Hey,
Did not really want to start he vote until we see if the RC is OK! Hard
for me to say if I want a release until I see user feedback on the RC.
Intend to start vote next week and it will of course be complete before
we release.
Cheers,
Gareth

Hi,
Release candidate 1 for the upcoming Xerces-C++ 2.8.0 release
is available for testing:
http://people.apache.org/builds/xerces/c/xerces-c-src_2_8_0_rc1.zip
http://people.apache.org/builds/xerces/c/xerces-c-src_2_8_0_rc1.tar.gz
SHA1 checksums for the files:
a168db771ae510ac511ac15d9c56e03522b9a23f xerces-c-src_2_8_0_rc1.zip
ac8cd373cd170caebb48de6870affcf72f7d12db xerces-c-src_2_8_0_rc1.tar.gz
I encourage everybody to download and test it with various platforms,
compilers, and applications. The cut-off day for reporting problems
is next Tuesday, August the 28th with the release planned for Friday,
August the 31th.
There needs to be a PMC vote for that. Care to start a voting thread with
[VOTE] in the subject line?
Besides a large number of bug fixes, this release has the following
new features, mainly in the build system:
* Support for 64 bit Windows builds.
* Project files for VC8.
* Optimized DOM parsing (25-30% improvement).
* Verbose make mode (make VERBOSE=1).
* Support for g++ on AIX and HP-UX.
* Support for static library building (runConfigure -s option).
Note that the documentation in this release candidate hasn't been
updated. The documentation changed will be completed before the
release.
Thanks,
Boris
