25 February 2005 - Apache XMLBeans 2.0.0-beta1, 1.0.4, and 1.0.4-jdk1.3 released
The Apache XMLBeans project is pleased to announce new releases of XMLBeans. The 2.0.0-beta1 release is a significant improvement from previous release and has been in development for about 10 months. The 1.0.4 release is a maintenance release focused on stability and bug fixes. The 1.0.4-jdk1.3 release is the first release of XMLBeans compatible with JDK 1.3.
Major goals of the 2.0.0-beta1 release:
- source backwards compatible
- improve usability of wildcards, substitution groups, error handling
- a native DOM level 2 API
- integration with Saxon xpath/xquery engine
- performance improvements
- instance to schema and schema to instance tools
For a comprehensive list of improvements, see the CHANGES.txt file in the distribution.
Goals for the next 2.0.0 release include fixing any remaining performance issues and bugs. Please take 2.0.0-beta1 for a spin and help us make the 2.0.0 GA rock solid.
