Dear XSpec users,

A new official release of XSpec is out, this is v2.2.4 and is available at https://github.com/xspec/xspec/releases/tag/v2.2.4

You can read the release notes with the latest new features and bug fixes on GitHub, here are the highlights:

Common to Languages Under Test

• Pending or unfocused variable declarations are handled more gracefully.
• Large results are no longer saved in separate XML files by default.
• This will be the last version to support Saxon 9.8.
  

XSLT

• Multiple test scenarios can be run in parallel by setting @threads on x:description or x:scenario. (Requires Saxon-EE).
• You can set x:context when testing functions. (Requires /x:description/@run-as=external).
  

Schematron

• You can mark assertions as pending by setting @pending on x:expect-* elements, as an alternative to using the x:pending element.
• When @location does not point to one node, the error message is more helpful.

Many thanks to the many XSpec contributors who made this release possible, they are listed in the release notes.

Please try it out and feel free to report any bugs, feature requests, or feedback.

Thanks,

Sandro
