v0.8

• Adds SLAXML:xml() to serialize the DOM back to XML.
• Adds nsPrefix properties to the DOM tables for elements and attributes (needed for round-trip serialization)
• Fixes test suite to work on Lua 5.2, 5.3.
• Fixes Issue #10, allowing DOM parser to handle comments/PIs after the root element.
• Fixes Issue #11, causing DOM parser to preserve whitespace text nodes on the document.
• Backwards-incompatible change: Removes doc.root key from DOM when simple=true is specified.

v0.7

Support for high-value entities (e.g. ê or ê is ê; € or € is €) decoded as UTF8.

v0.6.1

Minor bug fix: hexadecimal entities work (and don't cause a runtime error).

v0.6

• Fixes Issue #5 (and more): Namespace prefixes defined on element are now properly applied to the element itself and any attributes using them when the definitions appear later in source than the prefix usage. (Thanks Oliver Kroth.)

• The streaming parser now supplies the namespace prefix for elements and attributes. (This is backwards-compatible; it is a new extra parameter at the end of the function.)

  parser = SLAXML:parser{
    startElement = function(name,nsURI,nsPrefix)       end
    attribute    = function(name,value,nsURI,nsPrefix) end
    closeElement = function(name,nsURI)                end
  }

v0.5.3

Bugfix supporting the reserved xml namespace for attributes,e.g. xml:space="preserve".

v0.5.2

• Lua 5.2 compatible
• Parser now errors if it finishes without finding a root element,
  or if there are unclosed elements at the end.
  (Proper element pairing is not enforced by the parser, but is—as
  in previous releases—enforced by the DOM builder.)

v0.5.1

• <foo xmlns="bar"> now directly generates startElement("foo","bar")
  with no post callback for namespace required.

v0.4.3

• Bugfix to allow empty attributes, i.e. foo=""
• closeElement no longer includes namespace prefix in the name, includes the nsURI

v0.4

• DOM adds .parent references
• SLAXML.ignoreWhitespace is now :parse(xml,{stripWhitespace=true})
• "simple" mode for DOM parsing

v0.3

• Support namespaces for elements and attributes
  • <foo xmlns="barURI"> will call startElement("foo",nil) followed by
    namespace("barURI") (and then attribute("xmlns","barURI",nil));
    you must apply the namespace to your element after creation.
  • Child elements without a namespace prefix that inherit a namespace will
    receive startElement("child","barURI")
  • <xy:foo> will call startElement("foo","uri-for-xy")
  • <foo xy:bar="yay"> will call attribute("bar","yay","uri-for-xy")
  • Runtime errors are generated for any namespace prefix that cannot be resolved
• Add (optional) DOM parser that validates hierarchy and supports namespaces
