1.9.0 2025xxxx
BF: Composite: Validation corrections and optimization
    - Omission of the reportValidity method call. More annoying than helpful due
      to the loss of focus (standard browser behavior).
BF: DataSource: Correction for the use of locator/path with (sub)directories
BF: DataSource: Correction of the method fetch when using the cache
BF: Extensions: Correction of window.location.contextPath
    The context path does not end with a slash and can be empty if the
    application is located directly under the main domain of the server.
BF: Routing: Correction / workaround if the hashchange event is missing
    Correction for browsers that do not trigger a hashchange event when the
    route is changed from / to /#.
CR: Markup: iterate also supports numbers
    Positive numbers cause a list of values from 0 to (number -1), negative
    values cause a descending list of values from (number +1) to 0.
CR: DataSource: Optimization and extension
    - Added support for fully qualified locator/path
      For access to sources outside the data directory.
    - Switch to stricter URL
      Only one and two slashes are accepted between protocol and path.
    - Added XPath support for locators
CR: Markup: import / output optimization and extension for DateSource
    - new syntax for DataSource locator and transformation
      use: xml://example.xml + xslt://example-template.xslt
    - new syntax for DataSource locator with XPath
      use: xml://example.xml?<xpath>
CR: Message: Optimization and extension
    - Renamed method customize to populate
      The name customize was not concise and is needed in a new context.

BF: Review: Corrections and optimization
BF: Test: Correction for the output of messages with timestamp
BF: Test: Correction of Assert.assertSame(), incorrect implementation
BF: Composite: Correction of partial rendering of iterate
CR: Composite: Validation corrections and optimization
    - Validation works strictly by default
      The validation must explicitly return true so that the input data from the
      HTML elements is synchronized to the models. The behavior can be
      deactivated with the declaration: validate="optional", which was the
      previous default behavior. In the markup, the attribute strict is
      therefore omitted.
    - Validation message is shown by default as native browser tooltip
      In the markup, the attribute notification is therefore omitted.
    - Validation message added redirection to an attribute
      If a message begin with @<attribute>:, which includes the return values of
      express, these are redirected to the attribute declared in this way.
CR: Composite: Added Composite.lookup(selector)
    Determines the corresponding meta-object for the passed selector.
CR: Composite: Conversion from acceptors to interceptors
CR: Composite: Conversion to a separate scope page for expression variables
    Variables are set by expressions, which includes the variables from the
    attribute iterate, now use their own scope page and are no longer global.
CR: Extension: Review, corrections and optimization
    - Renamed window.location.pathcontext in window.location.contextPath
CR: Release: Review, corrections and optimization
    - Added eslint for ES6 check
    - Omission of the micro version without routing
      This unnecessarily inflated the number of release (channels).
    - Reworked file structure:
      - aspect-js.js
        Deployment version, ES6 optimized, minimized and without testing API
      - aspect-js-debug.js
        Debugging version, ES6 optimized, minimized and without testing API
      - aspect-js-debug-max.js
        Debugging version, ES6 optimized and without testing API
      - aspect-js-debug-testing.js
        Debugging version, ES6 optimized, minimized and with testing API
      - aspect-js-debug-testing-max.js
        Debugging version, ES6 optimized and with testing API
      - aspect-js-max.js
        Deployment version, ES6 optimized and without testing API
      - aspect-js-source.js
        Source version without testing API
      - aspect-js-source-testing.js
        Source version with testing API
      - aspect-js-testing.js
        Testing version, ES6 optimized, minimized and with testing API
      - aspect-js-testing-max.js
        Testing version, ES6 optimized and with testing API
CR: Review: Corrections and optimization
    - Compatibility with "use strict"
    - Compatibility with ES6
CR: SiteMap: Review, refactoring, corrections and optimization
    - Renaming to routing
    - Change to activation of routing to the attribute boolean route in the body
      tag; values are not supported
    - Omission of predefined paths like SiteMap.customize(...), replaced by
      dynamic paths based on the nested composites
    - Omission of functional paths, the existing acceptors is the better way
    - Omission of variable path, becomes obsolete with the new dynamic routing
    - Optimization of the path for routing
    - Conversion from acceptors to interceptors
CR: Test: Change the start to ant -f development/build.xml run

1.7.0 20241228
BF: Composite: Correction from mounting (dock/undock) composites with namespace
BF: Composite: Correction when inserting markup into composites
    If the markup for a composite was removed from the DOM,
    content was not inserted when the composite was reinserted into the DOM.
BF: Composite: Correction when loading CSS modules
    If a module is first requested programmatically by name, the CSS was not

    Errors are returned as error objects instead of text.
CR: Expression: Extension of the element expression by //...// for embedding logic
    e.g. {{#[element://index+1//]}} when index is a variable
CR: Expression: Optimization when interpreting in combination with text
    e.g. <input id="file_{{index +1}}"/> previously brackets had to be used
CR: Messages: Change in case of multiple keys, the first one wins
    Overwriting messages at runtime is generally not possible.
CR: Messages: Added locales/messages for modules
    Locales/messages are loaded with the module from the module directory.
    Modules can extend messages but not change/overwrite them. Locales/messages
    for modules are used as global locales/messages, no difference in use.
CR: Test: Update web server to version 5.7.1

1.6.1 20230410

    - omission of the HEAD request
    Minimizes HTTP requests in the background and when loading the page.
CR: Composite: Extension of the element ID with a unique identifier
    format: name:qualifier...#identifier@namespace...:model
    The unique identifier is for the view and business logic, but has no effect on composite.
CR: Composite: Added @-attributes as attribute templates for elements
    Creates corresponding attributes, which is convenient if they use expressions as value.
CR: Composite: Changing the behavior of the validation
    Synchronization and function execution are no longer blocked by violations.
    For the previous strict behavior, the attributes validate and strict must be combined.
CR: Scripting: Outsourcing and isolating the execution of Composite JavaScript
CR: Scripting: Optimization macros for Composite JavaScript
    - can now be used anywhere in the code, also in combination with conditions
    - can now also be separated from the next command with a semicolon

    Makes local variables and constants from modules usable in the global namespace.
CR: Scripting: Added macro #use for Composite JavaScript
    Creates namespaces if they do not already exist.

    ELEMENT_ID characters : and @ can only be used correctly
    COMPOSITE_ID / ELEMENT_ID character - is omitted, analogous to the syntax for CSS and variables in JavaScript
    CUSTOMIZE_SCOPE must start with _ a-z A-Z according to the W3C standard
CR: Composite: Extension of the element id for an optional reference
    The reference to a module in the namespace is added at the end of the ID syntax,
    after qualifiers and separated by the @ character:
          e.g. buttonSend:...@Imprint:Contact
    As with qualifiers, the : character can be used to separate object levels.
CR: Composite Events: Extended of EVENT_RENDER_NEXT for generated text nodes
    If text nodes contain expressions, they are split and reassembled from a
    sequence of new static and dynamic text nodes. EVENT_RENDER_NEXT now also
