[Xmlunit-general] XMLUnit for Java and XMLUnit.NET 2.0.0-alpha-02 Released

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

XMLUnit 2.0 is a complete rewrite of XMLUnit that is available for
Java and .NET.  It builds upon the ideas and experience of XMLUnit for
Java 1.x but comes with a new API and new implementation.

XMLUnit 2.0 consists of a Core library without any external
dependencies and an additional library of Hamcrest Matchers / NUnit
Constraints.

XMLUnit for Java provides a third artifact that provides a
compatibility layer with XMLUnit 1.6 that bridges the old API to the
new implementation.

The 2.0.0-alpha-02 release is the first official pre-release of XMLUnit
2.0 (there has been a nuget package with the version 2.0.0-alpha-01
before, therefore the 02).  We'd like to encourage people to use it and
provide feedback about the API in case it needs to get adapted before
the final release.  Please join the xmlunit-general list[1] or use
GitHub issues to provide feedback.

XMLUnit 2.0.0-alpha-02 is available as GitHub release via
https://github.com/xmlunit/xmlunit/releases/tag/v2.0.0-alpha-02/ and
https://github.com/xmlunit/xmlunit.net/releases/tag/v2.0.0-alpha-02/
respectively.

XMLUnit for Java is also available via Maven Central.
