+<h3>Release notes for Xalan-Java 2.7.2</h3>
+    <p>
+      Xalan-Java 2.7.2 was released in April 2014.
+    </p>
+

+</p>
+<h4>Fix for CVE-2014-0107 insufficient secure processing</h4>
+      <p>
+        When using FEATURE_SECURE_PROCESSING ("http://javax.xml.XMLConstants/feature/secure-processing") on a TransformerFactory, the output properties:
+      </p>
+      <ul>
+        <li>{http://xml.apache.org/xalan}content-handler</li>
+        <li>{http://xml.apache.org/xalan}entities</li>
+        <li>{http://xml.apache.org/xslt}content-handler</li>
+        <li>{http://xml.apache.org/xslt}entities</li>
+      </ul>
+      <p>
+        should be ignored (see http://xml.apache.org/xalan-j/usagepatterns.html#outputprops)
+      </p>
+      <p>
+        These properties can be used to load an arbitrary class or access an arbitrary URL/resource so are problematic when secure processing is desired.
+      </p>
+      <p>      
+        <code>  
+          &lt;xsl:output xalan:content-handler="org.example.BadClass" ...
+        </code>   
+      </p>
+      <p>      
+        <code>  
+          &lt;xsl:output xalan:entities="http://example.org/reallyLargeFile.bin" ...
+        </code>   
+      </p>
+      <p>
+        These features could be used to load a class that had undesirable side-effects or to load a large file and exhaust memory, etc. 
+      </p>

+<h3>Release notes for Xalan-Java 2.7.1</h3>
+     <p>Xalan-Java 2.7.1 was released in August 2007.
+     </p>
+      <p>
+      The serializer now has support for DOM Level 3 serialization
+      (<a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-DOM-Level-3-LS-20040407/load-save.html#LS-LSSerializer">LSSerializer</a>)
+      for an XML parser. These changes are seen in the new class
+      <a href="apidocs/org/apache/xml/serializer/DOM3Serializer.html">
+      <code>org.apache.xml.serializer.DOM3Serializer</code>
+</a> 
+      and the new package
+      <code>org.apache.xml.serializer.dom3</code>
+      as well as a new method,       
+      <code>asDOM3Serializer()</code> on the older 
+      <a href="apidocs/org/apache/xml/serializer/Serializer.html">
+      <code>org.apache.xml.serializer.Serializer</code>
+</a> interface.
+      </p>
+      <p>
+      More details are in the javadoc of those classes and interfaces.
+      </p>
+
+    <p>    
+    The distributions contain upgraded versions of <code>xercesImpl.jar</code> 
+    (Xerces-J 2.9.0) and  <code>xml-apis.jar</code> (XML Commons External 1.3.04).
+    The distributions were tested with these versions of Xerces-J
+    and XML Commons External and are the recommended versions to use with
+    the release.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      <b>Important:</b> You may experience unpredictable anomalies
+      if your Xalan-Java and Xerces-Java builds are not in synch.
+    </p>
+
+   
+     <p>
+       Xalan-Java 2.7.1 contains the following functional enhancements, 
+       performance enhancements and bug fixes since 2.7.0:

+<h3>Release notes for Xalan-Java 2.7.0</h3>
+     <p>Xalan-Java 2.7.0 was released on August 8, 2005.
+     </p>
+     <p>Xalan-Java 2.7.0 contains the following functional enhancements, performance enhancements and 
+        bug fixes since 2.6.0.
+     </p>
+
+  <h5>Support for JAXP 1.3</h5>
+  <p>Support for JAXP 1.3 has been introduced in this release of Xalan-Java. JAXP 1.3
+  includes a new javax.xml.xpath package, which provides an object-model neutral
+  API for the evaluation of XPath expressions and access to the evaluation environment. 
