Aligns the module with stricter typing expectations. If you extend any validation constraints, you must add explicit return types and typed properties to remain compatible.
changes since alpha3，add more symfony constraints:
NotIdenticalTo

GreaterThanOrEqual

Timezone and Choice are available as constraint plugin, but not add field validaiton rule support.
1,Add constraint support for field validation rule.
It support 8 constraints provide by Drupal core:
CountConstraint
EmailConstraint,
IsNullConstraint
LengthConstraint
NotNullConstraint
RangeConstraint
RegexConstraint
UniqueFieldConstraint
2, Move original validation rule to field_validation_legacy module, the old rules works very well, you can still use them.
A lot changes since beta4:
1, Add more validation rules: URL, Specific values, Pattern, Match against a field, Equal values.
2,Add published only support for unique validation rule.
3, Date range fatal error #3327403

new Feature:
Support property validation.Such as title , ubercart SKU,list_price.
The first workable version for Drupal 8 leveraging Plugin system.
Only include two validators: Email, Regex.
Export/Import feature have been removed, we will add it in later version.
Setting error message using Field API does not work.
Form_set_error works.
Date validation module has been removed in this version.
The function of this module already include in date range2 validator.
Bug fixed since RC1:
Issue #[1663098] numeric validation
It seems that this 7.x-2.x is stable enough, and I decide to develop 8.x-1.x using Plugin system in Drupal core.
So we release the first stable version for 7.x-2.x.
changes since beta2:
fixed Issue #[1555870] typo error by hass
fixed Issue #[1576092] validate day is a monday
fixed issue #[1594754] machine name great than 32
It seems the code stable enough, and we will not add more validators to this module.
The first stable version of field validation 7.x-1.0 after 1 years later. Maybe this is the last stable version of 7.x-1.x.
We only fixed bugs for 7.x-1.x, no new features add.
Since RC1:
1, Issue 1516296, Export object include ruleid which is the primary key,
2,Coding standard following coder module.
3, using ctools export for multifields validator to get the other group rules.
The first work able verion which could be used on production site.
A lot new features added in this verion. Code has been rewrited.
Be carefull when you update from 7.x-1.0 to 2.x, the update path is a little difficult.
You need down load field_validation_deprecated module before you update from 1.x to 2.x
This is the first workable version.
Please do not use it in production site.
The biggest change is using Ctools , using Ctools.
Now validator is a Ctools plugin, it will be more easire for other developers define a ctools plugin of field validation validator.
1,Validator is a plugin which using Ctools
2,validation rule is exportable
3,support token in error message.
4,allow several setting elements for validator.
There are only a few bug fix and coding standard correct in beta6.
7.x-1.0-beta6 is a temp version, that is because I will add the feature of "exportable" and "cloneable", There will be a lot of code changes.
We build it base Ctools Export.
It is a big feature.The basic function already works correctly on my local machine.I will add the latest code to Dev version.
