v0.11.0

New Features:

• new hash function: Komihash 5.0

Incompatible changes:

• removed classes AbstractHashStream32, AbstractHashStream64, and AbstractHashStream128 from public interface

v0.10.0

New Features:

• better and slightly more accurate default estimator for UltraLogLog (UltraLogLog.OPTIMAL_FGRA_ESTIMATOR)
