[ANNOUNCE] Apache Xalan-J 2.7.1 is released

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

I'm pleased to announce that Xalan-j 2.7.1 is now (November 27, 2007)
available.
The previous release was 2.7.0, and became available on August 8, 2005.

The website for the release is at http://xalan.apache.org/ but you can
go to the usual link, http://xml.apache.org/xalan-j/downloads.html
and click on the "xalan-j distribution directory".

If you wish to download 2.7.1 please take care to
download files with 2_7_1 in their name.
It may take a few hours for the mirrors sites to update with the newer
2.7.1 files.

This release contains:
1) Support for DOM Level 3 serialization
2) Upgrade to Xerces-J 2.9.0
3) Bug fixes

Details are at http://xml.apache.org/xalan-j/readme.html

Of course thanks also go to all those who answered user's and developer's
questions, opened issues, and especially to those that supplied fixes.

For those that I forgot to mention, please accept my apologies.
