[gdome]ANNOUNCE: gdome2-0.7.0

[Paolo Casarini <casarini CS UniBO IT>]

Hello guys (is there any girl out there?)

   The gdome2 release 0.7.0 codename "Pourquoi-Pas" 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".
    
  - Exports an object oriented inteface.
  - Provides a reference counting system that is responsible of all
    memory management issues.
  
* News

  - New Memory Management System that, with the only use of reference
    counting, should relief high level programmers from all boring memory
    related issues w.r.t. XML document management.
  - all test programs have been updated.
  - Minimized differeces between gdome2 API behaviour and DOM Level 2
    specifications.
  - Improved package portability, compatibility and usability.
