[<nig...@us...>]

Many many thanks go to Sam Blum for not only coding most of the headline fe=
atures of this release, but also for guiding me through the incredibly scar=
y first steps of CVS and WinCvs.

<ExtractFromChangeLog>

  Phpxml version 1.N.X is technically a branch from the phpxml project avai=
lable at http://www.phpxml.org/. Development seemed to be going much faster=
 than the new releases of phpxml were, ie 125 messages to the list in 3 wee=
ks, so I took it upon myself to release 1.N.X versions in the mean time. I =
am still hoping that Michael will "approve" the 1.N.X releases, and that th=
ey will therefore become not a branch but 1.X releases instead. I suppose i=
n some ways this is NOT a branch until a 1.1 release of phpxml comes out an=
yway :o). Discussion for this module occurs on the us...@li... ma=
illist.

  Known Bugs Outstanding:

    a.. Deleting elements is very slow: Removing element 9 in a list of 10 =
will cause ALL node paths to be re-calculated, not just the 10th node which=
 needs to be.  This becomes cripplingly slow as soon as your xml is of a se=
nsible size.=20
  Version 1.N.5 - 25th September

    a.. Text content is output in correct order: If you have "<P> A <B> B <=
/B> C </P>" this will be output as "<P> A <B> B </B> C </P>" not "<P> A C <=
B> B </B> </P>" as it used to be before this version. Our huge thanks go to=
 Sam Blum bs...@us... for this fix.=20
    b.. 50% speed enhancements on reading and searching: The add_content fu=
nction got a serious look over by Sam and has managed to make seriously vis=
ible speed increases. Sam Blum bs...@us...=20
    c.. New DOM style user interface The public interface was renamed to us=
e DOM style function names. This should make the learning curve easier for =
newcommers to the class. The old style interface is still supported, but is=
 unlikely to be in future releases.=20
    d.. Class name change to XPath After some discussion and thought, it se=
emed that XPath was a much better name than "XML"" for the class. XML doesn=
't really tell you what the class does, whereas XPath describes that it is =
a class that will allow you to search using the XPath standard. ie exactly =
what it is. The modification functions are kinda added 'cos the tree is alr=
eady there, but principly this module is about searching using XPath and re=
trieving the content.=20
    e.. Filename changed to xpath.class.phpThe filename has also been chang=
ed to reflect the change of name for the class=20
    f.. Documentation added to the 1.N branch In the form of a perl script =
that automatically produces an XML file, that is combined with an XSL to pr=
oduce the documentation. This should allow you to quickly update the docume=
ntation when you make your own changes.=20
    g.. Stacks of style changes. Re-grouping of functions, comments change =
to //, etc, etc.=20
