This is useful for validating "Terms of Service" acceptance. * New Validator: `Alpha` - Only allows alphabetic characters * New Validator: `RequiredUnless` with validation data as a struct literal `{ anotherField:value, ... }` - The field under validation must be present and not empty unless the `anotherfield` field is equal to the passed `value`. * New Validator: `RequiredIf` with validation data as a struct literal `{ anotherField:value, ... }` - The field under validation must be present and not empty if the `anotherfield` field is equal to the passed `value`. * Accelerated validation by removing type checks. ACF chokes on interface checks ## Improvements * Consistency on all validators to ignore null or empty values except the `Required` validator * Formatting consistencies * Improve error messages to describe better validation * Get away from `evaluate()` instead use `invoke()` ## Compat & Bugs * `Bugs` : Fixed lots of wrong type exceptions * `Compat` : Remove ACF11 support --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://coldbox-validation.ortusbooks.com/v3.x-1/intro/release-history/whats-new-with-2.0.0.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
