ParsedXML changes

ParsedXML 1.4

Features Added

- Switched the test suite over to use ZopeTestCase.

- Updated UI so that the XML edit screen is the first screen
seen, not the DOM screen.

- UI is UTF-8 by default now, the same as the default encoding
of the XML. XML 'encoding' setting in the XML declaration
other than UTF-8 are supported by the upload, but the XML text
will be converted to unicode internally and will display as
UTF-8, the default encoding.

You can also use the encoding in the XML declaration in the
edit entry, but you will be unlikely to get it right as the
interactions between various encodings becomes rather
complex. If you have XML text in a non-UTF-8 encoding upload
it as a file rather than copy and paste it.

- Switched over to new-style security declarations and added a
few.

Bugs Fixed

- Cleaned out tests so they all pass. This was done
(unfortunately) by disabling some failing tests.

- Some encoding issues should be more sane now.

Misc

- Updated license to ZPL 2.0.

- get rid of unused HTML writing support.

- Removed old Printer.py module (PrettyPrinter works better and
has more functionality).

- get rid of obsolete delegation through StrIO module to get StringIO.

ParsedXML 1.3.1

Bugs Fixed

- Bugfix/performance improvement. Do not rely on getPersistentDocument()
but instead use acquisition parent. This fixes a memory leak
triggered when doing 'document.documentElement', and also likely
improves performance when accessing the DOM through the ManageableDOM
wrappers.

- The Zope Find tab should now not give an error anymore when searching
with ids.

- Use the One True Way to import expat now ('from xml.parsers
import expat').

ParsedXML 1.3.0

Features

- All element nodes now have a _element_id id. This id is guaranteed
to be unique in the document, though which id an element has may
change in a reparse.

- NodePath system for creating various paths to nodes. This can
be based on 'child' (child node index), 'element_id', or
'robust', which is not very robust as yet in some ways, but
should be resistent to quite a few changes to the document.

- added pretty printing feature. A pretty print button renders
the document in pretty printed form, but does not save this
changed version (you can do so yourself).

Bugs Fixed

- Removed ParsedXML's Expat, introduced dependency on PyXML's
pyexpat instead (or just compile your own). This gets rid of
lots of install hassles, especially on Windows. Just install
PyXML.

- An ongoing attempt to bring sanity to the unit test story.

- Avoid XML-garbling bug in Printer by using PrettyPrinter.

- various bugfixes in the DOM.

ParsedXML 1.2.1

Features

- pyexpat.c is now in sync with Python's and PyXML's version.

ParsedXML 1.2.0

Bugs Fixed

- Tests are now more conformant with Zope unit testing guidelines.

- Should work with Python 2.1/Zope 2.4, but not all the way
there yet (parser segfault..)

- new version of PyExpat

Features

- Access to DOM from Zope environment sped up by new DOMProxy
implementation

ParsedXML 1.1b1

Bugs Fixed

- Fixed an ExpatBuilder bug that caused a DOM reference to be
leaked when parsing occured at the document. There is still a
leak for fragment parsing that we're looking into.

Features

- ZCatalog support added

- ZCache support added

ParsedXML 1.1a1

Bugs Fixed

- Version numbers make more sense :)

Features

- The value returned by get_size() is cached, which will often
speed up the management view of an instance's container.

ParsedXML 1.0

Bugs Fixed

- Problems with Attr Node manipulation not being reflected by
the getAttribute methods of their Elements and vice versa
fixed.

- Erroneous position information for parse error output on
subnodes fixed.

- Default attributes are noticed by the parser and printer, and
the relevent DOM methods work.

Features

- ManageableDOM Nodes can find the persistent Document wrapper
when it has been installed in a Zope ObjectManager. This
object, rather than a newly created ManageableDocument
wrapper, is returned when available by OwnerDocument calls.
This allows Zopish navigation and discovery out of the
Document, helps shorten acquisition paths, and fixes some bugs
with manipulation at the Document.

- ManageableDOM's usage of namespaces for parsing is now
optional and settable.

- The DOM 2 Traversal interface has been fleshed out, although
support for visiblity and roots is not complete.

ParsedXML 0.1b3

Bugs Fixed

- Yet a few more DOM bugs fixed.

- Fixed a distribution error that was causing build problems
under Solaris.

ParsedXML 0.1b2

Bugs Fixed

- Many bugs found and fixed as we hammered out new DOM tests,
especially in namespace usage, attribute printing, and
attribute children.

Features

- Several speedups throughout the code.

- ManageableDOM refactored into several base classes to make
extension easier.
