Release Notes

This release focused on performance improvements and bug fixes. Notably, performance gains were implemented ranging from 5-15% for most formats. An additional 5% improvement gain was implemented when using the CLI to parse large files.

New Features

• [DAFFODIL-864] TDML Runner: Ability to specify errors that should NOT occur

• [DAFFODIL-2927] TDML Runner: Add attribute to specify that unexpected Validation Errors should not be ignored

  The <tdml:errors>, <tdml:warnings>, and <tdml:validationErrors> elements now support match="any" and match="none" attributes to specify that a test must either match all or none of the <tdml:error> diagnostics. Multiple <tdml:errors>, <tdml:warnings>, and <tdml:validationErrors> elements can be specified with different match attributes.

  New ignoreUnexpectedWarnings="true" and ignoreUnexpectedValidationErrors="true" attributes are supported for <tdml:parserTestCase> and <tdml:unparserTestCase> elements, which causes a test to fail if any warnings or validation errors are created but the test does not expect the diagnostic.

• [DAFFODIL-2638] Property to suppress warnings only for a specific place in the schema

  A new daf:suppressSchemaDefinitionWarnings attribute in the Daffodil extension namespace (urn:ogf:dfdl:2013:imp:daffodil.apache.org:2018:ext) can be placed on any schema component to only suppress warnings created by that component. The attribute accepts the same value as the tunable of the same name.

• [DAFFODIL-2919] Need compile API that allows better control over diagnostic path

  A new Compile.compileResource() API method is added to find and compile a schema specified using a resource path.

Miscellaneous Bugs/Improvements

• [DAFFODIL-1124] DPath: xs:date constructor more lax - allows missing digits
• [DAFFODIL-2037] TravisCI results are too verbose
• [DAFFODIL-2331] Remove argType parameter from FNZeroArgExpr and derived classes
• [DAFFODIL-2447] Optimize schemaURIStringsForFullValidation
• [DAFFODIL-2678] LengthUnits being applied to minLength/maxLength facets
• [DAFFODIL-2888] Incorrect out of range warning with constant dfdl:length and length/minLength/maxLength facets
• [DAFFODIL-2899] SDW in SetVariable on VariableRead case incorrectly states VariableSet
• [DAFFODIL-2912] Warning about Counterintuitive placement issued when not needed
• [DAFFODIL-2913] Prepare for Daffodil 3.9.0 development
• [DAFFODIL-2914] Improve release script
• [DAFFODIL-2915] Need better error message when missing plugin
• [DAFFODIL-2916] xs:include of no-namespace schema does not chameleon the references properly
• [DAFFODIL-2918] SchemaFileLocation uriString leads to non-reproducible saved parsers
• [DAFFODIL-2920] Improve performance of BucketingInputSource
• [DAFFODIL-2921] Default CLI to MappedByteBuffer when parsing files instead of a FileInputStream
• [DAFFODIL-2922] Remove unnecesary allocations
• [DAFFODIL-2923] layer doc page on site has bad hyperlink

Deprecation/Compatibility

• [DAFFODIL-2927] TDML Runner: Add attribute to specify that unexpected Validation Errors should not be ignored

  Support for <tdml:validationErrors /> to specify no validation errors should occur is removed. Instead, set the new ignoreValidationErrors="false"

• [DAFFODIL-2916] xs:include of no-namespace schema does not chameleon the references properly

  A bug was fixed so Daffodil now correctly handles resolving unprefixed QName references. However, this means that some unprefixed references that relied on the previous incorrect behavior may not resolve anymore. Although there are a number of ways to fix this, defining a namespace prefix and adding that prefix to broken references should work in all cases.
