I've uploaded Version 2.29 of XML::Parser to CPAN.
This is a maintenance release.
Here's the relevant part of the Changes log:
2.29 Sun May 21 21:19:45 EDT 2000
- In expat, notation declaration handler registration wasn't
surviving through external entity references.
- Chase Tingley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> discovered that text
accumulation in the Stream style wasn't working across processing
instructions and recommended the appropriate fix.
- Jochen Wiedmann <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, noted that
you couldn't use ExpatNB directly because it wasn't setting
the protective _State_ variable. Now doing this in the
parse_more method of ExpatNB.
- At the suggestion of Grant Hopwood <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, now
calling the env_proxy method on the LWP::UserAgent in the LWP
external entity handler when it's created to set any proxies
from environment variables.
- Grant McLean, Matt Sergeant (& others I may have missed) noted that
loading the LWP & URI modules slowed startup of the module, even
if the application didn't need it. The default LWP handler is now
dynamicly loaded (along with LWP & URI modules) the first time an
external entity is referenced. Also provided a NoLWP option to
XML::Parser that forces the file based external entity handler.
- Fixed allocation errors in element declaration patches in expat
- The Expat base method now works, even before expat starts parsing.
- Changed the canonical script to take an optional file argument.
- Enno Derksen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> reported that the attlist handler
was not returning NOTATION type attlist information.
- Michel Rodriguez <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, noted that the constructor
for XML::Parser objects no longer checked for the existence of
applications installed external entity handlers before installing
the default ones.
- Burkhard Meier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> sent in a fix for
compiler directives in Expat/Makefile.PL for Win32 machines.
A change in 5.6.0 caused the old conditional to fail.
- Forgot to document changes to the Entity declaration handler:
there is an additional "IsParam" argument that indicates whether
or not the entity is a parameter entity. This information is
no longer passed on in the name.
- Ben Low <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> reported an undefined macro with
version 5.004_04.
