February 2006 Report
Xerces-J
The Xerces-J 2.8.0 release is planned for this month (February, 2006). Development items include features for disabling ID/IDREF, unparsed entity and identity constraint checking, a property for starting schema assessment from a specific type definition and enhancements to XML schema annotation support. We've had a few new volunteers come forward to help out with the effort who seem interested in becoming regular contributors. An up to date version of the release plan is available [http://svn.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/xerces/java/trunk/Xerces2.8.0-REL_PLAN.html?content-type=text%2Fhtml here].
