+
+#### Deprecation/Compatibility
+
+* `dfdlx:repType` can no longer reference primitive types (e.g. `xs:int`).
+ Instead, a global simple type definition should be created which has a base
+ of the primitive type.
+
+ {% jira 2211 %}
+
+* The `dfdlx:repType` property now must reference a type with an underlying
+ primitive type derived from `xs:integer`, and elements that define
+ `dfdlx:repType` must have an underlying primitive type of `xs:string`
+
+ {% jira 2738 %} {% jira 2809 %}
+
+* `dfdlx:repType`, `dfdlx:repValues`, and `dfdlx:repValueRanges` are now ignored if
+ referenced on `xs:simpleType`s that are referenced from `xs:unions`. Instead,
+ unions should be combined into a single simple type with the combined
+ representation type and values properties.
+
+ {% jira 2211 %}
+
+* The `dfdlx:inputTypeCalc` and `dfdlx:outputTypeCalc` properties and functions
+ have been removed. Instead, one should use `dfdlx:repType` with `dfdlx:repValues`
+ and `dfdlx:repValueRanges`.
+
+ {% jira 2211 %}
+
+* Resolving relative import/include `schemaLocation` paths absolutely is now
+ deprecated and will output a warning, and support may eventually be removed.
+ For example, a common import is:
+
+ ```xml
+ <import schemaLocation="org/apache/daffodil/xsd/DFDLGeneralFormat.dfdl.xsd" />
+ ```
+
+ Although this path is relative, previous versions of Daffodil allowed this to
+ be found on the classpath absolutely, as if it started with a slash. This
+ behavior is deprecated. If a `schemaLocation` is expected to be found on the
+ classpath and not relative to the importing file, then it should start with a
+ slash, for example:
+
+ ```xml
+ <import schemaLocation="/org/apache/daffodil/xsd/DFDLGeneralFormat.dfdl.xsd" />
+ ```
+
+ Daffodil still supports the old behavior and will look up relative
+ `schemaLocation` paths absolutely, but will output a schema definition warning.
+ Future versions of Daffodil may change this to an error.
+
+ {% jira 2828 %}
+
+* Support for importing `edu/illinois/ncsa/daffodil/xsd/built-in-formats.xsd`
+ has been removed. Schemas should instead import
+ `/org/apache/daffodil/xsd/DFDLGeneralFormat.dfdl.xsd` and change `dfdl:format`
+ to reference `GeneralFormat`
+
+ {% jira 2828 %}
+
+* `Assert.usage()` now throws a `UsageException` instead of an Abort on usage errors.
+ `Compiler.forLanguage()`, `DataProcessor.parse()`, `DataProcessor.unparse()` and
+ `ProcessorFactor.onPath()`, when `isError` is true, throws a `UsageError`, which
+ wraps an `IllegalStateException`, unlike before where it threw an Abort.
+
+ {% jira 2072 %}
