[gdome]ANNOUNCE: gdome2-0.7.1

[Paolo Casarini <casarini CS UniBO IT>]

 Hello guys!

   The gdome2 release 0.7.1 codename "Guinness" is out!!
   

* Description:

  gdome2 is meant to be an easy to use, fast, light-weight DOM Level 2
  implementation library for the C programming language. It aims at
  standard compliance and it relies on libxml2.
  A DOM Implementation makes a XML or a HTML document available for
  processing and traversal of a XML document by means of a standard set of
  interfaces.
  Although gdome2 has been written as part of the GNOME project, it can be used
  stand-alone. One of its main strenghts is that wrappers for other programming
  languages can be easily written on top of it (and, for the most part, they
  can be generated automatically thanks to the uniformity of DOM interfaces)
  so to make it quickly available to a wide range of users. 

* Features

  - Supports the following DOM Level 2 modules:
    - "Core";
    - "XML";
    - "Events";
    - "MutationEvents".

  - Partially supports the following DOM Level 3 modules:
    - "XPath".
    
  - Exports an object oriented interface.
  - Provides a reference counting system that is responsible of all
    memory management issues.
  
* News

  - New Exception internal encoding.
  - Added Level 3 DOM XPath module.
  - Added support for namespace declaration attribute.
  - Added documentation for developers on how to add a new module.
  - Memory leak fix.
  
* Resources

  The home page of the project is:

  The HTML Reference Manual with extensive API documentation is available
  here:
  
      http://phd.cs.unibo.it/gdome2/gtk-doc/book1.html
      
* Acknowledgments

  The gdome2 project has a new main developer: T.J. Mather. He is also the
  author of XML-GDOME, that is a perl module that provides DOM Level 2 Core
  API for accessing XML documents. So I wish to thank TJ for his great work
  adding new features and fixing some bugs in the Core module making it
  stable.

  Some other people gave their contribution for this release, in particular
  I wish to thank Luca Padovani, Daniel Veillard, Tobias Peters and
  Enrico Zini for their fruitful collaboration.
  
  Paolo
