David,
+1 from me. (Xerces 2.4 build would be a very good thing.)
I can do Net/FreeBSD testing of release archives if that's of use?
Cheers,

Hi folks,
It's time to start thinking about doing a Xalan-C release that is compatible with the latest Xerces-C 2.4 release.
Since Xalan-C 1.6 we've: - almost completed the message localization feature (a few more tweaks are necessary -- the patches are waiting to be committed) - enhanced the Unix build/package/install process - added some more EXSLT functions, - updated the source to build with Xerces-C 2.4, and - fixed various reported bugs.
We have a bit more work to do before we're ready to go. Recently we've had the help of Dmitry Hayes, Matthew Hoyt, June Ng and Soheila Bashardoust-Tajali, and we're counting on their continued support.
There are a few bugs we still need to have a look at [Dmitry/Matt]. We also need to update the documentation [June], build the distributions and complete the testing [June/Soheila].
So, how about we target to code freeze on January 6, 2004 and release Xalan-C 1.7 on January 9, 2004? Does this sound reasonable to all the committers?
If anyone else would like to volunteer their services, please let us know. We need someone to try a MacOS build with the latest code in cvs and flush out any build/runtime problems as we don't have an environment ourselves to do this work.
Thanks!
Dave
