Revision history for Perl extension XML::LibXML
1.95 Tue Mar 6 10:35:26 IST 2012

t/03doc.t :

namespace, a behaviour which was changed in a recent libxml2
release.

[QUOTE]
Updated how legacy parser local callbacks are utilized by
init_callbacks so that the XML::LibXML::InputCallback object doesn't
have to be temporarily modified during the parsing process.
This change could break code for users that have subclassed
XML::LibXML::InputCallback and overridden the init_callbacks method

cases with old buggy libxml2 versions)

(fixes bug 1968, too)
* slighlty more strict parse_string behavior (now same as when
parsing fh, etc): e.g. parse_string("<foo:bar>"), i.e prefix without
NS declaration, raises error unless recover(1) is used
* documentation fixes/updates
* slightly updated test set to reflect the new slightly more strict
parsing.
