Hi,

I am proud to announce a new version of XSpec, the XSLT and XQuery unit testing framework.  The main changes are:

- improved XQuery support     - delivered as an EXPath package     - new tests (of XSpec itself)     - numerous bug fixes     - new XProc harnesses for several processors     - improved shell scripts and Ant build file     - oXygen framework for editing     - RNC schema for Emacs nXML mode

You can download it, as usual, from the project website at:

http://code.google.com/p/xspec/downloads/

As BaseX supports the EXPath packaging system, you can just give it the XAR package contained in the release ZIP file.

New XProc pipeline "test harnesses" have developed.  They have been developed with XML Calabash, and allow you to run your tests on (in alphabetical order):

- BaseX (using the standalone processor)     - eXist (by sending the query through the REST interface)     - MarkLogic (by using Calabash's extension steps)     - Saxon, both XSLT and XQuery     - Zorba

As always, feedback welcome on this list.  Enjoy!

Thanks to the whole XSpec team!  Regards,
