# Altova Software Version 2014 is Available

It’s time for [Altova’s annual major release](https://www.altova.com/whatsnew_missionkit.html), and this year, we’ve added support for the latest version of major W3C standards: **XML Schema 1.1 and XPath, XSLT, and XQuery 3.0**. Validation and processing of these standards in Altova MissionKit products is Powered by [RaptorXML](https://www.altova.com/raptorxml.html), bringing the benefits of Altova’s third-generation XML and XBRL engine to your favorite developer tools.

Integration for relational databases has been extended, as well, with compatibility provided for new database versions and database vendors. Support now includes:
