+
+This release focused on bugs fixed and performance improvements. A number of
+changes resulted in deprecation or backwards incompatible changes. See
+[Deprecation/Compatibility](#deprecationcompatibility) section for more
+details.
+
+This release requires Java 17 or newer, and Scala 3.3.x. It was tested with
+Java 17, 21, and 25, and Scala 3.3.7. We recommend Java 25 for the best
+performance.
+
+# New Features
+
+Of note is the addition of a new `infosetWalkerMode` property that can be used
+provide performance improvements in some schemas that aren't very large. Note
+that in cases of large infosets or if memory is a concern, the default
+`infosetWalkerMode` of "streaming" should be used.
+
+* {% jira 182 %} - option for having xsi:type added to infoset
+* {% jira 3070 %} - Investigate non-streaming InfosetWalker
+* {% jira 3082 %} - Make GZIP layer compression level configurable
+
+# Miscellaneous Bugs/Improvements
+
+* {% jira 1598 %} - Unparser: For strings that truncate, the dfdl:valueLength
function cannot suspend
+* {% jira 3068 %} - SonarCloud Scan Unable to import Scoverage report files
+* {% jira 3072 %} - Float/double -0.0 leads to incorrect validation errors
with daffodil validation
+* {% jira 3073 %} - Use of varargs in serialized classes can lead to reload
incompatibilities
+* {% jira 3074 %} - stringAsXML always creates empty elements
+* {% jira 3075 %} - FuzzData in core catching the wrong Exception
+* {% jira 3077 %} - XMLUtils comparison relies on specific ICU versions
+* {% jira 3078 %} - TDML Runner XML differences output twice
+* {% jira 3079 %} - Saving schema leads to "Invariant broken. No value for
delay. Containing object not initialized?"
+* {% jira 3081 %} - Configure codecov to not fail on master branch merges
+* {% jira 3083 %} - Update deprecated URL constructor in XercesValidator
+* {% jira 3086 %} - Remove Fractional Microseconds support from TDML Runner
+* {% jira 2909 %} - stringAsXML: TDML XML Comparison fails on mixed content
XML or other non-DFDL-conforming XML
+* {% jira 3027 %} - Compare Daffodil Performance on Java 17 and 25
+* {% jira 3071 %} - Remove retrievedManaged/useCoursier Settings
+* {% jira 3089 %} - Set default `infosetWalkerMode` to "streaming"
+
+
+# Deprecation/Compatibility
+
+* {% jira 2909 %} - stringAsXML: TDML XML Comparison fails on mixed content
XML or other non-DFDL-conforming XML
+
+ Previous versions of Daffodil used the ScalaXMLInfosetInputter/Outputter as
the
+ default inputter/outputter for TDML Runner, this version changed it to
XMLTextInfosetInputter/Outputter
+ since it supports the stringsAsXml feature. Note that for this
implementation, we check the
+ actual infoset for the presence of XMLTextInfoset.stringAsXML(currently
stringAsXML)
+ and don't normalize CRLF to LF for that element
+
+* {% jira 182 %} - option for having xsi:type added to infoset
+
+ Previous versions of Daffodil could sometimes use scientific notation
+ when outputting elements with an xs:decimal type, which XSD does not
+ allow. Daffodil now always outputs xs:deicmal types using standard
+ decimal notation without any exponent part.

+# New Features
+
+* Add schema-flattening functionality to allow non-Daffodil programs such as
XML Validators
+ to resolve schemaLocations easily.
+* Add `-parameter` to javacoptions to preserve the Java parameter name in the
+ generated bytecode for reflection.
