Release Notes

This release focused on tranisitioning the codebase to Scala 2.13. In addition to this rather significant change, there were several relatively small bug fixes and process improvements that are included with this release.

Transition the entire codebase to Scala 2.13

This change took a lot of time and touched nearly half of all our Scala files. In addition to making the eventual transition to Scala 3 easier, Scala 2.13 has shown some small but consistent performance improvements compared to Daffodil 3.10.0 running Scala 2.12.

• For those using the Daffodil API from Scala, you will need to upgrade your application to Scala 2.13.
• For those using the Daffodil API from Java, the transition should be seamless

See Daffodil 3.11.0 and Scala 2.13 Transition for more details.

• [DAFFODIL-2152] Add support for Scala 2.13
• [DAFFODIL-2987] Drop Scala 2.12

Miscellaneous Bugs/Improvements

• [DAFFODIL-2991] Debugger short names are broken
• [DAFFODIL-2989] Plugins failing to initialize does not provide enough information in some cases
• [DAFFODIL-2984] Diagnostic API does not allow for getting just the message
• [DAFFODIL-2980] MSI files are not reproducible
• [DAFFODIL-2976] Update daffodil-schema.g8 giter to use most recent best practices
• [DAFFODIL-2973] Daffodil is unable to open its own XSD files inside a linux native image produced with Quarkus
• [DAFFODIL-2969] Update license copyright to 2025
• [DAFFODIL-2943] "LengthKind=""prefix"" textPadKind=""padChar"" incorrectly padding around prefixed length"
• [DAFFODIL-2942] Missing return after PE for Out of Range Binary Integers
• [DAFFODIL-2716] giter8 schema project generator should create types file.
• [DAFFODIL-2658] lengthKind 'prefixed' with textTrimKind 'padChar' padding not removed from value.

Deprecation/Compatibility

• [DAFFODIL-2984] Diagnostic API does not allow for getting just the message

  A new Diagnostic.getMessageOnly() function is added to get just the message portion of a diagnostic, excluding mode, schema location, and data location portions. A future release of Daffodil may change Diagnostic.getMessage() to match this behavior, and getMessageOnly() may be removed. To ensure the current behavior is maintained with future releases, API users should call Diagnostic.toString() instead, which will always include the mode, message, schema location, and data location.

• [DAFFODIL-2980] MSI files are not reproducible

  The windows installer has switched from an MSI to an EXE. Installing the new version will not uninstall the previous version. Previously installed Daffodil MSIs should be uninstalled prior to installing new EXEs.

• [DAFFODIL-2152] Add support for Scala 2.13

  Note that some changes in 2.13 may affect the order of prefixes with the same namespace and may also cause them to appear uniformly but interchangeably. Ex: xmlns="urn:bin" xmlns:b="urn:bin" <element/> may become xmlns:b="urn:bin" xmlns="urn:bin" <b:element/> and vice versa.
