I just pushed up the next release of libxml-ruby. It includes one big
fix and lots of little fixes that cleanup most of the old issues on
RubyForge and GitHub.
The big fix is supporting the use of libxml-ruby in native background
Ruby threads. Previously, the use of libxml-ruby in background threads
in Ruby 1.9.x and higher would often cause segmentation faults.
And for the little fixes, please see below.
Thanks,
Charlie
------------
* The biggest change in this release is supporting the use of
libxml-ruby in native background Ruby threads. Previously, the use of
libxml-ruby in background threads in Ruby 1.9.x and higher would often
cause segmentation faults. This has now been fixed (Charlie Savage).
* Update Reader#expand so that returned node correctly remembers its
encoding in Ruby 1.9.x (zerebubuth).
* Add check to verify a node has not been deleted. This can happen when
a ruby variable holds a reference to a child node that gets freed
when its parent gets freed. Previously when this happened a
segmentation fault would occur, now an exception is raised (Charlie
Savage, fixes
RubyForge #26839.
* Do not unlink nodes before internal validations have run - avoids
segmentation faults caused by freeing a node twice (Charlie Savage).
* Add support for Document#canonicalization (Victor Lin).
* Fix memory leak in Reader#lookup_namespace (Charlie Savage).
* Fix memory leak in Reader#[] (Nathan Kriege).
* Fix usage of @io instance variable (Jeffrey Taylor)
* Removed old sax error handling code that has been fixed in newer
versions of libxml (Charlie Savage).
* Code cleanup - remove unused variables and commented out code (Charlie
Savage)
* Minor text changes and documentation fixes (Charlie Savage).
* Fix documentation error (fixes RubyForge #26888).
* Update documentation for Document#validation* methods (fixes RubyForge
#24833).
* Update documentation and test (fixes Ruby Forge Issue #28770).
* Updated documentation in README (Anurag Priyam):
1. rake doc does not work; use rake rdoc.
2. gem mislav-hanna does not exist; use hanna.
3. rake rdoc 'depends' on hanna; no need of RDOCOPTS
4. Point to the github issue tracker instead of Ruby Forge
5. Point to the github (gh-pages) site for docs
* Add tc_error to test suite (Charlie Savage).
* Add sax test (Stanislav O.Pogrebnyak).
