Revision history for XML-MyXML
0.095 Mar 6th, 2007
Added support for parsing the simplest and non-recursive form of <!ENTITY> markup
Added optional 'tidy' flag to &object_to_xml, &simple_to_xml and ->to_xml
Corrected bug where hex numerical entities couldn't contain capital letters ('A'..'F')
0.094 Mar 6th, 2007
Added a space before the '?>' mark in the XML declaration introduced in 0.093

0.093 Mar 5th, 2007
Parser will now ignore all special markup instead of dying on it (except for CDATA sections which it can handle since v0.061)
XML documents produced with this module may now have an XML declaration in the beginning (<?xml ... ?>)
Almost all functions and methods accept flags now
Wrote features & limitations in the documentation
Wrote a 'function flags' section in the documentation
0.092 Mar 5th, 2007
check_xml, which used to be able to check XML strings only, can now check XML files also
Added an optional 'soft' mode to xml_to_simple and xml_to_object functions, which returns undef instead of dying in case of error

0.091 Mar 4th, 2007
xml_to_simple and xml_to_object can now accept a filename for an argument
Minor alterations in the documentation
0.09 Mar 3rd, 2007
simple_to_xml($simple_ref) has been changed to allow the argument to be a hashref, an arrayref or a mixed structure
0.083 Mar 3rd, 2007
Changed the way that flags are set. Instead of a string such as 'strip internal', it's with a hashref { strip => 1, internal => 1 }. Module stops execution and informs about the change, if programmer tries to set flags with the old way.
0.082 Mar 3rd, 2007
Added optional 'strip' mode for the &xml_to_simple function and the $obj->simplify method, that strips surrounding whitespace from texts
Added optional 'internal' mode for the $obj->simplify method, that return a hashref only of the contents of the top element
0.081 Mar 3rd, 2007
Added an 'internal' mode for the &xml_to_simple function
Added a 'strip' mode for the ->value method that strips surrounding whitespace
0.08 Mar 1st, 2007

$element->value returns empty string ('') if element is empty, instead of null
