Subject: [ruby-talk:19213] [ANN] NQXML v1.1.0

NQXML is a pure-Ruby XML parser. As always, NQXML can be found at
http://www.io.com/~jimm/downloads/nqxml/ as well as in the RAA at
http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/raa.html.

Changes in version 1.1.0:

* The new NQXML::Dispatcher class by David Alan Black implements a
  context-sensitive callback mechanism. Extremely useful and usable.

* The XML version tag isn't a processing instruction, so the new
  NQXML::XMLDecl has been introduced. The class
  NQXML::ProcessingInstruction is no longer a subclass of
  NQXML::NamedAttributes because a processing instruction is defined to
  contain a string of characters, not named attributes. Because of this,
  all of the parsers now return an NQXML::XMLDecl entity when they see the
  <?xml version="1.0"?> tag.

* NQXML::Writer has a new boolean attribute called prettify that you can
  modify. When true, it tells the writer to add newlines after tags. See
  the example code below and in the examples directory.

* On input, all line endings (specifically, <cr> and <cr><lf>) are
  translated to a single <lf>. This used to work only if the input data
  used the native line ending format (that is, if the input data's line
  endings were the same as Ruby's $/ variable). Added new tests to make
  sure this works.

* Removed alias :peekMatches from the tokenizer because it is not used
  anywhere in the code. Removed alias :peekChars and removed argument to
  peekChar because neither is used in the code anywhere.
