[REPORT] Apache Xalan - February 2008

[Brian Minchau <mi...@ca.ibm.com>]

This is the report to the Apache Software Foundation from the
Apache Xalan project for the meeting February 20, 2008.

- Brian Minchau
  Apache Xalan PMC Chairperson

Xalan-C
=======
Nothing to report.


Xalan-J
=======

Xalan-J 2.7.1 was released on November 27, 2007
This release contains:
1) Support for DOM Level 3 serialization
2) Upgrade to Xerces-J 2.9.0
3) Bug fixes

The user community has noted that the Xalan-J 2.7.1
distribution contains a back level release of
Xerces-J.  Xerces-J 2.9.1 became available on
September 15, 2007.  The level of Apache BCEL is
also downlevel at 5.1. Version 5.2 was released
in June of 2006.

These two will be upgraded in the next release.

Although not discussed by the PMC, I am not aware
of any cryptographic code in the Apache Xalan
distributions. The PMC will visit this issue before
the next board meeting.
