Hi,
it is time for a new cxml release. I am planning to create the release
tarball in a week or so. It would be great if anyone using cxml could
do some testing until then.
Changes:
* Implemented DOM 2 Core. (I.e., namespace support.)
* Error handling overhaul. All wellformedness violations should now
be signalled as instances of CXML:WELL-FORMEDNESS-VIOLATION. We
also try to print line numbers.
* On Lisps without unicode support, there is now an (alternative) DOM
implementation that uses UTF-8-encoded lisp strings instead of runes
and rods.
* Some minor new features (whitespace normalization; parse-string has
been exported under the new name cxml:parse-rod, ...)
Incompatible API changes:
* On Lisps without unicode support, the parser recodes to UTF-8 by
default now. (Anyone using recoders manually can suppress the
default recoding using :recode nil.)
* dom:make-dom-builder has been replaced with two separate functions,
rune-dom:make-dom-builder and utf8-dom:make-dom-builder. There is a
nickname cxml-dom on the former package if the Lisp supports Unicode
or on the latter otherwise. (The utf8-dom package is not defined if
the Lisp supports Unicode.)
* The unparse-document-* functions have been removed in favour of
map-document.
* Sink functions have changed. Beware that
make-character-stream-sink happens to have the same name as an older
functions but works differently.
Thanks,
David
