Looking at the doc/html/index.html in the archive I assume this is the addition: "PLEASE NOTE: Xerces-C++ lacks maintainers and is in a largely legacy state. We do not recommend its adoption by new projects, and encourage those still using it to explore alternatives." If so, I would be against this wording. As I believe was clearly demonstrated by the discussion in this thread, there are no suitable alternatives for some functionality provided by Xerces-C++, specifically, mature, battle-tested XML Schema support. I would be Ok with the following statement of facts (rather than telling people what they should and should not do): "Please note that the Xerces-C++ project currently lacks active maintainers and therefore may not be able to promptly address bugs and security vulnerabilities." FWIW, we have a commercial product based on Xerces-C++ and if any of its users report bugs in Xerces-C++, we will work on fixing them. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: c-dev-unsubscr...@xerces.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: c-dev-h...@xerces.apache.org
