Guide to the Upgrades Offered in Altova’s Release 2 of Version 2014

April 8, 2014

The Altova blog article titled Altova’s Latest Release Sets the Performance Bar Even Higher promotes Release 2 of Altova MissionKit desktop developer. The article dives into the latest upgrades, including the XSL Speed Optimizer, which according to the chart offered, is 7.5% faster. The article explains how this works,

“This new technology is a ground breaking approach to speeding up XSLT transformations, providing tremendous increases in throughput with no analysis required by the developer to determine exactly which XSLT or XPath expressions are causing bottlenecks. The XSL Speed Optimizer analyzes an XSLT transformation and derives an optimization strategy that can be saved within the stylesheet as processing instructions (PI). Subsequent transformations with the optimized stylesheet using either XMLSpy or RaptorXML will be executed faster using those optimization hints.”

By skipping the step of classifying and remedying bottlenecks, the XSL Speed Optimizer enables designers to zoom in on the transformation logic of their stylesheets. Other upgrades included in the new release are additional support for XSLT, XPath, and XQuery 3.0, new Altova extension functions, improved data mapping options and bulk insert for databases. Read the full article for more information on these exciting new enhancements. This new release is available for download through the Altova Download Center.
