Change Request Summary

Thanks for all the interesting discussions on GXL and for submitting change requests. They will help us to improve GXL.
We have now started to include your change requests into the next GXL version (GXL 1.1). You can find the change requests on the GXL web site (http://www.gupro.de/GXL/changeRequest/changeRequest.html).
Summarizing these change requests, the base design of GXL proved to be sufficient, correct, and stable. Change requests deal with some XML related issues, supporting hierarchical graphs and adding some additional features. So, embedding these features will probably only extend GXL 1. We will try to avoid changing the things supported by GXL 1, but we can not promise it (e.g. change request "XLink-values" http://www.gupro.de/GXL/changeRequest/changeRequest.html#XLink values - here we might get rid of using XLink).

GXL 1.1

For the further development on GXL we have planned the following schedule:

August 1, 2002	Deadline for Change Requests
December 6, 2002	Release of GXL 1.1 alpha
January, 15, 2003	Request for Comments for GXL 1.1.alpha
February, 14, 2003	GXL's 2nd Birthday and Release of GXL 1.1

Thanks again, for supporting the development of GXL.
