1.3.0-RC2

This release candidate has exact same functionality as 1.3.0-RC1-1 and also has a bugfix where the GUI was not showing details of failures caused by schema validation directives such as @totalColumns

CSV Validator 1.2-RC3

TODO

CSV Validator 1.1.5

This release incorporates the performance and memory usage improvements contributed by @JessFlan in PR #135.

The 1.1 release integrated the new features of CSV Schema Language 1.1, along with some UI improvements such as showing the actual number of lines of a CSV file that have been validated (also available as a command line option).

The Schema Language Specification includes a what's new section for a quick intro to the new features.

For convenience we provide downloads of the CSV Validator UI application and the CSV Validator Command Line application. See the installation and usage instructions for further information.

As of release 1.1, the Java 6 JVM is no longer supported.

The Maven artifacts can be found here.

CSV Validator 1.2-RC2

The 1.2 release will include new features in the draft CSV Schema Language 1.2, so far this is limited to the URL Decode Expression, though there are some other suggested additions (see the 1.2 milestone in the csv-schema repo) that are not yet in the draft.

This release candidate also includes performance and memory usage improvements from #135 by @JessFlan.

It is otherwise identical to the 1.1 branch.

The maven artifacts are available here (the main executables are attached below for convenience)

CSV Validator 1.2-RC1

The 1.2 release will include new features in the draft CSV Schema Language 1.2, so far this is limited to the URL Decode Expression, though there are some other suggested additions (see the Issues tab of the csv-schema repository) that are not yet in the draft.

This release candidate should be robust as it stands, it is named as a release candidate only because CSV Schema Language 1.2 is not yet finalised.

The Maven artifacts can be found here.

CSV Validator 1.1.4

Another bug with the notEmpty rule fix and another minor bug fix.

The 1.1 release integrated the new features of CSV Schema Language 1.1, along with some UI improvements such as showing the actual number of lines of a CSV file that have been validated (also available as a command line option).

The Schema Language Specification includes a what's new section for a quick intro to the new features.
