Hi folks,
It's been quite a long time since we had a Xerces-C release. I think most
of the development items that people committed to earlier on this year
(PSVI/schema component model support, grammar statelessness/persistability,
performance improvements) are just about in the can. And, our local tests
at least don't show any conformance regressions in basic functionality.
So it seems like it might be about time to roll out Xerces-C 2.4. This
will give folks a chance to play with the new features, and hopefully
benefit from what performance improvements we've been able to eke out in
basic functionality.
What would people think about the middle of next week as being a target for
the next release? Do the project file maintainers (James and Vatily in
particular) think that's enough time to make sure we're buildable
everywhere folks want us to be? I think Jason would like that DOM memory
leak plugged; does anyone else know of bugs they think are of the stop-ship
variety?
I wouldn't want to assert that all the new code is perfect, by the way. In
fact, in the event that anyone uncovers major bugs in the new code, I'd be
willing to commit to a 2.4.1 bug-fix release in the near term (less than a
month?) after 2.4.0. Do folks think that also sounds like a reasonable
plan?
Cheers!
Neil
