xmlbeans/trunk/CHANGES.txt

Changes in v2.0.0-beta1:

* new store implementation, including native DOM implementation
* Piccolo is now the default parser.XmlOptions.setLoadUseXMLReader (XMLReader xmlReader) can be used when a diffrent parser is required.
* Sample xml generation from an schema file
* New failfast behavior for simple types, more consistent
* EntityResolver is setable in SchemaCompiler
* XPath 2.0 and Xquery support through Saxon
* java 1.5 generics for array properties added to generated source
* Simplified working with substitution groups by adding XmlObject.substitute() method
* "-noVDoc" command-line option for scomp to skip validation of <xs:documentation> contents
* uniform access to the getSourceName() method in Schema Object Model
* Cleaned up schema compilation APIs with a XmlBeans.compileXmlBeans()
* Added error codes and improved validation error messages
* Changed .xsb format and loading strategy to improve performance
* Ability to pass URLs instead of Files for Wsdl/Schemas
* Added option to pass in "##local" to -allowmdef
* Inst2xsd: support for xsi:nil and qname fix.
* adding getCurrentElementSchemaType in Validator for finding schema types of elements with xsi:type attribute
* adding ValidatingInfoXMLStreamReader for PSVI access on XMLStreamReaders
* added Location to streaming validation errors
* Instance 2 schema tool
* Support for arbitrarily nesting <xsd:redefine>s
* New "schema bookmark" mechanism allowing one to tag user data on Schema Object Model entities
* Add ability for XmlSaxHandler to insert bookmarks while loading
* Added a diff utility that compares two jars (or directories) containing compiled Schema types
* Interface and pre-post extensions
* Enabled ValidatingXMLStreamReader to start validating from both current and next event in the XMLStreamReader
* Functionality to retrieve xml validation errors programatically
* Added saver options to not save xml decl
* Added ability to compile Schemas containing references to SOAP11 encoded arrays
* selectChildren and selectAttributes for dynamic getters and some wildcard scenarios
