## Fixed

* XML schema: add type for `ComponentData` sub-elements ([#600] via
[#601])
* JSON schema: added the correct `deprecated` mark for already
deprecated structures (via [a973a6b])

## Deprecated

* Deprecated various fields and structures related to _cryptographic
transparency_ - _CBOM_ . (via [#657])
Use the newly added structures and fields for detailing the information
instead.

## Changed

* Extended the scope of _formulations_. (via [#647])
From now on, _formulations_ may be used to describe how any referencable
object within the BOM came together, including components, services,
metadata, declarations, or the BOM itself.
  Before, it was restricted to components and services.

## Added

* Support for _external components_ with _version-ranges_ ([#321] via
[#586])
* Support for _multiple_ SPDX License Expressions alongside with other
licenses ([#454] via [#582])
* Support for _Streebog hashing algorithm_ ([#485] via [#525])
* Support for license expression _details and properties_ ([#549],
[#554] via [#599])
* Support for expressing BOM distribution constraints with the _Traffic
Light Protocol_ (TLP) in metadata ([#595] via [#604], [#653])
* Support for representing _patent information_ ([#596] via [#597])
* Support for _properties_ on external-references ([#608] via [#610])
* Support for _citations_ ([#630] via [#629])
* Support for detailing _cryptographic transparency_ information -
_CBOM_ ([#569] via [#657])

## Documentation

* Elaborated component classification "platform", explicitly expressed
that it includes just-in-time compilers and interpreters ([#233] via
[#647])
* Removed the term "optional" from the schema where the definition was
already unambiguous ([#616], [#649] via [#680])

## Test data

* Add test data for CycloneDX 1.7 implementations in XML, JSON, Protobuf
