Wolfgang Hoschek has released NUX 1.2,
an open source add-on package for XOM that connects it to Michael Kay's Saxon 8 XSLT 2/XPath 2/XQuery processor and the Sun Multi-Schema Validator.
It also provides thread-safe factories and pools for creating XOM Builder objects.
NUX also includes yet another non-XML binary format.
Version 1.2 adds full text search based on Apache Lucene.
NUX is published under a modified BSD license (no advertising clause).
Sleepycat Software has released Berkeley DB XML 2.1.8, an open source "application-specific, embedded data manager for native XML data" based on Berkeley DB. It supports the July working drafts of XQuery 1.0 and XPath 2.0. It includes C++, Java, Perl, Python, TCL and PHP APIs. 2.1.8 is a bug fix release, especially focusing on compatibility with GCC 4.0.
