+== 1.1.3 / 2009-03-18 Charlie Savage
+
+* Improve performance 10 to 20% by turning on libxml2's dictionary
+  feature that allows parsers to reuse previously parsed strings.
+
+* Fix XML::Node#remove! to work correctly with libxml's dictionary feature.
+
+* Correctly set up parser context options.
+
+* Simplify DOM modification code (Node#next=, Node#prev=, Node#sibling=) and
+  update documentation.
+
+* Deprecated Node#add_child and Node#child=, use Node#<< instead
+
+* Fix documentation for Node#<<
+
+* Added Document#import to enable moving nodes from one document
+  to another document.
+
+
+== 1.1.2 / 2009-03-12 Charlie Savage
+
+* Added XML::Node#inner_xml helper method.
+
+* Fix segmentation that could occur when calling the mark function on a
+  previously freed node.
+
+== 1.1.1 / 2009-03-10 Charlie Savage
+
+* Fix - Only include extra html parser context methods for versions of libxml
+  older than 2.6.27.
+
+== 1.1.0 / 2009-03-09 Charlie Savage
+
+* Fix bug caused by the mark function being called on partially initialized
+  attributes.
+
+* Revert back to libxml2's internal memory manager.
+
+== 1.0.0 / 2009-03-05 Charlie Savage
+
+* OS X (Charlie Savage).  Update bindings to support the default installed
+  version of libxml2 (2.6.16) on OS X 10.5 and the latest version available
+  via MacPorts.
+
+== 0.9.9 / 2009-03-05 Charlie Savage
+
+* Ruby 1.9.1 support (Charlie Savage). libxml-ruby now compiles and runs on either
+  1.8.6 and 1.9.1.  With 1.8.6 all tests should pass while on 1.9.1 all but
+  for encoding tests pass.  The port to Ruby 1.9.1 revealed two memory
+  allocation bugs (one with dtds, one with nodes) which are now fixed.
+
+* Better OS X support (Joe Khoobyar).  The default version of libxml2
+  on OS X 10.5 is fairly old, resulting in this link error:
+
+    NSLinkModule() error
+    dyld: Symbol not found: _htmlNewParserCtxt
+
+  This can be fixed by using MacPorts to get a newer version of libxml2.
+  To make use of MacPorts, the build script has been updated to use xml2-config.
+  This can be fine-tuned using the new --with-xml2-config / --without-xml2-config
+  options to extconf.rb (default is  --without-xml2-config to match existing behavior).
+
+* Greatly reduced memory usage (Joe Khoobyar).
+  See http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/libxml-devel/2009-February/001375.html.
+
+* Add Document#xhtml? and document#node_type methods (Joe Khoobyar)
+
+* Add XPath::Object#last (Joe Khoobyar)
+
+* Provide finer control over CDATA nodes on a parser by parser basis  (Joe Khoobyar).
+
+* Bug fix - Namespaces were incorrectly merged with attributes in the new sax2
+  handler (Charlie Savage).
+
+* Bug fix - Support iterating over nodes and attributes even with blocks
+  that call remove! (Charlie Savage)
+
+* Bug fix - If reader.node is NULL, return nil instead of crashing (Charlie Savage)
+
+* Bug fix - Dtd's owned by documents were freed twice in some circumstances (Joe Khoobyar).
+
+* Bug fix - Fix output escaping on attributes nodes (Joe Khoobyar).
+
+* Bug fix - Make sure IO objects are not garbage collected when used
+  as parser sources (Charlie Savage).
+
+== 0.9.8 / 2009-1-24 Charlie Savage
+
+* Refactored XML::Parser, XML::HTMLParser, XML::SaxParser and
+  XML::Reader to have consistent APIs.  All the parsers
+  now take a context object in their constructors, allowing fine
+  grained control over the parsers for advanced use cases.  These
+  API changes are backwards compatible except
+  for XML::Reader, which now takes an optional hash table as a
+  second parameter in its various constructors versus an optional
+  boolean value.
+
+* Updated all APIs to use the encoding constants defined
+  in XML::Encoding versus string values.  This API change
+  is not backwards compatible.
+
+* Added support for attribute declarations in DTD's via the new
+  XML::AttrDecl class (Len Lattanzi)
+
+* Support libxml's content escaping capabilities for text nodes by
+  wrapping libxml's "xmlStringText" and "xmlStringTextNoenc"
+  (Joe Khoobyar).
