[ruby-talk:13583] [ANN] NQXML v0.6.0

NQXML is a pure Ruby implementation of a non-validating XML processor. It
includes an XML tokenizer, a SAX-style streaming XML parser, a DOM-style
tree parser, and an XML writer.

Some of the changes in version 0.6.0: 

    * Fixed general entity substitution. Given a general entity <!ENTITY
      foo "<p>bar</p>">, the content text "x&foo;x" will now properly be
      split into five entities: the text "x", a start-tag named "p", the
      text "bar", an end-tag named "p", and the text "x".

    * Implemented parameter entity substitution.

    * NQXML::Text entities no longer compare their :source attribute values
      in the == method. This is because we can't keep track of the source
      during the complex process of general entity substitution (where new
      XML tags may be introduced in the middle of the text, for example).

    * The tokenizer no longer hands XML source to the NQXML::Text
      constructor. Given entity reference substitution, we are no longer
      sure we have the original XML source.

    * All line breaks normalized on input to #xA.

    * Attribute values are normalized.

    * Added more well-formedness checks.
