Subject: [ruby-talk:27559] ANN: REXML 1.2

Hi,

Sorry about how frequently I'm releasing these.  Ruby is just too 
efficient.  I wanted to post this mainly because REXML now passes the OASIS 
valid tests at 100%.  This means that REXML now supports both UTF-8 and 
UTF-16 sources.

1.2: Added to_a to Parent (and took out dup_children) and Element.elements. 
This means that you can get all of the children of an Element with 
Element.to_a, or just the Element children of an Element with 
Element.elements.to_a. As sugar, you can also do 
Element.elements.to_a(xpath). insert_after and insert_before now take 
arbitrary XPaths, and will insert anywhere into the document tree. Updated 
the tutorial. Added UTF16 support; REXML now passes the OASIS 'valid' tests 
100%.

Bug fixes and speed tweeks are next.  All of the votes so far have been for 
changing the default behavior of write(), but I won't "close the voting" or 
change the behavior until this weekend.

Thanks.
