XML News from Sunday, October 19, 2003

Mono 0.28, open source implementation of the .NET Development Framework, has been released. New XML features in this release include:

• A complete Web Services stack with much more WSDL support
• genxs, a tool that can generate a XML serializer for any type and customize it.
• Partial XML Schema validation support in XmlValidatingReader
• Much faster XSLT and XPath

Mono is available for Unix and Windows, at least until such time as Microsoft decides to kill it with patent suits. :-(

Dare Obasanjo has released version 1.0 of EXSLT.NET, an implementation of EXSLT extensions to XSLT for the .NET platform. EXSLT.NET implements the Dates and Times, Common, Math, Regular Expressions, Sets and Strings EXSLT modules.
