- Added a helper method for AvroType.dependentNamedTypes to short-circuit infinite recursion in case of cyclic type dependency graphs.
- Added tests for the above change in RecursiveRecordSpec.scala
- Removed some extraneous debugging from AvroUnionIOSpec.scala
- Fixed a typo in the README.
Added some basic docblock descriptions to the concrete subtypes of AvroType.
- Improved logging dependencies, now only slf4j-api is a transitive dependency, while logback is used for testing.
Cleaned up (minor refactoring, removed unused imports) AvroType subclasses
- Implemented a new AvroJArray AvroType subclass for bare arrays
- Implemented a new AvroJArrayIO AvroTypeIO subclass for (de)serialization of bare arrays
- Added a test case to AvroTypeSpec for AvroJArray
- Implemented I/O tests in a new AvroJArrayIOSpec class
-  Added new method ReflectionHelpers.classTagForType for reflective array creation
Added information about the new bare Array support to the README.
- Added AvroXml and AvroXmlIO to map the scala.xml.Node scala type to the primitive Avro string type, tests for same.
- Removed premature calls to BinaryEncoder.flush from the internal AvroTypeIO.write methods.
- Added ReflectionHelpers.varargsFactory[T] for deriving a factory method by reflecting on the supplied type's companion (allows for more possibilities than a varargs apply method).  Added for the benefit of scala.xml.NodeSeq, which extends Seq[scala.xml.Node] but lacks a varargs apply.
- Added information about the new reflective factory method support for collections to the README
Added SBT dependency graph inspector plugin.
Made the logger member of the Logging trait a lazy val to delay static initializers when mixed into singletons (SLF4J needs time to load the adapters).
- Refactored AvroType.fromTypeHelper to call new static methods defined on AvroType subclass companion objects; this method was way too long for its own good.
Updated the project version in the build definition for release.
- Updated the README to reflect the new latest release version
- Fixed the project version (almost skipped a number).
