v0.9.3

What's Changed

This release fixes several bugs, including some edge cases involving IGNORE_ALWAYS and the memory usage increase that was introduced in protovalidate-go v0.9.1. In addition, it introduces GlobalValidator (#216) and Filter (#185).

Using the Filter API, it is possible to entirely ignore rules on a specific message, field or oneof, or only consider rules on specific messages, fields and oneofs. Using the GlobalValidator API, it is easier for libraries to both accept a user-provided Validator instance while defaulting to the global Validator instance, reducing memory usage.

Note

While we strive to not break the API unnecessarily, protovalidate-go is still considered unstable and APIs may still potentially change in backwards incompatible ways in the future until v1.0, hopefully very infrequently. In particular, the Filter API is still under active consideration.

Several dependencies are updated.
