Dear Apache XalanC++ committers !

Since the latest XalanC 1.9 release we have implemented some important features and fixed many defects.
I'd suggest to schedule the release of XalanC,  Version 1.10 on Oct.7/2005.   To facilitate the building and
testing of the release I propose a code freeze date of Sept. 19/2005

The main new features in the release will be:
  • Support for XML 1.1 and Namespaces in XML 1.1.
  • Added support for IBM XLC 7.0 compiler on Linux.
  • Improved and stabilized C pluggable memory management functionality.
  • Various improvements in Xalan XML serializers for better performance and stability.
  • Upgrade from XercesC 2.6  to XercesC 2.7
  • Various performance and functionality bug fixes.

I suggest that we release the same platform/compiler set of binaries for XalanC 1.10 as the recent XercesC 2.7 release:

32 bit packages:
  • Windows 2000 compiled with MSVC 6.0 SP3
  • Redhat Linux AS4 compiled with gcc 3.4
  • AIX 5.1 compiled with xlC_r 6.0.0
  • Solaris 2.8 compiled with Forte C++ Version 6 Update 2
  • HP-UX 11i compiled with aCC A.03.52 with pthreads

64 bit packages:
  • SuSE Linux 8.0 compiled with gcc 3.2 (AMD)
  • AIX 5.1 compiled with xlC_r 6.0.0
  • Solaris 2.8 compiled with Forte C++ Version 6 Update 2
  • HP-UX 11i compiled with aCC A.03.52 with pthreads



Dear committers, if the date and the content of the release seems to be sufficient, please vote for the release!

Here is my +1
