Hello all, what is the status of the Xalan-C project?
To be quite honest, from the outside it looks like this project has more or less been abandoned: * The last release (1.10.0) is five years old, and * depends on an equally-old Xerces-C version, and * when using ICU for localization, it breaks with ICU >= 4.x (ref. XALANC-702). * (Sidenote) Several links on the project website are broken (as far as I can see, all links that should point into the Jira). I am maintaining several software projects that rely on Xalan / Xerces for XML processing, and ICU for Unicode support. Right now, I keep compatible with Xalan by not updating. The problem is clear: * OS update -> new GCC * new GCC -> build of ICU 3.x breaks -> new ICU * new ICU -> build of Xerces-C breaks -> new Xerces-C BUT: * new ICU -> build of Xalan-C breaks -> NO NEW XALAN-C AVAILABLE. At the bottom line, my question is: Is there something I overlooked, like some post-1.10.0 release of Xalan-C that I simply missed, or a new Xalan-C release just around the corner? Or should I start looking for an alternative to Xalan-C because this project is defunct? Regards, -- Martin Baute so...@rootdirectory.de
