+Breaking changes / important additions:
+
+- Added helper function ``forced_singular_serializer`` to disable a list detection on a endpoint, that has been quite difficult to properly
+  undo previously. This closes the functional gap for ``@extend_schema_serializer(many=False)`` in single-use (non-envelope) situations.
+- Several small bugfixes
