[ANN] XQuery Test Suite version 1.0.3

[Andrew Eisenberg <andrew.eisenberg@us.ibm.com>]

The XML Query Working Group and the
XSL Working Group would like to announce the availability of version 1.0.3
of the XML Query Test Suite (XQTS) at http://www.w3.org/XML/Query/test-suite/.


This test suite reflects the XML Query
1.0 (Second Edition) Proposed Edited Recommendation [1] that was published
on April 21, 2009. We have provided guidelines on how to run the test suite,
how to provide feedback to us, and how to send your results to us.

322 test cases have been added to test
the errata that were incorporated into the Second Edition specifications.
A new catalog file, XQTSCatalogSecondEdition.xml, contains a subset of
the complete test suite that includes only these Second Edition test cases.

We encourage implementors to run this
test suite and request that they provide their results to us by Oct. 15,
2010. Results for the complete test suite are preferred, but we recognize
that some implementors will wish to provide results for just the Second
Edition test cases. If enough positive results are received, then we will
be able to request a transition to Recommendation. 

Please note: The WGs have started to
add test cases for XQuery 1.1 to the test suite. These test cases are currently
found in the "XQuery 1.1 test cases" group. These test cases
contain output-file and expected-error elements that specify spec-version="1.1".
