I have a project to validate XML files according to XSD specs:

  • It should run from Windows command line
  • Validation errors should be saved to a file for later review

XMLLint looks like the perfect candidate. It does all of the above. However, this particular branch (ftp://xmlsoft.org/libxml2/win32/64bit/) hasn't been updated since 2015.

Given the age, is this safe to rely on for the next few years? If not, is there an alternative that meets the above requirements?

Had the same question. After some creative googling, I found the project is still active on GitLab.

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libxml2

Binaries for a variety of platforms are built using the GitLab CI pipeline. For example, I was able to get a current Windows build here:

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libxml2/-/jobs/1236352/artifacts/browse

Download the ZIP. The .exe files are in the bin folder. Linux binaries are available as well from the corresponding build jobs.
