+# Changes in 7.1.9
+- Fixed: numeric bounds from `short`/`byte`/`ushort`/`uint`/`ulong`/`sbyte`-typed rules were silently dropped (Issue #222)
+  - `IsNumeric` in the shared core (`MicroElements.OpenApi.FluentValidation`) only recognized `int`/`long`/`float`/`double`/`decimal`/`BigInteger`, so a `Between`/`Comparison` rule whose bound was a small integer type (e.g. `InclusiveBetween((short)1, (short)99)`) matched but produced no `minimum`/`maximum` — even though the generator emits `"type": "integer"` for the property. This could not be worked around at the validator definition site because those rule overloads only accept bounds of the property's own type
+  - Fix: `IsNumeric` now recognizes all integer primitives (`sbyte`/`byte`/`short`/`ushort`/`int`/`uint`/`long`/`ulong`) in addition to the floating/decimal/`BigInteger` types; `NumericToDecimal` already converted them all. One change in the shared core fixes all three providers (Swashbuckle, NSwag, and the native `Microsoft.AspNetCore.OpenApi` transformer)
+
 # Changes in 7.1.8
 - Security (Issue #220): closed a transitive high-severity advisory in the published package. `Swashbuckle.AspNetCore.SwaggerGen` on the net10.0 target was bumped `10.0.0` → `10.2.1`, which resolves `Microsoft.OpenApi` to the patched `2.7.5` (was `2.3.0`). This clears **GHSA-v5pm-xwqc-g5wc / CVE-2026-49451** (CWE-674 uncontrolled recursion — a circular `$ref` schema could stack-overflow the OpenAPI reader). The net8.0/net9.0 targets use Swashbuckle 8.1.1 → Microsoft.OpenApi v1 and were never in the advisory range
 - Media type & file size validation for `IFormFile` uploads (Issue #216): stable rollup of everything in `7.1.8-beta.1` and `7.1.8-beta.2` below (new File-level rules `.FileContentType()`, `.MaxFileSize()`, `.MinFileSize()`, `.FileSizeBetween()`; Swashbuckle / NSwag / Microsoft.AspNetCore.OpenApi emit multipart `encoding.contentType` and description annotations)
