Research direction

Start by inspecting the referenced commit and reproducing nullable-schema validation with a None value on version 0.13.3. Done means the regression is covered by the project's validation checks and the fix is available in a subsequent patch release.

Description

Hi,

I've just upgrade openapi-core on my project to 0.13.3, after some months without upgrading, and now nullable schemas are not validating None values anymore.

I found a commit which seems to fix the issue: https://github.com/p1c2u/openapi-core/commit/7307794656106323b1f46cebd7525fcb265f5f28 - but this seems to have been fixed after the latest tag.

Can you release a new patch version, with the most recent fixes, please? I use nullable schemas quite a lot, and need that fix...

Thanks!
