Aside from some prototyping on an implementation of XML Schema 1.1 the project has been fairly quiet. Design thoughts have been posted on the Wiki. A few JIRA issues were recently raised by a member regarding the website/documentation (e.g. links to MD5 files) and packages we've published. We plan to address these before having our next release.
Xerces-C
A number of big tasks have been completed in the preparation for the 3.0.0 release:
- Website copy split and documentation reorganization in order to host both 3 and 2-series releases.
- Reorganization of the autotools-based build system.
- Removal of the lazy initialization that relied on invalid double-checked locking trick.
- Clean up of the error messages.
The build and tests are now passing on a number of platforms that were known to fail before (AIX, Solaris, Cygwin/Mingw). See the XercescBuildStatus page for details. A successful vote for the release of 3.0.0 beta was held.
Xerces-P
It was noticed that some files still have the 1.1 Apache license. When Xerces-C 3.0 is released a new version of P will be with the 2.0 license. We are checking and fixing the code in SVN.
