31 Jul 2003 - Apache Xerces2 Java Parser 2.5.0 released

The Apache Xerces2 Java Parser team is very happy to announce that version 2.5.0 of Xerces2 Java Parser is now available.

This release provides a partial partial implementation of the XML Inclusions (XInclude) W3C Candidate Recommendation and also brings Xerces-J into compliance with the most recent work of the W3C DOM working group on DOM level 3 Core and Load/Save.

Specifically, the significant changes introduced in this release are:

  • Added annotation support to the XML Schema component model API implementation. Modified the PSVI API to allow exposing facets as objects. [Neil Graham, Elena Litani]
  • Added preliminary XInclude implementation, excluding support for XPointer and XML Base specifications. [Peter McCracken, Arun Yadav, Elena Litani]
  • Implemented the latest DOM Level 3 Core and Load and Save drafts in Last Call. [Elena Litani, Gopal Sharma, Arun Yadav, Neeraj Bajaj]
  • Modified PSVIWriter to output all PSVI information. Changed it to output to an XNI event stream rather than a file. [Peter McCracken, Neil Graham]
  • Modified error messages for Schema validation. [Peter McCracken, Sandy Gao]
  • Fixed an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException in the scanner caused by some invalid character references. [Michael Glavassevich]
  • Fixed various bugs related to XML 1.1. [Neil Graham, Neil Delima, Michael Glavassevich]
  • Fixed various bugs in the URI implementation, and added previously missing support for IPv6 addresses. [Michael Glavassevich]
  • Fixed performance issue for attributes with large value field. [Thomas DeWeese]
  • Fixed various bugs. [Neil Delima, Neil Graham, Elena Litani, Michael Glavassevich, K. Venugopal]
