I think the two things that have been holding it in beta were that the XML Schema 1.1 specification wasn't final and that the implementation wasn't fully complete / stabilized. The XML Schema 1.1 spec is final now so that's not an issue anymore. It's been awhile since I've looked at it but I think there may be some loose ends and perhaps also some experimental things (e.g. half-baked XML Schema API changes) that we'd want to clean up before merging all of this into the main release. > Gary > > > Thanks. > > Michael Glavassevich > XML Technologies and WAS Development > IBM Toronto Lab > E-mail: [email protected] > E-mail: [email protected] > > Gary Gregory <[email protected]> wrote on 05/11/2014 10:53:24 AM: > > > Samuel, > > > I am glad to hear you are interesting in furthering Xalan > > development.
