 v2.6 will be a backwards-compatible release with: improved performance (incl. frozen data size), a new low-level DataInput/DataOuput API, improved support for headerless freezing, and 1-to-1 binary-value representation guarantees. See the [Changelog](https://github.com/ptaoussanis/nippy/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md) for details.
