-Revision 0.4.6, released XX-01-2019
+Revision 0.4.6, released XX-06-2019
-----------------------------------
- Added `omitEmptyOptionals` option which is respected by `Sequence`
and `Set` encoders. When `omitEmptyOptionals` is set to `True`, empty
initialized optional components are not encoded. Default is `False`.
+- New elements to `SequenceOf`/`SetOf` objects can now be added at any
+ position - the requirement for the new elements to reside at the end
+ of the existing ones (i.e. s[len(s)] = 123) is removed.
+- Removed default initializer from `SequenceOf`/`SetOf` types to ensure
+ consistent behaviour with the rest of ASN.1 types. Before this change,
+ `SequenceOf`/`SetOf` instances immediately become value objects behaving
+ like an empty list. With this change, `SequenceOf`/`SetOf` objects
+ remain schema objects unless a component is added or `.clear()` is
+ called.
+ This change can potentially cause incompatibilities with existing
+ pyasn1 objects which assume `SequenceOf`/`SetOf` instances are value
+ objects right upon instantiation.
+ The behaviour of `Sequence`/`Set` types depends on the `componentType`
+ initializer: if on `componentType` is given, the behaviour is the
+ same as `SequenceOf`/`SetOf` have. IF `componentType` is given, but
+ neither optional nor defaulted components are present, the created
+ instance remains schema object, If, however, either optional or
+ defaulted component isi present, the created instance immediately
+ becomes a value object.
+- Added `.reset()` method to all constructed types to turn value object
+ into a schema object.
