Revision history for Perl module XML::Simple
+2.04 Mar 10 2004
+ - integrated a patch from Michel Rodriguez
+ + new facility for removing extra levels of indirection (using
+ the new 'GroupTags' option)
+ + new facility for rolling the dreaded 'content' hash up into a
+ scalar if there are no keys left after array folding (using the
+ '-' prefix mode on the ContentKey option)
+ + new facility for doing variable substitution in the XML; variables
+ can be defined in Perl (using the new 'Variables' option) or in
+ the XML document (using the new 'VarAttr' option)
+ - added 'NormaliseSpace' option for tidying up hash keys and other
+ text content if required (feature requested by Alex Manoussakis)
+ - option names are now case-insensitive and can include underscores
+ - XMLin() and XMLout() are now aliased to xml_in() and xml_out() when
+ called as methods or imported explicitly
+ - option names passed to XML::Simple->new() are now validated

1.05 Aug 31 2000
- - code re-org to make internals all OO for easier extending
- - added 'noattr' option to tell XMLout() not to use attributes (only
- nested elements) and XMLin() to discard attributes
- - added 'suppressempty' option to tell XMLin what to do with elements
- with no attributes and no content
- - added 'parseropts' option for specifying options which should be
- passed to the underlying XML::Parser object
- - added 'forcecontent' option to force text content to parse to a
- hash value even if the element has no attributes
- - fix for forcearray getting applied to text content
- - integrated patch from Paul Lindner to work around filenames sometimes
- being seen as XML when running under mod_perl
- - integrated patch from Edward Avis: filename '-' means stdin
- - fixed bug where a missing key attribute could cause a crash
- - added a warning message for above situation
- - added 'support' for CDATA sections - they always worked, but now
- they're in the test suite which should ensure they keep working
- - fixed error message when caching enabled but parsing from filehandle
- - fixed empty elements being skipped by XMLout() when folding enabled
- - fixed text content of '0' being skipped by XMLout()
