 # Changelog
+## [7.0.0] - 2023-08-14
+*BREAKING CHANGE*: Every type is now defined inline, this means that 'required' is no longer supported, if a field isn't nullable it is automatically required. This also means that the 'array' type is no longer supported and is instead just defined like 'List<T>'.
+
 ## [6.3.0] - 2023-06-05
 - Fixed the deprecated `ignore` field. Added
-```
+```yaml
     includeFromJson: false
     includeToJson: false

 Currently all basic types are supported, simple Lists and Maps (no nested types, no nullable generic parameters) as well as references to other objects.
 Items post-fixed with `?` will be marked optional.
