February 2013 Report

Xerces-J

The development focus continues to be on improving the quality of the XML Schema 1.1 implementation. Several bugs were fixed in this area and a large set of XML Schema 1.1 unit tests were contributed.

Mailing list traffic has been moderate; about 100+ posts on the j-dev and j-users lists since the beginning of November 2012.

No new releases this quarter.

Xerces-C

Discussion continues about the possible donation of icXML (a high performance version of Xerces-C++) to the Xerces project. Rob Cameron is currently looking for a champion to help get this on track and understands that building a community of developers and users around icXML is key for it to be a successful subproject here.

One minor bug was fixed during the reporting period.

General

We recently put in a request to the Infrastructure team to migrate the Xerces website to svnpubsub. Everything is set up on our end (in SVN) for the migration. We're just waiting for Infrastructure to turn the switch.
