Hi all, The Xerces-J team is very happy to announce that version 2.4.0 of Xerces-J is now available. Although in the last release the Xerces Native Interface (XNI) core was declared to be gold, this release includes two minor modifications to the XMLResourceIdentifier and XMLLocator interfaces.
This release also brings Xerces-J into compliance with the most recent work of the W3C DOM working group on DOM level 3 Core and Load/Save, and includes more XML Schema errata fixes. The XML 1.1 Candidate Recommendation is now supported by default (the option for verifying that documents are normalized has not been yet implemented). Specifically, the significant changes introduced in this release are: - Modified XNI XMLResourceIdentifier to include set/getNamespace. Added getEncoding method to the XNI XMLLocator interface. [Sandy Gao, Neil Graham] - Fixed scanner implementation to be able to handle large CDATA sections without buffering. [Andy Clark] - Made internal class loading strategy a bit more friendly in environments which need to provide classloaders to do things like manage multiple versions of Xerces. [Igor Malinin, Neil Graham] - Improved robustness of build shell script under the Cygwin environment. [J. Pietschmann, Neil Graham] - Fixed null pointer exception in DTDConfiguration caused when no DTD handlers are registered. [Andy Clark] - Fixed various bug related to <redefine> in XML Schema traversal. [Khaled Noaman, Sandy Gao] - Fixed various bug related to the pattern facet (regular expression) in XML Schema. [Khaled Noaman, Sandy Gao] - Implemented the latest DOM Level 3 Core and Load and Save drafts. [Elena Litani] - Improved performance of XML11Configuration and made it the default configuration. [Elena Litani] - Added support for ordering disconnected nodes (DOM Level 3 compareDocumentPosition) [Lisa Martin] - In anticipation of the DOM Level 3 Events specification, fix Xerces Events implementation to call event listeners in the order in which they were registered [Arnaud Le Hors] - Implemented XML Schema errata as they were published. [Sandy Gao] - Fixed a bug related the external-schemaLocation property. [Sandy Gao] - General bug fixes.
