<h1>Highlights</h1>
<p>This page lists some of the most important new features introduced in Saxon 9.1.</p>
<p>The following apply to Saxon-SA only:</p>
<ol>
<li content="para">
<p>Streaming extensions: more streaming capabilities in XSLT, and
addition of streaming capabilities to XQuery.</p>
</li>
<li content="para">
<p>XQuery Updates: Saxon now implements the (draft) XQuery Updates specification.</p>
</li>
<li content="para">
<p>XML Schema 1.1 support: Saxon 9.1 implements many of the more significant features from the draft XML Schema 1.1 specifications,
including Assertions, Conditional Type Assignment (co-occurrence constraints), and <code>xs:all</code> groups with flexible occurrence limits.</p>
</li>
<li content="para">
<p>Schema implementation now uses counters</p>
</li>
</ol>
<p>In Saxon-B, the most significant feature is probably support for the latest (almost-final) draft of the
XQJ specifications (Java API for XQuery).</p>
