  inside of a piece of XML or verify additional assertions on the
  XPath's stringified result.

• added new implementations inside DifferenceEvaluators for common
  tasks like changing the outcome for specific differences or ignoring
  changes inside the XML prolog.

XMLUnit for Java 2.0.0

After three alpha releases this is the first release of XMLUnit for Java 2.x.

Change when compared to 2.0.0-alpha-04 are

• implemented DiffBuilder.withComparisonFormatter mentioned in user
  guide.
  Issue #51
• eliminated dead-stores.
  PR #52 by
  @georgekankava.

XMLUnit for Java 2.0.0-alpha-04

This is the third alpha release of XMLUnit for Java 2.0.0.

The implementation is considered stable enough for a production release. This is an alpha release as we need more people to try out the API in order to call it final.

Breaking Changes since 2.0.0-alpha-03

• the schemaURI in Validator has been pushed down to
  ParsingValidator since it is only used inside this class.
• the mapping of DifferenceEngine#setNamespaceContext has been
  inverted from prefix -> URI to URI -> prefix in order to be
  consistent with the same concept in XPathEngine.

Other Changes since 2.0.0-alpha-03

• CommentLessSource uses an XSLT stylesheet internally which lacked
  the required version attribute. PR
  #47 by
  @phbenisc.
• Comparison now also contains the XPath of the parent of the
  compared nodes or attributes which is most useful in cases of
  missing nodes/attributes because the XPath on one side is null in
  these cases.

  org.sonatype.oss:oss-parent as its parent.
• added new overloads to XPathEngine
• fixed the XPath context used by the byXPath element selector so
  that "." now refers to the current element.
