0.3.0

A maintenance release focused on fixing bugs, improving error reporting and overall internal architecture of the library. For this release we've started tracking test coverage and were able to increase it from 11.8% to 75.6%. 🎉 Thanks to @hodovani and @regexident for their work on improving test coverage in this release.

Additions

You can now set errorContextLength: UInt property on XMLDecoder instance, which will make it add a snippet of XML of at most this length from parser state when a parsing error occurs. This change was provided by @hodovani and can greatly help with attempts to parse invalid XML, where previously only a line and column number were reported.

Deprecations

NodeEncodingStrategies was renamed to NodeEncodingStrategy for consistency. NodeEncodingStrategies is still available as a deprecated typealias, which will be removed in future versions. Thanks to @regexident for cleaning this up and providing many more changes in this release that make XMLCoder better and easier to use.
