<para xml:id="p1">The <citetitle><trademark>Java</trademark> API for XML
Processing (JAXP) 1.4</citetitle> is winding it's way through the
<link xlink:href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_Community_Process">Java
Community Process</link>. Earlier this week, we
<link xlink:href="http://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=206">released the
specification</link> for maintenance review. The review period closes
on 8 Feb 2006.</para>

<para xml:id="p2">On the JCP site, or through
<link xlink:href="https://jaxp-sources.dev.java.net/">JAXP Sources</link> area of
<link xlink:href="http://glassfish.dev.java.net/">Project Glassfish</link> on
<link xlink:href="http://java.net/">java.net</link>, you can find the
review specification and a summary of the API changes since
JAXP 1.3.</para>

<para xml:id="p3">The biggest change is support for
<link xlink:href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/StAX">StAX</link> Sources
and Results. We've fixed some bugs too, but I'm feeling rather
embarrassed at the moment about a couple that slipped through the cracks.
<foreignphrase>Mea culpa!</foreignphrase> :-)
