dataclasses-json

This reverts the removal of encode_json 0.5.0

This release updates pytest to 6.5.2, because of a security fix in its transitive dependency py (which will be indirectly upgraded to >=1.10.

Note pytest is not installed by default with this package -- only when you specify want dev mode (see setup.py file).

Move FieldOverrides outside of function as a perf optimization
(#225). Thanks @justinaustin

BREAKING CHANGE
The optional encode_json parameter has been removed from to_dict().
It should not have been exposed in the first place, and I don't expect
many to be affected. Nonetheless, this is a breaking change, and hence
the minor version bump (see note on versioning in the docs).

Fix deprecation warning (#216). Thanks @stevenj

Add config option to exclude fields with a predicate (#221). Thanks

Performance optimization via caching (#175, #148). Thanks @Germandrummer92 @konstin

Introduce API for global config of encoders by type (#139).

To elaborate, you can now define globally how to encode any unsupported
type, rather than have to specify for every individual field.

BREAKING CHANGE

configured_dataclass_json has been removed in favor of a single dataclass_json decorator that optionally takes arguments.

To upgrade to this release, simply replace all occurrences of configured_dataclass_json with dataclass_json (a find-and-replace-in-all-files should suffice).

Note that the no arg version of the decorator:

@dataclass_json
class Example
    ...

will continue to work and requires no code changes
