-# eForms Core Library 1.4.0 Release Notes
+# eForms Core Library 1.5.0 Release Notes
 
 The eForms Core Library is a collection of utilities that are used by our sample applications as well as the EFX Toolkit for Java Developers.
 
 ## In this release
 
-This release adds the option to indicate a qualifier for SDK components. If there are 2 or more classes that have an @SdkComponent annotation with the same version and component type, this allows you to differentiate them and load the component with the matching qualifier.
+This release fixes an issue in the XPathProcessor that could cause a redundant predicate production when contextualising XPaths with multiple predicates.
 
-The versions of various dependencies was updated: ANTLR 4.13.1, JAXB 4.0.4, logback 1.5.3, ph-genericode 7.1.1.
+The versions of various dependencies was updated: Apache Commons IO 2.19.0, Apache Commons Lang 3.18.0, Jackson 2.18.3, logback 1.5.18.