+
+* Updated XML::Reader#read API to return true if a node was read,
+  false if node was not read and raises an exception on an error.
+  Previously #read returned 1 if a node was read, 0 if a node was
+  not read and -1 for an error.  This change is not backwards
+  compatible, but provides a more natural interface for Ruby by
+  allowing code like this:
+
+  while reader.read
+    # do stuff
+  end
+
+* Changed XML::Error exception objects to return copies of nodes that
+  cause parse errors instead of the original node.  This prevents
+  segmentation faults when the error is reraised.
+
+* Added XML::Reader#node method.
+
+* Fixed compile errors on OS X which uses an older version of libxml.
+
+* Fixed memory leak when performing XPath searches.
+
+* Fixed rdocs.
+
+* Don't override libxml's default settings for entity substitution and
+  loading external DTDs.  This may break some code - you may need to
+  add in a call to XML.default_substitute_entities = true or
+  XML.default_load_external_dtd = true.
+
+
+== 0.9.7 / 2008-12-08 Charlie Savage
+
+* Added SAX2 support.  SAX handlers now define two new callbacks,
+  on_start_element_ns and on_end_element_ns methods.  These
+  new callbacks support namespaces, making them superior to the older
+  callbacks on_start_element and on_end_element methods.  The old callbacks
+  are still supported, but may be deprecated in the future depending
+  on community feedback.
+
+* Added SAX support for libxml's structured error handling.
+  That menas sax handlers now define a new callback, on_error,
+  which takes one parameter, an instance of XML::Error.  The older
+  on_parser_error, on_parser_warning and on_parser_fatal_error
+  callbacks are no longer suported so you must port your code.
+  Note that the older callbacks took one string parameter, instead of
+  an XML::Error object.
+
+* Experimental work-around for libxml error handling bug - see
+  http://mail.gnome.org/archives/xml/2008-December/msg00014.html
+  for more information.
+
+* Fix compilation bugs on Solaris.
+
+* Fix Rdoc compilation bug.
+
+
+== 0.9.6 / 2008-12-08 Charlie Savage
+
+* Refactored namespace handling.  The existing, and inconsistent,
+  namespace methods defined on XML::Node have been deprecated.  
+  They have been replaced by a the new XML::Namespaces class.
+  Use this class to inspect a node's namespace, its default
+  namespace, its namespace definitions and which namespaces
+  are in scope.  It can be accessed via the the
+  XML::Node#namespaces method.
+
+* Rationalized XML::Document#save, XML::Document#to_s and
+  XML::Node#to_s to take an optional hash table of parameters 
+  that control how output is generated. Supported parameters
+  include setting indentation on or off, the indentation level
+  and the output encoding.  This is an API change and may break
+  existing calls to XML::Document#save.  However, the previous
+  API was broken - setting the encoding resulted in an error so
+  its unlikely anyone is using it.
+
+* Rationalized XML::Document#debug, XML::Node#debug, XML::XPath::XPathObject#Debug.
+
+* Deprecated a number of duplicate dump* and debug_* methods in
+  XML::Document and XML::Node.
+
+* Additional Ruby 1.9.1 compatability fixes.
+
+* Cleaned up header file guards.
+
+== 0.9.5 / 2008-11-29 Charlie Savage
+
+* Ruby 1.9.1 preview release compatability (Felipe Contreras)
+
+* Update Node#remove! to return the removed node and to set
+  its document to nil.  This allows the node to be either
+  moved to another document, another part of the same document
+  or to be freed on the next garbage collection once its
+  references have gone out of scope.
+
+* Fix bug where XPathExpression#compile mistakenly overwrote
+  RegExp#compile.
+
+* Update Node to use standard ruby allocators and initializers.
+
+* Update HTML parser to be more forgiving of invalid documents.
+
+* Update include paths for Darwin Ports on OS X.
+
+* Updated C code base to use BSD/Allman style
+
+
+== 0.9.4 / 2008-11-24 Charlie Savage
+
+* Update HTML parser so that it can read files, strings and io
+  streams.
+
+* Update HTML parser to support user specified encodings.
+
+* Additional C code cleanup.
+
+== 0.9.3 / 2008-11-22 Charlie Savage
+
+* Fixed segmentation fault caused by documents being freed
+  before xpath results that referenced the document (take 2).
