to trigger/signal a rebuild for the transition 5.10.1 -> 5.12.1.
The list of packages is computed by finding all packages which end
up having either of PERL5_USE_PACKLIST, BUILDLINK_API_DEPENDS.perl,
or PERL5_PACKLIST defined in their make setup (tested via
"make show-vars VARNAMES=..."), minus the packages updated after
the perl package update.
sno@ was right after all, obache@ kindly asked and he@ led the
way. Thanks!

to trigger/signal a rebuild for the transition 5.8.8 -> 5.10.0.
The list of packages is computed by finding all packages which end
up having either of PERL5_USE_PACKLIST, BUILDLINK_API_DEPENDS.perl,
or PERL5_PACKLIST defined in their make setup (tested via
"make show-vars VARNAMES=...").
1.66
- Perl-thread support contributed by Tim Brody [rt.cpan.org #31945]
- fix [rt.cpan.org #30610] possible segmentation fault when importing nodes from a document to an element created with XML::LibXML::Element->new
- fix [rt.cpan.org #30261] Segmentation fault when extracting elements from an XML chunk
- make Makefile.PL require Perl 5.6.1
- minor fixes and additions to the documentation
- portability patch from [rt.cpan.org #29627]
- give registered Ns declarations precedence over document-specific ones
in XML::LibXML::XPathContext; fixes [rt.cpan.org #29650]
1.65
- fix bug in t/40reader.t revealed by a bugfix in Test::More 0.71 (Jonathan Rockway)
- fix possible SIGSEGV when PI's or attrs created with
createDocument can get garbage-collected after their owning
document (old-standing bug suddenly caught by XML::Compile regression tests)
- skip tests for unsupported features on unsupported versions of Perl/libxml2
- make Reader interface require Perl 5.8 (patches to extend to 5.6 are welcome)
1.64
- fix reconcilation of the "xml" namespace [rt.cpan.org #26450]
- make tests pass with libxml2 2.9.29 - PI regression tests now
accept "" as data of an empty PI [rt.cpan.org #27659]
- strip-off UTF8 flag with $node->toString($format,1) for consistent
behavior independent on the actual document encoding
- fix in XML::LibXML::Reader::nextSiblingElment

- skip tests that require Encode module if not available (perl 5.6)
- finally removed the iterator() method deprecated since 1.54
- set_document_locator support in XML::LibXML::SAX::Parser
- SYNOPSIS sections of the docs now mention which module to use
and which other manpage to look into for inherited methods
- XML::LibXML::Namespace API fixed in order to achieve
an agreement between the docs and the implementation
Pkgsrc changes:
- Added support for installation to DESTDIR.
- Registration of the parser happens through the pkginstall framework
(INSTALL/DEINSTALL) now, thus making the MESSAGE file unnecessary.
Setting SKIP_SAX_INSTALL in the environment and replacing
PERL5_INSTALLVENDORLIB in the install scripts is necessary for this to
work.
Changes since version 1.62:
==============================
1.63
- added no_network parser flag
- added support for exclusive canonicalization (http://www.w3.org/TR/xml-exc-c14n/)
- make XInclude reflect parser flags
- documentation fixes
- better namespace reconciliation implemented by Tim Brody
- $doc->toString always returns octets
- $doc->actualEncoding returns UTF8 if no document encoding is declared
(unlike $doc->getEncoding, which returns undef)
1.62
- interface to libxml2's pull-parser XML::LibXML::Reader
(initiated by Heiko Klein)
- make error messages intended to the user report the line of the
application call rather than that of the internal XS call
- XML::LibXML::Attr->serializeContent added (convenience function)
- fix getAttributeNode etc. w.r.t. #FIXED attributes (as well as some
cases with old buggy libxml2 versions)
- warn if runtime libxml2 is older than the one used at the compile time
- if compiled against libxml2 >= 2.6.27, new parse_html_* implementation is used
allowing encoding and other options to be passed to the parser
- DOM-compliant nodeNames: #comment, #text, #cdata, #document, #document-fragment
- toString on empty text node returns empty string, not undef
- cloneNode copies attributes on an element as required by the DOM spec
Package changes:
- adjust dependencies
- mark conflicting with p5-XML-LibXML-XPathContext package
Please note that this version includes the perl module
XML::LibXML::XPathContext. This module is also provided by the
textproc/p5-XML-LibXML-XPathContext package which is about to be deleted.
Changes since last packaged version (1.58):
1.61
- get{Elements,Children}By{TagName,TagNameNS,LocalName} now
obey wildcards '*', getChildrenByLocalName was added.
- XML::LibXML::XPathContext merged in
- many new tests added
- the module should now be fully compatibile with libxml2 >= 2.6.16
(some older versions compile but have problems with namespaced attributes)
- threads test skipped by default
- documentation updates (namely DOM namespace conformance in XML::LibXML::DOM)
- added setNamespaceDecl{URI,Prefix}
- get/setAttribute(NS)? implementation made xmlns aware
- all sub-modules have the same version as XML::LibXML
1.60
- getElementsById corrected to getElementById and the old name kept
as an alias. Also re-implemented without XPath for improved
performance
- DOM Level 3 method $attr->isId() added
- make {get,set,has}Attribute(Node)? methods work with full
attribute names rather than just localnames.
(Although DOM Level 3 is not very clear about the behavior of
these methods for an attributes with namespaces, it certainly
does not imply that getAttribute('foo') should return value of a
bar:foo, which was the old behavior.)
- added publicId and systemId methods to XML::LibXML::Dtd
1.59
- new parser and callback code (Christian Glahn)
- new XML::LibXML::InputCallback class
- many bug fixes (including several memory leaks)
- documentation and regression fixes and enhancements
- Perl wrappers for parse_html_*
- make sure parse_* methods are not called on class (bug 11126)
- DOM Layer 3 conformance fixes:
* lookupNamespaceURI(empty_or_undef) now returns the default NS
- faster getChildrenByTagNameNS implementation
- remove the SGML parser code no longer supported by libxml (Michael Kröll)
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.
1.58
- 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.
addresses PR pkg/28619 from H. Todd Fujinaka.
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 XML RelaxNG validation interface (XML::LibXML::RelaxNG)
- 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.
