 # Changelog
+## [6.0.0] - 2022-10-04
+- Added the ability to specify simple fields in a more compact way, inline.
+
+Example: id and id2, name and name2 are equivalent notations
+```yaml
+ExampleModel:
+  properties:
+    id: string
+    id2: 
+      type: string
+      required: true
+    name: string?
+    name2:
+      type: string
+      required: false
+```
+
 ## [5.9.0] - 2022-03-29
 - *POTENTIALLY BREAKING CHANGE*: By default, fields with a default value will now accept 'null' to use their default value
 - Add options to control whether fields with default value accepts 'null' or not

+## Inline types (since 6.0.0)
+
+In some cases, writing the full specification for simple fields is very verbose. Since 6.0.0 it is possible to write simple fields inline, without nesting below the field name:
+
+```yaml
+UserModel:
+  properties:
+    id: int
+    name: String
+    age: int
+    is_active: bool?
+    created_at: DateTime
+    roles: List<string>
+    customProperties: Map<String, Property>?
+```
+
+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.
+
 ## Enum support
 
 Add enums with custom values
