Hi,

We have released XSD 2.3.1. This is a maintenance release containing
bug fixes, non-invasive new features, as well as ports to new platforms
and compilers. The NEWS file entries for this version are as follows:

  * The compiler is now capable of translating multiple schemas with
    one invocation.

  * New option, --sloc-limit, allows one to limit the amount of the
    generated code.

  * New option, --proprietary-license, instructs the compiler not to
    include the GPL banner in each generated file. Instead a short
    notice about a required proprietary license is generated. You
    should not use this option unless you have obtained a proprietary
    license from Code Synthesis Tools CC.

  * The default encoding for the 'char' character type is now UTF-8.
    To get the previous behavior (local code page via the Xerces-C++
    transcode functions) define the XSD_USE_LCP preprocessor macro
    when compiling your source code.

  C++/Tree

    * The --parts option has been improved to split generated code more
      evenly by analyzing the complexity of the generated schema constructs.

    * Ability to customize serialization, std::ostream, and binary
      insertion/extraction operators. See examples/cxx/tree/custom/wildcard
      for an example on how to handle XML Schema wildcards (xsd:any and
      xsd:anyAttribute) by customizing the parsing constructor and
      serialization operators.

    * Optimizations for the run-time memory consumption.

    * Optimizations for space in the generated code.

    * Number of bug fixes.

  C++/Parser

    * Proper handling of an xsd:any nested content. Nested elements,
      attributes, and text are reported via _any_* hooks of the current
      parser.

    * Number of bug fixes, mostly in the generated validation code.


This release adds support for Intel C++ 9.1 and IBM XL C++ 7.0 and
8.0 as well as for AIX on POWER/PowerPC and GNU/Linux on IA-64.

In addition, starting with this release, we provides a Windows
Installer (.msi) package for XSD which also includes precompiled
Xerces-C++ libraries for Visual Studio .NET 2003 (VC++ 7.1) and
Visual Studio 2005 (VC++ 8.0).