+  Please refer to <a href="xpath_apis.html">Using the JAXP 1.3 XPath API</a> for details on how to 
+  use the new XPath API. You can also look at the code in the samples 
+  <a href="samples.html#applyxpathjaxp">ApplyXPathJAXP</a> , 
+  <a href="samples.html#xpathresolver">XPathResolver</a> and 
+  <a href="samples.html#extensionresolver">ExtensionFunctionResolver</a>.</p>
+  
+  <p>There are also a few new transformer features
+  in JAXP 1.3, as described in the following list:<br />
+<br />
+    <li>A new method 
+    <a href="apidocs/javax/xml/transform/TransformerFactory.html#setFeature(java.lang.String, boolean)">
+    TransformerFactory.setFeature(String name, boolean value)</a>
+</li>
+    <li>A new method <a href="apidocs/javax/xml/transform/Transformer.html#reset()">
+    Transformer.reset()</a>
+</li>
+    <li>A new nextSibling attribute is introduced for 
+    <a href="apidocs/javax/xml/transform/dom/DOMResult.html">DOMResult</a>, accessible 
+    by the constructors, getter and setter methods.</li>
+    <li>Support for the <a href="features.html#secureprocessing">secure processing feature</a>
+</li>
+</p>
+  
+  <h5>New default error handling behavior</h5>
+  The behavior of the default <a href="apidocs/javax/xml/transform/ErrorListener.html">ErrorListener</a>
+  was changed in this release of Xalan-Java, 
+  in order to conform with a clarification of the required behavior described by JAXP 1.3. 
+  If an application does not register its own ErrorListener, the default ErrorListener is 
+  used which reports all warnings and errors to System.err and does not throw any Exceptions. Applications 
+  are strongly encouraged to register and use ErrorListeners that insure proper behavior for warnings and errors. 
+  The default ErrorListener of the old Xalan-Java Interpretive processor throws exceptions on errors and fatal errors. If your
+  code expects exceptions to be thrown on errors and fatal errors, you have to set a customized ErrorListener on
+  TransformerFactory and/or Transformer. You can use 
+  <a href="apidocs/org/apache/xml/utils/DefaultErrorHandler.html">org.apache.xml.utils.DefaultErrorHandler</a>
+  as a sample ErrorListener implementation.
+  
+  <h5>Support for XML 1.1</h5>
+  <p>This release of Xalan-Java adds support for Namespaces in XML 1.1 and XML 1.1 output documents.
+     The processors: <br />
+<br />
+      <li> support C0 control characters </li>
+      <li> handle C1 control characters in a way that is consistent with the requirements of XML 1.1 </li>
+      <li> treat NEL (U+0085) and LSEP (U+2028) as end-of-line markers </li> 
+      <li> support <a href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3987.txt">Internationalized Resource Identifiers (IRIs)</a> </li>
+      <li> support the additional characters in NCNames and QNames permitted by XML 1.1 and Namespaces in XML 1.1 </li>
+</p>
+
+  <p>The processors do not undeclare namespaces other than the default namespace in serialized documents  Also, Full 
+     normalization is not supported.</p>
+  <p>An input document can be either XML 1.0 or XML 1.1.  Also, a stylesheet document can be either XML 1.0 or XML 1.1.  
+     A stylesheet document must conform to the XSLT 1.0 specifications.</p>
+  <p>Note that it is possible for a stylesheet module that is an XML 1.1 document to use constructs that cannot be 
+     serialized as part of a valid XML 1.0 document, and for a stylesheet module that is an XML 1.0 document to use 
+     constructs that cannot be serialized as part of a valid XML 1.1 document. For example, a stylesheet module that 
+     is an XML 1.1 document might contain a literal result element whose name contains characters that are not permitted 
+     as part of a QName in a document that conforms to Namespaces for XML 1.0. The user needs to ensure that the nodes 
+     created by the stylesheet can be serialized as part of a well-formed document of the required version of XML.</p>  
+  
+  <h5>Support for Alternative BSF Implementations</h5>
+  <p>Extensions written in Java are directly supported by Xalan-Java. For extensions written in languages other than 
+     Java, Xalan-Java uses the Bean Scripting Framework (BSF), an architecture for incorporating scripting into Java 
+     applications and applets, and an implementation of BSF must be available on the classpath.  In previous
+     releases, IBM's BSF implementation (<code>bsf.jar</code> from 2001) has been included in the Xalan-Java distribution.  
