Dear M. Shafie,
We will certainly take some time to port & test our various plugins to
the "polished" XXE release 4.9.1.
We have however some concern about the new cache system, many thanks for
your help. Here is how XXE is mainly used at my company:
+ We develop our own plugins either for our specific XML dialects, or
for customization purposes (e.g. DocBook-4)
+ Our processing software is automatically distributed overnight, it
contains somewhere a distribution of XXE, which is then automatically
updated nightly (that is, when changes take place).
Every morning, our users use upgraded versions of all our XXE plugins.
There are two major types of uses:
1) Some users (the technical writers) launches the XXE interactive
application (a command, e.g. 'xmlmind' available form his/her PATH)
In this case, if we understand the cache system, it would be
mandatory for these users to turn the cache off, or it would prevent our
XXE plugins to be used ?
Since XXE is opened, this would not be a major problem here I guess.
2) Most users (developers) uses XXE without knowing it, within a batch
command, e.g. when generating some PDF documentation for their
processing modules during compilation phases.
In this case, what happen if the cache is turned on ? (if it will
be by default with XXE 4.9.x ).
Unless we have misunderstood how the cache works, it might be
problematic since we cannot ask to users of a batch command to launch
an interactive application just to turn the cache off...
In case the above statements are true, would it sound reasonable, for
backward compatibility reasons, to consider using the cache system as a
user's choice rather than as a default ? Or is there other way around ?
In case the above statements are false, accept our apologies for the
silly question...
Many thanks for your advise,
Philippe.
