 * TrimListener now removes unicode whitespaces
 * deprecated getParent(), setParent() and hasParent() in FormBuilderInterface
 * FormInterface::add() now accepts a FormInterface instance OR a field's name, type and options

 * made the translation catalogue configurable via the "translation_domain" option

 * [BC BREAK] form and field names must start with a letter, digit or underscore
   and only contain letters, digits, underscores, hyphens and colons
 * [BC BREAK] changed default name of the prototype in the "collection" type
   from "$$name$$" to "\__name\__". No dollars are appended/prepended to custom

   ArrayChoiceList

   with EntityChoiceList, the latter is not required in the core anymore.

   * ArrayToBooleanChoicesTransformer to ChoicesToBooleanArrayTransformer
   * ScalarToBooleanChoicesTransformer to ChoiceToBooleanArrayTransformer
   * ArrayToChoicesTransformer to ChoicesToValuesTransformer
   * ScalarToChoiceTransformer to ChoiceToValueTransformer
