The XML Query Working Group and the
XSL Working Group would like to announce the availability of version 1.0.1
of the XML Query Test Suite (XQTS) at http://www.w3.org/XML/Query/test-suite/.



XQTS 1.0.1 fixes a small number of bugs
reported against XQTS 1.0 and it reflects a small number of CR issues that
have been resolved by the WGs. We encourage implementors that have sent
us reports for XQTS 1.0 to run XQTS 1.0.1 and send us their final reports.
The reports that we have received provide most of the implementation experience
that we need to request a transition to Proposed Recommendation. We would
appreciate a report showing an implementation of Minimal Conformance using
the XQueryX syntax. 



To date, we have received the results for several implementations of XQuery:
Saxon-SA, xq2xsl, X-Hive/DB, Qizx, DataDirect XQuery, Stylus Studio, Sedna
XML Database System, xbird/open, and Galax. A report that reflects these
results is available from our web page. We will update this report for
the next couple of weeks as new results are received.



We will  maintain and enhance the
test suite after our transition to Proposed Recommendation. We do not expect
to send out any further announcements about our test suite -- any news
or updates will be posted on our web page.
