XML News from Tuesday, February 3, 2004

Release early and release often. Wolfgang Hoschek uncovered a nasty bug in the new Verifier code that prevented it from working in multi-classloader environments such as servlet containers, so I've posted XOM 1.0d24 to fix the problem. So far the fix has only been tested in Tomcat 4, but it seems to work. I also took the opportunity to fix bugs that were causing a couple of test cases to fail on Windows, fixed a bad bug in the FibonacciServlet sample that was failing to add child elements to the root element, and improved the API documentation for several classes. The API is unchanged since yesterday. XOM is still in last call. Discussion takes place on the xom-interest mailing list. You don't have to subscribe to post, though I do moderate non-subscribers for spam control.


Ranchero has released version 1.0.8 of the NetNewsWire and NetNewsWire Lite RSS readers for Mac OS X. Version 1.0.8 adds confirmation for quick-subscribing and fixessome bugs. NetNewswire is $39.95. The Lite version is free beer.
