++++++++++++++++++++

Features:

- *Backwards-incompatible*: When ``many=True``, the errors dictionary returned by ``dump`` and ``load`` will be keyed on the indices of invalid items in the (de)serialized collection (:issue:`75`). Add ``index_errors=False`` on a Schema's ``class Meta`` options to disable this behavior.
- *Backwards-incompatible*: By default, fields will raise a ValidationError if the input is ``None``. The ``allow_none`` parameter can override this behavior.
- *Backwards-incompatible*: A ``Field's`` ``default`` parameter is only used if explicitly set and the field's value is missing in the input to `Schema.dump`. If not set, the key will not be present in the serialized output for missing values . This is the behavior for *all* fields. ``fields.Str`` no longer defaults to ``''``, ``fields.Int`` no longer defaults to ``0``, etc. (:issue:`199`). Thanks :user:`jmcarp` for the feedback.
- In ``strict`` mode, a ``ValidationError`` is raised. Error messages are accessed via the ``ValidationError's`` ``messages`` attribute (:issue:`128`).
- Add ``allow_none`` parameter to ``fields.Field``. If ``False`` (the default), validation fails when the field's value is ``None`` (:issue:`76`, :issue:`111`). If ``allow_none`` is ``True``, ``None`` is considered valid and will deserialize to ``None``.
- Schema-level validators can store error messages for multiple fields (:issue:`118`). Thanks :user:`ksesong` for the suggestion.
- Add ``pre_load``, ``post_load``, ``pre_dump``, and ``post_dump`` Schema method decorators for defining pre- and post- processing routines (:issue:`153`, :issue:`179`). Thanks :user:`davidism`, :user:`taion`, and :user:`jmcarp` for the suggestions and feedback. Thanks :user:`taion` for the implementation.
- Error message for ``required`` validation is configurable. (:issue:`78`). Thanks :user:`svenstaro` for the suggestion. Thanks :user:`0xDCA` for the implementation.
- Add ``load_from`` parameter to fields (:issue:`125`). Thanks :user:`hakjoon`.
- Add ``load_only`` and ``dump_only`` parameters to fields (:issue:`61`, :issue:`87`). Thanks :user:`philtay`.
- Add `missing` parameter to fields (:issue:`115`). Thanks :user:`philtay`.
- Schema validators can take an optional ``raw_data`` argument which contains raw input data, incl. data not specified in the schema (:issue:`127`). Thanks :user:`ryanlowe0`.
- Add ``validate.OneOf`` (:issue:`135`) and ``validate.ContainsOnly`` (:issue:`149`) validators. Thanks :user:`philtay`.
- Error messages for validators can be interpolated with `{input}` and other values (depending on the validator).
- ``fields.TimeDelta`` always serializes to an integer value in order to avoid rounding errors (:issue:`105`). Thanks :user:`philtay`.
- Add ``include`` class Meta option to support field names which are Python keywords (:issue:`139`). Thanks :user:`nickretallack` for the suggestion.
- ``exclude`` parameter is respected when used together with ``only`` parameter (:issue:`165`). Thanks :user:`lustdante` for the catch and patch.
- ``fields.List`` works as expected with generators and sets (:issue:`185`). Thanks :user:`sergey-aganezov-jr`.

Deprecation/Removals:

- ``MarshallingError`` and ``UnmarshallingError`` error are deprecated in favor of a single ``ValidationError`` (:issue:`160`).
- ``context`` argument passed to Method fields is deprecated. Use ``self.context`` instead (:issue:`184`).
- Remove ``ForcedError``.
- Remove support for generator functions that yield validators (:issue:`74`). Plain generators of validators are still supported.
- The ``Select/Enum`` field is deprecated in favor of using ``validate.OneOf`` validator (:issue:`135`).
- Remove legacy, pre-1.0 API (``Schema.data`` and ``Schema.errors`` properties) (:issue:`73`).
- Remove ``null`` value.

Other changes:

- ``Marshaller``, ``Unmarshaller`` were moved to ``marshmallow.marshalling``. These should be considered private API (:issue:`129`).
- Make ``allow_null=True`` the default for ``Nested`` fields. This will make ``None`` serialize to ``None`` rather than a dictionary with empty values (:issue:`132`). Thanks :user:`nickrellack` for the suggestion.

1.2.6 (2015-05-03)
++++++++++++++++++

Bug fixes:

- Fix validation error message for ``fields.Decimal``.
- Allow error message for ``fields.Boolean`` to be customized with the ``error`` parameter (like other fields).

1.2.5 (2015-04-25)
++++++++++++++++++

Bug fixes:

- Fix validation of invalid types passed to a ``Nested`` field when ``many=True`` (:issue:`188`). Thanks :user:`juanrossi` for reporting.

1.2.4 (2015-03-22)
++++++++++++++++++

Bug fixes:

- Fix behavior of ``as_string`` on ``fields.Integer`` (:issue:`173`). Thanks :user:`taion` for the catch and patch.

