[ANN] xml-commons-1.0.b1 'preview' release posted
I'm happy to announce the first 'preview' release of the xml-commons
project. This includes the environment checking utility
org.apache.env.Which, plus updated copies of DOM L2, SAX 2.0x, and JAXP
1.1.3x.
Website: http://xml.apache.org/commons/
Downloads: (with associated .sig files)

tagged: xml-commons-1_0_b1
Comment on xml-commons at mailto:commons-dev@xml.apache.org
This is just a preview release, designed to get a tagged release done
and show a proposed distro format, etc. It will also be used in the
upcoming Xalan-J 2.2/2.3 releases soon. I expect we'll make some minor
changes to the layout; I hope to get Norm's entity resolver in there;
and we still need a real xml-based docset (it's hardcoded HTML for
now).

BTW, the JAXP code in xml-commons by itself in a sense does not have a
version number. See
http://xml.apache.org/~edwingo/jaxp-faq.html#versioning for more info.
There is a difference between the JAXP spec and the JAXP reference
implementation (RI). The version names for the RI is similar enough to
the JAXP spec version numbers to make this confusing. The latest
xml-commons JAXP code implements the JAXP 1.1 spec, however, that code
has never before been distributed outside of an implementation.
Different implementations can copy this code and use their own
implementation versioning scheme. For example, the xerces2beta4 parser
does this. So this parser would be JAXP 1.1 spec compliant but its
implementation version is 2.0beta4. The JAXP RI 1.1.3 copies the same
javax code and its version is 1.1.3. The plan is for the next JAXP RI
will to copy the code and its version will be 1.2.0 b/c it will
implement the JAXP 1.2 spec. Hope this isn't too confusing.
