* Removed "!==" and "===" operators.
* Fixed bug with Sarissa.updateContentFromNode(), thanks to Javinto (SF user) andHartmut Wynen for finding the bug and solution respectively.
* Refactored the callback stuff in Sarissa.updateContentFromXXX methods. They work alot better and with appropriate signatures now. Sarissa.updateContentFromNode now uses no callbacks since it's not an async method.

Changelog for 0.9.6.1:
* Fixed bug in Sarissa.updateContentFromNode thanks to Franky Braem
* Added Safari DOMParser support thanks to a wonderfull idea published
by Nate Steiner on his blog that utilizes the data: URI scheme and
Erik Arvidsson that suggested this could easily be wrapped to emulate
DOMParser. Many thanks to cedric for pointing out the above (between other things).
* Removed XSLTProcessor.tranfrormToFragment (didn't work anyway)
* Added .load support for Opera thanks to cedric
* Added support for HTML nodes in Sarissa.serialize
* Tried to make Safari sniffing more strict thanks to Phil Green who pointed out spoofing is easy
* Fixed bugs thanks to feedback by Vincenzo Alcamo

* Deprecated stuff as warned in 0.9.4 ;-)
* Big change: loadXML is no longer used, as there's no way to emulate it in Opera.
So i just removed it directly; to load an XML string to a DOM, you have to use the
DOMParser object. No way to do anything like that in Safari though.
* Added Minesweeper as first sample application, original code kindly donated by
Sean Whalen, also maintainer of it; welcome Sean!
* Fixed Opera and Safari issues thanks to Phil Endecott and Conrad Chu
* Fixed Sarissa.getText bug (ignored CDATA) thanks to Noah Bast
* Added Sarissa.moveChildNodes and a third optional parameter to Sarissa.copyChildNodes (preserved old behavior by default)
* Fixed bug in Sarissa.copyChildNodes thanks to Brad Koehn (if i only had 20$ for each download ;-)
* Upgraded JSDoc and ECMAUnit

Fixed long lived readyState bug in finally clause in XMLDocument.prototype.load. Added var before for loop indexes. Thanks to daneroo for the bugreport!

Sarissa was 'adversely affecting Array'. This bug was there since the very first version and was discovered by rflaherty, who also provided the initial patch. Now sarissa inherits the Array from a new class instead of extending it directly. Enjoy!

With support for Mozlla's XSLTProcessor on IE (reusable stylesheets), utilization of MSXML 5.0 progIDs and (since 0.9.0) improoved JSDoc based documentation. GPL/LGPL.

Added support for Element.transformNode and Element.transformNodeToObject (previously supported as methods of Document objects only).

Now you can

var elem = document.getElementById("foo");
var nodes = elem.selectNodes("foo/bar[@fooable='true']");

Just fixed a bug in XMLDocument.prototype._sarissa_clearDOM. Thanks to Paul for pointing this one out.

Some features where broken for Moz 1.4 but everything is fixed now. Enjoy ;-)
