Announcement: Apache XML Security v1.0.0
XML Security v1.0.0 Released
---------------------
We are proud to announce the 1.0.0 final
release of the XML Security package.
About XML Security
------------------
The XML Security project is an implementation of
security related XML standards. Currently, it includes
implementations of W3C recommendations "Canonical XML"
and "XML Signature Syntax and Processing".
Basically, this means that you can use this software
for creating and verifying digital signatures which
are expressed in XML and sign both XML and/or arbitrary
contents.
For more information about the XML Security project, please go to
http://xml.apache.org/security/
For more information about XML Signature, go to
http://www.w3.org/Signature/
For pointers about XML Security in general, please go to
http://www.nue.et-inf.uni-siegen.de/~geuer-pollmann/xml_security.html
---------------------------------------------------------
Downloads for XML Security v1.0.0 are available at
http://xml.apache.org/security/dist/
The source distibution is available at
http://xml.apache.org/security/dist/xml-security-src-1_0_0.zip (1.0 MB)
http://xml.apache.org/security/dist/xml-security-src-1_0_0.zip.sig
The binary distibution is available at
http://xml.apache.org/security/dist/xml-security-bin-1_0_0.zip (3.1 MB)
http://xml.apache.org/security/dist/xml-security-bin-1_0_0.zip.sig
---------------------------------------------------------
The source distibution includes
- JAVA source code for the library itself
- JAVA unit test code for the library
- JAVA sample code for the library
- test vectors for the unit tests
The source distibution does _not_ include
- JavaDocs
- the required (binary JAR) libraries.
The libraries are available under http://xml.apache.org/ .
It requires
- Jakarta ANT as build/make tool
http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/jakarta-ant/release/v1.4.1/bin/jakarta-ant
-1.4.1-bin.zip
- Apache Xerces v2.0.0
http://xml.apache.org/dist/xerces-j/Xerces-J-bin.2.0.0.zip
- Apache Xalan v2.2.0
http://xml.apache.org/dist/xalan-j/xalan-j_2_2-bin.zip
- Jakarta Log4J
http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/jakarta-log4j-1.2beta2.zip
- JUnit 3.7
http://download.sourceforge.net/junit/junit3.7.zip
- A JCE Cryptographic Service Provider.
The distibution uses the BounceCastle JCE as a default provider.
When you first start ant for compiling, the JCE JAR is downloaded
from http://www.bouncycastle.org/ . This hook is included to
circumvent US export restrictions.
---------------------------------------------------------
The binary distibution includes
- JAVA sample code for the library
- test vectors for the unit tests
- Generated JavaDocs
- The complete library compiled
- All required libaries (but not the JCE which is downloaded online).

Really? I think this should be a priority (IMO). It looks REALLY bad when
people go to the website and the version number is 0.0.1 when a 1.0 release is
available.
Ask someone else in Apache to help you update the site. Shouldn't be that hard.
What is the problem? Can I help out?

Single acts of tyranny may be ascribed to the accidental opinion of the day;
but a series of oppressions, begun at a distinguished period, and pursued
unalterably thro' every change of ministers, to plainly prove a deliberate,
systematical plan of reducing us to slavery. -- Thomas Jefferson

Christian,
E-mail me a zip of the up-to-date docs and I'll make sure they get

;-)))) In good Perl tradition, I started numbering with 0.0.1 when I gave
the project to Apache, and now we have a good official starting point and
call it 1.0.0 . The website is not that easy update-able ;-(. But I hope
that in a few weeks, all docu will be generated automatically.
