Hi all, It's been some time since our last release (XMLBeans 2.2.0) and I am thinking maybe it's time to consider having another. In particular, the Saxon support, as we know, was shaky in 2.2.0 and we have improved significantly since then, but those improvements are only available to those who take the time to build from SVN...
There are a number of other changes and bugfixes, I have updated the CHANGES.txt file with the complete list and attached it for your convenience. What do people think?
