XML Query Test Suite version 1.0.1

The XML Query Working Group and the XSL Working Group would like to 
announce the availability of version 1.0.1 of the XML Query Test Suite 
(XQTS) at http://www.w3.org/XML/Query/test-suite/.

XQTS 1.0.1 fixes a small number of bugs reported against XQTS 1.0 and it 
reflects a small number of CR issues that have been resolved by the WGs. 
We encourage implementors that have sent us reports for XQTS 1.0 to run 
XQTS 1.0.1 and send us their final reports. The reports that we have 
received provide most of the implementation experience that we need to 
request a transition to Proposed Recommendation. We would appreciate a 
report showing an implementation of Minimal Conformance using the XQueryX 
syntax. 

To date, we have received the results for several implementations of 
XQuery: Saxon-SA, xq2xsl, X-Hive/DB, Qizx, DataDirect XQuery, Stylus 
Studio, Sedna XML Database System, xbird/open, and Galax. A report that 
reflects these results is available from our web page. We will update this 
report for the next couple of weeks as new results are received.

We will  maintain and enhance the test suite after our transition to 
Proposed Recommendation. We do not expect to send out any further 
announcements about our test suite -- any news or updates will be posted 
on our web page.
