The following is a summary of the changes in version 1.6.1.

New Functionality and Improvements

  • Enabled support for repeating records based on occursCountKind=”expression”
  • Added uniqueName()/absoluteUniqueName() that include record number in element name
  • Enabled setting integer value in element with xs:hexBinary type
  • Improved serialization of large packets built from scratch
  • Reduce the dependency from 3rd party libraries

Bug Fixes 

  • Corrected the packet number passed to progress monitor
