developer is officially maintaining the package.
The rationale for changing this from "tech-pkg" to "pkgsrc-users" is
that it implies that any user can try to maintain the package (by
submitting patches to the mailing list). Since the folks most likely
to care about the package are the folks that want to use it or are
already using it, this would leverage the energy of users who aren't
developers.

- fixed a pointer initialization in parse_xml_chunk(), fixes
random several segmentation faults on document fragments.
- added NSCLEAN feature to the parser interface (bug 4560)
- minor code cleanups
- updated libxml2 blacklist.
- fixed croak while requesting nodeName() of CDATA sections (bug 1694).
- more documentation updates
module directory has changed (eg. "darwin-2level" vs.
"darwin-thread-multi-2level").
binary packages of perl modules need to be distinguishable between
being built against threaded perl and unthreaded perl, so bump the
PKGREVISION of all perl module packages and introduce
BUILDLINK_RECOMMENDED for perl as perl>=5.8.5nb5 so the correct
dependencies are registered and the binary packages are distinct.

in the process. (More information on tech-pkg.)
Bump PKGREVISION and BUILDLINK_DEPENDS of all packages using libtool and
installing .la files.
Bump PKGREVISION (only) of all packages depending directly on the above
via a buildlink3 include.
- added cloneNode to XML::LibXML::Document

- Michael K. Edwards' patch applied with some amendments from Petr Pajas:
* add debian build files (I added SKIP_SAX_INSTALL flag for
Makefile.PL and changed the patch so that it doesn't disable
sax parser registration completely by default, and rather made
debian build use this flag)
* general cleanup (use SV_nolen, etc.)
* SAX parsers cleanup
* general error reporting code cleanup/rewrite, try preventing
possible memory leaks
* recover(1) now triggers warnings (disable with $SIG{__WARN__}=sub {})
* slighlty more strict parse_string behavior (now same as when
parsing fh, etc): e.g. parse_string("<foo:bar>"), i.e prefix without
NS declaration, raises error unless recover(1) is used
* documentation fixes/updates
* slightly updated test set to reflect the new slightly more strict
parsing.

This module is an interface to the gnome libxml2 DOM parser (no SAX
parser support yet), and the DOM tree. It also provides an
XML::XPath-like findnodes() interface, providing access to the XPath
API in libxml2.