+     Some time ago IBM donated their BSF implementation to the <a href="http://jakarta.apache.org/bsf/index.html">
+     Apache Jakarta BSF</a> project. As of this release, 
+     the IBM <code>bsf.jar</code> is no longer included in the Xalan-Java distribution.  To use extensions written in 
+     languages other than Java, please download a version of Jakarta BSF and put it on your classpath. To use
+     a different BSF implementation, please refer to <a href="extensions.html#BSFManager">setting the BSFManager</a>.</p>
+  
+  <h5>New serializer.jar</h5>
+  <p>In this release of Xalan-Java the code related to serialization of output result trees has been pulled out of 
+     <code>xalan.jar</code> and moved into a new jar file, named <code>serializer.jar</code>.</p>
+  <p>The code in <code>serializer.jar</code> has been modified to have no build or runtime dependencies on the rest of the 
+     code in Xalan-Java, therefore, <code>serializer.jar</code> can be used in a stand-alone fashion through its public APIs. 
+     Although the code has been modified to create a stand-alone jar, the serializer public APIs have not changed
+     and the package names and classnames are the same as they were last release.</p>
+   
+
+   <p>Also the following:</p>
+
+     <ul>
+     <li>Updates to the SQL extension and SQL samples to support the Apache Derby database.</li>
+     <li>Minor restructuring of the source and binary distributions.</li>
+     <li>Various performance fixes.</li>
+     <li>Various memory leak fixes.</li>
+     <li>Upgrade to Xerces-J (2.7.1) and a new version of xml-commons (xml-commons-external-1.3.02).</li>

+<h3>Release notes for Xalan-Java 2.6.0</h3>
+     <p>Xalan-Java 2.6.0 was released on February 29, 2004 (a leap year!).
+     </p>
+     <p>Xalan-Java 2.6.0 contains the following functional enhancements, performance enhancements and 
+        bug fixes since 2.5.2:</p>
+     <ul>
+     <li>Improvement in translet initialization time.</li>
+     <li>Addition of a translet versioning mechanism.  If the translet version
+         detected by the XSLTC runtime is more recent than any supported by the
+         XSLTC runtime, an error will be reported.</li>
+     <li>Changes that allow XSLTC to use other DTM implementations.</li>
+     <li>Release notes for the XML Serializer.  The serializer will no longer put a newline after
+         the xml header tag unless indent="yes". See bugzilla 
+         <a href="http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=24304">24304</a>.</li>     
+     <li>Rename of Xalan Java's xalan:doc-cache-off processing instruction to 
+         xalan-doc-cache-off.  This change was necessary due to a recent
+         change in Xerces.  Xerces has started detecting the Namespace 
+         well-formedness rule that a processing instruction's PITarget must not contain 
+         a colon. The old-style PI (xalan:doc-cache-off) will be accepted provided that
+         the XML parser does not report it as an error.  See bugzilla 
+         <a href="http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=26217">26217</a>.</li>
+     <li>Enhancement to XSLTC's URIResolvers and the general mechanism to resolve relative URIs.
+         XSLTC is now compatible with Xalan Intepretive.</li>
+     <li>Addition of a TransformThread sample that demonstrates how to use different transformers
+         on different threads and in different modes.</li>
+     <li>Upgrade to Xerces-J (2.6.2) and a new version of xml-commons (xml-commons-external-1.2.01)</li>
+     <li>Elimination of "enum" as a name to allow compilation under JDK 1.5</li>   
+

+<h3>Release notes for Xalan-Java 2.5.0</h3>
+     <p>Xalan-Java 2.5.0 was released on April 16,2003.
+     </p>
+     <p>Xalan-Java 2.5.0 contains a variety of features, bug fixes and 
+        performance enhancements since 2.5.D1.</p>
+     <p>New features in Xalan-Java 2.5.0 include:
+        <ul>
+        <li>integration of the Document Table Model (DTM) with the XSLTC 
+            processor [Henry Zongaro, Morris Kwan] and </li>
+        <li>integration of the Xalan Interpretive and Xalan Compiled 
+            serializers into a common serializer [Brian Minchau].</li>  
+        </ul>    
+        These features have been driven by a need to get common behavior, 
+        improve maintainability, reduce duplication of effort for future work, 
+        and in some cases improve performance and conformance.</p>
+     <p>Refer to <a href="whatsnew.html">What's New</a> for a description of the new function 
+        and <a href="history.html">History of software changes</a> for a list of the various 
+        bug fixes and other enhancements in this release.</p>

+<h3>Release notes for Xalan-Java 2.4.1</h3>
+     <p>Xalan-Java 2.4.1 was released on October 31, 2002 (Halloween!).
