EFX Toolkit 2.0.0-alpha.8 #1420

We have released version 2.0.0-alpha.8 of the EFX Toolkit for Java developers.

This release transpiles the selector, a construct newly added to both versions of the EFX language. A selector identifies the XML elements that a reference points to, rather than the values held in them: &{reference} in EFX-1, and &{reference} or WITH context SELECT reference in EFX-2. Its first use is the new privacy.undisclosedFieldSelector property, which names the elements a notice viewer must withhold from publication, and which appears in the fields.json of eForms SDK 1.16.0-beta.2 and 2.0.0-alpha.3.

The version number belongs to the 2.0.0 line, but this release matters to SDK 1 in the same way. Support for EFX-1 is production-level, and transpilation of EFX-1 to XPath and XSL is better here than in EFX Toolkit 1.3.0.

Several bugs are also fixed, none of them changing how rules or templates published in any SDK are interpreted. The release requires eForms Core Library 1.9.0.

Details in the release notes.
