[ANNOUNCEMENT]: Xerces-J 2.2.0 now available

[ne...@ca.ibm.com]

Hi all,

The Xerces-J team is pleased to announce the availability of Xerces-J
2.2.0.  As documented below, two changes to the Xerces Native Interface
have been made in this release.  Performance improvements and a host of
bugfixes comprise the remainder of the changes contained in the release.
Specifically:

- The XMLComponent interface has been modified so that components used in a
parser configuration can specify preferred default values for settings.
Also updated
all classes that implement the XMLComponent interface. [Andy Clark]
- The XNI XMLDocumentHandler interface has been altered so that
NamespaceContext objects are passed on the startDocument call. This makes
the start/endPrefixMapping
calls redundant; they have been deprecated. [Elena Litani, Arnaud Le Hors]
- Many conformance bugs have been fixed and the parser's performance
enhanced in many situations. [Elena Litani, Sandy Gao, Neil Graham]

As always, binary and source versions of the release are available; they
can be downloaded from http://xml.apache.org/dist/xerces-j/ .

Enjoy!
Neil
