Release 2.1.1:
Bug fixes and minor enhancements.
Changes since 2.1.0:
The project repository was migrated from CVS to SVN.
Several important bug and compatibility fixes and a three new XPath
functions:
- xsh:lineno()
returns the line-number of the current node (the function was present
before but was not documented)
- xsh:span($start-node,$end-node)
returns a node-set which forms a span of sibling nodes
starting at $start-node and ending at $end-node
(these two must be siblings).
- xsh:context($node,$before,$after?)
returns a node-set of sibling nodes surrounding $node. The span
consists of (up to) $before-many nodes immediately preceding
$node, the $node itself, and (up to) $after-many nodes
immediately following $node. If the $after is not given,
the value of $before is assumed.
Release 2.1.0:
Feature enhancements.
Changes since 2.0.2:
--------------------
Incompatible Changes:
- commands 'rename' and 'map' have new syntax and semantics:
OLD (XSH 2.0.2) | NEW (XSH 2.1.0)
-----------------------------+-----------------------------------
map { $_=uc } //text(); | map { uc } //text();
map { s/foo/bar/ } //text(); | map :i { s/foo/bar/ } //text();
map { $_='link' } //ref; | rename link //ref;
New Features:
- XSH scripts can be "compiled" (xsh -D) into Perl scripts
which start faster (see xsh --help for details)
- XML::XSH2::Compile module allows efficient embedding of
XSH2 scripts into Perl modules (see the module's manpage)

over namespace declarations

xsh:filename() (introspection), and xsh:lookup() (hash retrieval),
xsh:document() (get open document by filename), and xsh:documents()
(get all open documents)
- the interactive shell has a customizable prompt
Enhancements:
- the mapping expression of 'rename' and 'map' can be XPath

--------------------
XSH2 language:
- language syntax changed: see http://xsh.sf.net/doc2/chunks/xsh2delta.html

- better integration with Perl: any argument can be specified either
as an XPath or Perl expression
- commands and user-defined subroutines can return arbitrary objects
- commands have flags and named-parameters (instead of many optional
positional arguments as in XSH1): --flag or :f and --param val or
:p val
- various commands provide better functionality based on new options
and flags introduced in XSH2
- true lexical variables (a.k.a. my)
- several new commands introduced:
edit, edit-string, canonical, index, my, set-dtd, expr, do
- new 'eval' command evaluates given string as XSH2

- serialization now doesn't force utf-8 encoding on files with no
encoding specified
