Xerces-C++ 3.1.0 RC1 released
Hi,
Xerces-C++ 3.1.0 release candidate 1 is available for download:
http://people.apache.org/builds/xerces/c/
Please test and report back any problems you find. The plan is to allow
slightly more than a month for testing and, provided no serious problems
are uncovered, release the final 3.1.0 in early January 2010.
Major new features and improvement in this release include:
* Working multi-import support. The support for handling multiple import
declarations with the same target namespaces has been improved and
thoroughly tested. Furthermore, the same logic was extended to
loadGrammar and the schemaLocation attributes so that you can load
several schemas with the same namespace and/or "add" more declarations
with the schemaLocation attributes. To enable this feature, set the
XMLUni::fgXercesHandleMultipleImports feature/parameter to true.
Starting with this release all the tests and examples have multi-import
support enabled by default.
* New property, XMLUni::fgXercesLowWaterMark, allows to configure the
parser buffer low water mark. In particular, setting this value to 0
disables data caching in the parser which can be useful if you want
the SAX events to be dispatched as soon as the data is available.
* DOMLSParser::parseWithContext implementation. In particular, this
functionality allows one to parse a document fragment with missing
namespace declarations as long as the context document provides them.
* Improved performance and reduced memory footprint when validating with
large maxOccurs values. If available, the SSE2 instructions are used to
further speedup this case.
* Improved scalability of the XML Schema identity checking (key, keyref,
and unique).
* Multiple XML Schema conformance fixes.
* More robust external library detection (libcurl and ICU). In particular,
the build system no longer tries to inject any additional paths such as
/usr or /usr/local.
* Compilation of the ICU message loader resources no longer depends on
the ICU implementation details.
The following bugs and security vulnerabilities have been fixed in this
release compared to the previous release (3.0.1):

trunk except for fixing critical problems found during testing. If you
would like to continue working towards future releases, please create
a temporary branch.
