2009/08/18 - Apache AxKit has been retired.

I have a site that has been running AxKit 1.6.2 for some years now.

I have 2 questions:

1.  Is there any documentation about the difference between the Axkit  
1 and AxKit2?  Any how to upgrade, why to upgrade documents?

2.  I have troubles with axkit URIs in xslt, but I would really like  
to use them more to assemble documents from collections of smaller  
cached handlers/documents

my current setup I'm doing  things like:

   select="document($attachment_uri)/attachments/attachment"

when $attachment_uri is 'axkit:/attachments.xml?tail=8'  i get errors  
on the first request like this:

   axkit:/attachments.xml?tail=8:1: at .../lib/perl5/Apache/AxKit/ 
Language/LibXSLT.pm line 124, <_parse_system_id_FILE_HANDLE> line 32.

a subsequent request will actually work, [ and then is cached. ]

when $attachment_uri is 'http://127.0.0.1/attachments.xml?tail=8'  
everything works fine.


Would upgrading to 1.7 solve this problem? [ didn't appear so from  
the changelog but I will probably try it anyhow, got stuck on  
something else last time I tried.]
should I be upgrading to AxKit 2?

Any suggestions/advice is appreciated.
