Its been a long time coming, but we are happy to announce the release of
libxml-ruby version 2.0.1.
The big change in this release is full support for Ruby 1.9.2. Strings
that are returned from libxml-ruby have their encodings set to the
encoding of the underlying xml document. Ruby 1.8.* is also still fully
supported.
This release also includes a number of enhancements and fixes that have
built up over the last two years. We've gone out and merged in almost
all the patches the community has sent it.
Note that libxml-ruby now lives on GitHub at:
https://github.com/xml4r/libxml-ruby
Please fork that repository, and report any issues to that project.
Enhancements include:
* Fully Ruby 1.9.2 support (see above)
* Fat binary support for Windows users
* Add support for setting attribute namespaces.
* Rubinius support.
* Modernized Gem structure, including a gemspec file, new publish tasks,
updated documentation tasks and use of Rake compiler.
Bug fixes include:
* Fix bug that caused segmentation fault when calling an invalid XPath
expression twice in a row.
* Remove references to passing blocks to Reader validation functions
since the blocks have been replaced by global error handling.
* Fix up incorrect comments in Document#node_type and Node#node_type
methods.
* Fix memory leak in Reader#expand, Reader#read_string,
Reader#read_inner_xml and Reader#read_outer_xml.
* Fix Node#space_preserve= (it was backwards).
* Fix up memory leak in SAX parser.
So give the new release a try, and let us know how it works for you!
Thanks,
Charlie
