+	    <p> Updates to the xml scanner </p> <list> <item>
+	    <p>xmerl_scan is now returning xmlComment records in the
+	    output.<br/><br/> Functions <c>xmerl_scan:file/2</c> and
+	    <c>xmerl_scan:string/2</c> now accepts a new option
+	    <c>{comments, Flag}</c> for filtering of comments.<br/>
+	    Default (<c>true</c>) is that <c>#xmlComment</c> records
+	    are returned from the scanner and this flag should be set
+	    to false if one don't want comments in the output. </p>
+	    </item> <item> <p>Add <i>default_attrs</i>
+	    option<br/><br/> When <i>default_attrs</i> is <c>true</c>
+	    any attribute with a default value defined in the doctype
+	    but not in the attribute axis of the currently scanned
+	    element is added to it. </p> </item> <item> <p>Allow
+	    whole documents to be returned<br/><br/> Functions
+	    <c>xmerl_scan:file/2</c> and <c>xmerl_scan:string/2</c>
+	    now accepts a new option <c>{document, true}</c> to
+	    produce a whole document as a <c>xmlDocument</c> record
+	    instead of just the root element node.<br/> This option
+	    is the only way to get to the top-level comments and
+	    processing instructions without hooking through the
+	    customization functions. Those nodes are needed to
+	    implement [Canonical XML][c14n-xml] support.<br/>
+	    [c14n-xml]:
+	    http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/PR-xml-c14n11-20080129/
+	    <i>Canonical XML</i> </p> </item> <item><p>Parents and
+	    namespace are tracked in <c>#xmlAttribute</c>
+	    nodes</p></item> <item><p>Parents are tracked in
+	    <c>#xmlPI</c> nodes</p></item> <item><p>Set <c>vsn</c>
+	    field in <c>#xmlDecl</c> record</p></item> <item><p>Fix
+	    namespace-conformance constraints<br/><br/> See
+	    [Namespaces in XML 1.0 (Third Edition)][1]: The prefix
+	    xml is by definition bound to the namespace name
+	    http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace. It MAY, but need
+	    not, be declared, and MUST NOT be bound to any other
+	    namespace name. Other prefixes MUST NOT be bound to this
+	    namespace name, and it MUST NOT be declared as the
+	    default namespace.<br/> The prefix xmlns is used only to
+	    declare namespace bindings and is by definition bound to
+	    the namespace name http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/. It MUST
+	    NOT be declared . Other prefixes MUST NOT be bound to
+	    this namespace name, and it MUST NOT be declared as the
+	    default namespace. Element names MUST NOT have the prefix
+	    xmlns.<br/> In XML documents conforming to this
+	    specification, no tag may contain two attributes which
+	    have identical names, or have qualified names with the
+	    same local part and with prefixes which have been bound
+	    to namespace names that are identical.<br/> [1]

+	    <p> Updates of xmerl's Xpath functionality. </p> <list>
+	    <item><p>Add <c>#xmlPI</c> support to
+	    xmerl_xpath:write_node/1</p></item> <item><p>Fix
+	    processing-instruction(name?)</p></item> <item><p>Fix
+	    path filters, support more top-level primary
+	    expressions</p></item> <item><p>Accumulate comments in
+	    element nodes</p></item> <item><p>Implement namespace
+	    axis<br/><br/> Namespace nodes are represented as
+	    <c>#xmlNsNode</c> records. Now that the namespace axis is
+	    correctly implemented, attributes nodes corresponding to
+	    attributes that declare namespaces are ignored.<br/> See
+	    [5.3 Attribute Nodes][xpath-5.3]:<br/> There are no
+	    attribute nodes corresponding to attributes that declare
+	    namespaces.<br/> [xpath-5.3]:
+	    http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath/#attribute-nodes </p></item>
