Xerces-C++ 3.0.0 beta 1 released

[Boris Kolpackov <bo...@codesynthesis.com>]

Hi,

The first beta for the upcoming Xerces-C++ 3.0.0 release is
available for download:

http://people.apache.org/builds/xerces/c/

The purpose of this beta is to allow all interested parties to
test the new autotools-based build system on various platforms
as well as to make sure that no regressions have been introduced
compared to 2.8.0.

Below is the list of new features and improvements in 3.0.0 that
could serve as good reasons to upgrade from 2.8.0 and thus help
us test this beta:

 - Better build system (autotools) for UNIX/Linux platforms
 - Project files for VC 9
 - Support for the ICU transcoder in VC 7.1, 8, and 9 project files
 - libcurl-based net accessor
 - Support for XInclude
 - Support for a subset of XPath
 - Conformance to the final DOM Level 3 interface specification
 - Ability to provide custom DOM memory manager
 - Better 64-bit support
 - Cleaned up error messages
 - Better tested, including against W3C XML Schema test suite
 - Removal of the deprecated code

Some UNIX platforms (e.g., AIX, Solaris, etc.) may require extra
configure and/or make options which are listed on the following
page (these will be incorporated into the build instructions
before the final release):
