[ANN] Xerces-C++ 2.8.0 released

[Boris Kolpackov <boris@codesynthesis.com>]

Hi,

I am pleased to announce the availability of Apache Xerces-C++ 2.8.0.
Xerces-C++ is an open-source validating XML parser written in a
portable subset of C++. It provides DOM (level 1, 2, and certain
parts of level 3), SAX, and SAX2 APIs and supports validation of
XML documents against DTD and XML Schema.

This release is primarily focused on bug fixes, optimizations and
build system improvements. For the complete list of changes in
this version see the release information page:

http://xerces.apache.org/xerces-c/releases.html

There is also a blog post that discusses some of the user-visible
changes in more detail:
