Announcing a new release of XML Calabash, my XProc processor.
There has never been an unexpectedly short debugging period in the history of computers.
I don't routinely announce new XML Calabash releases with a weblog posting. Instead, I just update the project page. I assume if you're interested, you can follow along there, or on the mailing list, or even on Twitter (or Identi.ca).
But I think there's been a spike in interest in XProc![[L]](/graphics/linkgroup.gif)
recently, with many new users and several new implementors entering the scene, so I thought I'd make a little bigger splash with this release.
Not that there's anything particularly remarkable in this release, it's mostly bug fixes. But, on the other hand, it's a lot of them, so maybe that's cause for celebration.
Share and enjoy.
