These two releases contain an incompatible change to the (I)PlaceholderHandler interface, thus the new minor versions. The Evaluate method now receives a variable number of string arguments in addition to the textual content of the element/attribute. This allows placeholders like ${xmlunit.matchesRegex(some\s*regex)}.

For XMLUnit.NET only the placeholders package has changed, for Java in addition the assertj module is now supposed to be compatible with AssertJ 3.15+.

Release Notes for XMLUnit for Java 2.7.0:

• the AssertJ tests now pass on non-English locales as well
  Issue #180
• added a workaround for a binary incompatible change in AssertJ that caused xmlunit-assertj to be incompatible with AssertJ 3.15.0
  Issue #181
• added a new ${xmlunit.matchesRegex(regex)} placeholder
  PR #178 by @Jazzyekim.
• add a new ${xmlunit.isDateTime} placeholder
  inspired by #xmlunit.net/31 and #xmlunit.net/32 by MilkyWare
  Issue #174
• avoid unnecessary creation of DocumentBuilderFactory in DOMDifferenceEngine when a custom factory has been provided to DiffBuilder.
  Issue #182

Release Notes for XMLUnit.NET 2.8.0:

• add a new ${xmlunit.isDateTime} placeholder
  PRs #31 and #32 by MilkyWare
• added a new ${xmlunit.matchesRegex(regex)} placeholder
  based on Java PR xmlunit/#178 by @Jazzyekim.

Both releases fix a common bug where the XPath reported for missing nodes could be wrong in certain edge cases.

• the XPath values for comparisons resulting in CHILD_LOOKUP differences could be wrong when NodeFilters were present. XMLUnit.NET Issue #29

This is the only change in XMLUnit.NET. In XMLUnit for Java the AssertJ module has also been improved and is supposed to be compatible with AssertJ 3.13+ now.

The full list of changes for XMLUnit for Java:

• the dependencies on JAXB implementation and its transitive dependencies has been promoted from test scope to optional for Java 9 and later Issue #162
• added containsAnyNodeHavingXPath, containsAllNodesHavingXPath and hasXPath assertions to xmlunit-assertj.
• added extractingAttribute method to xmlunit-assertj.
• removed some redundant instanceof checks. PR #171 by @PascalSchumacher.
• xmlunit-assertj should now work with AssertJ-Core 3.13.x Issue #166
• xmlunit-legacy will now use NewDifferenceEngine even when an ElementQualifier different from the built-in ones is used.
