 Extension methods that help/ease the task of using Saxon HE 11 Java s9api from .NET code
 
 This is a sample project outlining my successful attempt to apply https://github.com/ikvm-revived/ikvm and
-https://github.com/ikvm-revived/ikvm-maven to use the open-source Saxon HE 11 Java XSLT 3.0, XQuery 3.1 and XPath 3.1 library in .NET 6 code or .NET framework 4.8 code.

 Please understand that this is my own experiment, it uses the official Saxon HE 11 release from Maven, but the integration with IKVM and IKVM Maven is an experimental work of my own, not in any way an officially tested and supported product by Saxonica, the company that has produced Saxon.

-Understand that this is work in progress and kind of experimental, I don't have access to a complete test suite of unit tests to rigorously test this, I nevertheless feel it can be useful for folks to at least know about this option to run [XSLT 3.0](https://www.w3.org/TR/xslt-30/), [XPath 3.1](https://www.w3.org/TR/xpath-31/) and [XQuery 3.1](https://www.w3.org/TR/xquery-31/) in .NET 6 code or .NET framework 4.8 code.

 To use Saxon under .NET, the coding is mainly done against the Java s9api API of Saxon HE 11 although I have provided some extension methods as helpers to ease the task of using .NET FileInfo or Stream instead of needing to know about and use Java specific java.io.File or Stream classes/APIs.
 
-With this new release using IKVM 8.7.1 and IKMV.Maven.Sdk 1.6.1, it should now be possible to both use and build the packages under Windows as well as MacOs.
+With this new release using IKVM 8.8.9 and IKMV.Maven.Sdk 1.6.9, it should now be possible to both use and build the packages under Windows as well as MacOs and have a single NuGet package targetting .NET 6 and .NET 8 as well as .NET framework 4.8.
 
 The basic usage is to to install the NuGet package IKVM.Maven.Sdk to be able to pull in the Saxon HE 11 (e.g. 11.6) and the XmlResolver code it uses directly from Maven:
