<h1>C++ Library Documentation</h1>
<a name="N1000D"></a><a name="Version+1.2+Released"></a>
<h2 class="h3">Version 1.2 Released</h2>
<div class="section">
<p>
The Apache XML Security team are proud to announce the release
of version 1.2 of the xml-security-c library. This is the first
version of the library to provide processing and handling of
<a class="external" href="http://www.w3.org/2001/XKMS/">XML Key Management
Specification (XKMS)</a> (currently XML Key Information Service
Specification - XKISS - only) messages together with a command
line client for performing XKMS requests and reading/dumping
XKMS messages.
</p>
<p>
The team were involved in <a class="external" href="http://www.w3c.org">World Wide
Web Consortium (w3c)</a> interoperability testing with
a reference XKMS server built using the xml-security-c library.
</p>
<p>
This version also includes a number of other changes and bugfixes,
including updates to support Xerces 2.6 with Xalan 1.9.
See <a href="../changes.html">changes.html</a> for more
information.

<h2 class="h3">Overview of the C++ Library</h2>
<div class="section">
<p>
The C++ library is an implementation of the XML Digital Signature
specification. It is designed to be easily ported to new platforms,
and has been tested on Solaris, Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD and Windows.
</p>
<p>
The library makes use of the Apache XML project's Xerces-C XML Parser
and Xalan-C XSLT processor. The latter is used for processing XPath
and XSLT transforms. The use of Xalan-C is optional, but without it,
XPath and XSLT transformations cannot be performed.
</p>
<p>
In addition, the library currently uses OpenSSL to provide
cryptographic functionality. The cryptographic interface is
implemented via a thin wrapper layer, and a development version of
an implementation for the Windows Cryptographic API has also been
implemented.

<h3 class="h4">News - March 2004</h3>
<p>
Version 1.1 of the C++ library has been released. Supporting
Xerces 2.5, 2.4 and 2.3 together with Xalan 1.6 and 1.7, this
version provides :
</p>
<ul>
<li>Beta implementation of XML Encryption</li>
<li>Improved support for Windows Crypto API</li>
<li>Bug fixes to Signature implementation</li>
</ul>
<a name="N10055"></a><a name="May+2003"></a>
<h3 class="h4">May 2003</h3>
<p>
Beta 0.2 has been released. It covers :
</p>
<ul>
<li>some minor bug-fixes in the code and the UNIX build system</li>
<li>a first cut at a Windows Crypto API provider interface</li>
<li>methods to extract information from signature objects; and</li>
<li>updates to tools to allow (and demonstrate) use of Windows CAPI
and new extraction methods</li>
</ul>
<p>
Beta 0.2 is has been tested with Xerces-C v2.2 and the newly
released Xalan-C v1.5.
</p>
<a name="N10071"></a><a name="February+2003"></a>
<h3 class="h4">February 2003</h3>
<p>
The C++ library has now been fully transferred into the Apache XML
project. It was previously hosted on SourceForge.
</p>
<p>
The first release under Apache is 0.10. This is a Beta release,
with fairly complete documentation, and a stable code base. It
fully validates the various interop documents held in the xml-security
CVS, with the exception of those related to :
</p>
<ul>
<li>MD5 Digests (to be added in next point release)</li>
<li>XPath Filter (to be added in next point release)</li>
<li>XML Encryption (to be added post 1.00 release)</li>
</ul>
<a name="N1008A"></a><a name="News+-+August+2003"></a>
<h3 class="h4">News - August 2003</h3>
<p>
Version 1.00 of the library has now been released. It features :
</p>
<ul>
<li>the first stable release</li>
<li>full implementation of all mandatory requirements of DSIG</li>
<li>implementation of canonicalised XML</li>
<li>implementation of exclusive-canonicalised XML</li>
<li>implementation of XPath-filter</li>
<li>FreeBSD, NetBSD and Cygwin builds</li>
</ul>
<p>
Version 1.00 is has been tested with Xerces-C v2.2 and the newly
released Xalan-C v1.6. Xerces-C v2.3 is also supported. Note that
versions of Xalan prior to v1.6 are not supported (due to the new
changed location of include files).
