Hi everyone, The Xerces-J team is pleased to announce that version 2.8.0 of Xerces-J is now available.
This release introduces several new validation related features and provides enhancements to the XML schema annotation support. All of the schema component interfaces in the XML Schema API now have a getAnnotations() method which returns a list of XSAnnotations. This includes annotations on particles and attribute uses which were previously "lost". In addition, in this release we implemented support for pretty-printing in the LSSerializer, repaired the warn-on-undeclared-elemdef feature which had been broken for several releases and fixed many other bugs. Specifically, the changes introduced in this release are: * Added a getAnnotations() method to each of the component interfaces in the XML Schema API (including XSParticle and XSAttributeUse) and implemented the support for the new methods. [Neil Delima] * Implemented a property for starting schema assessment from a specific type definition. [Peter McCracken] * Implemented features for disabling ID/IDREF, unparsed entity and identity constraint checking. [Peter McCracken] * Implemented a feature which instructs the schema validator to ignore xsi:type attributes until a global element declaration has been found. [Peter McCracken] * Modified the JAXP Validation API implementation so that it propagates features set on the SchemaFactory to the Schemas created from the factory and in turn ValidatorHandlers and Validators constructed from those Schema objects (as clarified by JAXP 1.4). [Peter McCracken] * Implemented the DOM Level 3 Load and Save format-pretty-print parameter. [Matěj Kraus] * Fixed the warn-on-undeclared-elemdef feature which had been broken for many releases. [Michael Glavassevich] * Implemented a feature which allows the parser to process DTDs containing large content models which under normal operation may cause a StackOverflowError to occur. [Michael Glavassevich] * Improved the performance and memory usage of XSAnnotation.writeAnnotation(). [Michael Glavassevich] * Implemented XML Schema erratum E2-66. [Sandy Gao] * Fixed bugs in the implementation of Document.normalizeDocument() which caused DTD validation to fail in numerous scenarios. [Michael Glavassevich] * Fixed a bug where schema validation performed in Document.normalizeDocument() was adding default attributes without setting their owner element or firing mutation events. [Michael Glavassevich] * Fixed a bug which caused the JAXP 1.2 method for schema validation to fail when the parser is reused. [Michael Glavassevich] * Fixed a bug which caused a ClassCastException to be thrown when adopting a node from a deferred DOM into a non-deferred DOM. [Michael Glavassevich] * Fixed the dtdjars build target which had been broken for several releases. [Michael Glavassevich] * Improved identity constraint error messages. [George Cristian Bina] * Fixed various bugs and made various improvements.
