PyXML 0.7 is released

[Martin v. Loewis]

Version 0.7 of the Python/XML distribution is now available. It
should be considered a beta release, and can be downloaded from
the following URLs:

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/pyxml/PyXML-0.7.tar.gz
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/pyxml/PyXML-0.7.win32-py1.5.exe
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/pyxml/PyXML-0.7.win32-py2.0.exe
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/pyxml/PyXML-0.7.win32-py2.1.exe

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/pyxml/PyXML-0.7-2.1.i386.rpm

Changes in this version, compared to 0.6.6:

* Expat 1.95.2 has been integrated.

* James Tauber has contributed an implementation of TREX,
in the xml.schema.trex module.

* xmlproc has been updated to produce Unicode strings in
Python 2.x using the Python codecs to convert the input.

* 4XPath and 4XSLT from the 4Suite package have been
integrated as xml.xpath and xml.xslt. Both packages are a
few releases behind 4Suite. In case of conflicts with
a 4Suite installation, passing --without-{xpath,xslt}
to setup.py is recommended.

* XBEL has been updated to revision 1.1.

* The C14N code in xml.dom.ext.c14n was completely rewritten.

* Swedish and French messages have been added to xmlproc.

* New SAX2 drivers have been added for htmllib, sgmllib,
sgmlop, and sgmlop_html.

The Python/XML distribution contains the basic tools required for
processing XML data using the Python programming language, assembled
into one easy-to-install package. The distribution includes parsers
and standard interfaces such as SAX and DOM, along with various other
useful modules.

The package currently contains:

* XML parsers: Pyexpat (Jack Jansen), xmlproc (Lars Marius
Garshol), sgmlop (Fredrik Lundh).

* SAX interface (Lars Marius Garshol)
* minidom DOM implementation (Paul Prescod)
* 4DOM and 4XPath from Fourthought (Uche Ogbuji, Mike Olson)
* Schema implementations: TREX (James Tauber)
* Various utility modules and functions (various people)
* Documentation and example programs (various people)

The code is being developed bazaar-style by contributors from the
Python XML Special Interest Group, so please send comments, questions,
or bug reports to <xml...@python.org>.
