Congrats Xerces team,

  I have been using Xerces from a very long time. I has using it since 
 2.0.15 (XML4J). It has been so far one of the stablest software that 
 I have seen. It is great to see how quickly you people have been 
 making releases. Could you share your development practices for 
 making these accomplishments apart from the standard XP practices 
 of reviews, daily builds, etc., 
 
 I have been meandering around the DTD parsing API, Schema parsing API and
 XML parsing API's from quite a long time. I have found andy's code in Neko 
 quite useful in using the DTDConfiguration. A sample of DTDConfiguration 
 with XNI DTD handler API's could have been added in samples so that 
 people need not get to list regularly for DTD parsing possibilities with
 xerces. 
 
Wishing you people a lot of good wishes from us, the user community. 
Thank you xerces team, especially joseph, neil, gopal and elena for you
timely responses,
also to my colleagues in the developer community for taking their time in
sharing their knowledge.
<Suresh/>

Subject: [ANNOUNCEMENT]: Xerces-J 2.5.0 now available


Hi all, 

The Xerces-J team is very happy to announce that version 2.5.0 of
Xerces-J is now available.  

This release provides a partial partial implementation of the XML
Inclusions (XInclude) W3C Candidate Recommendation and also brings
Xerces-J into compliance with the most recent work of the W3C DOM
working group on DOM level 3 Core and Load/Save. 


Specifically, the significant changes introduced in this release are:

- Added annotation support to the XML Schema component model API
implementation. Modified the PSVI API to allow exposing facets as
objects. [Neil Graham, Elena Litani] 

- Added preliminary XInclude implementation, excluding support for
XPointer and XML Base specifications. [Peter McCracken, Arun Yadav,
Elena Litani] 

- Implemented the latest DOM Level 3 Core and Load and Save drafts in
Last Call. [Elena Litani, Gopal Sharma, Arun Yadav, Neeraj Bajaj] 

- Modified PSVIWriter to output all PSVI information. Changed it to
output to an XNI event stream rather than a file. [Peter McCracken, Neil
Graham] 

- Modified error messages for Schema validation. [Peter McCracken, Sandy
Gao] 

- Fixed an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException in the scanner caused by some
invalid character references. [Michael Glavassevich] 

- Fixed various bugs related to XML 1.1. [Neil Graham, Neil Delima,
Michael Glavassevich] 

- Fixed various bugs in the URI implementation, and added previously
missing support for IPv6 addresses. [Michael Glavassevich] 

- Fixed performance issue for attributes with large value field. [Thomas
DeWeese] 

- Fixed various bugs. [Neil Delima, Neil Graham, Elena Litani, Michael
Glavassevich, K. Venugopal]
