[Xmlunit-general] XMLUnit 2.0.0 Release Getting Closer

[Stefan B. <bo...@ap...>]

Hi all

during the past few days I've made up my mind on filtering out
attributes and nodes you don't want to become part of a comparison.  You
can now specify Predicates to filter them out (AttributeFilter and
NodeFilter).

I've published new SNAPSHOT builds for the Java version, nugets for .NET
are available for every build from AppVeyor.  The site has been updated
with the latest Javadocs.

Please take your time to look over the current API and yell at me if
something looks seriously wrong.

Next I'll figure out packaging of releases (independent from Maven
Central and Nuget) and after that am ready to create 2.0.0-alpha
releases.  The timeframe I've set for myself would see the alpha release
around the weekend starting with the 21st.

The idea is to call the alpha release "final" after people have played
with the API and feel it is usable.

The intention is to have point releases after the release and use
semantic versioning when introducing backwards-compatible API changes.
Let's hope there is no need for backwards incompatible API changes soon.
