Hello everybody!
Although the development of the features for Xalan_C 1.9 took a little bit more than we expected , we are pretty done and ready to go with the release.
All the commiters have voted and the release had been approved.
The CVS codebase is frozen and we wouldn't add any new features .
The processor right now is in the last phase of testing - performance testing .
If we don't see any urgent issues , we are planning to release the Xalan-C 1.9 before the Christmas holidays.
Thanks and have happy holidays.
Team of Xalan-C committers

Hi all!
Since the last release we have developed two significant enhancements for Xalan-C and we are thinking about releasing the new version .
The new , Xalan-C 1.9 release will include :
- Plagguble memory management : Xalan-C will be more stable in managing of the memory allocations and the user will be guarded against potential memory leaks
- Iterative processing : Xalan-C will be more stable in processing very big/deep XML files and stylesheets
- Xalan-C can be tested on the Unix platforms with "Conf"
- Compatibility with Xerces-C 2.6 and (optionally) ICU 3.0
- New compilers (addition of VC7.1 project files)
- Bug fixes
Our set of binary packages will be changed in accordance with the Xerces-C 2.6 release.
We will release on:
32 bit:
- Win32 VC6 SP5
- Linux RH8 / gcc 3.2
- AIX 5.1 /xlC_r 6
- HP 11i/ aCC 03.052
- Solaris 2.8 Forte C++ 6.2
64 bit:
- Linux SuSE 8.0 / gcc 3.2
- AIX 5.1 /xlC_r 6
- HP 11i/ aCC 03.052
- Solaris 2.8 Forte C++ 6.2
I'd suggest to set Nov 12 as a target day , so the CVS code will be frozen from Nov 9 , Tuesday.
Any comments/suggestions are appreciated !
Please vote!
Here is my
+1
Thanks!
Dmitry Hayes
