The XProc 3.1 step libraries are available in several different specifications. The
last call drafts are stable and will not be updated.

All implementations must implement the standard step libarary:

* **[XProc 3.1 Standard Step Library last call, 20 August 2024](https://spec.xproc.org/lastcall-2024-08/head/steps/)**: The editorial team believes that the standard step library specification is finished.
We are unaware (at the time of publication) of any substantive issues.
Changes from 3.0 are summarized in
[Appendix F](https://spec.xproc.org/lastcall-2024-08/head/steps/#changelog).

Support for these additional libraries is optional. Implementations are free to pick
and choose which libraries they implement.

* **[Dynamic pipeline execution (`p:run`)](https://spec.xproc.org/lastcall-2024-08/head/run/)**: A step that runs pipelines constructed dynamically.
* **[File steps](https://spec.xproc.org/lastcall-2024-08/head/file/)**: Steps related to accessing files on a filesystem (rename, move, delete, etc.).
* **[Operating system steps](https://spec.xproc.org/lastcall-2024-08/head/os/)**: Steps related to accessing aspects of the underlying operating system (information about the system and the ability to execute commands on it).
