The Apache XML Project has released version 2.5.0 of Xerces-C, the popular open source parser written in C++. This is primarily a bug fix release.

Andy Clark has posted version 0.9 of his CyberNeko Tools HTML Parser for the Xerces Native Interface (NekoXNI). CyberNeko is writen in Java. Besides the HTML parser, CyberNeko includes a DTD parser, a generic XML pull parser, a RELAX NG validator, and a DTD to XML converter. This release adds

• Namespace processing
• CDATA scanning
• Settings to add or override namespace bindings
• Settings to add or override doctype declaration
• Filter to "purify" input to produce well-formed XML

It also fixes a few bugs.
