  I’m using the HTML parser to get an XML serialization which I then
  reparse. It’s ugly, but ... Saxon/C Help and Discussions: RE: SaxonC 12.1 EE Query.exe on Windows: how to use XPath 4.0 function parse-html

  With Saxon EE 12.1 Java, it seems to have support for the XPath 4.0 (proposed) `parse-html` function I need to put e.g. `htmlparser-1.4.16.jar` on the Java classpath.
  What about SaxonC EE 12.1 where I can't put anything on the classpa...

  I've published XML Resolver 5.1.2 that removes the dependency on xml-apis. I've updated the builds for Saxon 11.x, 12.x, and trunk to use it, and exclude xml-apis for good measure. Bug #5931 (Resolved): Please do not include outdated xml-apis in the Maven consumable artifact

  The Maven artifact [net.sf.saxon:Saxon-HE](https://central.sonatype.com/artifact/net.sf.saxon/Saxon-HE/12.0/overview) depends on xml-apis:xml-apis (brought by the transitive dependencies mechanism through [org.xmlresolver:org.xmlresolver...

  Norm Tovey-Walsh Fascinating. Thank you. I recently plowed my way through the [muddle](https://so.nwalsh.com/2023/02/17-xml-apis) of xml-apis.jar and somehow failed to notice that they were simply part of the JDK starting at least with Java 8. *blush*

  Added code to check for `file:` URIs in output files. They're unwrapped to just paths, being careful on Windows to remove the leading slash before a drive letter. Bug #5940 (Resolved): Should we resolve implicit (or explicit) file: URIs for the -o option?

  The documentation is clear that `-o` is a filename, but...
  1. If a user specifies `-u`, it's very tempting to specify a `file:` URI for `-o`
  2. Even if a user *doesn't* specify `-u`, we detect `file:` URIs on inputs implicitly, shoul...

  Fixed by making sure we call a `DirectResoureResolver` as well as the catalog resolver. Bug #5939 (Resolved): Using -u and a file: URI as the source argument for a query doesn't work

  Actually, any URI that isn't resolved through the catalog will fail.

  This appears to have been caused by an unpinned reference to the `delvewheel` process which was upgraded after our last release. The new versions attempt to deal with delayed loading of DLLs by adding this '.pth' file but that clearly br...
