February 2012 Report

Xerces-J

Development of the XML Schema 1.1 validator reached an important milestone this quarter. Xerces-J now passes all of the relevant XML Schema 1.1 W3C test cases and that has helped advance the XML Schema 1.1 specification to a W3C Proposed Recommendation. This means we're finally in the home stretch and should be able to make XML Schema 1.1 support a full fledged feature in the not too distant future. It's currently made available as a beta release.

Several new bug reports and patches were created/provided by members of the community. These still need to be reviewed.

Mailing list traffic has been moderate; about 50+ posts on the j-dev and j-users lists since the beginning of December.

No new releases this quarter.
