The Xalan-J 2.7.1 release has passed its regression testing. It was tested in fifty some combinations of hardware, operating systems and version of the JRE, on valid combinations:
Hardware: ======== amd64 ia64 power PC power PC 64 s390 sparc x86 Operating System: ================ HP-UX IBM AIX Linux PA_RISC2.0 SunOS Windows 2000 Windows Server 2003 Windows XP JRE: ==== Hewlett-Packard Company JDK 1.4.2 Hewlett-Packard Company JDK 1.5.0.02 IBM Corporation JDK 1.3.1 IBM Corporation JDK 1.4.2 IBM Corporation JDK 2.2 IBM Corporation JDK 2.3 Sun Microsystems Inc. JDK 1.4.2_06-b02 Sun Microsystems Inc. JDK 1.4.2_07-b05 Sun Microsystems Inc. JDK 1.5.0_05-b05 All testing was done with Xerces-J 2.9.0. I want to thank Yash Talwar for running the tests. I looked at the variety of output produced for regressions. That was more tedious than I thought it would be. A few more tests passed than compared with Xalan-J 2.7.0, so quality is up. There were three regressions. Testcases position106, processorinfo03 and select75 failed on Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows Server 2003. However all the failures were with JDK 1.3.1 on those operating systems, and were not seen with 1.4.2 on the same operating systems. I extracted the tests and code for Xalan-J 2.7.1 independently and ran on Windows 2000 with IBM Corporation JDK 1.3.1 (build 1.3.1, J2RE 1.3.1 IBM Windows 32 build cn131-20031021) and all of those testcases passed. My conclusion is that this is a service issue with the version of the JDK 1.3.1 used in testing. So given the wide range of hardware, operating systems and JRE-s that the tests went well on, and given that the few regressions appear to be related to the JDK service level, Xalan-J 2.7.1 has passed regression testing and it is now on to signing the packages, putting them on the mirrors site, and updating the website! - Brian Minchau Apache Xalan PMC --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
