Release notes for Xalan-Java 2.7.1  
        
    

Xalan-Java 2.7.1 was released in November 2007.

The serializer now has support for DOM Level 3 serialization (LSSerializer) for an XML parser. These changes are seen in the new class org.apache.xml.serializer.DOM3Serializer and the new package org.apache.xml.serializer.dom3 as well as a new method, asDOM3Serializer() on the older org.apache.xml.serializer.Serializer interface.

More details are in the javadoc of those classes and interfaces.

The distributions contain upgraded versions of xercesImpl.jar (Xerces-J 2.9.0) and xml-apis.jar (XML Commons External 1.3.04). The distributions were tested with these versions of Xerces-J and XML Commons External and are the recommended versions to use with the release.

Important: You may experience unpredictable anomalies if your Xalan-Java and Xerces-Java builds are not in synch.
