[XSL-LIST Mailing List Archive Home] [By Thread] [By Date] [Recent Entries] [Reply To This Message] Announcing SAXON 4.7
SAXON 4.7 is available at http://users.iclway.co.uk/mhkay/saxon/ This version implements the 8 October 1999 xslt and xpath specifications. Full conformance details, and information about changes since the previous version, are available on the site. Highlights are:- XSL features implemented for the first time: namespaces, xsl:import, xsl:apply-imports, xsl:output, numeric sorting, element extensibility, xsl:fallback, literal result element as stylesheet, disable-output-escaping. Other enhancements: control over output encoding, improved HTML generation, user-defined output handlers; improved diagnostics; new API for extension functions (modelled on the API in xt); a "preview mode" for handling documents too large to fit in memory; "SQL stylesheets" as an example of element extensibility (allowing data to be loaded into a relational database); a nodeset() function to convert a result tree fragment to a nodeset, making it available for further processing; integration with James Tauber's FOP processor. The SAXON XSL compiler has slipped behind in functionality, so I decided to leave it out of this release; in future I will probably release it independently of the interpreter. Several users have asked for a mailing list for SAXON queries and comments, so I have set one up at http://saxon.xsl.listbot.com/ As always, technical support is not guaranteed.
