Hi everyone,

I've prepared artifacts for the release of Apache XmlBeans 5.1.0 (RC1).
One thing to watch out for is in the src artifacts now should be built with 
gradle - instead of ant.

The most notable changes in this release are:

* create temp files using java.nio.files.Files
* Line breaks in base64binary caused a validation error
* Improve support for using XMLBeans on Android by not relying on the 
namespace-prefixes feature on the XML SAX parser
* Use generics in Collections
* GDate can return diferent values on different current timezones
* Migrate ant build to gradle
* change version code so that the value is automatically generated
* Make XmlCursor AutoCloseable
* Fix some problems with XMLBeans Extension Interfaces Feature
* Inner Class Handler was not supported
* When specifying user types in an xsdconfig, types that are not being compiled 
could not be referenced properly
* Upgrade dependencies (javaparser 3.24.2, Saxon-HE 11.3, log4j-api 2.17.2)

A full list of changes is available in the change log:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/XMLBEANS/versions/12350699

The artifacts are at:
https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/poi/xmlbeans/dev/


You can use this maven URL for your mvn/gradle builds:
https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/staging

I haven't updated the "provided" dependencies as those have to be
activated anyway explicitly.

Please vote to release the artifacts.
The vote keeps open until 2022-06-09 23:00 UTC.
Planned release announcement date is Friday, 2022-06-10.


Here is my +1
