v1.8.0

This release mainly contains performance improvements for the JSON parser

• JSON
  • Make the JSON parser allocate less data (mainly less strings and options). See #453 by @satabin
    • Some of these improvements are made directly in the CharLikeChunk type and as such should benefit every text base format using them
    • To leverage the full improvements made in CharLikeChunks, parsers need to be adapted
    • Inheritance of CharLikeChunks has been deprecated and will be sealed in the future
  • Avoid creation of JSON Token when unnecessary. See #491 by @satabin
    • When parsing an input stream directly to circe Json type (or any Json AST), intermediate tokens are not constructed anymore, improving the performance
    • According to our measurement, fs2-data-json-circe is now on par with circe-fs2 and can be used as a drop-in replacement.
• Infrastructure
  • Artifacts are now published to s01.oss.sonatype.org. See #494 by @satabin
