+
+#### Deprecation/Compatibility
+
+* The `GeneralFormatPortable` define format has been removed. Instead,
+ portable schemas should import a new portable file and reference the
+ `GeneralFormat` format. For example, a schema that previously looked
+ like this:
+
+ ```xml
+ <xs:include schemaLocation="org/apache/daffodil/xsd/DFDLGeneralFormat.dfdl.xsd" />
+
+ <dfdl:format ref="GeneralFormatPortable" ... />
+ ```
+
+ Should now look like this:
+
+ ```xml
+ <xs:include schemaLocation="org/apache/daffodil/xsd/DFDLGeneralFormatPortable.dfdl.xsd" />
+
+ <dfdl:format ref="GeneralFormat" ... />
+ ```
+
+ {% jira 2820 %}
+
+* The property `textStandardZeroRep` used to be defined to be "0" which
+ is a mistake. However, existing schemas may be depending on this, or
+ they may not be depending on this, but simply have tests which have expected
+ data output containing the value 0.0 with "0" as the text representation.
+ With this change to dfdl:textStandardZeroRep="" those tests may be broken.
+
+ {% jira 2147 %}
+
+* Previous Daffodil releases let schemas define every type's length
+ using "bits" as the length unit even though the specification allows
+ bit length units only for a specific set of types' binary
+ representations and does not allow bit length units for any other
+ type's binary representation or any type's text representation. A
+ deprecation warning is now issued when bit length units are
+ incorrectly used.
+
+ {% jira 1172 %}
+
+* Daffodil now uses SLF4J for logging instead of log4j. API users may need
+ to add a new dependency to specify which logging backend to use, for
+ example slf4j-log4j for the previous behavior. If no backend is found, a
+ warning will be output to stderr and log messages will be dropped.
+
+ DFDL schema projects that previously added log4j-core (or another log4j
+ implementation) as a dependency to avoid warnings no longer need that
+ dependency--a custom Daffodil specific logger is now used for TDML tests
+ and is automatically pulled in as dependency.
+
+ {% jira 2787 %}
+
+* The default and maximum value of the maxHexBinaryLengthInBytes tunable,
+ and thus the maximum length of xs:hexBinary elements, is reduced in half
+ from 2147483647 to 1073741823 bytes. Schemas requiring larger values
+ should switch to the Binary Large Object extension or convert the single
+ large hexBinary element to an array of multiple smaller hexBinary
+ elements.
+
+ {% jira 2782 %}
+
+* Daffodil now ensures that binary specified lengths are not larger than the
+ max length of the associated type. For example, xs:int cannot be used if
+ field length is larger than 32 bits. Instead, an xs:long or larger type
+ should be used.
+
+ {% jira 1704 %}
+
+* Some package names were modified to support OSGI. Classes in
+ daffodil-tdml-processor, daffodil-japi, and daffodil-sapi jars were
+ unchanged, so those using these APIs should not need changes. However,
+ classes in other packages may need to adjust imports.
+
+ {% jira 2683 %}
+
+* The behavior of textNumberCheckPolicy="strict" was changed so that the
+ pattern is used to determine if a decimal point must exist or not. For
+ example, if text numbers are integers without a decimal, the pattern should
+ not contain a decimal. Schema should be modified to either use a lax policy
+ or use a pattern that correctly matches their data.
+
+ {% jira 2158 %}
