Fwd: SAXON 5.0 is available
Yet another XSLT tool. It is free (Mozilla-style) and could be an interesting
thing to package. It would be specially useful to see if it works with a free
Java VM like Kaffe or if it can be compiled with gcj (XT works only with the
non-free JDK, so will probably have to move to contrib).

SAXON 5.0 is available at http://users.iclway.co.uk/mhkay/saxon/
This version is a complete implementation of XSLT 1.0 and XPath 1.0.
(If there are any parts of the spec it doesn't implement, then that's an
oversight and will be treated as a bug.)
Apart from full conformance, the new things in this release are:
- - a number of new extension functions
- intersection(), difference() and has-same-nodes() to compare node-sets
- line-number() and system-id() of the current node in the source document
- if(condition, then, else)
- - stylesheet chaining
- specify <saxon:output next-in-chain="phase2.xsl"> to send the output of
this stylesheet
to be the input to another stylesheet
- - user-definable numbering and collating sequences
- - internal improvements to node-set handling and sorting, which should
result in better performance when handling large node-sets, and should
certainly reduce the load on the garbage collector
Full details of changes are at
