Here's what I came up with for 1.0 release notes. Please let me know if
you'd like to see any changes. In particular for the known issues category.
Apache Xindice Version 1.0
=============================
This is the first production release of Xindice. Changes from the
last release candidate are minimal.
- Fixed a path traversal security problem in the HTTP server.
- Fixed the Addressbook example to not send data to the client
after the connection had already been commited.
- SAXGenerator now properly generates prefixMapping events.
Known issues in version 1.0:
- UTF-8 Encoding is not entirely clean. Most latin derived
languages should be OK, but English is the most
robust. Xindice 1.1 will resolve any issues in this area.
- XPath queries that return a single atomic value (i.e. the value
of an attribute) rather then a node will return no result. You
must retrieve the containing element to retrieve the content
of an attribute.
- When using XUpdate with JDK 1.4 you must use the
standards override mechanism to replace the version of
Xalan included in the JDK with the version included in
Xindice.
See: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/docs/guide/standards/index.html
for more information.
- On Windows, command line queries can have problems with the
quote handling of the windows shell. In general you should
put double quotes around the entire query string and use
single quotes in your XPath.
- This initial release of Xindice does not have any built in
security. If you run it on a public server you should insure
that remote access to port 4080 is restricted at the network
level. Security will be added in a future release.
