David,

+1 from me.  (Xerces 2.4 build would be a very good thing.)

I can do Net/FreeBSD testing of release archives if that's of use?

Cheers,
        Berin

Hi folks,

It's time to start thinking about doing a Xalan-C release
that is compatible with the latest Xerces-C 2.4 release.

Since Xalan-C 1.6 we've:
  - almost completed the message localization feature (a few more tweaks
    are necessary -- the patches are waiting to be committed)
  - enhanced the Unix build/package/install process
  - added some more EXSLT functions,
  - updated the source to build with Xerces-C 2.4, and
  - fixed various reported bugs.

We have a bit more work to do before we're ready to go.  Recently
we've had the help of Dmitry Hayes, Matthew Hoyt, June Ng and
Soheila Bashardoust-Tajali, and we're counting on their continued
support.

There are a few bugs we still need to have a look at [Dmitry/Matt].
We also need to update the documentation [June], build the
distributions and complete the testing [June/Soheila].

So, how about we target to code freeze on January 6, 2004 and release
Xalan-C 1.7 on January 9, 2004?  Does this sound reasonable to all the
committers?

If anyone else would like to volunteer their services, please let us
know.  We need someone to try a MacOS build with the latest code in
cvs and flush out any build/runtime problems as we don't have an
environment ourselves to do this work.

Thanks!

Dave
