There's no official timeline posted. However, we're thinking
of having a beta release with initial XML Schema support (in
alpha level) in a week or two. Then we'll continue to improve
the implementation, tune for performance, and tweak the XNI
API until the end of the year. And the general plan is that
we'll hopefully have a non-beta release of Xerces2 early
next year. The code is quite stable now but is missing XML 
Schema validation support.

The XNI API will continue to evolve over time. However, we
hope to lock the Core and Parser Configuration API when we
release a non-beta version of the code because changes to
the core interfaces after that time would have serious
impact on people using that API.

We try to use CVS branches sparingly. And aside from the
major re-design and re-implementation from Xerces 1.x to
Xerces2, we haven't needed them much. Of course, we'd use
them more if needed.
