Men det er det eneste jeg er stødt på hvor jeg ikke enten har et godt alternativ eller hvor det var fuldt understøttet. Havde dog lige et libxml2 issue med virtualbox (hedder nu libxml2-16 og det ødelagde dependencies) men det var dog løsbart.

You can tell because LIBXML2 IS UNMAINTAINED. Because tons of Java-based XML gizmos are basically dead. Cocoon? I have a BOOK on Cocoon somewhere around here. It is dead and gone.

And it now officially has *no maintainer.* libxml2. I remember the heady days when XML was new. I've watched the whole thing from the days SGML. So let me say the quiet part out loud. XML really didn't win. "Well, but . . ." I know. I'm still right. And you know how you can tell?

And then I read this today about libxml2 (in their README): "This is open-source software written by hobbyists, maintained by a single volunteer, badly tested, written in a memory-unsafe language and full of security bugs. It is foolish to use this software to process untrusted data."

Libxml2 Becomes Officially Unmaintained After Maintainer Steps Down Libxml2 is now officially unmaintained after its long-time maintainer stepped down, leaving the widely used XML library without active development.

Every oss project should plan its own obsolescence. Libxml2 had a good run. Let's pay our respects and work on the solutions of the future.
