  [DOCUMENTATION]

  - I had forgotten to change another thing in the documentation (since 0.40, 24 Jun 2012):
    use XML::Reader; should be spelled: use XML::Reader qw(XML::Parser);

0.51 - 2014-08-09T12:07:58+01:00

  [BUG FIX]

    attributes: (only valid when used in conjunction with "use XML::Reader qw(XML::Parsepp);")
    my $rdr = XML::Reader->new('test.xml', {dupatt => '|'});

  - The concatenation string {dupatt => $str} is restricted to printable ascii excluding alphanumeric, " and '

    that allows to return an array of PYX-elements.

    replace reference to scalar in $self->{rvalue} by a plain scalar.

  [DEPRECATIONS]

  - Remove deprecated functions newhd() and rstem()

  [DOCUMENTATION]

  - Introduce XML::MinWriter

0.38 - 2011-10-18T13:22:28+01:00

  [ENHANCEMENTS]

  [DOCUMENTATION]

  - Remove META.yml from MANIFEST

0.37 - 2010-06-02T13:47:18+01:00

  [DOCUMENTATION]

  - The POD documentation has headers (=head1 and =head2) that are too
    complicated, i.e. they contain characters like '(', ')' and '>'. This confuses
    the POD Parser. This version simplifies the headers. (all 3 POD files are
    affected: 'Reader.pm', 'Reader_fr.pod' and 'Reader_de.pod'

0.36 - 2010-06-01T16:32:23+01:00

0.35 - 2010-04-28T11:46:18+01:00

  [ENHANCEMENTS]

  - Replace XML::Reader::newhd() by XML::Reader::new()

  - Add option {mode => 'attr-bef-start' | 'attr-in-hash' | 'pyx' | 'branches'}
    as an alternative to the existing {filter => 2|3|4|5}

  - Add an option {sepchar => 'xyz'} to XML::Reader->new

  [BUG FIX]

  - For {parse_pi => 1}, fix a bug with $rdr->dec_hash->{standalone}
    used to be '1' and '' which is false, 'yes' and 'no' is correct

  - For {filter => 5} function rstem() is redundant ==> replace function rstem() by path()

  - Fix a bug in functions is_text() / is_value()

  - Allow the writing of comments and PI if {branch => '*'} is selected

  [DOCUMENTATION]

  - Relicencing under the "Artistic Licence 2.0"

0.34 - 2010-04-26T16:33:09+01:00

  [ENHANCEMENTS]

  - For {filter => 5}: restrict { branch => '...' } to { branch => '*' } only

0.33 - 2010-04-25T09:15:52+01:00

  [ENHANCEMENTS]

  - For {filter => 5} you can now have duplicate roots (which was not possible before)

  - added a new function $self->rstem

  - allow relative roots, such as 'tag1/tag2' or '//tag1/tag2'

  - allow branch => '*' which will effectively collect all events and construct
    a sub-tree in XML format, that XML-format has the correct translations
    char < into &lt;
    char > into &gt;
    char & into &amp;
    char ' into &apos;
    char " into &quot;


0.32 - 2010-02-17T17:32:56+01:00

    version is use 5.008;

0.31 - 2010-01-29T08:52:34+01:00

  [BUG FIX]

  - I am suddenly getting automated reports about test failures on systems where
    XML::Parser has not been installed. To fix that problem, I have to add the
    correct module dependency in Build.PL and in Makefile.PL.

  [DOCUMENTATION]

    in XML::Reader

    That's probably due to the missing =pod directive.
    I have now added the =pod directive and I keep my fingers crossed

0.23 - 2009-09-19T08:41:26+01:00

  [DOCUMENTATION]
