Version 038-20201207 on 07/12/2020:


eSentool XSLT validation tool for the TED XML package 2020.

It is designed to run together with XSD versions: 
  old versions R2.0.9.S03 and R2.0.8.S04, and
  new versions R2.0.9.S04 and R2.0.8.S05.

The plan is to install this version on 15.12.2020 for the Qualification/Simulation uses, and to go live in production on 26.02.2021.


List of modifications:

1) Add a rule in the context of Brexit
   Notices from UK (Country code in section I.1, and in case of joint procurement: if ALL country codes are UK) are not accepted anymore
 except 
	if the Contracting Authority is an European institution/agency or international organisation(section I.4 in R2.0.9, section I.2 in R2.0.8)
	or if it is a CAN, Corrigendum or Modification notice having a previous publication on TED (section IV.2.1 in R2.0.9, section IV.3.2 in R2.0.8) 
		with CAN = {F03,F06,F13,F15,F18,F21-CAN,F22-CAN,F23-CAN,F25}, Corrigendum = F14, Modification notice = F20.
	or if the notice is related to a procurement financed by European Union funds (section II.2.13 in R2.0.9, section VI in R2.0.8)
	Note: any Move form (T01, T02) from UK are rejected.
   This rule will be applied as an alert with severity "Warning" until 29.12 and with severity "Error" (meaning rejection of the notice) after 29.12.2020.

2) Add a date trigger on the alert about the phasing out of the versions R2.0.8.S04 and R2.0.9.S03.
   This rule to alert on the need to XSD/Nuts migration will be active with severity "Warning" starting from 26.02.2021
