## [Unreleased]
<!--
### Features

  - `my_method()`
  - `other_method()`
-->

## v0.4.2 (2023-02-05)

### Bug Fixes

* Fix Clippy warnings in the build workflow.

## v0.4.1 (2023-02-05)

### Bug Fixes

* Fix readme badge, as per [badges/shields#8671](https://github.com/badges/shields/issues/8671).

## v0.4.0 (2022-04-18)

### Features
- Add benchmarks to compare performance against `serde_with`.
- Flatten some nested `match` arms into simpler `if` statements.
- Update `as_bool`
  - Update to check for a new "truthy" string value of  `ON`.
  - Add pattern matching to check common *true/false* values **before** converting the string
    to uppercase, which should make it overall more efficient.
- `serde_this_or_that` is now on par - in terms of performance - with `serde_with`! This is
  truly great news.

## v0.3.0 (2022-04-17)

### Breaking Changes
- Remove dependency on the `derive` feature of `serde`
  - Add it as an optional feature named `derive` instead.

### Features
- Replace `utilities` keyword with `this-or-that`, as I want crate to be
 searchable when someone types "this or that".
- Update docs.

## v0.2.0 (2022-04-17)

### Features

- Add `as_string` helper function, to coerce values to an owned `String` type.
- Update to handle *empty strings* and `null` values in JSON (should be deserialized as "zero" values).
- Round `floats` when converting to `u64` or `i64`.
- Similarly, handle floating-point values in strings when converting to `u64` or `i64`.
- Refactor to use `Result<Self::Value, E>` everywhere, instead of `Result<T, E>`.
- Rename `de.rs` -> `de_impl.rs` to avoid name conflicts.
- Add example `as_string.rs`
- Update *examples/*
- Update docs

## v0.1.1 (2022-04-16)
