This is a production release of go-codec.

The main benefits are much expanded testing and associated code fixes, re-factoring and performance improvements:

• removed some code cruft
• expand tests and fix issues around extensions support in codecgen
• clean up codebase for easier maintenance
• and many general performance improvements ...

The main goal has always been to provide the most feature-rich and performant package for encoding and decoding of multiple popular binary and text formats in a consistent way.

We believe we continue to achieve that!
