## 14.0.0
### Changed
- [GH-28]: simplified the PolicyProvider model, i.e. changed the following:
-**PDP configuration format** (XML Schema 'pdp.xsd') v7.0.0 (more info in [migration guide](MIGRATION.md) )
- Replaced 'refPolicyProvider' and 'rootPolicyProvider' XML elements with 'policyProvider' and 'rootPolicyRef'.
- StaticRootPolicyProvider and StaticRefPolicyProvider XML types replaced by one StaticPolicyProvider type.
-**PolicyProvider extension API** (interfaces):
- Upgraded core-pdp-api dependency version: 16.0.0 (more info in [core-pdp-api's changelog](https://github.com/authzforce/core-pdp-api/blob/develop/CHANGELOG.md#1600) ):
- Replaced CloseableRefPolicyProvider and BaseStaticRefPolicyProvider classes with CloseablePolicyProvider and BaseStaticPolicyProvider
- pdp-testutils module's dependency 'jackson-databind' upgraded to v2.9.10 (CVE fix)
### Fixed
- CVE-2019-14439
### Added
- Support for **Multiple Decision Profile when used with XACML/JSON Profile** (JSON input)
## 13.3.1
### Fixed
- CVE affecting Spring v4.3.18: upgraded dependencies to depend on

- Make sure all your custom PolicyProviders implement the new PolicyProvider interfaces, i.e. BaseStaticPolicyProvider or, as fallback option, CloseableStaticPolicyProvider
- Modify the PDP configuration (XML):
- Merge 'rootPolicyProvider' and 'refPolicyprovider' into one 'policyProvider' using the new 'StaticPolicyProvider' type if you were using 'StaticRefPolicyprovider' or 'StaticRootPolicyProvider', else your new custom PolicyProvider types if you were using custom ones.
- Add 'rootPolicyRef' element with policyId of the root policy.

* Optional **strict multivalued attribute parsing**: if enabled, multivalued attributes must be formed by grouping all `AttributeValue` elements in the same Attribute element (instead of duplicate Attribute elements); this does not fully comply with [XACML 3.0 Core specification of Multivalued attributes (§7.3.3)](http://docs.oasis-open.org/xacml/3.0/xacml-3.0-core-spec-os-en.html#_Toc325047176), but it usually performs better than the default mode since it simplifies the parsing of attribute values in the request.
* Optional **strict attribute Issuer matching**: if enabled, `AttributeDesignators` without Issuer only match request Attributes without Issuer (and same AttributeId, Category...); this option is not fully compliant with XACML 3.0, §5.29, in the case that the Issuer is indeed not present on a AttributeDesignator; but it is the recommended option when all AttributeDesignators have an Issuer (the XACML 3.0 specification (5.29) says: *If the Issuer is not present in the attribute designator, then the matching of the attribute to the named attribute SHALL be governed by AttributeId and DataType attributes alone.*);
* Extensibility points:
***Attribute Datatypes**: you may extend the PDP engine with custom XACML attribute datatypes;
***Functions**: you may extend the PDP engine with custom XACML functions;
***Combining Algorithms**: you may extend the PDP engine with custom XACML policy/rule combining algorithms;
***Attribute Providers a.k.a. PIPs** (Policy Information Points): you may plug custom attribute providers into the PDP engine to allow it to retrieve attributes from other attribute sources (e.g. remote service) than the input XACML Request during evaluation;
***Request Preprocessor**: you may customize the processing of XACML Requests before evaluation by the PDP core engine, e.g. used for supporting new XACML Request formats, and/or implementing [XACML v3.0 Multiple Decision Profile Version 1.0 - Repeated attribute categories](http://docs.oasis-open.org/xacml/3.0/multiple/v1.0/cs02/xacml-3.0-multiple-v1.0-cs02.html#_Toc388943334);
***Result Postprocessor**: you may customize the processing of XACML Results after evaluation by the PDP engine, e.g. used for supporting new XACML Response formats, and/or implementing [XACML v3.0 Multiple Decision Profile Version 1.0 - Requests for a combined decision](http://docs.oasis-open.org/xacml/3.0/xacml-3.0-multiple-v1-spec-cd-03-en.html#_Toc260837890);

***Root Policy Provider**: you may plug custom policy providers into the PDP engine to allow it to retrieve the root policy from specific sources (e.g. remote service);
***Policy-by-reference Provider**: you may plug custom policy providers into the PDP engine to allow it to resolve `PolicyIdReference` or `PolicySetIdReference`;
***[Policy-by-reference Provider](https://github.com/authzforce/core/wiki/Policy-Providers)**: you may plug custom policy providers into the PDP engine to allow it to resolve `PolicyIdReference` or `PolicySetIdReference`;
***Decision Cache**: you may extend the PDP engine with a custom XACML decision cache, allowing the PDP to skip evaluation and retrieve XACML decisions from cache for recurring XACML Requests;
