🐛 What was fixed?

• This updates the library to better handle and bubble up Slice/Array invalid index definition to avoid future confusion. See #60 as an example.

✨ What's new?

• Add setting use brackets as a namespace separator, thanks @alxfv for the [PR](https://github.com/go-playground/form/pull/56)
• Fix panic when we encode uncomparable fields with omitempty tag, thanks @alxfv for the [PR](https://github.com/go-playground/form/pull/57)

🐛 What was fixed?

• corrected error message for floats always being the first element.

🐛 What was fixed?

• Fixed an `out-of-bounds` exception when a value exists but no parsable values.

✨ What's new?

• Updated deps that now use Go Modules.

✨ What's new?

• Updated to use Go Modules.

🐛 What was fixed?

• Fixed an array/slice index issue for the custom decode function, thanks @vearutop for reporting the [issue](https://github.com/go-playground/form/issues/39)

🐛 What was fixed?

• Fixed encoder issue when `omitempty` used in combination with a pointer. see #34 for details, thanks @mifanich for reporting

🐛 What was fixed?

• Fixed bug introduced in v3.1.1 with array indexes

🐛 What was fixed?

• in PR #32:
• Corrected handling of array, not slice, values that can lead to
• a panic.
• Rearranged logic to handle multiple values if index and non-index are
• mixed eg. `Value=[]string{"1","2"} Value[2]=[]string{"3"}`
• this resolves #29 and #30

✨ What was added

• Added setting for string form value into `interface{}` values; previously they were ignored. thanks @Xzya for the issue
• Why only string and not int, float etc...?
• Because theres no way to tell what type the value should be; just because it *CAN* be parsed into an int, doesn't mean it should be for your application and so I have left it at setting strings.

🐛 What was fixed?

• empty boolean values are now set to false see [here](https://github.com/go-playground/form/issues/21) for details thanks @vearutop

✨ What's new?

• Added Embedded struct support
• Added `omitempty` just like std lib JSON
• Made a version bump to v3.0.0 because the new Embedded struct logic has the potential to affect existing clients.
• please see [examples](https://github.com/go-playground/form/tree/master/_examples) detailing new functionality.
• Thanks to @danielchatfield and @michael2m for creating issues to get these features on the radar :+1:

✨ What was added?

• Added a new function to both the Decoder and Encoder called `RegisterTagNameFunc`.
• Once a custom function has been registered the default, or custom set, tag name is ignored and relies 100% on the function for the field name data.
• The return value WILL BE CACHED and so return value must be CONSISTENT.

🐛 What was fixed?

• Parsing of struct tag, by name, corrected for when multiple tags exists, this was corrected in #15 thanks @htmd

🐛 What was fixed?

• Added additional notes to `RegisterCustomTypeFunc` to indicate that if a struct type is registered a `url.Value` must exist explicitly for the struct and not just the fields.
• eg. `url.Values{"User":"Name%3Djoeybloggs"}` will call the custom type function with `User` as the type, however `url.Values{"User.Name":"joeybloggs"}` will not.
• Fixes #14

✨ What was added?

• Added `Mode` to both the Encoder and Decoder and can be set with the `SetMode(mode)` function on either.
• currently there are 2 modes:
• `ModeImplicit` - the default mode, looks through all fields to encode or decode values
• `ModeExplicit` - looks through only field marked explicitly with the form tag name
• this is for #10 thanks @annismckenzie for the idea
• no breaking changes, just update and enjoy.

✨ What was added?

• Just some more minor backend performance updates, no changes.
• ```
• benchmark old ns/op new ns/op delta
• BenchmarkSimpleUserDecodeStruct-8 318 336 +5.66%
• BenchmarkSimpleUserDecodeStructParallel-8 95.2 99.5 +4.52%
• BenchmarkSimpleUserEncodeStruct-8 1000 972 -2.80%
• BenchmarkSimpleUserEncodeStructParallel-8 325 329 +1.23%
• BenchmarkPrimitivesDecodeStructAllPrimitivesTypes-8 1058 1014 -4.16%
• + 58 more

✨ What's New in 2.0.0?

• [form](https://github.com/go-playground/form) now supports Decoding and Encoding of almost any type, not just structs. for #6
• eg.
• ``` go
• // example url.Values
• values := map[string][]string{ "val1", "val2" }
• var arr []string
• d.Decode(&arr, values)
• ```
• + 2 more

🐛 Any Fixes?

• Corrected a bug where when decoding non indexed array values into an array with existing values was overwriting the current values instead of appending to the array, this has been corrected. ( Don't worry too much, most people won't have been using a pre-filled array )

📋 Changes

• Nothing just some more backend only performance updates.

✨ Whats New?

• Just some more minor backend performance updates inspired by Go 1.7 RC1 changes to the JSON package, parallel performance updated by 10-20% with latest changes.
• ```
• benchmark old ns/op new ns/op delta
• BenchmarkSimpleUserDecodeStruct-8 319 308 -3.45%
• BenchmarkSimpleUserDecodeStructParallel-8 116 94.8 -18.28%
• BenchmarkSimpleUserEncodeStruct-8 1015 989 -2.56%
• BenchmarkSimpleUserEncodeStructParallel-8 411 332 -19.22%
• BenchmarkPrimitivesDecodeStructAllPrimitivesTypes-8 1038 1004 -3.28%
• + 58 more

📋 What Changed?

• backend only changes, no breaking changes.
• fine tuned a few more internals for max performance and decreasing allocations, library is now balanced between primitive and complex struct decoding and encoding with least allocations for both.
• squashed a potential bug with calculated slice length, upgrading to latest version is recommended

📋 What Changed?

• Corrected issue where time pointer, `*time.Time`, was not getting set on the struct field when using built in time parsing. corrected in commit 762ce96aa9e35c0f3e10fe0265e6106e59ff9a03, adding [this line](https://github.com/go-playground/form/blob/master/decoder.go#L557) was the fix.
• Thanks @bikbah for reporting!

✨ What's New

• Nothing anyone needs to worry about, all backend changes.
• Minor performance updates, reduced allocations for maps and arrays.
• Updated Benchmarks

📋 What Changed?

• Nothing just added `ajg/form` benchmarks as a comparison was requested.

✨ What's New?

• Added Array/Slice global limit size, please refer to #2, reported by @justinas
• by default limit is 10,000 which should suit most peoples needs however if a higher or lower limit is desired/required it can be adjusted with the function `SetMaxArraySize(size uint)`
