Ok, PyXML 0.8.1 is finally out, and contains the Expat bug fixes we've
all been waiting for!  Whoever is running nightly tests these days
should try installing this package for the Python they're using to run
the tests.

This package includes the right version of the Expat sources, so
there's no need to install any other packages.

Subject: [XML-SIG] PyXML 0.8.1 is released
Date: Mon, 16 Sep 2002 10:48:01 +0200 (CEST)

Version 0.8.1 of the Python/XML distribution is now available.  It
should be considered a beta release, and can be downloaded from
the following URLs:

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/pyxml/PyXML-0.8.1.tar.gz
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/pyxml/PyXML-0.8.1.win32-py2.1.exe
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/pyxml/PyXML-0.8.1.win32-py2.2.exe
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/pyxml/PyXML-0.8.1-2.2.i386.rpm


Changes in this version, compared to 0.8:

  * Various bug fixes:
    - tracing works now with pyexpat
    - fix registry key for MSIE XBEL support
    - correct ill-formedness of xmlproc.dtd2schema
    - avoid adding comments and PIs in the internal subset as Document
      children when building minidom trees
    - properly close files in xml.dom.ext.reader.*

  * XSLT is not installed anymore by default, specify --with-xslt
    if desired

  * Update Expat to 1.95.5

  * Add features to xml.parsers.expat:
    - new method "UseForeignDTD"
    - new attribute "features"

  * Update to 25 July 2002 LS spec for xml.dom.xmlbuilder.  Use
    expatbuilder if no parser is given to
    xml.dom.minidom.parse[String].

  * Fix many obscure DOM bugs

  * Define and document the implementation-defined behaviors of
    cloneNode() for xml.dom.minidom.

  * Use urllib2 instead of urllib throughout.


The Python/XML distribution contains the basic tools required for
processing XML data using the Python programming language, assembled
into one easy-to-install package.  The distribution includes parsers
and standard interfaces such as SAX and DOM, along with various other
useful modules.

The package currently contains:

        * XML parsers: Pyexpat (Jack Jansen), xmlproc (Lars Marius
          Garshol), sgmlop (Fredrik Lundh).
        * SAX interface (Lars Marius Garshol)
        * minidom DOM implementation (Paul Prescod, others)
        * 4DOM and 4XPath from Fourthought (Uche Ogbuji, Mike Olson)
        * Schema implementations: TREX (James Tauber)
        * Various utility modules and functions (various people)
        * Documentation and example programs (various people)

The code is being developed bazaar-style by contributors from the
Python XML Special Interest Group, so please send comments and
questions to <xml-sig@python.org>.  Bug reports may be filed on
SourceForge:

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?group_id=3D6473&atid=3D106473
