May 2009 Report
Xerces-J
In March and April we elected two new committers: Hiranya Jayathilaka and Mukul Gandhi. Hiranya was our Google Summer of Code (GSoC) student for 2008 and has continued to be active on the project by helping with the XML Schema 1.1 effort. Mukul has been one of the more active developers lately, completing the bulk of the support for XML Schema 1.1 assertions and getting it to work with both the Eclipse (a.k.a. Psychopath) and Saxon XPath 2.0 processors. With these contributions we're now getting close to a point where we could have a preview release containing features from the XML Schema 1.1 working drafts.