1.2.1 (2015-01-11)
++++++++++++++++++

Bug fixes:

- A ``Schema's`` ``error_handler``--if defined--will execute if ``Schema.validate`` returns validation errors (:issue:`121`).
- Deserializing `None` returns `None` rather than raising an ``AttributeError`` (:issue:`123`). Thanks :user:`RealSalmon` for the catch and patch.

1.2.0 (2014-12-22)
++++++++++++++++++

Features:

- Add ``QuerySelect`` and ``QuerySelectList`` fields (:issue:`84`).
- Convert validators in ``marshmallow.validate`` into class-based callables to make them easier to use when declaring fields (:issue:`85`).
- Add ``Decimal`` field which is safe to use when dealing with precise numbers (:issue:`86`).

Thanks :user:`philtay` for these contributions.

- Fix bug that raised an ``AttributeError`` when using a class-based validator.
- Fix ``as_string`` behavior of Number fields when serializing to default value.
- Deserializing ``None`` or the empty string with either a ``DateTime``, ``Date``, ``Time`` or ``TimeDelta`` results in the correct unmarshalling errors (:issue:`96`). Thanks :user:`svenstaro` for reporting and helping with this.
- Fix error handling when deserializing invalid UUIDs (:issue:`106`). Thanks :user:`vesauimonen` for the catch and patch.
- ``Schema.loads`` correctly defaults to use the value of ``self.many`` rather than defaulting to ``False`` (:issue:`108`). Thanks :user:`davidism` for the catch and patch.
- Validators, data handlers, and preprocessors are no longer shared between schema subclasses (:issue:`88`). Thanks :user:`amikholap` for reporting.
- Fix error handling when passing a ``dict`` or ``list`` to a ``ValidationError`` (:issue:`110`). Thanks :user:`ksesong` for reporting.

Deprecation:

- The validator functions in the ``validate`` module are deprecated in favor of the class-based validators (:issue:`85`).

- Exclude virtualenv directories from syntax checking (:issue:`99`). Thanks :user:`svenstaro`.


1.1.0 (2014-12-02)
++++++++++++++++++

Features:

- Add ``Schema.validate`` method which validates input data against a schema. Similar to ``Schema.load``, but does not call ``make_object`` and only returns the errors dictionary.
- Add several validation functions to the ``validate`` module. Thanks :user:`philtay`.
- Store field name and instance on exceptions raised in ``strict`` mode.

Bug fixes:

- Fix serializing dictionaries when field names are methods of ``dict`` (e.g. ``"items"``). Thanks :user:`rozenm` for reporting.
- If a Nested field is passed ``many=True``, ``None`` serializes to an empty list. Thanks :user:`nickretallack` for reporting.
- Fix behavior of ``many`` argument passed to ``dump`` and ``load``. Thanks :user:`svenstaro` for reporting and helping with this.
- Fix ``skip_missing`` behavior for ``String`` and ``List`` fields. Thanks :user:`malexer` for reporting.

1.0.1 (2014-11-18)
++++++++++++++++++

Hotfix release.

- Ensure that errors dictionary is correctly cleared on each call to ``Schema.dump`` and ``Schema.load``.

1.0.0 (2014-11-16)
++++++++++++++++++

Adds new features, speed improvements, better error handling, and updated documentation.

- Add ``skip_missing`` ``class Meta`` option.
- A field's ``default`` may be a callable.
- Allow accessor function to be configured via the ``Schema.accessor`` decorator or the ``__accessor__`` class member.
- ``URL`` and ``Email`` fields are validated upon serialization.
- ``dump`` and ``load`` can receive the ``many`` argument.
- Move a number of utility functions from fields.py to utils.py.
- More useful ``repr`` for ``Field`` classes.
- If a field's default is ``fields.missing`` and its serialized value is ``None``, it will not be included in the final serialized result.
- Schema.dumps no longer coerces its result to a binary string on Python 3.
- *Backwards-incompatible*: Schema output is no longer an ``OrderedDict`` by default. If you want ordered field output, you must explicitly set the ``ordered`` option to ``True``.
- *Backwards-incompatible*: ``error`` parameter of the ``Field`` constructor is deprecated. Raise a ``ValidationError`` instead.
- Expanded test coverage.
- Updated docs.

1.0.0-a (2014-10-19)
++++++++++++++++++++

Major reworking and simplification of the public API, centered around support for deserialization, improved validation, and a less stateful ``Schema`` class.

