This is just a warning that we are going to have to move up to ICU 1.4 for the upcoming Xerces-C 1.1.0 release. This is going to require a couple of internal changes in the ICU transcoder wrapper in the Xerces product. I will have to make these changes soon. I'll have to take a little time to make sure everything still works, but I'll have to check this code in early next week if not later today. This is going to mean that, until a week or so later when the official releases of both these products come along, those of you using the ICU will be broken if you grab the new code and don't upgrade to the ICU 1.4 version. I'm not sure when ICU 1.4 will be publically available, so worst case you might not want to get the latest repository code if you are using any of the ICU services. If you aren't using a configuration which brings in ICU, then you won't be affected by this. One change will be that ICU will not need to be told anything anymore about where its converter files are. So we will be getting rid of the requirement that each platform support file find the location of its own DLL or Shared library. This will make initialization easier and faster. So, once I've checked in the code, the other platforms will be broken until this same change is made in them. But, since its removal of code, it should happen very quickly. ---------------------------------------- Dean Roddey Software Weenie IBM Center for Java Technology - Silicon Valley [EMAIL PROTECTED]
