[Piccolo] Piccolo 1.03 released

[Yuval O. <yu...@bl...>]

Hi folks,

I've made available another bug-fix release of Piccolo. It corrects the
following bugs:

* Turning string interning off would throw the wrong exception

* setLocale() did not throw an exception when set to non-English locales
(SAX1)

* Setting the default namespace within an element already declaring
  a default namespace would cause errors.

* The ValidatingSAXParserFactory property could not be specified in
  jaxp.properties

This last fix relates to a cool feature that lets you use Piccolo but not
have to switch settings when you need to create a validating parser. See the
JAXP section in http://piccolo.sourceforge.net/using.html for more
information.

Piccolo can be downloaded from http://piccolo.sourceforge.net.

[Piccolo] Version 1.02 released

[Yuval O. <yu...@bl...>]

Hello Piccolo users!

Version 1.02 of Piccolo is now released. This is a maintenance release,
correcting bugs mostly related to error handling. Performance has been very
slightly improved (around 1%). I've also placed all the source code into
SourceForge CVS for easier access.

Here is a summary of the changes:

-----
* If an EntityResolver is registered, it is now correctly called.

* ContentHandler.skippedEntity() is no longer called within attribute
values.

* ContentHandler.endDocument() is now called when a fatal error occurs.

* If an error handler is not registered, fatal errors will throw
  a SAXParseException.

* LexicalHandler.startEntity() is called before the entity is resolved.

* A bug that sometimes caused root tag attributes to be ignored was fixed.

* Very large CDATA sections are handled more efficiently.

* Build and packaging scripts have been enhanced.

Thanks!
