Hi, The first beta for the upcoming Xerces-C++ 3.0.0 release is available for download:
http://people.apache.org/builds/xerces/c/ The purpose of this beta is to allow all interested parties to test the new autotools-based build system on various platforms as well as to make sure that no regressions have been introduced compared to 2.8.0. Below is the list of new features and improvements in 3.0.0 that could serve as good reasons to upgrade from 2.8.0 and thus help us test this beta: - Better build system (autotools) for UNIX/Linux platforms - Project files for VC 9 - Support for the ICU transcoder in VC 7.1, 8, and 9 project files - libcurl-based net accessor - Support for XInclude - Support for a subset of XPath - Conformance to the final DOM Level 3 interface specification - Ability to provide custom DOM memory manager - Better 64-bit support - Cleaned up error messages - Better tested, including against W3C XML Schema test suite - Removal of the deprecated code Some UNIX platforms (e.g., AIX, Solaris, etc.) may require extra configure and/or make options which are listed on the following page (these will be incorporated into the build instructions before the final release): http://wiki.apache.org/xerces/XercescBuildStatus Boris -- Boris Kolpackov, Code Synthesis Tools Open source XML data binding for C++: http://codesynthesis.com/products/xsd Mobile/embedded validating XML parsing: http://codesynthesis.com/products/xsde
