What's Changed

• Add a parse method wrapper and caching to fix AoT compilation by @EdwardCooke in #1103
  BREAKING CHANGE This is a breaking change in the TypeInspectorSkeleton class and the ITypeInspector interface by adding 2 methods . Quick fix to resolve those breaking changes in your own custom TypeInspector is to return false on the HasParseMethod method and return null or throw an exception on the Parse method.

What's Changed

• Security improvements by @EdwardCooke in #1102
  There was a potential breaking change for large yaml files in the MergingParser. You may need to specify the optional parameter for maximum events to be processed. It default to 100k events which is a very large yaml file.
