A New Release of FXSL 2.0

I have uploaded to Sourceforge.Net the latest release of FXSL 2.0.

It corresponds to the contents of the CVS on 13 Aug. 2006. This release of FXSL 2.0 implements all the features referenced in my recent presentation at the Extreme Markup Languages 2006 conference.

Here are the file release notes:

"Notes: 13 Aug. 2006 FXSL for XSLT 2.0 (version 2) ==========================================
Much work has been done in this release.

The main new results:

Almost all standard XPath 2.0 functions (F & O) have now higher-order FXSL wrappers that makes possible to use them as higher order functions and to create partial applications from them.
Some standard XSLT 2.0 functions and instructions have now higher-order FXSL wrappers that makes possible to use them as higher order functions and to create partial applications from them.
All standard XPath 2.0 operators (F & O) have now higher-order FXSL wrappers that makes possible to use them as higher order functions and to create partial applications from them.
All standard XPath 2.0 constructors have now higher-order FXSL wrappers that makes possible to use them as higher order functions and to create partial applications from them.
Currying and partial application uses dynamic type detection of the arguments of the function. On the final evaluation of the function when all arguments have been specified the typed values of the arguments are reconstructed using the recorded type information."

Hello, World!

I am Dimitre Novatchev -- your host in this blog.

Here you'll find a description of XSLT challenges and solutions. I will share my expertise in solving interesting problems raised in the XSL List or other forums.

On this blog I will announce new versions of the tools I've developed -- the XPath Visualizer and the FXSL library among some of the more well-known ones.

To start:

Here is a list of articles and conference papers on FXSL -- the Functional Programming Library for XSLT.
Here is a list of my solutions to interesting XSLT or XPath problems.
Here and here are the official download locations for the XPath Visualizer (for IE5+ and for Mozilla).
Here is an article about my implementation of EXSLT for MSXML4.

There are many other problems, which I've had fun with in the last few years, such as spelling-checking Shakespeare's Othello, building a concordance based on the New Testament, a prime number checker, an efficient Fibonacci number generator, a Sudoku puzzle solver, ... etc, all in XSLT!

One by one I will cover these in more details in this blog.

Stay tuned!
