Saxon 8.9 is out and fully supports the final version of XSLT2.
I don't believe there are any API changes.
Perhaps this could be tested and then the new xml beans release could
recommend Saxon 8.9 (instead of 8.8).

Chris

Hi all,
It's been some time since our last release (XMLBeans 2.2.0) and I am
thinking maybe it's time to consider having another. In particular, the
Saxon support, as we know, was shaky in 2.2.0 and we have improved
significantly since then, but those improvements are only available to
those who take the time to build from SVN...
There are a number of other changes and bugfixes, I have updated the
CHANGES.txt file with the complete list and attached it for your
convenience.
What do people think?
Thanks,
Radu
