Subject:  Version 2.10 of XML::Parser

I've uploaded a new version (2.10) of XML::Parser to

http://www.netheaven.com/~coopercc/xmlparser/intro.html.

This uses a new test version of expat from James Clark for supporting namespaces.

Here's the relevant part of the Changes file:

2.10 Fri Sep 25 18:36:46 1998

Uses expat Version 19980924 (with local patch - see Expat/expat/xmlparse/xmlparse.c.diff)
Use newSVpvn when PERL_VERSION >= 5.005
Completed xmlfilter
Added support for namespace processing:
- Namespaces option to XML::Parser and XML::Parser::Expat
- Two new methods in Expat: [1] namespace - to return namespace associated with name; [2] eq_name - compare 2 names for equality across namespaces.
Use expat's new SetDefaultHandlerExpand instead of SetDefaultHandler so that entity expansion may continue even if the default handler is set.
Moved test.pl back up main level and changed to work with XML::Parser
Added tests for namespaces

Also (I should have put this in the Changes file), there's now a Comment handler type supported.

Read the new sections of the pod about what element and attribute names look like when you've got namespaces turned on.
