release, v. 0.5.2
In the eight years since the initial release, the support for XSLT in browsers has improved greatly, and smartphones with small screens have become common. Version 5.2 supports changes in behavior of XSLT and CSS in the major browsers, and adjusts the web pages for viewing on handlheld devices.
initial release, v. 0.5
This is a beta release; it is not to be considered a finished product.
Please give it a try. If you find bugs, or have suggestions, please enter them in bugs or feature request on the Project page, under the Tracker tab.
However, please read the Scope and purpose document before reporting bugs and requesting features, so you at least understand where I think I’m going with the product.
I feel the need to make a disclaimer about the quality of the code. Although this is my second XSLT project, and I have fixed some stylesheets in the workplace, I do not claim that I have a good grasp of XSLT coding style or practices. (Then again, maybe there isn’t that much to grasp.) The code looks very messy to me—clearly I haven’t learned to arrange rocks and berries to the most pleasing effect.
