Subject: ANN: nxslt (.NET XSLT Command Line Utility) versions 1.6 and 2.0 Beta1
Newsgroups: microsoft.public.xml
I'm glad to announce versions 1.6 and 2.0Beta1 of the nxslt - free feature-rich .NET XSLT command line utility.
nxslt 1.6 is the next version for the .NET 1.X Frameworks. New features include optionality for source XML or stylesheet, pretty printing, ASCII only escaped output and support for "omit-xml-declaration" attribute of the exsl:document extension element. More info at http://www.xmllab.net/Products/nxslt/tabid/62/Default.aspx
nxslt 2.0 Beta1 is the first beta version of the next major nxslt release. nxslt 2.0 uses new XSLT 1.0 processor in the .NET 2.0 Framework- System.Xml.Xsl.XslCompiledTransform class. Hence it requires NET 2.0 Beta2 or higher. As a first beta version, nxslt 2.0 Beta1 is quite limited - no support for XInclude, EXSLT, multiple outputs and
embedded stylesheets yet. More at http://www.xmllab.net/Products/nxslt2/tabid/73/Default.aspx
