I don't know if and when there will be a xalan release. Just to correct what 
you said about OpenJDK - it does not use xalan - it has its own code that was 
copied from xalan many years ago and is now maintained independently. xmlsec 
has an optional dependency on xalan and most features of xmlsec work without 
using xalan. This is described at 
https://santuario.apache.org/java150releasenotes.html
