XMLUnit for Java 2.8.0 and XMLUnit.NET 2.9.0 Released

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

XMLUnit for Java 2.7.0 and XMLUnit.NET 2.8.0 Released

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.

XMLUnit for Java 2.6.4 and XMLUnit.NET 2.7.2 Released

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.

XMLUnit.NET 2.7.0 Released

This release is identical to XMLUnit.NET 2.7.0-beta-01. It adds support for .NET Standard 2.0 in addition to the traditional .NET Framework 3.5.

Many thanks to @shatl who performed most of the heavy lifting which has made this release possible.
