[Announce]: XML::Xerces-1.5.6

["Jason E. Stewart" <ja...@openinformatics.com>]

Hey All,

I'm extremely happy to announce a major improvement for
XML::Xerces. There were *serious* memory leaks in the Perl API
callback implementation routines. These have now been fixed. There
appears to be some memory issue in the Xerces-C SAX2 API (i.e. not
Perl related), but using the SAX1 API there appear to be no memory
issues. There were also other minor leak issues which I am still in
the process of clearing up.

You can get it from the normal location:

http://xml.apache.org/dist/xerces-p/stable/

jas.

>From the Changes file:

        - MAJOR MEMORY FIX: All callbacks were leaking memory like a
          sieve. This was especially noticeable with SAX 1/2
          interfaces when parsing large (~200Mb) files. It appears
          that the Xerces-C SAX2 implementation still has leaks
          somewhere, but SAX1 seems fine now.
