Right, [EMAIL PROTECTED] is where such issues should be raised. So far I've not heard a peep from Xerces folk, and it was on my list to find out why that's so.
The current stuff is "sax2 r2pre3", and as Edwin said this is intended to be "no semantic changes". It's more recent than the "r2pre1" code (with changes) that Xerces now bundles, and includes fixes for bugs that folk have reported -- some of which include documentation, in most cases clarifications needed. Note that there are also some JUNIT tests I sent out a few weeks back, testing against the behavior that's long been documented. Xerces didn't do as well there as I'd have hoped. I put those tests onto the http://xmlconf.sourceforge.net/ download site since they're GPL'd, not public domain. The tests are still out for comment, but the main issues I noticed with Xerces (1.4.3) are clear bugs. - Dave p.s. I managed to dig up archives of xerces-j-dev and was glad to notice that the "incompatible change" was for schema defaulting, not the SAX support! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Edwin Goei" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, November 26, 2001 4:33 PM Subject: [Sax-devel] Re: Xerces1,2 proposals: one w/ potential incompatible change > Arnaud Le Hors wrote: > > > > Although I don't have the specific details handy, some of the changes > > introduced in the version of SAX available on sourceforge are controversial. > > Not only some bugs in the code have been fixed, the javadoc which serves as > > the "spec" has been changed in ways that change the semantics of the > > methods.
