✨ Added

• The EmailAddressRegex experimental type representing a regular expression for validating email addresses, in the types Gradle subproject (#809).
• The EmailAddress.Companion.orNull(String, EmailAddressRegex) and the EmailAddress.Companion.orThrow(String, EmailAddressRegex) experimental functions, in the types Gradle subproject, for creating an email address matching the specified regular expression (#809).
• The EmailAddressRegex.Companion.stringSerializer() experimental function, in the types-kotlinx-serialization Gradle subproject, for serializing the EmailAddressRegex type as String (#809).
• The KotoolsTypesSerializersModule() experimental function, in the types-kotlinx-serialization Gradle subproject, for providing a collection of default serializers for serializing types provided by Kotools Types (#790).
• The following extension functions on the Zero.Companion experimental type, in the types-kotlinx-serialization Gradle subproject (#793):
  • byteSerializer() for serializing the Zero type as Byte.
  • shortSerializer() for serializing the Zero type as Short.
  • intSerializer() for serializing the Zero type as Int.
  • longSerializer() for serializing the Zero type as Long.
  • floatSerializer() for serializing the Zero type as Float.
  • doubleSerializer() for serializing the Zero type as Double.
  • stringSerializer() for serializing the Zero type as String.
• The EmailAddress.Companion.stringSerializer() experimental function, in the types-kotlinx-serialization Gradle subproject, for serializing the EmailAddress type as String (#794).
• Explanations associated to each symbol used in patterns present in the API reference (fba9c4e).

♻️ Changed

• The README documentation of the types-kotlinx-serialization Gradle subproject, for using the new KotoolsTypesSerializersModule() function (#790).

🗑️ Deprecated

• The EmailAddress.Companion.PATTERN experimental property with an error level for using the EmailAddressRegex.Companion.default() function instead (#809).
• The EmailAddress.Companion.orNull(String, String) experimental function with an error level for using the orNull(String, EmailAddressRegex) overload instead (#809).
• The EmailAddress.Companion.orThrow(String, String) experimental function with an error level for using the orThrow(String, EmailAddressRegex) overload instead (#809).

🔥 Removed

• Versions 4.5.0, 4.5.1 and 4.5.2 from the API reference (#771).
• Experimental declarations from the kotools.types.* packages in the types Gradle subproject (#802). Better alternatives for these declarations will be introduced in the org.kotools.types package.
• The KotoolsTypesSerializers experimental type from the types-kotlinx-serialization Gradle subproject, for using the KotoolsTypesSerializersModule() function instead (#790).
• The ZeroAsByteSerializer experimental type, from the types-kotlinx-serialization Gradle subproject, for using the Zero.Companion.byteSerializer() function instead (#795).
• The EmailAddressAsStringSerializer experimental type, from the types-kotlinx-serialization Gradle subproject, for using the EmailAddress.Companion.stringSerializer() function instead (#796).
