A new version of gnomon has been released with many new features and bug fixes. For the full detail check the release notes then get the new version from the download page.

Gnomon is an ISAPI extension for Microsoft's IIS webserver which applies XSLT stylesheets to XML files 'on the fly'.

Put a single XML processing instruction into your XML file, and then access the URL with the .acds extension instead of .xml.

Gnomon uses the Xalan-C and Xerces-C libraries for XSLT and XML processing. It also caches compiled stylesheets and templates for blistering performance.

Gnomon allows access to the request state, including request variables (from POST data and query strings), cookies and CGI server variables.

Gnomon includes support for templates - a way of constructing a single web page out of multiple reusable blocks. Each block is a separate page on the server and Gnomon transparently modifies and directs GET and POST data to the correct page, outputting a single page back to the client browser.

Gnomon comes with a set of extension DLLs for SQL database access, and database persisted sessions. Gnomon is open-source, so full source code is available and we welcome contributions.

Gnomon is distributed under an open source license similar to the apache license. Build instructions are included in the manual and full source is available via anonymous subversion.
