    I was wondering if anyone knew if the "XML Tools" plugin is being updated and supported. I noticed that it doesn't seem be present in the Notepad++ Plugins project in SourceForge. The files are still at http://www.calodox.scene.org/morbac/other/, but there doesn't seem to be any activity  since late 2006. I'm also not sure if it's functionality isn't redundant, so maybe the author lost interest.

      Hi,

      No, it isn't dead... I'm working on version 2 which will use a new XML parser: the new release will be based on libXML (the previous ones were based on expat).

      libXML offers more encoding supports and will allow me to add new features, like xpath evaluation and (I hope) xml schema/dtd validation.

      I've already adapted all the functions of version 1.x to new library and I'm now working on new xpath evaluation function.

      I think I'll post a new release during the week.

        Nicolas,

        Could you send me your current working version source code, so that I can check if it works under 95/98/ME ?
        If it does, then I would like to include XML Tools plugins in the future official release.
