In case your 1.01 package is based upon our 1.01 branch r1745, and your 
1.10 pre-release is based on our trunk top revision then I guarantee 
that absolutely no problems will arise :-) In fact I used all time since 
 the Enigma 1.00 development the Xerces 3.x trunk version and added 
Xerces 2.x support just for backward compatibility. All Windows versions 
of Enigma have always been based and distributed on Xerces 3.x versions! 
Thus it is very, very well tested.

BTW please check that the 1.10 prerelease package depends on "xdg-open". 
Please report X-desktop versions that do not properly open the homepage, 
documentation or folders of the auto levelpack or enigma.score.
