It is a service release improving usability and fixing some bugs:

• Improved error messages: A dynamic error (XD0030) is raised, if the namespace URI is not valid when creating an element or attribute (replaces an unspecific java exception wrap in c:error).
• Improved error message when an element/attribute with a prefix is created, but no namespace is associated with this prefix.
• Improved attribute creation with names in namespaces: Using existing prefixes if possible.
• Improved element creation with names in namespaces: Removing unnecessary prefixes. (Thanks to Gerrit for pointing this out.)
• Changed initialization process for XMLCatalog resolver: If this resolver is not used, resolver.jar is not required on the classpath anymore.

It is again a service update improving usability and fixing some bugs:

• Fixed ticket #8: Changed code so no null pointer exception is thrown anymore from JING during recursive schema import. Thanks to David for reporting.
• Fixed ticket #9: Copyright information are separated from pipeline result, so piping results to another app in unix systems is easier. Thanks to Christophe for pointing this out to me.
• Improved support for using Saxon in p:xslt. Features of Saxon PE and Saxon EE now are available in p:xslt. All editions of Saxon are now recognised, so you do not have to rename them anymore. Used Edition is now shown in copyright information.
• Improved error messages in p:unescape-markup.
• Reworked XProcSource: Pipelines and inputs can be build from a SAX- or a StreamSource now.
• Additional pipeline informations available in Java via XProcPipeline.getInfo().
• Checked with Saxon HE 9.7.0.15.

MorganaXProc 1.0.3 was released on 2017-01-28.

It is a service release fixing some bugs:

• Changed behaviour of p:validate-with-relax-ng: If necessary a base64 decoding is performed on a compact syntax loaded with p:data. Thanks to David for pointing this out to me!
• Fixed a bug where an inherited namespace is not correctly copied to an implicit inline document.
• Fixed a bug where pure whitespace nodes in XSLT stylesheets get lost.
• Fixed ticket#6: Top level c:directory of p:directory-list does now conform to specs.
• Fixed ticket#7: Full stop now allowed in step names and in port names. (Thanks to David for reporting these two bugs!)

- Fixed a bug where an „unconnected port“-error is raised, although there is a pipe connection in an p:xpath-context.
- Reworked handling of XMLReader's in p:unescape-markup: Better support for nu.validator. Use: „nu.validator.htmlparser.sax.HtmlParser“ for HTMLParserClass.
- Checked with Saxon HE 9.7.0.14.
- Fixed a bug resulting in a NullPointerException when the HTML parser class given in configuration is not found.

- See http://www.xml-project.com for details.

MorganaXProc 0.95-10 was released on 2016-05-31.

Hightlight of this release is the added support for XMLCatalog.
There are a lot of minor bugfixes.
See http://www.xml-project.com for details.

MorganaXProc 0.95-9 was released on 2016-01-17.

The basic new feature of this release is the implementation of "Other Proposed Steps": <pxp:nvdl />, <pxp:unzip />, <pxp:zip />, <pxp:compress />, <pxp:uncompress /> and <pxp:set-base-uri /> can be used in a pipeline by importing "http://exproc.org/proposed/steps". <pxp:compress /> and <pxp:uncompress /> support compression method "gzip" out of the box and is enhanceable using third party software. See documentation for details. Implementation of <pxp:nvdl /> needs third party software to be used.
With the implementation of these steps, MorganaXProc's implementation of XProc (1.0) is complete.... read more

MorganaXProc 0.95-8 was released on 2015-10-04

These are the basic new features:

• Functions from an XQuery module can be imported into the XPath context of XProc by using p:import,
• XPath functions written in Java can be imported into the XPath context of XProc,
• XProc steps written in Java can be imported into a pipeline using p:import,
• Dependencies between steps in the same subpipeline can be controlled with extension attribute depends-on,
• Proposed extension function pxf:cwd() is implemented.... read more

Again, this release contains just bug fixes:
- Fixes a bug which prevents access to context node in p:xslt when option „template-name“ is used.
- Changes interface „XSLTTemplate“ in XSLTConnector to cover this case.
- Fixes a bug when p:viewport has no p:viewport-source and there is no default readable port for p:viewport.
- Corrects error message when p:viewport matches document node and more than one element should replace it.

This is just a bug-fixing release:
- Fixed a bug that prevent p:pipeline to be used in the graphical user interface.
- Fixed a bug that lead to a null pointer exception when MorganaXProc is used from java application with unbound input ports.
- Improves error handling when a p:declare-step has just children 'p:variable'.

MorganaXProc 0.95-5 is basically a service release with some bug fixes and some internal changes of classes and interfaces to prepare for XProc 2.0.

New features:

• Support for proposed file extension steps: All steps proposed on EXProc.org are now implemented. Additionally <pxf:tempdir/> is also implemented. To use these steps in your pipeline, import their namespace uri "http://exproc.org/proposed/steps/file".
  All steps are implemented as recommended for uri scheme "file:". <pxf:info/> also works with schemes "http:" and "https:" and produces an additional attribute "content-type" in MorganaXProc's namespace for c:file and c:uri results.
• Support for proposed os utilities: <pos:info/>, <pos:cwd/> and <pos:env/> are implemented as proposed. To use them in your pipeline, please import their namespace uri " http://exproc.org/proposed/steps/os". <pos:info/> returns all listed properties.
• For your convenience you can import both extension libraries (and all to come in the future) by using uri "http://www.xml-project.com/morgana/exproc". The associated resource also contains a list of all currently implemented extension steps. The resource is not loaded by MorganaXProc, but is just used for documentation reasons.
• In line with the new file extension steps, MorganaXProcs security system was extended to give you control over the resources accessed and modified by a pipeline. "DELETE_RESOURCE" was added to the list of security relevant operations.

Bug fixes and minor improvements:

• Major speed improvement in XPath selections by optimizing node sequence sorting.
• Fixes a bug in port handling of declared or imported steps.
• Fixes a bug resulting in a ClassCastException when the result of p:xquery is not a valid xml document.
• Improved handling of attribute value templates. Removing a bug appearing when a single quote is in variable part.
• Fixes a bug in XPath when an external variable is bound to a sequence.
• Fixes a problem with SaxonXSLTConnector occurring when inline stylesheets are used and pipeline uri contains a blank.
• Fixes loading of steps via ExtensionPackages broken since Rel 0.9.5.4.
• Fixes a bug that prevents using Saxon and Xalan extensions on case sensitive file systems.

On the road to XProc 2.0:

All internal interfaces and classes related to options are now associated with their respective XDM type. At the moment, the only visible results are improved error messages (when an option is associated with a value not valid for the declared sequence type) and a more strict interpretation of valid string values for options declared as xs:boolean.

New features:

• Support for user defined XPath functions to XProc, XQueryConnector and XSLTConnector via XPathExtensionFunction.
• Improved usability of resolvers for XQuery, XSLT and XPath.
• Full access to XProcFilesystem from XQuery and XSLT.
• Finally module import in XQuery is implemented.
• New implementation for fn:collection(uri) in XPath and XQuery.
• Extension attributes as in "3.8 Extension attributes“ of "XProc: An XML Pipeline Language W3C Recommendation 11 May 2010“ are now supported.
• Improved error management: i.e. Description for XD???? and XC???? are now displayed in error document. ErrorCode is accessible via new method „getErrorCode“ from XProcOutput.
• Adapted to new versions of Saxon (9.6.0.4) and Apache’s HttpClient (4.4).
• EXPath Packaging System (EXPath Candidate Module 9 May 2012) is now supported.... read more
