-- Simplify encoding logic ([e8205bc](https://github.com/dnaka91/wazzup/commit/e8205bcb6749fce6dd1f56ede38128076820bffd))
-- Implement basic decoding logic ([f67c572](https://github.com/dnaka91/wazzup/commit/f67c57220ac2c57961bf54f7f47bca467d3fb20b))
+- Implement encoding in the Rust codegen ([2787b51](https://github.com/dnaka91/stef/commit/2787b51c04803311bf5ca3160b37e7db31d5a8ea))
+- Simplify encoding logic ([e8205bc](https://github.com/dnaka91/stef/commit/e8205bcb6749fce6dd1f56ede38128076820bffd))
+- Implement basic decoding logic ([f67c572](https://github.com/dnaka91/stef/commit/f67c57220ac2c57961bf54f7f47bca467d3fb20b))
+- Skip any decoding for unit structs/variants ([8f5a4ec](https://github.com/dnaka91/stef/commit/8f5a4ec3cd7377ac2f0eb7183c201fbf388d9ce2))
+- Create playground crate and fix issues ([b55862f](https://github.com/dnaka91/stef/commit/b55862f3dafe8276faad9309cebff2cdcaec8ea3))
+- Extend syntax highlighting ([0d83290](https://github.com/dnaka91/stef/commit/0d83290e1367edc1a8f9c7686bb2032067c177fa))
+- Adjust encoding of option<T> ([39c6ccb](https://github.com/dnaka91/stef/commit/39c6ccba84c71688346ce9cd33bc2530ee0a746c))
+- Unroll container type en-/decoding ([3d64436](https://github.com/dnaka91/stef/commit/3d64436501d5e395ba27e9acc51bd82aa312a8d8))
+  > Instead of relying on generic implementations for the Rust generated
+  > code that en- or decodes the data, these are defined as closures.
+  > 
+  > The main benefit is that it allows optimized calls that would not be
+  > possible through the trait system (for example a fast encoding of
+  > `Vec<u8>` instead of the regular `Vec<T>` encoding that would write the
+  > bytes one-by-one).
+- Implement Decode for non-zero types ([8f7e85e](https://github.com/dnaka91/stef/commit/8f7e85ef5ed68e1cd401927b54ad39ba97441fb4))
+- Accept glob patterns for schema input files ([d8f5e43](https://github.com/dnaka91/stef/commit/d8f5e439acc25afb096820b66fcf97bae34d3e91))
+- Add non-zero collection types ([e0fc43e](https://github.com/dnaka91/stef/commit/e0fc43ea968a9ca1586642eff937005648eed346))
+  > This expands from non-zero integer values to non-zero collections,
+  > meaning `non_zero<T>` specializations where `T` is one of `string`,
+  > `bytes`, `vec<T>`, `hash_map<K, V>` or `hash_set<T>`.
+  > 
+  > Any other `non_zero<T>` types are now refused as there is no clear way
+  > of defining what non-zero means for other types (or at least not a
+  > single _correct_ way).
+  > 
+  > Also, snapshot tests includes missing adjustments from the last commits
+  > that introduced further `#[allow(...)]` attributes in the Rust
+  > implementation.
+- Validate for unique IDs in structs and enums ([3295f0c](https://github.com/dnaka91/stef/commit/3295f0c4300f839b9cbbd4c6ba035b834e4e6c4f))
+  > Add the first "compiler" validation logic, which ensures that each ID:
+  > - in named or unnamed fields of a struct or enum variant is unique
+  > - in variants of an enum is unique
+- Validate field and variant name uniqueness ([9137e20](https://github.com/dnaka91/stef/commit/9137e20e3724ac18232375303a153503b51ea435))
+  > Ensure that all fields in a struct or enum variant are uniquely named,
+  > as well as all variants within a single enum.
+- Nicely report compiler errors ([2737f20](https://github.com/dnaka91/stef/commit/2737f20013cfe0d1fbf6b4a80ef101917183119a))
+  > Extend parser structs with spans to generate nice error reports with
+  > annotated source code, like being done for parser errors.
+- Verify that generics are unique and used ([f3e0ced](https://github.com/dnaka91/stef/commit/f3e0ced34080afba025410ef340b4521514b8911))
+  > All defined generics in structs or enums must have a unique name and be
+  > used in some way inside the definition of the element. These new
+  > verifications in the compiler ensure the rules are upheld.
+- Improve error output on compile error ([bd15eba](https://github.com/dnaka91/stef/commit/bd15eba414df2b21bce00384ea79634a3c27670b))
+- Enable glob parsing for CLI path arguments ([b44bc1b](https://github.com/dnaka91/stef/commit/b44bc1b305828589c4b682b426b6cb94a9b583d8))
+  > In addition to only accepting a list of files for the `check` and
+  > `format` command, the input is now treated as glob pattern.
+- Add snapshot tests for compiler errors ([0efc118](https://github.com/dnaka91/stef/commit/0efc118308a3e79ec1edddb833328c80182ea8cb))
+  > Verify good compiler error output by creating several snapshot tests.
+  > Also, slightly improve some of the messages.
+- En-/decode non-zero integers directly ([f165d61](https://github.com/dnaka91/stef/commit/f165d618e91a70ab805a9f23f1139177150db4f4))
+  > Instead of driving the encoding and decoding of non-zero integer types
+  > through the Encode/Decode trait, use direct function calls which allows
+  > for specialized calls with better performance.
+- Ensure uniqueness of all module declarations ([d09e182](https://github.com/dnaka91/stef/commit/d09e182b28fd12e2952888c5f3c002abeb7914ec))
+  > Verify that all declared elements within a module (including the schema
+  > root which is a module itself) have a unique name so they can't collide.
+- Resolve all local types in schemas ([2b518ab](https://github.com/dnaka91/stef/commit/2b518ab70920b86ac8a5e9e6fa8aea5579fdd1aa))
+  > Check that all external types defined in any struct or enum definition
+  > exist within the bounds of the schema and give nice error messages in
+  > case a type can't be located.

+- Supress warning about dereference operator ([21b2f69](https://github.com/dnaka91/stef/commit/21b2f6996254ed945af4ff5acc249870785b7f68))
+- Correctly check aliases and imports unique identifiers ([9c88e32](https://github.com/dnaka91/stef/commit/9c88e3291a169bb237e726e099468fd14f5766c5))
+  > Aliases couldn't be checked to a non-optimal struct format in its first
+  > version and imports were skipped when then don't have a final type
+  > element.
