XML Calabash progress

Hello again,

A few days ago, I proposed that alpha28 was much improved, especially on Windows. That was technically true, it was improved, but it was still more than a little janky. Shout out to Wendell for reporting the jankiness and a few other bugs.

I think alpha31 from yesterday offers further improvement on Windows. It also fixes a couple of quirks in p:os-exec.

In fact, it feels kind of “finished”. I managed to sort out the remaining problems I was having with p:import-functions. It now passes 100% of the test suite except for the tests that require XSLT 1.0 or XQuery 1.0 support. I’m just not gonna. (If you really need those, write yourself a my:xslt1 step that uses p:exec to run some 1.0 processor.)

Please kick the tires, excuse me, tyres, and report anything that looks wrong. If nothing calamitous is reported, I’ll be on track to get a couple of betas out this month and ship 3.0.0 before MarkupUK.

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
