xmlsh 1.1 released

I've finally gotten xmlsh back into good robust state after adding a bunch of new features.
Version 1.1 is here !
I have not yet completed documenting all the new features, working on that over the next few days, but you can look in the test cases for examples.

Major new features include

* Scriptable Streaming XML with StAX functions (at the script level)

* Native functions

* Function call expression syntax. eg. echo foo( bar )

* Native Java object creation, variables, and method calls

* Significant performance optimizations including reworking many commands from non-streamable to streamable

* JSON / XML conversions (preview feature, still in progress)
