Core

add support for runtime expressions in byteOrder
add support for sequenceKind="unordered"
add support for infoset validation, three modes
1. "on": check constraints and Xerces validation
2. "limited": check constraints, no Xerces validation
3. "off"" no validation performed
add support for external variables
add support for advanced text number properties:
- textStandardDecimalSeparator (static & dynamic)
- textStandardGroupingDeparator (static & dynamic)
- textStandardExponentRep (static & dynamic) (renamed from textStandardExponentCharacter)
- textStandardInfinityRep
- textStandardNaNRep
- textStandardZeroRep
- textNumberPattern
- textNumberCheckPolicy
- textNumberRounding
- textNumberRoundingMode
- textNumberRoundingIncrement
add new DFDL expression compiler to better detect invalid expressions, primarily those related to unordered sequences
add min/maxOccurs validation check
require appinfo source attribute to be "http://www.ogf.org/dfdl/"
add support for binary and text xs:decimal type
improve diagnostics when a variable is used but not set
fix bug with dynamic separators using variables
fix SDE detection on last required element when maxOccurs="unbounded" and {{occursCountKind="implicit"}}
fix lengthKind='pattern' to not error when a match is not found, but instead to return a length of zero
fix bug where nonNegativeInteger range was not checked correctly
fix bug iso-8859-1 support

Java API

CLI

new options to enable external variables
- -D, --variables to define one or more external variables
- -c, --config to define an XML file containing external variables
new option for validation
- --validation-mode=<mode>, where mode can be "on", "off", or "limited"

TDML

ability to enable validation via a new attribute, validation="<mode>", placed on a parserTestCase

API

new function added to the DataProcessor to modify validation mode: setValidationMode(mode)
new compile methods added to to supply external variables, one method takes a Map and one takes a File
new methods added to the DataProcessor to the DataProcessor to supply external variables, setExternalVariables(), which can accept wither a File, Map, or list of Binding
