 ## Latest Release Notes
+* *v0.2.21* -> Adds partial support for detecting and decoding rotated MaxiCode symbols. Adds support for basic serialization of many public facing datatypes using serde (gated behind `serde` feature).
+
+    Rotation detection is no longer gated behind the `experimental_features` flag. Rotation of maxicodes is simplistic. Current tests detect about 50% of codes when rotated 90 degrees. Detection of skewed MaxiCodes is now behind `experimental_features`.
+
 * *v0.2.20* -> Adds rudimentary support for MaxiCode detection. The detector works best on unrotated images on a flat plane. Very basic support for rotation correction is gated behind the `experimental_features` flag, but it is not ready for most use cases. The MaxiCode detector is gated behind the `TryHarder` decoder hint, by default rxing uses the old `PureBarcode` implementation.
 * *v0.2.19* -> The datamatrix detector for the c++ version of zxing [zxing-cpp](https://github.com/zxing-cpp/zxing-cpp) has been ported. This features a dramatically different method of detecting datamatrix symbols. If you want to fallback to the original version, include the decode hint TRY_HARDER.
 * *v0.2.15* -> Support for reading and writing svg files through the feature flags `svg_read` and `svg_write`.
