Functions, operators, and data types for XPath 2.0
The standard URI resolver now handles escaped percent signs in URIs correctly. Previously it contained code to compensate for a bug in earlier Java releases, which meant that it stopped working when the Java bug was fixed.
The regular expression parser used for XPath functions such as matches()
, and also for
the pattern facet in XML Schema, now allows constructs such as [+-]
which were disallowed
by the XML Schema Proposed Edited Recommendation (March 2004) and then re-allowed by the Second Edition
(October 2004).
