[xsd-users] xsd 1.8.0 released

[Boris Kolpackov]

Good day,


We've released xsd 1.8.0. The NEWS file entries for this version
are as follows:

  * Moved to the build 0.2 series.

  cxx-tree

    * Support for default and fixed values in attributes. An optional
      attribute with a default or fixed value is mapped to the One
      cardinality class instead of the Optional cardinality class.

    * Mapping for base64Binary and hexBinary has improved. Now these
      types support a basic buffer abstraction and perform automatic
      encoding and decoding.

    * Internal names are protected. We've noticed (via bug reports) a
      wide use of internal names (name that start with _xsd_) in user
      code. This is not portable and instead you should use public
      names. To prevent this from happening in the future we've made
      all internal names protected.

  cxx-parser

    * Support for Expat as the underlying XML parser in addition to
      Xerces-C++. This allows one to use the C++/Parser mapping in
      memory-constrained environments such as embedded systems. To
      select Expat instead of Xerces-C++ (default) add
      '--xml-parser expat' to the command line. At the moment only
      'char' (UTF-8) is supported as the base character type when
      Expat is selected.

    * The invalid_instance exception has been renamed to parsing.

    * Generic error_handler interface has been added in addition
      to Xerces-C++-specific DOMErrorHandler. It allows you to
      handle parsing errors and warnings without having to deal
      with Xerces-C++ specifics.

    * The default error handling behavior has changed in parsing
      functions. Instead of printing errors and warnings to STDERR,
      the errors are now collected and thrown as part of the parsing
      exception.

    * In parsing functions, the name, namespace arguments order has
      been reversed to be consistent with the one used in parsing
      hooks.

With this version we also added support for the following C++ compilers:

  * Sun C++ 5.8 (Studio 11)
  * Microsoft Visual C++ 8 (Visual Studio 2005)
