- Version numbering change, to reflect that this is the first
release of XML::Xerces to require Xerces-C-1.5.2
- Unicode now works! I modified all I/O between Perl and
Xerces-C to use transcoders to properly convert between
Perl's internal UTF-8 format and Xerces-C's internal UTF-16
format.
- -
+ - IDOM operators (== and !=) now work
+ - I?DOM_Attr::setAttribute() will now accept integer and
+ floating point values as well as strings, so you no longer
+ need to wrap them in strings.
+ - New sample application: IDOMPrint.pl
+ - All overloaded methods (except DOM API) are now supported.

- Required version: nightly build 2001-10-15

+ Xerces.pm now supports Unicode. Since Unicode support wasn't
+ added to Perl until 5.6.0, you will need to upgrade in order to
+ use this and future versions of Xerces.pm. Upgrading to at least
+ to the latest stable release, 5.6.1, is recommended, but if you
+ already have 5.6.0 installed it will work fine.

+ If you plan on using Unicode, I *strongly* recommend upgrading to
+ Perl-5.7.2, the latest development version. There have been
+ significant improvements to Perl's Unicode support.
