HaXml-1.09 ---------- We announce a refresh release of the HaXml toolkit for manipulating XML documents from Haskell. There are no major new features here, just a bunch of bugfixes, and a few incremental changes in the API. * ghc-6.0 is supported. * hmake is no longer required to build HaXml, provided you have ghc --make. * A new combinator 'path' has been added to Text.XML.HaXml.Combinators, allowing queries to be expressed in the style of XPath. * Some of the signatures in Text.XML.HaXml.Xml2Haskell have changed, in particular, there are new functions readXml and showXml that convert to/from Strings, hGetXml and hPutXml that use file Handles, and the old functions that use filenames are renamed to fReadXml and fWriteXml. * DtdToHaskell previously generated incorrect code for reading an XML element given the following DTD fragment: <!ELEMENT foo (a,b)+ > * The parser had a fault when reading conditional sections nested inside an IGNORE section in a DTD. * In Text.XML.HaXml.Html.Generate, all functions now generate HTML tags in lower-case rather than upper-case, to conform to the XHTML standard. * DtdToHaskell now accepts NOTATION types for attributes. They are treated just like enumeration types. * If you give an output filename as a command-line argument to DtdToHaskell, it now uses the filename as the basis for the generated module name. * Fixed a configuration bug on the Cygwin platform with ghc-5.04.x. * make install now places the executables (DtdToHaskell, Xtract, Validate, MkOneOf, Canonicalise) into the directory specified by ./configure --prefix=...
