Couple of things directly out of my mind even if more library than core language oriented are YAML support and the new proposal for convenient HTTP client functions. I remember a proposal by you, Christian, together with Adam maybe?

Please make sure to keep me in the loop. I will need to keep xqDoc up to date.

I don't know how many implementers we have on this list, outside of Christian and co., but thought you all might find it interesting.
Everyone: raise your hands and get involved ;)
Michael’s initiative to push for a new version of XQuery, XPath & co. is very promising indeed. If you are interested in sharing your ideas which features you would like to see in a new version: Now may still be a good time for it!
PS I found this announcement on the XML.com Slack channel, fyi.
[1] Mike Kay's post from Slack: I've been working on fleshing out my ideas for XSLT/XPath 4.0, based on my XML Prague paper earlier this year. I'm hoping to gather together a community group of some kind to take this forward; meanwhile I've published a very preliminary set of drafts: XSLT: https://www.saxonica.com/qt4specs/XT/Overview-diff.html F&O: https://www.saxonica.com/qt4specs/FO/Overview-diff.html XPath: https://www.saxonica.com/qt4specs/XP/xpath-40-diff.html XQuery: https://www.saxonica.com/qt4specs/XQ/xquery-40-diff.html Preparing for the rotten tomatoes: let me know what you think and whether you want to participate. NOTE: each document has a summary of changes at the end. It's probably best to go there first.
