What version of Saxon supports saxon:try?

What version of Saxon do I need to use saxon:try? I have a transform that needs to evaluate XPath expressions in elements of the input XML file, and currently finding errors in these expressions is a nightmare. I'm hoping that try might help me deal with errors in a more sensible way. Thanks - Rowan

The information about which features are in which product is at http://www.saxonica.com/feature-matrix.html (though sometimes the detail isn't fine-grained enough). saxon:try() as an extension function, like nearly all extension functions in the Saxon namespace, is in Saxon-PE (and also of course in Saxon-EE). The XQuery 1.1 try{} expression, like the rest of the XQuery 1.1 subset implemented in Saxon, is currently available only in Saxon-EE: I intend to keep it that way until XQuery 1.1 becomes a Recommendation, at which stage I will review the packaging.
