HTML::DOM, version 0.048

HTML::DOM is a Perl implementation of the HTML Document Object Model

This is an alpha release.  So far,  the level-2 core,  HTML and event
DOM interfaces have been implemented,  and some of the level-2  style
sheet interfaces.


RECENT CHANGES

See the Changes file for the long version.

0.048
-----
Bug fix: Area elements now trigger a DOMActivate event when the click
method is called.  (This means that a default event handler for links
gets called with area elements, as well as ‘a’ elements.)

0.047
-----
Bug fix: Implicitly-closed forms were being associated with inputs in subsequent forms,  resulting in there being two  forms  that  contain
the same input  element  in  their  ->elements  and  ->inputs  arrays
(RT #65363).

0.046
-----
Bug fixes:
• Setting innerHTML and calling the insertAdjacent* methods now cause
  node lists and collections to be updated.
• Checking a radio button now causes other radio buttons in the  same
  group to become unchecked.


TO DO

- Finish Level 2 CSS support
- outerHTML/innerText?
- Other DOM interfaces (the rest of level 2, and level 3)
- HTML 5 stuff

- Write more tests
- Finishing checking for memory leaks (run all tests under
  Devel::Leak::Object)
