Revision history for Perl extension XML::Elemental.

2.11 Nov 24 2009

• Fixed another circular reference that was causing memeory leaks.

2.1 Jan 06 2008

• Dropped Class::Accessor dependency in favor of our own simple lighter weight accessors. Less is more. ;)
• Added in_element and ancestors methods to all nodes.
• Added the root_element method to XML::Elemental::Document.
• Added tests for root_element, in_element and ancestors.
• Fixed contents and attributes so they absolutely will return an empty ARRAY or HASH reference (respectively) if not set.

2.02 Jan 02 2008

• Nothing new. Just the intended version number for the last release.

2.012 Jan 02 2008

• I found a break in 2.01 whereby the root method would return the object being wrapped and not the proxy object. Small, but significant enough break that I decided to reverse changes made in 2.01. No more proxy object and Object::Destroyer. Instead I'm using the weaken method in Scalar::Util making it and Task::Weaken new dependencies as of this release. Weak reference was a new feature in Perl 5.6.0 thereby making that the required minimum version.

2.011 Jan 01 2008

• Nothing new. Just a distribution sans the %$!*#~@ OS X resource files. (Note to self add 'export COPYFILE_DISABLE=1' in .bash_profile on all Leopard machines.)

2.01 Dec 31 2007

• POTENTIAL BREAK: Rearranged code to address the boneheaded oversight of using a circular reference in the parse tree and failing to breaking up. This caused memory to leak. The change involved making XML::Elemental::Document a subclass of Object::Destroyer that works as a proxy to the real object implementation. This should be entirely transparent to existing code; however, there is the possibility that I overlooked some usage scenario that this change will break.

2.0 Nov 16 2005

• Convert to SAX-based system. (XML::Elemental::SAXHandler added to the distribution.)
