Subject: [PATCH] Loosen elixir requirement to ~> 1.16
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Downstream projects on Elixir 1.16–1.19 (notably pi_bridge) need
to resolve json_codec, but the current "~> 1.20" constraint blocks
mix deps.get on those releases. The codec macros and generated
codec code do not use any 1.20+ features, so loosen the floor to
"~> 1.16".

Bump to 0.1.5 so downstream mix.exs can pin the new version.

 # Changelog
 
+## 0.1.5 - 2026-06-15
+
+- Loosen the `elixir:` requirement from `~> 1.20` to `~> 1.16` so downstream projects on Elixir 1.16–1.19 can resolve `json_codec`. The codec macros and generated code do not use 1.20+ features.
+
 ## 0.1.4 - 2026-06-13
 
 - Fix `defstruct` literal defaults so values like `%{}` remain runtime values instead of escaped AST.
