We all make a few mistakes. I expect to make some more...

I'm still reloading my git knowledge, but I'm not sure deleting the .zip is the best action from a Git point of view; I seem to remember that the ideal thing in this case would be to roll the branch back to before the zip was merged, so it's removed from the branch history. Not sure I still remember the proper incantations to do so, though.

It might be worth considering, if just adding functions, making them a set of extension functions for now. Those could be a (nearly) independent release stream, and would let folks start using them before the next Xalan release (and before Xalan commits to supporting them). EXSLT mostly used this approach, if I remember correctly, though some of what ended up in that set was later integrated more tightly into the processor. I'm not sure whether Mukul's work would be comfortable in that mode or not; I really haven't looked at it yet since my focus has been on trying to clear some of the backlog.

No, you can't tag and just release on github. Releases must be voted on and

Thanks for advice about this topic. I've deleted the .zip archive,
xalan-j_xslt3.0_developer_binaries_2023-08-24.zip that I had committed
yesterday, from XalanJ repos xalan-java's branch xalan-j_xslt3.0.

Also I wish to say that, I had committed the .zip archive
xalan-j_xslt3.0_developer_binaries_2023-08-24.zip representing an
XalanJ XSLT 3.0 latest developer build, and not a release. Perhaps
this .zip archive's location that I had chosen was not correct (that
was unintentional from my side).

I shall collect my thoughts (we should all actually, as a XalanJ team)
over the XalanJ release 3.0-alpha1 that you've suggested, from the
xalan-java repos's branch xalan-j_xslt3.0, and shall share my thoughts
on this list.
