 * more tests for value access
 * added compatibility test `~` in addition to strict comparison with `=`
 * validator shortcut changed from `=` to `!`
+* check for absent features/misc-keys
 
 ## Version 2.18.0
 * extension to mass-edit/complex search&replace: possibility to search heads/childs etc with same Feature value or same UPOS etc

 `EUD` cannot deal (yet) with empty word ids (`n.m`)

 In addition to key keys listed above, four functions are available to take the context of the token into account:
 * `child()` child of current token
 * `head()` head of current token
