Almost none, this is true.  Unfortunately.

When I joined XMLunit a bit more than a year ago my first priority was
to get the reported bugs fixed - and there simply wasn't a single
issue raised againt the .NET version.

A 0.3.1 release that would make XMLUnit.NET compatible with more
recent frameworks (both .NET and NUnit) was on my list, but then I
realized it worked with MS .NET 2.0 and NUnit 2.2 so it slipped.

Incidently I've been contacted off-list and was asked for a version
that supported NUnit 2.4 - apparently XMLUnit.NET 0.3 doesn't.  I know
I fixed a few deprecation warnings in svn and would be interested to
know whether this would fix the NUnit 2.4 issue - but I'm stuck with
2.2 right now and don't have the cycles to test it myself.

Solid in the sense that it passes its own testsuite and that no issues
have ever been raised against it.  This may as well be a sign for a
complete lack of users.

It is completely undocumented and is lagging behind on features
heavily.

Since I was thinking about some major API redesign I intend(ed) to
develop both platform versions in parallel.  Unfortunately all my
plans were burried under other things to do, so there is nothing to
see, yet.

That being said, I'd welcome any contribution to the .NET version as
well as the Java version.  Be it design discussions, bug reports,
fixes, patches, documentation, moral support or anything else ...