+     </p>
+     <ul>
+      <li>Performance fixes and enhancements to address the degradation of performance between Xalan-Java
+      version 2.3.1 and Xalan-Java 2.4.0.</li>
+      <li>A prototype implementation of the <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2002/WD-DOM-Level-3-XPath-20020328/">DOM Level 3 XPath Specification</a>. 
+          The implementation is considered 'experimental' at this time due to the status of the specification.
+          See the new sample, <a href="samples.html#applyxpathdom">ApplyXPathDOM</a> for an
+          example of how to use this API.</li>
+     <li>Extension changes and enhancements:</li>
+      <ul>
+        <li>Implement canonical namespaces for all Xalan extensions. All extensions
+        now use namespaces starting with <code>http://xml.apache.org/xalan</code>. The old namespaces are
+        still supported for backward compatibility. See the updated 
+        <a href="extensionslib.html#intro">extensions</a> documentation for details.</li>
+        <li>Added new EXSLT extension functions, including the EXSLT dynamic extension functions 
+        max, min, sum, map, evaluate and closure, the EXSLT strings extension functions align, 
+        concat, padding, split and tokenize, and some new extension functions in the math module.</li>
+        <li>Reorganized the extension functions for new EXSLT extensions.
+     The implementation of some extension functions (intersection, difference, distinct, 
+     evaluate and tokenize) are moved from the main Extensions class to the corresponding EXSLT modules.</li>
+        <li>Enable the EXSLT extensions for XSLTC. The EXSLT common, math, sets, dates-and-times and strings
+        modules can be used in XSLTC.</li>
+        <li>Integration of the nodeset and redirect extension for XSLTC. You can now use Xalan namespaces for
+        these extensions in XSLTC.</li>
+        <li>Enhancement in Java extenion for XSLTC. Three namespace formats (Java, package and class) can all
+        be used in XSLTC. More type conversion rules are added as well.</li>
+      </ul>
+      <li>Enable support for invoking transformations using the Xalan compiler (XSLTC) via the 
+     Xalan interpretive Process command line.  Specifically, the -XSLTC option was added.  The 
+     -TT, -TG, -TS, -TTC, -QC, -L, -INCREMENTAL, -NOOPTIMIZE and -RL option do not work in XSLTC mode.  All
+     other existing options can be used with -XSLTC.  Additional options were added to enable XSLTC compile
+     and transform modes: -XO, -XD, -XJ, -XP, -XN, -XX, -XT.  See the Process usage statement for more
+     information on these options.</li>
+     <li>Fixed SQL Extension problem where a query that returned zero rows would incorrectly
+      return a JDBC exception.</li>
+     <li>Fixed a limitation for XPath expressions. The token queue and operations map can now grow
+      to accomodate really large XPath expressions.</li>
+     <li>Fixes for the following bugzilla defects:

+     <li>Xalan-Java now uses a list of supported encodings in a properties file 
+     (org.apache.xml.serializer.Encodings.properties). Fixes Bugzilla 6356. Patch from Sergey Ushakov. </li>     
+     <li>Support for the <a href="http://www.exslt.org/">EXSLT</a> function and result elements, and EXSLT 
+     date-and-time functions.</li>
+     <li>Improvements to the extensions mechanism to more efficiently handle the detection and analysis of extensions 
+     during the stylesheet "composition" process, and the generation of the required extension handlers during 
+     initialization of the transformation process.</li>
+     <li>Performance improvement.  Instead of looping through the ExtendedType objects, use a hashtable and go
+     directly to the correct object.</li>
+     <li>Separation of source and messages.  Messages have been moved into property files for easier localization.</li>
+     <li>XSLTC version upgraded from 1.0 to 1.2.</li>
+     <li>Support for and bundling of Xerces Java 2.1.</li>
+     <li>Support for and bundling of <code>xml-apis.jar</code> from the RIVERCOURT1 branch of xml-commons.  This version of the Java
+     APIs for XML Processing successfully passes the JAXP 1.1 and JAXP 1.2 TCKs.</li>

+<h3>Other points of interest</h3>
+     <ul>
+     <li>Xalan Java 2 is integrated with release 2 of Xerces-Java. Xalan-Java Version 2.7.2 does not include support for the deprecated Xalan-Java 1 compatability API. 
