Today we release 1.0 alpha 3, now available from Sourceforge and ftp.4suite.org. 1.0a3 replaces the last release, 1.0a2, which had some files missing, and has been withdrawn. 4Suite is a comprehensive platform for XML and RDF processing, with base libraries and a server framework. It is implemented in Python and C, and provides Python and XSLT APIs, Web and command line interfaces. For general information, see: http://4suite.org http://uche.ogbuji.net/tech/4Suite/ http://uche.ogbuji.net/tech/akara/nodes/2003-01-01/pyxml-akara For the files, see: ftp://ftp.4suite.org/pub/4Suite/ Sources: ftp://ftp.4suite.org/pub/4Suite/4Suite-1.0a3.tar.gz Windows installer: ftp://ftp.4suite.org/pub/4Suite/4Suite-1.0a3.win32-py2.1.exe ftp://ftp.4suite.org/pub/4Suite/4Suite-1.0a3.win32-py2.2.exe ftp://ftp.4suite.org/pub/4Suite/4Suite-1.0a3.win32-py2.3.exe Windows zip: ftp://ftp.4suite.org/pub/4Suite/4Suite-1.0a3.zip You can also get the files on Sourceforge: https://sourceforge.net/projects/foursuite/ https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=39954 IMPORTANT alpha release notes -- If you have built a 4Suite repository using an older version of 4Suite, you will probably have to make adjustments for this new release. If you used 0.12.0a3, or a more recent version, then it should suffice to recompile all stylesheets for each repository instance: 4ss_manager recompile In any case, see the following document for more details: http://uche.ogbuji.net/tech/akara/nodes/2003-01-01/backup There has been some progress with builds on Mac OS X in this release.
