+ <section><title>Improvements and New Features</title>
+ <list>
+ <item>
+ <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]
+ http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml-names/ </p></item> </list>
+ <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>
