Hello, Alain, Congratulations on this milestone! I am very eager to try and test the new release. Is XSLTForms now using Fleur for XPath parsing? Does this mean that XPath 3.0 functions are now supported? I guess I can test this myself :)
It's quite amazing to see the xsltforms.xsl file down to just over 500 lines. Thanks again for all your work. Best regards, Tim -- Tim A.