* Rename ``Serializer`` to ``Schema``.
* Support for deserialization.
* Use the ``Schema.dump`` and ``Schema.load`` methods for serializing and deserializing, respectively.
* *Backwards-incompatible*: Remove ``Serializer.json`` and ``Serializer.to_json``. Use ``Schema.dumps`` instead.
* Reworked fields interface.
* *Backwards-incompatible*: ``Field`` classes implement ``_serialize`` and ``_deserialize`` methods. ``serialize`` and ``deserialize`` comprise the public API for a ``Field``. ``Field.format`` and ``Field.output`` have been removed.
* Add ``exceptions.ForcedError`` which allows errors to be raised during serialization (instead of storing errors in the ``errors`` dict).
* *Backwards-incompatible*: ``DateTime`` field serializes to ISO8601 format by default (instead of RFC822).
* *Backwards-incompatible*: Remove ``Serializer.factory`` method. It is no longer necessary with the ``dump`` method.
* *Backwards-incompatible*: Allow nesting a serializer within itself recursively. Use ``exclude`` or ``only`` to prevent infinite recursion.
* *Backwards-incompatible*: Multiple errors can be stored for a single field. The errors dictionary returned by ``load`` and ``dump`` have lists of error messages keyed by field name.
* Remove ``validated`` decorator. Validation occurs within ``Field`` methods.
* ``Function`` field raises a ``ValueError`` if an uncallable object is passed to its constructor.
* ``Nested`` fields inherit context from their parent.
* Add ``Schema.preprocessor`` and ``Schema.validator`` decorators for registering preprocessing and schema-level validation functions respectively.
* Custom error messages can be specified by raising a ``ValidationError`` within a validation function.
* Extra keyword arguments passed to a Field are stored as metadata.
* Fix ordering of field output.
* Fix behavior of the ``required`` parameter on ``Nested`` fields.
* Fix serializing keyed tuple types (e.g. ``namedtuple``) with ``class Meta`` options.
* Fix default value for ``Fixed`` and ``Price`` fields.
* Fix serialization of binary strings.
* ``Schemas`` can inherit fields from non-``Schema`` base classes (e.g. mixins). Also, fields are inherited according to the MRO (rather than recursing over base classes). Thanks :user:`jmcarp`.
* Add ``Str``, ``Bool``, and ``Int`` field class aliases.

0.7.0 (2014-06-22)
++++++++++++++++++

* Add ``Serializer.error_handler`` decorator that registers a custom error handler.
* Add ``Serializer.data_handler`` decorator that registers data post-processing callbacks.
* *Backwards-incompatible*: ``process_data`` method is deprecated. Use the ``data_handler`` decorator instead.
* Fix bug that raised error when passing ``extra`` data together with ``many=True``. Thanks :user:`buttsicles` for reporting.
* If ``required=True`` validation is violated for a given ``Field``, it will raise an error message that is different from the message specified by the ``error`` argument. Thanks :user:`asteinlein`.
* More generic error message raised when required field is missing.
* ``validated`` decorator should only wrap a ``Field`` class's ``output`` method.

0.6.0 (2014-06-03)
++++++++++++++++++

* Fix bug in serializing keyed tuple types, e.g. ``namedtuple`` and ``KeyedTuple``.
* Nested field can load a serializer by its class name as a string. This makes it easier to implement 2-way nesting.
* Make ``Serializer.data`` override-able.

0.5.5 (2014-05-02)
++++++++++++++++++

* Add ``Serializer.factory`` for creating a factory function that returns a Serializer instance.
* ``MarshallingError`` stores its underlying exception as an instance variable. This is useful for inspecting errors.
* ``fields.Select`` is aliased to ``fields.Enum``.
* Add ``fields.__all__`` and ``marshmallow.__all__`` so that the modules can be more easily extended.
* Expose ``Serializer.OPTIONS_CLASS`` as a class variable so that options defaults can be overridden.
* Add ``Serializer.process_data`` hook that allows subclasses to manipulate the final output data.

0.5.4 (2014-04-17)
++++++++++++++++++

* Add ``json_module`` class Meta option.
* Add ``required`` option to fields . Thanks :user:`DeaconDesperado`.
* Tested on Python 3.4 and PyPy.

0.5.3 (2014-03-02)
++++++++++++++++++

* Fix ``Integer`` field default. It is now ``0`` instead of ``0.0``. Thanks :user:`kalasjocke`.
* Add ``context`` param to ``Serializer``. Allows accessing arbitrary objects in ``Function`` and ``Method`` fields.
* ``Function`` and ``Method`` fields raise ``MarshallingError`` if their argument is uncallable.


0.5.2 (2014-02-10)
++++++++++++++++++

* Enable custom field validation via the ``validate`` parameter.
* Add ``utils.from_rfc`` for parsing RFC datestring to Python datetime object.

0.5.1 (2014-02-02)
++++++++++++++++++

* Avoid unnecessary attribute access in ``utils.to_marshallable_type`` for improved performance.
* Fix RFC822 formatting for localized datetimes.

0.5.0 (2013-12-29)
++++++++++++++++++

* Can customize validation error messages by passing the ``error`` parameter to a field.
* *Backwards-incompatible*: Rename ``fields.NumberField`` -> ``fields.Number``.
* Add ``fields.Select``. Thanks :user:`ecarreras`.
* Support nesting a Serializer within itself by passing ``"self"`` into ``fields.Nested`` (only up to depth=1).
* *Backwards-incompatible*: No implicit serializing of collections. Must set ``many=True`` if serializing to a list. This ensures that marshmallow handles singular objects correctly, even if they are iterable.
* If Nested field ``only`` parameter is a field name, only return a single value for the nested object (instead of a dict) or a flat list of values.
* Improved performance and stability.
