November 2007 Report
Xerces-J
In September we released Xerces-J 2.9.1. This release fixes several bugs which were present in Xerces-J 2.9.0. It also includes a few minor enhancements and performance improvements.
Back on August 30th the W3C published a last call working draft of XML Schema 1.1 Part 1: Structures. Partial support for earlier drafts of XML Schema 1.1 has been available in Xerces-J for several years though only recently has the working group made enough progress on the specification to consider doing a full implementation. We've been soliciting feedback from the community on which features they're most interested in hseeing in Xerces-J.
