XML-LibXML 1.53

on Perl CPAN

• catalog interface
  
• enabled SGML parsing
  
• implemented libxml2 dom recovering
  
• parsing into GDOME nodes is now possible
  
• XML::LibXML::SAX is now faster
  
• made XML::LibXML::SAX parser running without errors in most (all?) cases
  (DTD handling is still not implemented).
  

DOM interface

• Node Iterator class
  
• NodeList Iterator class
  
• introduced XML::GDOME import and export. (EXPERIMENTAL)
  
• more security checks
  

general blur

• removed code shared with XML::GDOME to a separate XML::LibXML::Common
  module (check CPAN)
  
• removed some redundand code
  
• more documentation (and docu fixes) (thanks to Petr Pajas)
  

major fixes:

• possible buffer overflow with broken XML:
  This may effect all older versions of XML::LibXML, please upgrade!

• a bug while replacing the document element.

• very stupid encoding bug. all UTF8 strings will now be marked as
  UTF8 correctly

• namespace functions to work with empty namespaces

• toFH()

• namespace setting in XPath functions:
  the namespaces of the document element will always be added now

• threaded perl 5.8.0 issues

• calling external entity handlers work again

• XML::LibXML::SAX::Parser will not throw warnings on DTD nodes
