standard "User" release. Accordingly, we plan to release &xslt4j; 2.2 soon.</p>
<p>Beginning with this release, xalan.jar contains just the &xslt4j; implementation. The source files for the SAX level 2, DOM 2,
and JAXP 1.1 interfaces are pulled from the xml-commons repository (<resource-ref idref="xmlapirepository"/>), and are built as

<p>Beginning with this release, we are placing two distribution files in the <resource-ref idref="xslt4j-distdir"/>: a binary
distribution file, which includes everything needed to run &xslt4j; and build applications, and a source distribution. For
more information, see <link idref="getstarted" anchor="download">Downloading what you need</link>.</p>
<p>This release also includes <link idref="samples" anchor="validatexmlinput">ValidateXMLInput</link>, a sample that illustrates
how you can verify that the XML input you are transforming adheres to its document type. It is in the samples/validate subdirectory
- along with a Validate utility that you can use to validate XML files without performing a transformation.</p>
