Is there going to be another Xalan release soon?
The Xalan developers built it for us after they froze their code. Xerces 2.9.0 was timed to coincide with Xalan 2.7.1. It was supposed to happen a few days apart to mitigate the chicken and egg problem we had. Xalan needed a new Xerces release in order to enable the new DOM L3 serializer in their release. The new Xerces release needed the DOM L3 serializer from Xalan. Unfortunately their release got delayed [3] for non-technical reasons. It was tagged back in November but it still hasn't happened yet. I believe it's supposed to happen soon. If you need to put serializer.jar up first, you should probably wait for the Xalan release and get the jar from there. > -Nathan > > [1] Snippet from manifest of serializer.jar > Implementation-Title: org.apache.xml.serializer > Implementation-Version: 2.7.1 > > [2] http://www.apache.org/dist/xml/xalan-j/ [3] http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=xalan-dev&m=116495476400467&w=2 Michael Glavassevich XML Parser Development IBM Toronto Lab E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
