Today we release 4Suite XML 1.0 release candidate 3, now available from Sourceforge and ftp.4suite.org.
Please help us test 4Suite to ensure a high-quality 1.0 final release. 4Suite is split into three separate packages: 4Suite XML - XML, XPath, XSLT, related technologies and support libraries 4Suite RDF - RDF processing libraries and stand-alone DBMS 4Suite Repository - XML and RDF repository This is a release of only the first component. Highlights of changes in 4Suite XML since the last release -- * Python 2.5 support (tested on Python 2.5b3) * Improved packages, including support for generation of eggs * Integrated PEP 302 import hooks (zipimports) to better support third-party applications (setuptools, py2exe, cx_Freeze) * Add output and params arguments to Ft.Xml.Xslt.Transform * Implement all of EXSLT Dynamic module (dyn:map, dyn:max, dyn:min, dyn:sum and dyn:closure were missing) * Subclassed gettext support so that all Python versions support plural forms and loading of message catalogs as embedded data files. * Domlette node classes can now be subclassed * Add support for EntityResolver interface to Saxlette (primarily to satisfy Python's XMLFilterBase for SAX filters) * Add Ft.Xml.CreateInputSource convenience function * Add Ft.Xml.Sax.SaxPrinter, a SAX handler that uses a 4Suite printer to re-serialize from SAX events * Add C14N and exclusive C14N writers * Added support for xml:id * Add native getElementById() method to Domlette documents to allow for XPath's id() and XPointer's short-hand expressions. * Bug fixes, improvements to performance and documentation 4Suite XML is a comprehensive library for XML processing. It is implemented in Python and C and supports XML (SAX-like and DOM-like), XPath, XSLT, RELAX NG, XUpdate, XInclude, XPointer, and more.
