[ANNOUNCEMENT] Xerces-c 2_7_0 released

[David Cargill]

Hi All,
The Xerces-C team is pleased to announce that Xerces-C 2.7.0 is available.
Along with many bug fixes, the new features in this release are:
   Feature to not generate XML Schema annotations.  That is, not to add
   them to the grammar.  If you don't need annotations you may want to turn
   on this feature to avoid memory bloat for XML Schemas that use
   annotations heavily.
   Option to skip regenerating the XML Schema annotations when
   deserializing a grammar.  If you don't need annotations you may want to
   turn on this option to avoid memory bloat for XML Schemas that use
   annotations heavily.
   Feature to not perform default entity resolution.  When the
   entityResolver returns NULL, the parser does not try to resolve the
   entity externally.
   Feature to do schema-only validation even if there is a DTD.

The web site [1] has been updated earlier today and the release should be
available from all of the Apache mirrors within 24 hours; the list can be
accessed via the Xerces-C download page [2].
