🚀 Ghost Serializer 1.3.3 is out — a fast, low-allocation KMP serializer (JSON, YAML, Proto3 JSON) generated with KSP.

New since 1.3.1:
• No more manual registration on iOS/Wasm — a small compiler plugin, applied by the Gradle plugin, links each @GhostSerialization
class to its serializer at compile time (associated objects, like kotlinx.serialization). No Ghost.addRegistry() needed.
• Kotlin 2.2.21+ (was 2.4.0) — verified in CI on 2.2.21, 2.3.21 and 2.4.0
• JSONPath on decode errors ($.user.addresses[1].zip) plus fix hints for common failures
• Faster decoding (SWAR number parsing), with no extra allocation

Bug fixes:
• `Double`/`Float` round trips are now exact (some values used to come back slightly different)
• YAML writer: keys with leading/trailing spaces or special characters are quoted correctly
• String-channel decode no longer crashes on a non-Latin-1 char inside a \u escape
• Models whose defaults reference nested classes compile again
• Android AARs no longer require compileSdk 36
• Gradle plugin works alongside Ktorfit-style shared KSP output (no duplicate serializers)
