Release v1.1.3

[1.1.3] - 2026-09-03

Added

• An authoritativeDefinitions link can reference a file next to the contract, either a property in another contract (url: business.odcs.yaml#schema/orders/properties/order_id) or a file that is the definition itself (url: definitions/order_id.odcs.yaml), resolved relative to the referencing contract (#1453)
• datacontract breaking command and POST /breaking endpoint for breaking change detection (#1016 @pierre-monnet)
• DATACONTRACT_KAFKA_GROUP_PREFIX environment variable to customise the consumer group ID prefix used during Kafka testing (#1553 @philipp-lutz)
• datacontract test checks the ODCS array options minItems, maxItems and uniqueItems (#1514 @OGsiji)
• datacontract export odcs defaults status to draft when the source DCS contract has no info.status (#1542 @michal-swiatowy)
• datacontract export great-expectations covers the logicalTypeOptions constraints, attaches contract metadata to every expectation, checks the column set instead of the column order and takes a --suite-name (#1544 @julienguilhempartner-spec)
• datacontract test --dry-run reports the checks a run would execute without connecting to the server or reading any data (#1510 @OGsiji)

Fixed

• datacontract export jsonschema, datacontract export avro and datacontract test on local files use a property's physicalName as the field name when set, instead of the logical name (#1494 @philipp-lutz)
• datacontract import sql takes the server's database and schema from a qualified CREATE TABLE, instead of always writing placeholders (#651 @ReguiguiMohamed)
• datacontract import sql no longer fails on a DDL file that contains CREATE SCHEMA (#1529 @ReguiguiMohamed)
• datacontract test sums every component of an ISO 8601 retention period, instead of reading only the first one (#1538)
• datacontract test reports each freshness and retention check result on its own check, instead of writing every result to the first one (#1515 @erikgrip2)
• datacontract test --publish with an empty value runs without publishing, instead of failing (#1491)

Changed

• The open-data-contract-standard dependency is pinned to 3.1.x; ODCS v3.2.0 support will come with a dedicated release
