DOM Level 3 APIs for Xalan-J and a new Xalan release (2.7.1) 2006-10-16 - By Brian Minchau
Fellow developers,
I had started some voting both on accepting some code to support DOM Level
3 APIs from the Apache Xerces team into Xalan-J. I had also started a vote
on having a new Apache Xalan release, 2.7.1. All voting was on the
"pmc@(protected)" ( pmc = Project Management Committee) mailing list, since
the PMC has the ultimate vote on such issues.
A fellow PMC member has made me aware that the various PMC mailing lists
are now "private@(protected)" and the old "pmc@(protected)" lists are just aliases
to "private", and the "private" is for issues that cannot or should not be
discussed in public, such as security problems, or discussions that require
confidentiality.
Be assured that DOM Level 3 APIs and a new release are not issues that
Xalan wishes to hide from the public. I was thinking "pmc" rather than
"private".
So before I put these to a vote (among the PMC members on *this* xalan-dev
mailing list), I'm going to open up the discussion.
The Apache Xerces project would like to use the serializer that is in Xalan
and deprecate their own serializer. This has already been discussed on the
Xerces mailing lists. The biggest problem with this is that the Xalan
serializer does not support the DOM Level 3 APIs. Xerces would like to
donate some code to Xalan to make that happen and start using the Xalan
serializer.
Any thoughts on this? I'm hoping that this will work out.
The second point of discussion is much more brief. Xalan 2.7.0 was released
on Aug 8, 2005, and I think it is high time to put out 2.7.1, hopefully
with the DOM Level 3 support. Any thoughts on Xalan 2.7.1?
