There have been a number of bugs fixed since 1.3, but there were several ugly regressions, although they were edge-cases. The latest CVS is also a bit rocky, as I've added C++ namespace support to keep up with the support added to the parser. Hopefully, in a few weeks, that will settle down. I'll be doing an interim build of the latest CVS within the week, so you could take a look at that once it's ready.

I guess I can query bugzilla to see which bugs have been fixed since Xalan 1.4, but anything major enough that you think we should look at or is it still ok to assume that Xalan 1.4 is of good quality (at least as good as 1.3) ?

It would be better to sort out the problems you're having moving to Xalan 1.4. There were some bugs that have been fixed since then, so you might want to try the latest CVS code.

We are currently using Xalan1.3 without ICU. We need to integrate ICU (for NLS support) and we decided to upgrade at the same time to Xalan 1.4. It seems that this move is not as seamless as one could hope :-) Some of our problems are coming from some behavior differences between Xalan 1.3 and 1.4 (I am sending a separate email on that one), and some others may be from ICU (not sure yet). Since we are under some time pressure, we were considering moving to ICU without upgrading Xalan yet (stay with Xalan 1.3 but add ICU). Any ideas if it is a good move or not? Thomas
