We are pleased to announce the first release candidate
of Daffodil 2.0.0!

Notable changes since Daffodil 1.1.0 include unparse achieving full

feature parity with parse, support for additional unparse only

properties such as outputValueCalc, fillByte,

truncateSpecifiedLengthString, etc., numerous bug fixes in parse, and

improved parse performance.

The release candidate has been tagged as 2.0.0-rc1 in the git repo:

https://opensource.ncsa.illinois.edu/bitbucket/projects/DFDL/repos/daffodil/browse

The release is also available for downloaded from the Daffodil Artifacts

page:

https://opensource.ncsa.illinois.edu/projects/artifacts.php?key=DFDL&version=2.0.0-rc1

Daffodil will now enter the test phase, which we expect to last

approximately 3 weeks, followed by the official release of Daffodil 2.0.0.

Please give the release candidate a test and let us know if you find any

issues. To report bugs or ask any questions, the development team is
