Release Highlights

The 0.20.3 release contains a blend of bug fixes and feature enhancements. Highlights of the release include:

• Improvements to the modificationAttribute logic. A modification attribute can be designated on an RKEntityMapping to accelerate mapping of large payloads by intelligently detecting changes on a per object basis. (Issue #1391)
• Fixed memory leaks in RKOperationStateMachine. (Issue #1404)
• Added support for mapping the @parent and @root pseudo-key-paths. This enhancement provides for upward traversal of representations at mapping time, greatly enhancing mapping flexibility. Big thanks to @percysnoodle on this one. (Issue #1435)
• Added support for custom data source implementations in the network layer. (Issue #1442)
• Added support for using RKRequestMethod as a bitmask in routing. (Issue #1476)
• Added support for using RKReqeustMethod bitmask values in RKRequestDescriptor and RKResponseDescriptor. (Issue #1482)
• Added support for intelligently mapping additional objects in a payload by eliminating reliance on targetObject in RKMapperOperation. (Issue #1309)
