H Changelog (Non-Normative)

This section summarizes changes since the 12 November XForms 1.0 Candidate Recommendation.

• Final XML namespace.

• Separated references to XForms Basic.

• Minor editorial fixes throughout.

• Clarified and simplified initialization process, removing redundant events and describing handling of namespace nodes in instance data.

• Adjusted serialization options due to implementation feedback.

• Typo fix: Changed LocationPath to PathExpr.

• Clarified when value attribute on output is re-evaluated.

• Clarified when notification events are sent (and when they aren't sent), and sequencing across multiple events.

• Specified that group is affected by all model item properties.

• Clarified that the host language must provide overall navigation and direct access.

• Changed target of xforms-binding-exception to the offending element.

• Clarified that index() is not a fixed operation, and that when used in model binding expressions, manual rebuilds may be necessary.

• Removed model item properties minOccurs and maxOccurs, based on implementation feedback. Added informative text to describe how the equivalent functionality is available through the constraint model item property.

• Cleaned up the behavior of indexes after delete operations.

• Refined behavior of form controls that are not capable of rendering the value from the instance data: these must indicate the situation.

• Removed requirement to support ENTITY, ENTITIES, and NOTATION datatypes.
