Hi folks, Well it's been over 6 weeks since Xerces 2.0.0 beta 3 came out. In that time we've firmed up schema support substantially, implemented some experimental DOM level 3 features--including a sort of grammar caching--, added support for producing the PSVI on documents validated by schemas, and produced a sample to write this information in a form similar to that produced by XSV (the de facto standard for such things). So it seems like about time to put out another beta.
Why another beta, not a production version? Since so much new code has been put down lately it seems a lot more testing/bug identification and resolution needs to be done before declaring Xerces2 production-ready. But it does seem fair to state that we're very close, especially in areas like schema validation where we appear to be more solid than Xerces1. So Monday's the goal for Xerces 2.0.0 beta4. This message is just a heads-up to developers as to what's coming down the pipe--as well as being something of a status report. So if any one has outstanding code to put down that they want included in the next release, now would be an excellent time to put it down or at least let the community know.
