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:

   http://www.galaxquery.org/

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.
