New: it is now possible to emit lists indented, rather than aligned with their parent (#317 - thanks to @Cloudate9 for the PR)

For example, previously, kaml would produce output like this:

list:
- 1
- 2
- 3

With this change, if you set the newly added sequenceBlockIndent property on YamlConfiguration to 2, the output would be: (notice the extra indentation for the list items)

list:
  - 1
  - 2
  - 3

Updated: build against Kotlin 1.7.10.

New: it is now possible to serialise comments for object properties by applying a YamlComment annotation to the property (#287 - thanks to @slava110 for the PR)

For example, serializing this class:

@Serializable
data class Configuration(
    @YamlComment("The host to connect to")
    val hostname: String,
    @YamlComment("The port to connect to ")
    val port: Int
)

will result in output like:

# The host to connect to
hostname: my.server.com
# The port to connect to
port: 1234

New: it's now possible to emit plain (unquoted) string values with SingleLineStringStyle.Plain and MultiLineStringStyle.Plain (#253 - thanks to @nefilim for the PR)

⚠️ Breaking change: YamlConfiguration.singleLineScalarStyle has been renamed to singleLineStringStyle (#253 - thanks to @nefilim for the PR)
