I am very proud to announce the availability of the release candidate =
XML_Query2XML 1.5.0RC1.

Project home page: http://query2xml.sourceforge.net
PEAR project home page: http://pear.php.net/package/XML_Query2XML

Query2XML allows you to transform the records retrieved with one or more =
SQL SELECT queries
into XML data. Very simple to highly complex transformations are =
supported. It was written
with performance in mind and can handle large amounts of data. No XSLT =
needed.

This release candidate comes after extensive re-factoring:
* XML_Query2XML now does a lot of internal pre-processing
* this improves performance by at least 30%
* all exceptions now contain information that relates to the
  configuration option that caused the exception to be thrown
* caching is now deactivated by default as is not needed in
  most cases; see $options['sql_options']['cached']
* XML_Query2XML now comes with 1144 phpt unit tests
* Note: if 1.5.0RC1 does not cause any problems for early
  adopters (which I consider very unlikely) 1.5.0 will be
  released next weekend.=20
