The latest beta release of FourThought's 4XSLT is now feature-complete, according to Uche Ogbuji.

4XSLT 0.9.2, a beta release, has had many improvements, including:

• Internal restructing and cleaner external API
• Improved encoding handling
• Implement extension functions
• Improved performance

The release comes at the same time as version 0.10.2 of 4DOM, the Python XML DOM library. 4DOM changes include:

• Support for wide range of output encodings
• Updated for the 20000510 DOM Candidate Recommendation
• Bug fixes

Ogbuji requests that Python developers give the beta a "work-out" as the 4Suite XML applications head towards final release.
