  Well there is no new feature, yet. The main change is that all errors
from the XML parser module are now processed via a few routines at the
top of parser.c . Those routine in turn call the existing APIs. However
it should be relatively easy now to plug a new error intercerption layer
at a "logical" level. The routines get the parser context if available,
the xmlParserErrors value and some extra arguments for better error 
reporting. Now, I expect interested people to discuss the kind of
interfaces they would like, and if made in time I will provide this 
in 2.6.0
