At last, I'm releasing my nascent XProc processor. You'll find all the details on the project status page. Fair warning: this release is extremely alpha. In addition to scant documentation and a woefully inadequate test suite, it is known to have the following bugs: The defaulting story for primary inputs and outputs (i.e., a pipeline with no declared inputs gets an anonymous input if it's needed) is not supported. There is no command-line syntax for binding options. Parameters bound on the command-line are ignored. The following steps are not implemented: p:error, p:xsl-formatter, and p:xquery. The p:http-request step is incompletely and incorrectly implemented. A large, almost random collection of debugging messages are printed. Error reporting is abysmal. No doubt it has many others. However, it does implement a fair chunk of the specification and it does work for me, so maybe it'll work for you. I suggest you read the release notes before deciding if it's something you want to try today. Bug reports and other comments most welcome. I expect to continue to work on making it complete and correct at least until the XProc specification has successfully exited its candidate recommendation phase.
