4Suite XML 1.0.2 is now available from Sourceforge and ftp.4suite.org.
Thanks to all the testers, there are a number of important fixes and
improvements since 1.0.1, and we recommend upgrade from all previous
versions.  Changes include:

* Fixed TypeError when multiple interpreters are used (should help with
mod-python)
* Memory leak fix in Saxlette: freeing any parsing contexts left on the
parser when it is freed.
* Fix bug where extension functions are not properly passed on in context
* Fix build error when Python is configured with `--enable-shared`
* Fix bug with xi:include element's orphaning element state thus causing
an error with xsl:strip-elements.
* Fix error in nodeset comparisons with booleans

4Suite consists of three separate packages:

4Suite XML - XML, XPath, XSLT, related technologies and support libraries
4Suite RDF - RDF processing libraries and stand-alone DBMS
4Suite Repository - XML and RDF repository

This is a release of only the first component.

4Suite XML is a comprehensive library for XML processing.  It is
implemented in Python and C and supports XML (SAX-like and DOM-like),
XPath, XSLT, RELAX NG, XUpdate, XInclude, XPointer, and more.

Many users will be able to use easy_install.  See the bottom of this
