Xerces-C++ 2.6.0 - released on September 29, 2004.

The Xerces-C++ team is currently working on plans for future releases. At present, we believe there will be a 3.0 release with new functionality targeted roughly at the second half of 2005. As a change in the major version allows us to break source compatibility, we are trying to take our time in order to break now what needs to be broken. There is some chance that changes breaking source compatibility will not be needed, and that "3.0" features will be released in the 2.x line.

Further releases in the 2.x line are anticipated concurrent with 3.0 development in order to fix issues or bugs in 2.6. Once 3.0 is released, we may also issue further 2.x releases as needed by the community.

Xerces-C++ 2.y.z - as needed to address bugs or other issues.

Xerces-C++ 3.0 - Targetted roughly for second half of 2005.

The following table lists the potential TODO items for Xerces-C++ 3.0. It does not include fixing bugs that are opened in Jira; unless such Jira bug involves a major development effort and requires an architectural redesign, or is an enhancement suggestion.

This list tracks current ideas and developer sign-up for 3.0 features. Some items on this list have no volunteer. Items that have no volunteer will receive no development attention and therefore will not become part of 3.0. If you would like to volunteer for these or other items please email the Xerces-C++ mailing list
