-SAX 2.0 r2 prerelease
+SAX 2.0.1 (sax2r2)
+29-January-2002
 
-This is a prerelease of a bugfix release for SAX2, the second
-generation of the Simple API for XML.  For information, see
-docs/index.html.
+This is a bugfix release for SAX2, the second generation of the Simple
+API for XML.  Changes from the SAX 2.0 release can be summarized as:
 
-This release includes a simple test application in src/SAXTest.java.
+    - Numerous documentation improvements and clarifications.
+    - Bundling the optional "SAX2 Extensions 1.0" support.
+    - Bugfixes:
+	* Bugfixed classes include ParserAdapter, AttributesImpl
+	* Factory classes use the correct class loader (JDK 1.2 and later)
+	* Some exceptions were missing default constructors
+	* DefaultHandler was missing an exception spec
+	* Resetting handlers to their default values is legal
+    - Slightly less memory use in NamespaceSupport, AttributesImpl.
+    - Better configurability for the default XMLReader.
+    - NamespaceSupport enforces its declare-before-use constraint
 
-A build.xml file is included for users of Apache's ant build tool (a
-Java-based Makefile substitute).
+Other than bugfixes, the APIs have not been changed.  This is intended to
+be a drop-in replacement for the previous SAX2 release.  API-conformant
+code will not notice any differences.
 
+If you are using JDK 1.4, you should be able to copy "sax.jar" into
+the $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/endorsed directory to have it replace the older
+version of SAX2 that is distributed with that JVM.  If you're using
+JRE 1.4, that path won't include the "jre".
