Release 6.0

And the long awaited v6 is here!

Highlights

• Code has been completely refactored for simplicity, maintenance, speed, efficiency and is DRY
• validator.New now accepts a config struct to allow for adding of new param and keep backward compatibility
• Hierarchy error structure has been removed both validate "Field" and "Struct" now returns ValidationErrors which is really a map[string]*FieldError, but had to type it so ValidationErrors can be used as a regular error type.
• Func ( validation funcs ) have been updated to the following input params (topStruct reflect.Value, currentStruct reflect.Value, field reflect.Value, fieldType reflect.Type, fieldKind reflect.Kind, param string) was already getting the reflect Value, so why pass it around by interface just to look at the value all over again.
• When validating a struct the Struct Name is prepended to the error key i.e. Struct User and Field Name the error key will be "User.Name"
• v6 is intended to be a long term stable release and only additions to validation functions.

Release 5.10.3

Changed CI from travis to semaphore

Release 5.10.2

updated the following basked in functions to use utf8.RuneCountInString for string length comparisons:
hasLengthOf
isGt
isGte
isLt
isLte

thanks @zhing for the pulls request

Release v5.10.1

Fixed issue where interface was set but had no validation tag

for #106

Release 5.10

updated to use native go sync.Pool for better parallel speed
updated goveralls so that if their service, which at the time of writing is all buggered up, won't stop travis-ci success

NOTE: to support sync.Pool the library no longer supports go 1.2

Release 5.9.2

Updated Flatten Function to handle new dive logic for #88

Release 5.9.1

Correct interface panic issue #85 thanks to @manucorporat and @semihalev for finding it
Add interface type handling, not the library will determine the underlying type and validate it.

Release v5.9

At long last support for traversing through slice, array and maps and validating at any or all levels!

see documentation for the new "dive" tag

benchmarks have slightly increased ns/op and B/ops for this functionality and an additional allocation for single field validation.

for #78

Release 5.8.1

Fix Issue with nested struct as pointer being nil causing validation to fail

Release 5.8

RGB and RGBA regexes

updated to properly validate rgb 255 or rgb percentabe, it no longer allows mixing and matching; either all percentages or all numbers from 0-155

GODOC

Added some godoc examples to better illustrate functions usages

Validators

A huge shout out to @asaskevich for having allot of these validations that I ported from his govalidator, I would not have been able to add them so quickly without his groundwork, Thanks!
