24 Mar 2007: xpathTextAsMarkup

Corrections to the code to remove spurious text blocks

Introduction of code to process lists and pre-formatted code

(Source-only release for now)

10 Feb 2006: Simplify Applescript Python

On third thought, use only the base Python tools (with gensuite).

My needs are too simple for elaborate libraries and it makes for a smaller file, which is a good thing.

6 Feb 2006: note-by-id

node-by-id XPath function was broken.

Renamed node-by-id into note-by-id for consistency. (Old name still works for compatibility)

3 Feb 2006: XSLT stylesheets

Now allows to drag a XSLT stylesheet besides a Tinderbox document.

3 Feb 2006: Better save policy

The applet prompts the user to save the transformed file. Default is still to overwrite the original: Just press enter. Many successive numbered backups are created.

3 Feb 2006: Applescript Python options

On second thought, use Hamish Sanderson's Appscript instead of Bob Ippolito's aeve (which is great but still work in progress as of now.)

3 Feb 2006: Repackage for Tiger copy

Using Bob Ippolito's py2app instead of Sveinbjorn Thordarson's Platypus;

Using Bob Ippolito's aeve instead of Apple's osapp

includes python wrappers for stock Tiger versions of libxml2, libxslt

2 Feb 2006: Aliases now make sense

As of tinderbox document version 2.3, Alias numbers are finally unsigned (very much at my request... Thanks, Mark!) So I have to follow the new format, according to file version #.

6 Jun 2004: Significant performance improvements for tb:property

5 Jun 2004: corrections to xpathEvalScript
