I know it's prior to the board deadline (1st of March), but any chance of getting the Apache 2 license into the source for this?
(I know this is a big ask :>.)
Cheers,

Hello,
I'd like to propose that we put out a Xalan-Java 2.6.0 release February 27.
It's been more than three months since we released Xalan-J 2.5.2. At the time Xalan-J 2.5.2 was proposed, Santiago suggested that we follow it with a release that would include the following features:
1. Dynamic support to resolve external Java calls (i.e. dynamic alternative to xsltc:cast()). 2. Support for DOM and DOM fragments as parameters to a stylesheet. 3. URIResolvers and general mechanism to resolve relative URIs is not compatible with Xalan.
I understand from Santiago that Arun Yadav is working on the first two items, and that Santiago has committed a patch for the third.
In addition, since 2.5.2 there have been a number of defects fixed, and some new functionality added. These include the following:
- Bug fixes 797, 5761, 14607, 19464, 23046, 24187, 24188, 24414, 24278, 24423, 24518, 24695, 24958, 25442, 25449, 25924, 26169
Security patch for code in serializer and in translet class loading Public static constants made final Parameter optimization fixes Fix for format-number bug Use of translet as whitespace filter where required generate-id() bug (extra xml namespace node in DTM) Methods in XSLTVisitor made public
And probably many others to come.
- Eliminated use of "enum" as name to allow compilation under JDK 1.5
- Code to split namesArray into three for translet - improves translet initialization time
- Added a translet versioning mechanism
- Added a new TransformThread sample
- Caching of XMLReaders is now shared by XSLTC and Interpretive (in DTMManager)
- Changes that allow XSLTC to use other DTM implementations - Some code now shared between Xalan-J Interpretive and XSLTC (stylesheetPIHandler and StopParseException)
- Conversions from reference types to double, string, boolean
- Removed ForwardPositionIterator and ForwardPositionExpr, which were no longer needed
- New versions of Xerces-J (2.6.0) and xml-commons (xml-commons-external-1.2.01)
In addition, I expect more defect fixes will be coming.
Here's my +1.
Thanks,
