this should really be moved to the xerces-c-dev list since this list is deprecated... anyway...
1.2.0a is released now... taken directly from the xerces-c list: "There were two major problems reported with Xerces-C 1.2.0 that we released on June 21, which are: > (a) DOM_Attr.getSpecified always returns true for a valid attribute node. I > might have misread the DOM Specs, but I thought that this function returned > false when an element's attribute has a default value, with the _document_ > having no mention of said attribute. (b) The style book generated documentation was in UTF-16 format, which not only doubled the size of the files, but also made the .html files unreadable using 'regular' editors. Now .html files are in UTF-8 format. We have fixed both these errors in this 'revision a'." the next release will be 1.2.1. as for the time frame, i have no idea. if you want significant performance enhancements, i suggest getting the latest version from CVS or downloading one of the nightly builds from xml.apache.org -Joe Polastre ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) IBM Cupertino, XML Technology Group ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, July 11, 2000 3:07 PM Subject: RE: Xerces-C 1.2.0a > Can somebody please comment on what performance enhancements are going into > the 1.2.0a version. > What is the time frame when this will be released.
