Core

• support for bitOrder property
• support for encodingErrorPolicy="replace"
• fix bug where schemas using import/include were not properly validated, causing various error messages
• fix bug where lengthKind="explicit" in some cases incorrectly included initiators and terminators in the content length

• improve error messages when invalid regular expressions are used in properties like testPattern and lengthPattern
• fix error with when runtime byteOrder expressions fail
• fix potential thread safety bugs in delimiter scanning

...

• decrease the amount of memory needed for performance suboption, allowing for many more input files to be used
• removed the --namespace option and modified --root option to optionally include the namespace, for example, --namespace ns --root r is now --root {ns}r

Daffodil 0.12.0 - detailed changelog

Dependencies

• upgrade to Saxon-HE-9.5.1-1
• upgrade to jdom2-2.0.5
• upgrade to scallop-0.9.4

...

• check for unescaped curly braces in DFDL literals
• ignore dfdl:representation when type is xs:hexBinary or xs:string. Representation is assumed to be binary with xs:hexBinary, and text with xs:string
• remove defaulting of dfdl:sequenceKind to ordered. The property must now be specified
• fix bug causing the use of the wrong root element when not provided via the API or CLI
• report schema definition error when no terminator is supplied, but lengthKind='delimited' and tralingSkip > 0
• add check for alignment ambiguity
• require xs:string and xs:hexBinary to defined minOccurs/maxOccurs when lengthKind='implicit'
• when a delimiter is not found, display what was found in the error message
• check for distinctness of delimiters
• disallow whitespace in some properties. Instead the DFDL character entites such as %SP; must  must be used instead
• add support for DFDL expressions in escapeCharacter and escapeEscapeCharacter 
• fix incorrect parse failures when escapeEscapeCharacter was set to the empty string

API

• add new function to the Compiler Compiler setValidateDFDLSchemas to enable/disable DFDL schema validation, such as unique particle attribute and various facet related checks

...

• modify --validation-mode option to have the form form --validate [mode]. If If mode is  is not provided, it defaults to "on". If --validate is not provided, validation defaults to "off".
