SaxonJS 2.4 released

Saxonica is pleased to announce the release of SaxonJS 2.4 for both Node.js and the browser.

SaxonJS is a high-performance XSLT 3.0 processor. It conforms with the latest W3C specifications (notably XSLT 3.0 and XPath 3.1), together with extensions designed to meet the needs of modern web applications.

The SaxonJS 2.4 release is a maintenance release containing about 30 bug fixes. If you’re using Saxon-EE 11 to produce SEFs for use with SaxonJS 2, please use version 11.3 or later, as a number of bugs in compiling to SEF were fixed in the 11.3 maintenance release.

Notable bug fixes in this SaxonJS release:

* 4755 Pattern x/(a | b) is rejected
* 5036 key() doesn't work on ixsl:page() after ixsl:replace-content?
