Hi all,

The Apache Xerces project team is pleased to announce that version 2.10=
.0
of Apache Xerces-J is now available.

Xerces-J 2.10.0 can be downloaded at: http://xerces.apache.org/mirrors.=
cgi:

This release introduces experimental support for the XML Schema 1.1
Structures and Datatypes (December 2009) Working Drafts (see
Xerces-J-bin.2.10.0-xml-schema-1.1-beta.zip). It also contains an
implementation of the parser related portions of JAXP 1.4, including
partial support for StAX 1.0 (javax.xml.stream.events only) and a compl=
ete
implementation of the DOM Element Traversal API. It contains fixes for
several bugs which were present in Xerces-J 2.9.1, as well as a few oth=
er
enhancements and performance improvements.

Specifically, the changes introduced in this release are:

* Added experimental support for XML Schema 1.1 (refer to the documenta=
tion
for a list of features supported). [Ken Cai, John Chan, Mukul Gandhi,
Hiranya Jayathilaka, Khaled Noaman, Kun Xu]

* Implemented enhancements to javax.xml.validation that were introduced=
 by
JAXP 1.4, including support for StAXSource/StAXResult as an input/outpu=
t to
the JAXP Validator, StreamResult as an output to the JAXP Validator and=

StAXSource as an input to the SchemaFactory. [Michael Glavassevich]

* Added support for the StAX 1.0 event API (javax.xml.stream.events).
[Michael Glavassevich, Lucian Holland]

* Added support for the Element Traversal API
(org.w3c.dom.ElementTraversal). [Michael Glavassevich]

* Implemented a property for starting schema assessment from a specific=

element declaration and enhanced the existing property for starting sch=
ema
assessment from a type definition to accept a javax.xml.namespace.QName=
 as
a value. [Michael Glavassevich]

* Added a property for specifying the locale to use when reporting erro=
r
and warning messages. [Michael Glavassevich]

* Added support for matching multi-digit back references in regular
expressions. [Khaled Noaman]

* Added a method to the ItemPSVI interface in the XML Schema API to exp=
ose
error messages corresponding to the error codes that were already avail=
able
in the PSVI. [Michael Glavassevich]

* Implemented native support for UTF-16. [Michael Glavassevich]

* Improved usability of the XML Schema API by updating XSNamedMap and a=
ll
of the list type interfaces to extend java.util.Map and java.util.List
respectively. [Michael Glavassevich]

* Improved performance by eliminating excessive calls to
XMLSchemaValidator.findSchemaGrammar() when processing local elements w=
ith
no namespace. [Michael Glavassevich]

* Improved recovery from schema loading errors. [Sandy Gao]

* Improved performance of Element.getBaseURI() when the depth of the no=
de
to the document root is longer. [Ludger B=FCnger]

* Implemented several improvements in the DOM implementation to help th=
e
garbage collector reclaim objects which are no longer reachable by the
application but were held on to strongly by the Document node. [Ludger
B=FCnger]

* Improved the messages reported for minOccurs/maxOccurs related schema=

validation errors. [Michael Glavassevich]

* Fixed problems with regular expression matching where the parser woul=
d
hang or cause a stack overflow exception. [Khaled Noaman]

* Fixed a problem where the LSParser repeatedly overwrote a text node c=
hild
of an element (rather than appending) when there are multiple text node=
s in
the input. [Michael Glavassevich]

* Fixed an infinite loop in XMLScanner which could allow remote attacke=
rs
to launch a denial of service attack (CVE-2009-2625). [Michael
Glavassevich]

* Fixed a bug in XSDateTime where getXMLGregorianCalendar() would lose
precision for fractional digits and insert time-zones where there are n=
one.
[Michael Glavassevich]

* Fixed a bug in the DOM implementation where a static text Node field =
in
AttrImpl broke thread-safety of mutations in independent documents from=

within an event listener. This was also a potential memory leak. [Ludge=
r
B=FCnger]

* Fixed a bug in the SoftReferenceSymbolTable which could cause it to g=
et
stuck in an infinite loop. [Anli Shundi]

* Fixed a bug which could cause an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException to be=

thrown when adopting a node from a deferred DOM. [Michael Glavassevich]=


* Fixed various bugs and made various improvements. [Nathan Beyer, Dave=

Brosius, Ludger B=FCnger, Arthur De Magalhaes, Mukul Gandhi, Sandy Gao,=

Michael Glavassevich, Khaled Noaman]
