update of xml libs?

2001-06-20 Thread Kelly Campbell

I am wondering if anyone objects to an update of our bundled dependencies:

Xerces 1.2.3 -> 1.4.0
Xalan   2.0.0 -> 2.1.1-dev (neccessary to fix the Gump build issues Scott
and I have been discussing), should be upgraded to a final released version
of xalan-2.1.1 or 2.2.0 (whatever they decide to call it) when that is
available

I don't think these upgrades will require people using FOP in other projects
to also upgrade their projects to these versions as the API's in the new
versions are backwards compatible. There are some minor JAXP api changes
between xerces 1.2/1.3 and 1.4, so we just have to make sure not to use
those new features yet.

You seem to be following XML library versioning issues the closest of all of us,
certainly as it pertains to FOP, so my gut feeling is that if you think it is OK
then it is.

If you can, maybe you could highlight these versioning requirements in one or
more appropriate documentation places. It would be nice to keep a history of why
we adopt specific versions of libraries. Much obliged (and I'm sure Fotis is,
too).

Regards,
