Saxon.NET 1.0 RC1 is now available for download at:
http://www.saxondotnet.org/saxon.net/downloads/Saxon.NET-1.0-RC1.zip
[UPDATE: All .NET assemblies in this release have been properly signed]
There are still a few things I need to add to this, most importantly a URI caching such that namespace URI's will be able to access the base URI of there containing document. This doesn't cause any serious problems as far as usage and performance is concerned but is a necessary piece to ensure complete compliance to the W3C spec and to stay in sync with the latest Saxon release. This will be made available in RC2 after I am confident the community has had time to add the beneifit of their own tests to the mix and as such reported any showstoppers that would warrant extended bug bashing/development work.
This release is based on the latest 8.3(Basic) Saxon bits including all released code patches Dr. Micheal Kay has made available via the Saxon-Help mailing list. This build has been run through a battery of conformance tests and beyond warnings thrown (commandline only) when extended namespaces are used has passed with flying colors. This includes the testing that Dimitre Novatchev has been doing with his latest FXSL library for XSLT 2.0.
Thanks to everyone who has helped make this Release Candidate possible, specifically Dr. Micheal Kay for obvious reasons, Jeroen Frijters for his development of the IKVM.NET project, and Dimitre Novatchev for adding Saxon.NET as part of his ongoing test routines of the FXSL library which has proven beyond any reasonable doubt that Saxon.NET is ready to take on the XSLT 2.0, XPath 2.0, and XQuery 1.0 needs of the .NET development community.
Cheers to you all :)
[UPDATE: I am currently developing examples on how to implement extension functions via C# as well as the full extended documentation such that anything that is different than the usage contained in Saxon can be easily referenced both online and via a downloadble PDF). As soon as these become available I will post a link.]

Does anyboy have an example of an xml/xslt2.0 transform using Saxon.NET-1.0-RC1
Hi Arthur,
I have TONS… I am playing MAJOR catch-up at the moment because I missed all of last week, something that hasn’t happened to me in almost 2 years (missing a week of work.) As scatter-brained as I am normally I am sure you can imagine how much more so I am right at this moment… but I will get all of this caught-up and will be spending LOTS AND LOTS of time on this project this week so please stay tuned…
Cheers :)
<M:D/>
How does the ikvm-compiled saxon jar (let’s call it saxon-net.dll) know how to load the original jar dependencies (dom.jar, xom-1.0.jar, jdom.jar, jaxp.jar etc). Internally, I would think saxon-net.dll still looks for jars and not dlls after the byte code translation?
Hi Andy,
While I havent spent the time to include support for XOM or JDOM the others you mentioned are all now part of the IKVM.Gnu.Classpath.dll. Before the official 0.10 release this was not the case and I had to hack in support to Saxon.NET.dl directly. But this is neither here nor there given that its all part of the mentioned dll.
Hope this helps!
