    add the XML::Parser of use XML::Reader qw(slurp_xml);
    Therefore, the correct line is:

0.66 - 2018-01-30T10:00:00+01:00

    replace reference to scalar in $self->{rvalue} by a plain scalar.

  [DEPRECATIONS]

0.37 - 2010-06-02T13:47:18+01:00

  [DOCUMENTATION]

  - The POD documentation has headers (=head1 and =head2) that are too
    complicated, i.e. they contain characters like '(', ')' and '>'. This confuses
    the POD Parser. This version simplifies the headers. (all 3 POD files are
    affected: 'Reader.pm', 'Reader_fr.pod' and 'Reader_de.pod'

0.36 - 2010-06-01T16:32:23+01:00

  [BUG FIX]

  - For {parse_pi => 1}, fix a bug with $rdr->dec_hash->{standalone}
    used to be '1' and '' which is false, 'yes' and 'no' is correct

  - For {filter => 5} function rstem() is redundant ==> replace function rstem() by path()

  - Fix a bug in functions is_text() / is_value()

  - Allow the writing of comments and PI if {branch => '*'} is selected

  - For {filter => 5}: restrict { branch => '...' } to { branch => '*' } only

0.33 - 2010-04-25T09:15:52+01:00

  [ENHANCEMENTS]

  - For {filter => 5} you can now have duplicate roots (which was not possible before)

  - added a new function $self->rstem

  - allow relative roots, such as 'tag1/tag2' or '//tag1/tag2'

  - allow branch => '*' which will effectively collect all events and construct
    a sub-tree in XML format, that XML-format has the correct translations
    char < into &lt;
    char > into &gt;
    char & into &amp;
    char ' into &apos;
    char " into &quot;

    XML::Parser has not been installed. To fix that problem, I have to add the
    correct module dependency in Build.PL and in Makefile.PL.
