Quick note: new versions of Woodstox were released:

5.3.0 is a minor update, containing 1 bug fix (for https://github.com/FasterXML/woodstox/issues/58) and a new feature, support for JAXP feature needed for "secure processing", and used by some frameworks (https://github.com/FasterXML/woodstox/issues/61).

That update is recommended if you use earlier 5.x releases of `woodstox-core`, and are running on JDK 8 or earlier.

But there is also a pre-release (release candidate), version 6.0.0.pr2, which:

1. Shades MSV dependencies (that is, embeds classes from MSV)

2. Adds Java module information, used by JDK 9+0

The reason for release special pre-release is to give users chance to try to test things before official 6.0.0 release: especially since I do not yet deploy on JDK 11 or later myself.

I am hoping that those of you running on JDK 11 could help verify goodness (or lack thereof) of Woodstox 6.0.0.pr2, and let me know if there are issues to resolve.
