Apache Xalan-C++ version 1.10 is a robust implementation of the W3C Recommendations for XSL Transformations (XSLT) and the XML Path Language (XPath). It works with a compatible release of the Xerces-C++ XML parser: Xerces-C++ version 2.7.0. The focus for this release is on bug fixes, pluggable memory management, and enhanced stability improvements in stylesheet execution.

This release inlcudes:

• Support for XML 1.1 and Namespaces in XML 1.1
• Improved and stabilized C pluggable memory management functionality
• Xalan XML serializer redesign for better performance ans stability
• performance fixes
• Upgrade from Xerces-C 2.6 to Xerces-C 2.7
• Support for IBM XLC 7.0 compiler on Linux.
• the usual bug fixes

New features in the version 2.7:

• Support for JAXP 1.3 (thanks to Sun for donating JAXP 1.3) including new default error handling behavior required as part of JAXP 1.3 support.
• Support for XML 1.1 in input XML documents, output XML documents and stylesheets themselves (previously only XML 1.0 was supported)
• Updates to the SQL extension an SQL samples to support the Apache Derby database.
• Support for alternate BSF (Bean Scripting Framework) implementations.
• The code that does the serialization (writes the output to a file) was separated into an independent serializer.jar that can be used to write out a DOM, or SAX events into a file, or stream of characters without dependencies on any XSLT processor. Perhaps in the future Xerces-J will use this serializer.
• Minor restructuring of the source and binary distributions.
• Various performance fixes, and memory leak fixes, and others. A full list is at http://xml.apache.org/xalan-j/readme.html
• Upgrade to Xerces-J 2.7.1 and a new version of xml-commons (xml-commons-external-1.3.02).

This is a part of an effort of the Apache XML Project to reduce the number of diseparate projects under its covers, with the hope that the smaller projects can provide more fine-tuned oversight and management of the codebases and communities, and is one of the major steps of the Apache XML Project to promote its projects upwards and become a federation, or a central information repository, of all the XML-related projects at the Apache Software Foundation.
