XML Calabash alpha28 released

Hi folks,

FYI: I just published alpha28:

https://docs.xmlcalabash.com/userguide/current/changelog.html#r300-alpha28

Highlights:

* I finally configured a Windows box to run the test suite. That turned up a few places where Windows filenames were causing problems and a couple of places where files were being left open. There’s still an unresolved issue with the relative-to option[1] but I’m not sure what to do about it.

* You can now use multiple threads when running a pipeline. If you’re pipeline has opportunities for parallelism, it should run faster. Details in the user guide.

* I improved error reporting, resolving the “(no message for error)” bug that Wendell observed the other day. I also significantly improved the error messages from p:xslt and p:xquery steps, I think.

* I’ve made some speculative improvements to the p:urify() function and am using it implicitly in a bunch of places. That also ought to improve behavior on Windows.

Share and enjoy. Let me know how it goes!

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