+
+* Allowed sax parser to use io stream
+
+* Combined encoding and input classes
+
+* Cleaned up C code - removed remaining legacy structures,
+  added static to most methods, changed C namespace from ruby_xml
+  to rxml
+
+== 0.9.2 / 2008-11-19 Charlie Savage
+
+* Add support for compiled XPath expressions (donated by Pavel Valodzka)
+
+* Fixes for compiling on OS X 10.5.4 and 10.5.5
+
+== 0.9.1 / 2008-11-18 Charlie Savage
+
+* Expose LibXML's encoding support via a new Encoding object.
+
+* Revamp error handling to be much easier to use.  Errors are now
+  wrapped by the new XML::Error class and are thrown as exceptions
+  when it is appropriate.
+
+* Fixed segmentation fault caused by documents being freed
+  before xpath results that referenced the document.
+
+* Add Node#register_default_namespace to simplify default namespace handling.
+
+* Significantly improve documentation
+
+* A number of bug fixes and patches.
+
+== 0.9.0 / 2008-11-18 Charlie Savage
+
+* Version 0.9.0 was removed due to packaging errors.
+
+
+== 0.8.3 / 2008-07-21 Charlie Savage
+
+* Missed several files in last release
+
+== 0.8.2 / 2008-07-21 Charlie Savage
+
+* To use LibXML you can either require 'xml' or require 'libxml'. 
+  The differences is that require 'xml' mixes the LibXML module into
+  the global namespace, thereby allowing you to write code such
+  as document = XML::Document.new.  Note that this is different 
+  from 0.8.0 and 0.8.1 and may require updating your code.
+
+* Support RelaxNG validation (thanks to Morus Walter)
+
+* Support passing IO objects to XmlReaders (thanks to Tom Hughes)
+
+* Fix segmentation fault caused by adding an attribute to a CDATA node
+
+* Moved node checking functions from C to Ruby
+
+* Improved Windows support - libxml-ruby should now work out of the box.
+
+* Improved Windows support - turned on libxml's zlib and iconv support.
+
+
+== 0.8.1 / 2008-07-09 Charlie Savage
+
+* Reimplmented Node#each_attr for backwards compatability
+
+* Moved node type test to Ruby.
+
+
+== 0.8.0 / 2008-07-09 Charlie Savage
+
+* Fixed bug in returning attributes from XPath results
+
+* Fixed DOM traversal methods
+
+* Changed Node#children to return an array of nodes
+
+* Fixed bug in returning attributes from XPath results
+
+* Refactored XPath support, providing more user hooks in the XPath::Context class
+
+* Added Node#properties for backwards compatibility
+
+* Updated setup.rb
+
+* Added more tests
+
+* Updated rdocs and README file
+
+* Moved libxml into LibXML namespace
+
+
+== 0.7.0 / 2008-07-09 Charlie Savage
+
+* Added new attributes class to provide a more natural way of working with attributes
+
+* Fixed XML::Attr to better support namespaces
+
+* Added documentation on how to use namespaces with XPath
+
+* Removed allocation of extraneous structures used to wrap nodes, namespaces and attributes
+
+* Cleaned up tests and added new test suite
+
+* Updated rdocs and README file
+
+* Cleaned out most of the bug list
+
+
+== 0.6.0 / 2008-07-01 Charlie Savage
+
+* Fixed memory allocation errors in Windows.  On Windows, it is essential that the same library that allocates memory must free it. Thus ALLOC calls must be matched to ruby_xfree calls, which they were not.  In addition, in one case Ruby was allocating memory to be freed by libxml.  On Windows, that's a segmentation fault.  On Linux it might fly, but still seems like a bad idea.
+
+* Fixed segmentation fault in xml reader expand (same xml tree freed twice)
+
+* Applied a number of patches from Tom Bagby, including fixes for xpath segmentation faults and fixes for various memory leaks
+
+* Cleaned up a number of compiler warnings
+
+* Renamed libxml_so.so to libxml_ruby.so (same for xslt).  That wasn't actually my original intention, but um, it kind of sort of happened.  It should not be noticeable from an end-user perspective.
+
+* Added rake files for building with MingW
+
+* Added rake files for packing gems.  Note that I did this outside the existing rake tasks because I didn't see how they were actually building the gems.
+
+* Cleaned up the tests and added a few more based on bug reports from the Tracker and mailing list.
+
+* Cleaned out the patch queue and went through about 1/2 the bug list
