This makes XSL:P a hybrid between XSLT revisions but it's easier this way than to create two sets of examples that work with latest and oldest releases of XSLT. Hopefully XSLT will standardize soon.

  • update Improved the speed of PI searching by looking for first found PI instead of scanning the whole file. (SM)

  • update Changed the printing architecture. Now, you don't need to specify the type of formattation but the publishing system will understand it for you (based on processing instructions and the specified document type). (SM)
  • add Added white paper on the Cocoon 2 architecture for public review. (SM)
  • fix Fixed typos, added support for more detailed verbosity and fixed a path-parsing bug for win32 systems. (SM) Thanks to Paul O'Rorke.
