Upgrade Notes
This release brings performance improvements for Kryo's custom map implementations (#876). These improvements allowed us to change the map for resolving registrations in DefaultClassResolver from a CuckooObjectMap to an IdentityMap with 3-5% faster throughput (#877). CuckooObjectMap is now deprecated and will be removed in Kryo 6.
Kryo now throws dedicated exceptions in case of buffer under- or overflows (#872). If you currently parse the error message to check for these conditions, you can catch KryoBufferUnderflowException and KryoBufferOverflowException instead.
