W3C parser applet released!

20051109

Given up waiting for the W3C Test Applet to be finally released: This page updated.

20051107 (unreleased)

Update EBNF comments in xq2xsl to EBNF from CR draft. Results in some templates being re-ordered.

Document the new location for the XQuery parser applet distribution.

20051103 (unreleased)

Update to Test Suite 0.8, change test harness for XSLT so that Text Comparison is treated as Fragment (after clarification on bugzilla).

Update to Saxon 8.6: This allows me to get rid of all use of the 2005/04 namespaces.

20051030 (unreleased)

Major restructuring for November parser which uses look ahead rather than long tokens to disambiguate the Grammar productions.

Many internal production names changed, and productions that previously reported long tokens (typically a QName adjoined with some white space and punctuation character) now report just the QName. Some other restructuring of the parser output have taken place, for example ForClause is now explictly reported (rather than being implied by the reporting of the range variable.) This results in a simpler stylesheet, but many changes, and this release no longer works with older versions of the parser applet.

The xq2xml class has been cleaned up by Scott, and renamed to Xq2xml and included in the main xquery.jar. This means that the xq namespace used for saxon extension functions is now java:Xq2xml rather than java:xq2xml, and a separate xq2xml.jar file is no longer distributed or required.

The standard xquery parser applet now includes a built in XQuery to XQueryX convertor, so in some ways xq2xqx is redundant, however I continue to support it as a) I think it is useful to have a more declarative description of the mapping between XQuery and XQueryX than Java code, b) Xq2xml was there first, and it's a shame to throw it away, c) There's no harm in giving people a choice. (A third XQuery to XQueryX converter is also in use, and is being used by the XQuery Test suite team to generate XQueryX versions of the test files.)

20051020

Update to test suite 0.7 (small changes to driver files required)

Fix to stable order by (XQX)

Regenerate the XQX zip file to have xq2xqx generated files rather than the files included in the 0.7 test suite release.

20051012

Remove generation of xqx:boundarySpaceDecl (for bugzilla #2288)(XQX)

Separate out attributes and namespace declarations (for bugzilla #2260)(XQX)

Add error parameter to xq2xqx stylesheet and use this in xq2xqxtest so that if the generated xqx needs to call error() it uses a Qname specifying the expected error. (XQX)

20051003

Support redeclaring and undeclaring predefined namespaces (XSLT)

20050928

Document handling of options and extensions (XSLT)

20050927

Make .. expand to (the equivalent of) parent::node() not parent::* (XQX)

don't discard option declarations (XSLT)

Fix typo in match patterns for preceding-sibling axis (XSLT)

Fix multiple variables in quantified expression (XQX and XSLT).
