I'm very pleased to announce the release of Xerces 2.0.0 (beta). The Xerces2 beta release has been greatly improved since the alpha release with an updated Xerces Native Interface (XNI) core; the addition of the parser pipeline and configuration interfaces to XNI; and completely re-written documentation, including lots of new information about XNI. The beta release is available from the Xerces-J distribution directory:
http://xml.apache.org/dist/xerces-j/ Xerces2 has support for XML 1.0; Namespaces; DOM 2.0 (including events, traversal, and range); SAX 2.0; and JAXP 1.1. Xerces2 does not yet support XML Schema and has removed support for the deferred DOM implementation. Xerces2 is a nearly complete rewrite of the Xerces 1.x codebase in order to make the code cleaner, more modular, and easier to maintain. Applications using only the standard interfaces such as JAXP, DOM, and SAX should not see any differences. To get involved with Xerces2 development: download the beta release, subscribe to the xerces-j-dev mailing list, and start writing really great code! -- Andy Clark * IBM, TRL - Japan * [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
