– Improved Stability.

– FIX: Namespaces declared without either a prefix or a URI are safely ignored.

– Improved Unicode support – New Icon

– New language feature from XQuery 3.0: Switch expressions. `switch ($n) case 1 return 'one' case 2 return 'two' default return 'unknown'` – Improved application stability. – Improved support for Unicode text in source XML documents.

- Improved performance for syntax highlighting in large XML documents. And also some new language features from XPath 3.0: - First-class inline functions like: `let $map := function($seq, $f) { … }` - Anonymous functions like: `$map((1,2,3), function($n) { $n*$n })` - Support for the string concatenation operator `||` - Support for the simple mapping operator `!` And from XPath 2.0: - Steps in Path expressions may now be arbitrary sub-expressions like: `book/(chapter|appendix)/*`

NEW: Support for many XPath 2.0 and XQuery features: - Support for XQuery FLWOR (For, Let, Where, Order by, Return) expressions - Sequence and Range expressions - "some" and "every" Quantified expressions - "if" Conditional expressions - "union", "except", and "intersect" set operators - avg() - data() - distinct-values() - empty() - exists() - index-of() - insert-before() - max() - min() - remove() - reverse() - subsequence() - sum()
