The old version switcheroonie.

[Peter Murphy <pe...@fast.fujitsu.com.au>]

All,

When possible, I use the latest version of Xalan C++ in my development, and
then the latest version of Xerces C++ that _I think is compatible with it_.
At the moment it's Xerces C++ 1.6 and Xalan C++ 1.3. However, there come
times when the Xerces team issue a new version: such as now. The new version
(1.7) is supposed to be faster, with the use of a new IDOM model. I would
love to use it, but I don't want to break compatibility with Xalan.

In situations like this, what should a developer like myself I do? Wait for
a new version of Xalan to come out that's _compatible_ with the new version
of Xerces? Or go for the latest Xerces version and assume it's compatible? I
think I've asked these sort of questions before, and I don't want to bore
people by repeatedly asking the same thing.

Regards,
Peter.
