Where I'm at: I've applied all the patches Roger applied to master back to the branch, including the few I had backed out due to an (apparent) mistake on my part about Windows linking, though I'm still verifying that. It's easy to work around anyway, so it's not a problem.
I reviewed other open tickets and closed a few. A few more are beyond my capabilities or risk tolerance, or are definite API changes. What's left: XERCESC-2241 - open PR guarding int overflow that I asked Roger to apply and I'll backport XERCESC-2237 - I reproduced what seems to be a total failure of at least the curl and socket NetAccessors that seems kind of strange, I would think this would be a known issue if they're this broken but so far I can't make them work. Could be a parser setting I'm not familiar with. I plan to debug it a bit but don't expect to be able to fix it (I don't use that code). Some time next week I expect I'll get a RC built and posted. -- Scott
