| <h2>The Apache Xalan Project</h2> |
| <p>We are proud to release version 2.7.2 of our Xalan Java project. This is |
| the first product distribution release of Xalan Java since Apache Xalan was |
| reformed in 2011. It also fixes a security issue reported against the |
| previous version. |
| </p> |
| <p>The Apache Xalan Project develops and maintains libraries and programs |
| that transform XML documents using XSLT standard stylesheets. Our |
| subprojects use the Java and C++ programing languages to implement |
| the XSLT libraries. |
| </p> |
| <p>The Apache Xalan Project was reformed in 2011. It started as a |
| subproject of Apache XML which has since been officially retired. |
| The Apache Xalan Project continues as a top-level project governed by the |
| Apache Software Foundation as a collaborative software development community |
| dedicated to providing robust, full-featured, commercial-quality, and |
| freely available XSLT support on a wide variety of platforms. |
| </p> |
| <p>The supported specifications are defined by the |
| <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt">W3C XSL Transformations (XSLT) |
| Version 1.0</a> and the <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath">XML Path Language (XPath) Version 1.0</a> |
| recommendations. |

| <h3>Apache Xalan Projects</h3> |
| <p>There are currently two subprojects under the Apache Xalan Project: |
| <a href="xalan-c/index.html">Xalan C++</a>, and |
| <a href="xalan-j/index.html">Xalan Java</a>, representing |
| C++ and Java implementations of the |
| <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt">W3C XSL Transformations (XSLT) |
| Version 1.0</a> and the |
| <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath">XML Path Language (XPath) Version 1.0</a> |
| recommendations. |
| </p> |
| <p>Both the Java and C++ development teams provide libraries and |
| executable programs to transform XML documents using XSLT stylesheets. |
| </p> |
| <p align="right" size="2"> |

| </p> |
| <h4>Xalan C++ Project</h4> |
| <p>The <a href="xalan-c/index.html">Xalan-C</a> project officially |
| released version 1.12 on the 7th June, 2020. The focus of this release |
| was stability and compatibility, fixing critical bugs and updating the |
| codebase to work with modern C++ standards and compilers, and adding a |
| CMake-based build to support all platforms with a single well-supported |
| build tool. The full changes are documented in the |
| <a href="xalan-c/releases.html">Release History</a>. |
| </p> |
| <p>Xalan-C 1.12 supports C++ development and has been successfully |
| tested on the following platforms:</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>FreeBSD-12 with LLVM 8</li> |
| <li>Linux and GCC 7.4 and GCC 9.3</li> |
| <li>MacOS and Xcode 9.4</li> |
| <li>Microsoft Visual Studio 2019</li> |
| <li>Microsoft Visual Studio 2017</li> |
| <li>Microsoft Visual Studio 2015</li> |
| </ul> |
| <p>Xalan-C should work on any platform supported by CMake with a |
| standard C++ compiler. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| Older releases are available on the |
| <a href="http://archive.apache.org/dist/xml/xalan-c">Apache Archives</a>. |

| </p> |
| <h4>Xalan Java Project</h4> |
| <p>The <a href="xalan-j/index.html">Xalan-Java 2.7.2</a> was released in April 2014. You can download the current release |
| the current <a href="http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/xalan/xalan-j/">Xalan-Java 2.7.2</a> release for your development. The |
| current work in progress can be found in the |
| <a href="http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/xalan/xalan-j/trunk/">subversion repository</a>. |
| </p> |
| <p>The current release fixes a security issue that was registered against version 2.7.1. |
| </p> |
| <p>The old <a href="old/xalan-j/index.html">Xalan-J 2.7.1</a> |
| distributions are still available on the |
| <a href="http://archive.apache.org/dist/xml/xalan-j">Apache Archives</a>. |
| </p> |
| <p>This is a mature project. There has been some discussion about supporting XPath-2. |
| We could use your support in this major rework of the library. |
| You can follow the efforts and post your own contributions |
| on the Java users and developers mail lists. |

| <h3>What is XSLT and XPath?</h3> |
| <p>XSLT is the first part of the |
| <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/xsl/">Extensible Stylesheet Language (XSL)</a>. |
| It includes the XSL Transformation (XSLT) vocabulary and |
| XPath, a language for addressing parts of XML documents. |
| XSL also includes a vocabulary for specifying formatting semantics, however, |
| this is not part of the Apache Xalan Project. For more information on formatting objects, see the |
| <a href="http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/">Apache XML Graphics (Formatting Objects Project)</a>. |
| </p> |
| <p>XSLT implementations, sometimes referred to as XSLT processors, use an XSL stylesheet to transform |
| XML documents into HTML, text, or other XML document types. |
| In structural terms, an XSL stylesheet |
| specifies the transformation of one tree of nodes (the XML input) |
| into another tree of nodes (the output or transformation result). |
