PsychoPath 1.1M4 a Java 5 (1.5) or greater XPath 2.0 Schema Aware
processor is now available for download.

It is packaged in two forms as standalone jar and as part of an eclipse
P2 update site.  It does depend on java_cup and xerces-j (for xml schema
support).

PsychoPath is also included in the latest WTP 3.2 Milestone 4 build as 
well.  Information on obtaining the latest milestone can be found in the 
Getting Started section of the user manual.

PsychoPath now has a pass rating of 99.8% of the W3C XPath 2.0 portion
of the XQuery Test suite. It is fully schema aware including the ability
to handle user defined data types.   There are about 12 tests left to go
to bring it into full compliance with the test suite.

New in 1.1M4:

* This version also works with with any DOM Level 3 implementation.  If 
it can not obtain the PSVI it will default to non-schemawareness mode. 
It has been tested with both the Xerces-J DOM and the eclipse Web Tools 
Platform's DOM implementation.

* Enhancements to the test suite coverage for the core xpath 2.0 
functions and operators.  All functions and operators now have unit 
tests and are implemented.

* The build system for psychopath now makes use of FindBugs, and PMD 
static analysis.  All reports are published on the public build system 
for community review as well as all unit test results.
