[xsd-users] plans for xsd 1.8.0

[Boris Kolpackov]

Good day,

We are planning to make the following user-visible changes in xsd 1.8.0
which is to be released around Jan 16. Your feedback on the proposed
changes/new features is always appreciated.

    * Support for new C++ compilers: Microsoft Visual C++ 8 (Visual
      Studio 2005) and Sun C++ 5.8 (Studio 11).

  cxx-tree

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

  cxx-parser

    * Support for Expat as an underlying XML parser in addition to
      Xerces-C++. This will allow one to use the C++/Parser mapping
      in memory-constrained environments such as embedded systems.

    * New error handling mechanism (similar to the one added to the
      C++/Tree mapping in version 1.7.0). Major changes will include
      generic error_handler interface in addition to native
      xercesc::ErrorHandler and propagation of parsing errors via C++
      exceptions rather than printing to STDERR.

hth,
