## Unreleased

### Added

### Security

## 0.6.2 - 2023-07-29

### Changed
- Meta to Json serializer now serializes a single item with index as an array. It is important for plotly integration.

- More fine-grained types in Action builders.

### Changed
- `Name::replaceLast` API
- `PluginFactory` no longer requires plugin class
- Collection<Named> toMap -> associateByName
- Simplified `DFTL` envelope format. Closing symbols are unnecessary. Properties are discontinued.

- Kotlin 1.8.20
- `Factory` is now `fun interface` and uses `build` instead of `invoke`. `invoke moved to an extension.

- Experimental `listOfSpec` delegate.

### Changed
- **API breaking** Config is deprecated, use `ObservableMeta` instead.

- Relaxed type restriction on `MetaConverter`. Now nullables are available.
- **Huge API-breaking refactoring of Meta**. Meta now can have both value and children. There is only one kind of descriptor now.

- **API breaking** Configurable`config` changed to `meta`

### Removed
- `Config`
- Public PluginManager mutability
- Tables and tables-exposed moved to the separate project `tables.kt`
