[ANNOUNCE] XQuery: Galax version 0.5.0 available

We are proud to announce version 0.5.0 of Galax, an open source
implementation of XQuery 1.0.

This version implements the October 2004 XQuery working drafts and
includes a completely redesigned compiler with an algebraic optimizer,
a more efficient XML parser, and numerous bug fixes.

Galax 0.5.0 can be downloaded from the Galax Web site at:

In addition to the Galax source, pre-compiled binaries are available
for Linux, MacOS, Solaris, and Windows with MinGW.

Galax provides APIs for O'Caml, C, and Java and is implemented in
O'Caml.
