Quarterly report from Apache Xalan to the ASF board - Brian Minchau Apache Xalan PMC Chairperson
========================================================== Xalan-C ======= XML 1.1 support has been implemented by Xalan-C. Redesign of XML serialization both for code simplification and for performance is underway. Support has been added for: - Linux/XLC compiler - gcc 3.4 Although this work is available in the latest development version in CVS, it is awaiting the next Xalan-C release. Xalan-J ======= A monthly tele-conference (first Tuesday of each month) has been started and has had a number of sessions. It is open to all active Xalan-J committers to discuss JIRA issues, and find volunteers to fix bugs. The JIRA issue database has been kept up to date with the group's decisions. A new Xalan-J 2.7 release, with a tentative release date in mid July 2005 was approved by the Xalan PMC. Due to the JAXP 1.3 donation from Sun, and because Xerces is heading towards a 2.7 release that includes support for JAXP 1.3, the Xalan PMC voted to have a new release a few weeks after Xerces tentative release date. This gives Xalan-J time to make any adjustments to changes in Xerces. The future Xalan-J 2.7 release will contain support for: - JAXP 1.3 - XML 1.1 (already committed to the development code base) Morris Kwan, a Xalan-J committer, has volunteered to do the bulk of the work needed for Xalan-J to support JAXP 1.3 (thanks Morris!). --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
