Arundhati Bhowmick has announced Xerces-c
1.3.0 a new release including experimental
support for SAX2 and DOM Level 2.
This "much awaited release of Xerces-c 1.3.0 version"
is available both as source
and binaries (AIX, HP11, Linux, Solaris, Windows).
Bhowmick gives the following highlights for the release:
- Experimental versions of DOM Level 2 Range, Traversal
- Experimental version of SAX2
- Improved support for Entities in the DOM
- Bug fixes and performance improvements
The programming guide is cautious about SAX2 interoperability expectations though:
The SAX2 API for XML parsers was originally developed for Java. Please be aware that there
is no standard SAX2 API for C++, and that use of the Xerces-C SAX2 API does not guarantee
client code compatibility with other C++ XML parsers.
The release notes also mention many platform specific fixes (for HP-UX, OS/2, AS400, OS390, MSVC,
Borland, Mac OS, Solaris, Linux, ...).
