[ANN] Xalan 0.19.4 developer's distribution now available at xml.apache.org/dist

[Sh...@lotus.com]

We've posted an updated Xalan 0.19.4 which works with Xerces-J 1.0.1 in the
normal distribution area.  See:
    http://xml.apache.org/dist/xalan_0_19_4.jar
    http://xml.apache.org/dist/xalan_0_19_4.jar.sig

This release is a 'weekly developer's release' (even though it has a
maintenance update number on it).  We have done minimal testing; it seems
to have lots of good bugfixes from the previous release, but caveat emptor.

This is the last planned Xalan build that uses the Xerces 1.0.1 release.
Shortly we'll be integrating with the new Xerces 1.0.2 with it's SAX 2
work, etc.

Build notes:
-- See README in the root along with STATUS, DONE, and BUGS, which are
fairly well updated.  Lots of bugfixes; some more performance work; new
documentation; greatly improved samples.

-- Docs do build from this distribution; they are also provided pre-built
for your reading pleasure in the /build/docs directory (sources are in
./xdocs).  If you wish to build docs yourself you'll also need some files
from xml-site copied into ./xdocs/style
You can also look at updated docs online: http://xml.apache.org/xalan

-- Compiled on WinNT Server 4.0 SP5 with Sun's JDK 1.1.8; all using
Makefile, EXCEPT docs, which must be compiled with JDK 1.2.2,

-- Sources are tagged 'xalan_0_19_4'.

-- Xerces compatibility: this distribution works with the Xerces-J 1.0.1
distribution.  It probably does not compile against the daily Xerces CVS
repository due to their upcoming SAX2 work.  We'll be integrating with that
shortly.
