We are pleased to announce the release of XSpec v3.1.2, the open source unit test and behaviour-driven development framework for XSLT, XQuery, and Schematron.

You can get the latest release of XSpec and read the release notes on GitHub.
https://github.com/xspec/xspec/releases/tag/v3.1.2

These are the highlights:

### Common to Languages Under Test

- XSpec is tested with Saxon 12.5, except that the detailed contents of XSLT code coverage reports are tested with Saxon 12.4.

- The XSpec schemas enforce the boolean values for the x:expand-text attribute and provide a Schematron Quick Fix for expand-text attributes on non-XSpec elements.

### XSLT

- XSLT code coverage reports have many bug fixes.
- XSLT code coverage reports include a new coverage status of "unknown" for situations where XSpec has insufficient data to judge whether a node was hit or missed. Some instances of hit/miss/unknown determinations differ based on the Saxon version used for generating the report. While both Saxon 12.4 and 12.5 are supported, 12.4 is currently preferred for coverage reporting.

### XQuery

- XSpec is tested with BaseX 11.3.

### Schematron

- SchXslt 1.10 replaces SchXslt 1.9.5 as the built-in Schematron implementation.
