This is a completely valid complaint, and I think I should explain the "histroy" of the 1.N.5 release a bit more to you. There were some major changes to phpxml, and I was keen to get them to you. On the other hand given bugs like the <a>1<b>2</b>3</a> which make me extremely worried about the integrity of the code that modifies the xml object. Testing up until 1.N.5 has been non existant, so there have been no unit tests to run in order to check that we have a "consistent" release. I decided that I would ship the 1.N.5 changes incompletely tested in the vain hope that there weren't any bugs. You don't have to use it, hence 1.N.4 is still available for download. I'm extremely sad to here of "stupid" mistakes like missing out "$this->" ans so forth, and this embarrasses me and only further highlights the need for unit tests. The xPathQuerys.php unit test distributed with 1.N.5 is designed to test the XPath element of phpxml. It has shown up some bugs, and they have been fixed. Sadly we seem to have found some other bugs now so we will adapt the unit test to expose the bugs, then fix them. Then this bug will NEVER appear in any further release of phpxml. The other area of unit tests that is required is in the xml modification and content access area. This is one of the major advantages in changing to a DOM style public interface. DOM is well understood, and test data exists that we can use for phpxml to give us a unit test. http://www.w3.org/DOM/Test/. The next major step I have planned for development, before more performance enhancements, is to build a DomTest.php unit test for phpxml, that will test to check that we modify xml documents correctly. So in the mean time I'm afraid you guys are the major testing element of phpxml, and all the bugs you supply me with I will fix ASAP and will re-release. I will not expire the old interface unit you can all seamlessly change to using the latest version, then upgrade to the DOM interface in your own time. I plan to release 1.N.6 this weekend with all the bugs that have been reported this week.
