[ANNOUNCEMENT] Xerces 2.0.1 Release

[Neeraj Bajaj <Ne...@Sun.COM>]

Hi Folks,

		The Xerces-J Developer community is pleased to announce new 
release of Xerces2 named Xerces 2.0.1. This release is a first bug fix release 
after Xerces 2 production version. We are very confident that this product is 
more stable from it's predecessor.
 
 This release fixes a number of bugs. Many changes that have been made 
 since the release of Xerces-J 2.0.0 are:
 
 - Added the support of reporting line/column numbers of schema errors.
 - When creating DOM nodes, use Strings we already have, instead of 
   creating new ones. 
 - Updated DTD datatypes to use the new datatype interfaces.  
 - Fixed an entity resolution bug: we passed null as the system ID to 
   the entity resolver.
 - Fixed a bug in the handling of URI's containing "../../". 
 - Fixed a thread-safety bug in schema simple type implementation. 
   The implementation class should be stateless after construction.
 - Fixed bugs in namespace algorithm for serialization. 
 - Fixed a bug in deferred DOM for CDATA nodes.
 - Enabled processing of base 64-encoded material on OS/390. 
 - Modified XNI grammar interfaces such that Grammars now have an associated
   XMLGrammarDescription and XMLGrammarDescriptions record the type of the
   grammar.
 - Fixed a bug related to Signature of call back attributeDecl in XNI samples. 
 - Fixed a bug related to feature prefix in AbstractDOMParser. 
 - Added the support for defer loading of schema gramars, grammar is parsed
   only when there is reference to any schema component from that namespace.
 - JAXP 1.2 schemaSource property, if the String given is relative URI, 
   now it is resolved against the instance document being parsed. 
 - Fixed a bug related to SchemaNormalizedValue to expose it only when
   validation attempted is full.
   
   The release is available in both source and binary versions, as a zip file
and a tar-gzip archive, from <http://xml.apache.org/dist/xerces-j>.


Cheers !!
