Congratulations Saxonica!
(with special callouts to Debbie, John, and Michael).
This is a significant leap for all XMLers.

A significant announcement today... Saxon-JS 2 is released!
This is a big development for Saxon on the Javascript platform. The most
obvious changes are:
* The product is now available on Node.js as well as in the browser
* The product now includes an XSLT compiler as well as a run-time, so it is
no longer restricted to users who have purchased a Saxon-EE license.
But there's also a vast number of smaller changes:
* A serializer with a very high level of conformance to the W3C specifications
* A richer Javascript API both for XSLT transformations and XPath evaluation
* Support for higher-order functions
* General filling in of remaining conformance gaps, taking us to 99.9%
coverage of XSLT 3.0 and XPath 3.1.
* Significant performance enhancements.
We're very excited by the potential of this product. Node.js has become a
very popular platform for high-performance web services, and until now it has
had rather poor support for XML technologies generally, and XSLT in
particular. Saxon-JS on Node.js is effectively a brand new XSLT processor,
which can now operate completely independently of the Java product. Our
initial performance results are very encouraging indeed.
We're making Saxon-JS available at no charge (but it's not open source).
We'll be offering a subscription package for enterprise users that will offer
source code, debugging aids, and functional add-ons in due course (please let
us know if you're interested: that will help us in designing the service).
But for the moment, please download it and try it out. For Node.js, it's on
npm with package names "xslt3" and "saxon-js". For the browser, you can
download from www.saxonica.com/saxon-js -- where you will also find full
documentation, delivered (of course) using Saxon-JS itself.
Debbie Lockett and John Lumley have devoted the last couple of years to this
project, and deserve a big round of applause.
