MIKEWONG / XML-Dumper-0.67 / Changes 
Revision history for Perl extension XML::Dumper.

0.67  Tue Aug 19 02:45:55 PDT 2003
    - Broke tests out to document the tests and group similar tests together.
      Numbered tests reflect feature additions; named tests reflect bug
      reports and patches.
    - Finally incorporated GZip header signature test code by Richard Evans.
      Thanks for your patience (and code!), Richard. It works great!
    - Andreas Koenig corrected ownership issue; CPAN module now correctly
      downloads the latest version of this module
    - Corrected documentation which removes EXPORT_OK lie. Functional
      version of xml2pl() and pl2xml() are, indeed, exported by default.
    - Removed Credits section, preferring rather to credit people in the
      blow-by-blow updates

0.65  Mon Jul 21 14:07:17 PDT 2003
    - Applied patch sent it by Florian Hinzmann which documents profile.pl
      for the Debian packaging tool lintian. The profile.pl script now
      has a =head NAME POD section.

0.64  Sat Jul  5 19:22:30 PDT 2003
    - Changed INIT optional Compression::Zlib dependency to BEGIN block
      for mod_perl compatibility. Startup now issues no errors due to
      XML::Dumper.

0.63  Wed Jun 18 14:18:00 PDT 2003
    - Added 'use warnings' pragma and applied patch to bugs. Both the bug 
      report and the patch were supplied by Honza Holecek. Thanks, Honza!

0.62  Sun Jan 12 19:48:12 PST 2003
    - Added the ability to dump a DTD for a valid XML document. Investigating
      more interesting forms of XML data (given DTD or Schema, slurp XML into
      Perl and back). Corrected errors in POD, Changes, README, and tests.

0.60  Tue Jan  7 22:00:15 PST 2003
    - Responded to some old comments by crazyinsomniac, from Perl Monks. 
      The module now dumps and undumps with or without the OO-ish interface. 
      I might add the punDump feature, but the feedback from pun-loving Perl 
      monks may lead to pun-demonium.

0.59  Thu Nov 28 22:43:51 PST 2002
    - Responded to bug report by Peter S. May. XML::Dumper now correctly
      interprets undef() values as being undefined as opposed to being a zero-
      length string. 
    - Added capability to distinguish the difference between a reference to
      a zero-length string and a reference to an undefined value. While the
      use model escapes me at the moment, it was the consistent and right
      thing to do.
    - Moved credits and changes from perldoc to Changes file.

0.58  Thu Nov 28 13:22:18 PST 2002
    - Added optional feature to read and write zlib-compressed XML. Added
      optional dependency to Compress::Zlib.

0.57
    - Responded to bug report by Niels Vegter. Code now better handles literal
      scalar references. 
    - Changed the rest of the test suite to scale better, using some more of 
      the features of Test::Harness

0.56
    - Added file reading and writing features

0.55
    - Removed documentation of non-implemented code, fixed MANIFEST errors.
