I've just released new minor versions of XMLUnit for Java and XMLUnit.NET. Both releases are improvements.

Changelog for XMLUnit for Java 2.8.4:

• improved comparison performance for documents with many siblings
  based on a suggestion by @gerpres made in #236

Changelog for XMLUnit.NET 2.9.1

• improved comparison performance for documents with many siblings
  based on a suggestion by @gerpres made in Java Issue xmlunit/#236
• added a new FullDescription method to Diff that provides a string-representation of all differences - not just the first one like ToString does.
  Based on Java PR xmlunit/#235 by @Boiarshinov

Right now there seem to be some issues with Sonatype's OSS Nexus (likely under heavy load) so it may take a bit longer than usual for the new Java artifacts to show up in Maven Central.

This release fixes a shortcoming of the AssertJ support modules and adds a new convenience feature to the Diff class.

The full list of changes:

• added a new fullDescription method to Diff that provides a string-representation of all differences - not just the first one like toString does.
  PR #235 fixing #232 by @Boiarshinov
• made sure AssertJ's methods to override the assertion message like withFailMessage are honored. #225
• adjusted unit tests so they pass when AssertJ 3.19.0 is used. PR #212 by mmathesius

This release fixes a bug in the new AssertJ 3.x module.

• CompareAssert inside the AssertJ3 module swapped the expected and actual parameters when creating the assertion error.

The only real change when compared to XMLUnit for Java 2.8.0 is the introduction of a new xmlunit-assertj3 module that requires AssertJ 3.18.1 or later in order to address a problem with running AssertJ tests in an OSGi environment.

The original xmlunit-assertj module will still be supported.

The full changelog of XMLUnit for Java 2.8.1:

• added a new xmlunit-assertj3 module that requires AssertJ 3.18.1 or later.

  This module no longer uses AssertJ internal classes that are not exported to OSGi environments and thus fixes issue #203.

  The module (like AssertJ 3.x itself) requires Java 8 at runtime and is similar to xmlunit-assertj but is no drop-in replacement. It uses a different Java package from xmlunit-assertj and CompareAssert will no longer throw a JUnit 4.x ComparisonException but an opentest4j AssertionFailedError instead.

  The existing xmlunit-assertj module will still be supported in future releases but expect AssertJ 3.x specific changes to only get applied to xmlunit-assertj3.

  Many thanks to @Zegveld, @scordio and @joel-costigliola.

Both releases are mostly bugfix releases. Unfortunately both are going to break backwards compatibility for some people.

All modules of XMLUnit for Java now require Java7 as a minimum and the optional JAXB dependency has been updated to use the Jakarta XML Binding API. XMLUnit.NET has made ISource disposable which is going to break custom implementations.

Details for XMLUnit for Java 2.8.0

• changed optional JAXB dependency to use Jakarta XML Binding API PR #186 by @endrejeges
• bumped the bytebuddy dependency to 1.10.10 for the AssertJ module in the hope it would help with #188 - and change its scope from provided to compile time, which should finally fix the issue.
• added a new extractingText method to MultipleNodeAssert to make it possible to write AssertJ assertions against the textual content of nodes more easily. Issue #192 and PR #193 by @keesvandieren
• changed the minimum Java version required from Java 6 to Java 7 for all modules (it has already been Java 7 for the AssertJ module before).
• DefaultNodeMatcher with multiple ElementSelectors could fail to find the best matches as the order of ElementSelectors should select them. #197
• Input builder now supports java.nio.file.Path #196
• It is now possible to specify a custom TransformerFactory for DefaultComparisonFormatter. #195

Details for XMLUnit.NET 2.9.0

• ISource now extends IDisposable to allow releasing unmanaged resources used when building sources from files or URIs. This change is backwards incompatible if you are providing ISource implementations of your own. #33.
• DefaultNodeMatcher with multiple ElementSelectors could fail to find the best matches as the order of ElementSelectors should select them. Issue similar to xmlunit/#197