+     The Xalan-Java 1 compatability code does NOT compile with Xerces-Java 2.<br />
+<br />
+</li>
+     <li>The <a href="samples.html#sql">SQL extension samples</a> continue to use InstantDB, but based on our realization of changes 
+     that have occurred in the licensing of InstantDB, we no longer include InstantDB and the associated sample database with our distibution.
+     We do, however, provide information on how to <a href="samples.html#instantdbsetup">set up InstantDB</a> to support our SQL 
+     extension samples.<br />
+<br />
+</li>
+     <li>Documentation updates: We have subdivided the release notes into multiple files to accelerate HTML document loading, and we have added a
+     document on <a href="features.html">Transform features</a>.<br />
+<br />
+</li>
+     <li>If an attempt is made to coerce a different namespace onto a prefix already in use in xsl:attribute, the attribute will come out 
+     in the wrong namespace. Workaround: either provide an NCName instead of a QName for the attribute, or provide a QName with a prefix not
+     used elsewhere.<br />
+<br />
+</li>
+     <li>Handling xsl:namespace-alias declarations: In release 2.0.D01, we reported the need to do some research concerning exactly how Xalan
+     should handle xsl:namespace-alias declarations. As a result of discussions among members of the W3C Working Group on XSL, we have reached a
+     more precise consensus on how namespaces should be represented when an xsl:namespace-alias declaration is in effect.<br />
+<br />
+     If a literal result element has a namespace prefix, the prefix will be preserved and the namespace URI of the element will be as
+     specified in the xsl:namespace-alias element, but the result-prefix is not required to appear in the result. This also applies to the
+     two other cases of "Literal namespace URI" mentioned in the XSLT Recommendation on 
+     <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#literal-result-element">Literal Result Elements</a>. More simply, if the stylesheet calls for
+     &lt;axsl:foo&gt; to be output as a literal result element, then it will be output as &lt;axsl:foo&gt; in the result, but the namespace
+     associated with this "axsl" prefix will be as designated in the xsl:namespace-alias declaration.<br />
+<br />
+</li>
+     <li>For HTML output, Xalan-Java 2 outputs character entity references (&amp;copy; etc.) for the special characters designated in  
+     <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/#dtds">Appendix A. DTDs of the XHTML 1.0: The Extensible HyperText Markup
+     Language</a>. Xalan-Java 1.x, on the other hand, outputs literal characters for some of these special characters.<br />
+<br />
+</li>
+     <li>In conformance with the <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#section-HTML-Output-Method">XSLT Recommendation on the HTML 
+     Output Method</a> and <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/appendix/notes.html#h-B.2.1">Section B.2.1 of the HTML 4.0
+     Recommendation</a>, Xalan-Java 2 uses %hh encoding for each byte of the UTF-8 representation of non-ASCII characters in HTML URI
+     attributes.<br />
+<br />
+</li>
+     <li>When your stylesheet asks for an explicit carriage-return character (&amp;#13;) to be inserted into the output, it is output during
+     the serialization process in escaped form unless escaping has been disabled.  When your stylesheet asks for an explicit line-feed character
+     (&amp;#10;) to be output, the system-default line-break character(s) is/are output during the serialization process.  Also keep in mind that
+     the XML parser normalizes line-breaks to line-feeds when it sends character events to the processor.<br />
+<br />
+</li>
+     <li>If your XML input is a DOM, use the javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory setCoalescing() method to set coalescing to true (it is
+     false by default), if you want to append CDATA sections to adjacent text sections to form a single text node (as the XPath standard calls
+      for), and if the XML parser supports this feature (Xerces-Java 2.11.0 does not).<br />
+<br />
+</li>
+     <li>When you traverse the namespace axis for a collection of element nodes, Xalan-Java includes <b>one</b> namespace node for each namespace in scope 
+     for one or more of the nodes in that collection. The XPath expression does not return additional (redundant) namespace nodes for each element
+     for which the namespace nodes are in scope.<br />
+<br />
+</li>
+     <li>See <a href="http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2291">Bugzilla bug 2291</a> for a discussion of issues surrounding
+     use of the default character encoding to read META-INF/Services.<br />
+<br />
+</li>
+     <li>As <a href="http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1800">Bugzilla bug 1800</a> reports, the Transformer does not get the 
+     setTransformState event until after the startDocument event. This could present a problem for tools developers, and we do intend to fix this 
+     bug.</li>
