Status report for the Xalan project
- February 2007
Xalan-C
=======
Nothing new to report, just the usual bug fixing.
Xalan-J
=======
>From a code point of view the Xalan-J 2.7.1 release has been tested and is
ready.
The Apache 2.0 licenses are in the code now.
The 2.7.1 release, besides the usual bug fixes will also have upgrades to:
- Xerces-J 2.9.0
- xml-commons-external-1.3.04
However from a packaging point of view we are not quite ready. The new
requirements
on LICENSE and NOTICE files are being worked on. There will be one of
each,
but in the past there was quite a number of each (e.g. one for Xalan,
one for the included Xerces, one for BCEL ...). This also impacts various
targets
in the build.xml file since these targets build the distribution files with
the NOTICE/LICENCE
in them.
All in all the 2.7.1 release just needs a little testing of the packaging
and the approval of the PMC
and it will be out.

Brian Minchau
PMC Chairperson, Apache Xalan
