Releases are infrequent. In addition to the general steps, the Windows solution and project files require creating for the supported versions of Visual Studio. Also, the project files at the time of writing have broken ICU support and require manual fixing; the ICU libraries are either missing entirely or the debug and release variants are mixed up. See the patch collection under packages/xalan/patches. Each patch will require re-diffing against the new release (see Regenerating patches), with the exception of the Windows VC patches, which need regenerating as follows:

• delete win-vc*.diff files under packages/xerces/patches

For each Visual Studio version:

• unpack the new xalan-c sources

• make a copy of the sources (xalan-c-nn.orig)

• make a second copy of the source (xalan-c-nn.vcmm)

• copy xalan-c-nn.vcmm/c/Projects/Win32/VC10/Xalan.sln to xalan-c-nn.vcmm/c/Projects/Win32/VCmm/Xalan.sln

• apply the following patch, shown here for VC11 but applies to all versions; if your version does not exist, make this change to the VC12 version:

• check for a supported set of project files under projects/Win32/VC<ver>; if a suitable version does not exist:

  • copy projects/Win32/VC12 (the latest at the time of writing) to projects/Win32/VC<ver>; make sure you applied the patch in the previous step beforehand
  • start the Visual Studio application
  • open projects/Win32/VC<ver>/xerces-all/xerces-all.sln, and allow Visual Studio to upgrade the projects to the current version
  • save the solution (you must Save As to overwrite the existing solution; Save is insufficient)

• create a diff with diff -urN xerces-c-nn.orig xerces-c-nn.vcmm > win-vcmm.diff

• copy the diff to packages/xerces/patches/

• ensure the patch is included in the series file
