0.12      2026-03-24 11:55:32 EDT

0.11      2026-02-19 18:05:46 EST (TRIAL RELEASE)

  [API]

    * RESULT_REVISIT_CONTAINER is deprecated in favor of
      RESULT_REVISIT_CONTENTS.

  [ENHANCEMENT]

    * the root structure may now be explicitly visited (previously
      only its contents were visited) by passing VISIT_ROOT as
      the 'visit' parameter.

    * new traversal directive, RESULT_REVISIT_ROOT, immediately restarts
      the traversal at the root structure.

  [DOCUMENTATION]

    * lots of changes

0.10      2026-02-18 10:28:32-05:00 America/New_York (TRIAL RELEASE)

  [ENHANCEMENT]

    * traversal directives RESULT_CONTINUE and RESULT_STOP_DESCENT may
      be combined with RESULT_REVISIT_CONTAINER

    * new metadata fields:
      * visit: which scan (visit/revisit) of a container is underway
      * idx: the order of the current element in the container

  [DOCUMENTATION]

    * example traversal paths are automatically generated

0.09      2026-02-09 17:51:04-05:00 America/New_York (TRIAL RELEASE)

  [API]

    * sort_keys is deprecated; use key_sort or idx_sort

  [ENHANCEMENT]

    * new options key_sort & idx_sort for specifiying
      how to traverse hashes and arrays provides much
      more efficient alternative ordering.  key sorting
      can be turned off.

    * improved docs.

  [ENHANCEMENTS]

    * elements with values that are containers may be revisited after
