Subject: [ANN] Libxml-Ruby 0.4.0pre01

Libxml-Ruby 0.4.0pre01 is now available from the Libxml-Ruby project on  
rubyforge (http://rubyforge.org). This is a developmental source-only  
snapshot taken from the current 0.4 development effort, and is intended  
for developer evaluation and testing only. It can be downloaded via this  
direct link:

	http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/15915/libxml-0.4.0pre01.tar.gz

This release is the first to contain many of the new 0.4 features,  
including:

	* Laurent Sansonetti's XML::Reader interface
	    A fast XML parser featuring a C#-XmlTextReader-like stream interface.

	* New XML::HTMLParser interface
	    A non-verifying HTML 4.0 parser with API compatible with the
	    XML parser ones. Should be able to parse "real world" HTML,
	    even if severely broken from a specification point of view.	

	* Reimplemented SAX parser
	    A new API for the existing SAX parser that drastically improves
	    performance.

We're keen to receive bug reports for this release, especially since  
there's a bug-day planned in the not-too distant future ;).

Merry Christmas to all, and best wishes for the new year.
