Upgrading to MovableType 3.15 in a moment

I'm going to upgrade my blog's MovableType engine to 3.15. I'm full of hopes it helps with damn comment spam. ...

ANN: nxslt.exe (.NET XSLT Command Line Utility) version 1.5

I'm glad to announce version 1.5 of the nxslt.exe - .NET XSLT command line utility. ...

What's nxslt.exe?

nxslt is a small but feature-rich command line utility that allows to perform XSL Transformations (XSLT) using .NET Framework's XSLT implementation - System.Xml.Xsl.XslTransform class. nxslt basically dublicates functionality and command line options, provided by Microsoft's MSXSL.EXE Command Line Transformation Utility with small difference: unlike msxsl.exe, nxslt does not support specifying start mode. In addition, nxslt has some distinct advanced features, like support for XInclude, embedded stylesheets, custom URI resolving, multiple result documents, custom extension functions, built-in rich library of EXSLT extenstion functions etc.

Changes since version 1.4

  • Updated to XInclude.NET module of the Mvp.Xml v1.0 lib - support for final W3C XInclide Recommendation
  • An ability to provide user credentials to be used when loading XML source and XSLT stylesheet documents
  • Usage header now indicats what's full version of the .NET runtime nxslt.exe is running under:
    D:\>nxslt.exe -?
    .NET XSLT command line utility, version 1.5 build 1860

Turning a page

I turned some sort of a page in my life and now I'm starting a new one. Still tabula rasa, but some outlines are clearly visible. I'm going to launch a new site, xmllab.net, which I see as a better place for my blog (nobody's able to pronounce tkachenko.com anyway ...
