All releases tagged Stable
Release Notes: The many changes in this release include consolidation of the parsing code and a rewrite of the XPath evaluator. Since Ruby 1.8, REXML is distributed with Ruby.
Release Notes: Bugfixes have been backported for entity replacement, ignore_whitespace_node, Functions::substring_before and Functions::substring_after, and for hanging instances and bad markup recognition.
Release Notes: Fixed a bug in the reported version, and back-ported the whitespace after XML declaration before root node bugfix, as well as the Functions::substring() bugfix.
Release Notes: The development version has been re-tagged as the new stable version.
Release Notes: This release has bugfixes for the starts_with XPath function, Element.add_namespace, and in Document WRT whitespace outside of the document.
Release Notes: A bug in benchmark/bench.rb has been fixed. stand_alone?() has been added to XMLDecl. There are improvements to the streaming API; in particular, pulling data from non-closing streams doesn't require passing a block size of 1 to the IOSource class any longer. In fact, the block size is ignored. A user-supplied patch has been applied to fix the fact that not all of the DTD events were getting passed to the listener. Entity parsing has been improved. There is a better test suite; you can now pass --help to the main test suite to get a list of the new options.
Release Notes: Documentation fixes, addition of RSS for changelog, bugfixes for element cloning namespace loss and for Streaming API string normalization, support for deep cloning, fixes for some streaming issues for SOAP4R, fixes to '\r' handling, improved entities handling, and 
 is converted to '\r' internally and then translated back to '\r' on output.
Release Notes: This version includes speed optimizations, including IO optimizations, and features ISO-8859-1 output. Pretty-printing was cleaned up, the tutorial was updated, the behavior of Element.attributes.each was changed, and REXML now iterates over (key, value) pairs, rather than attributes. The unit tests were expanded and a number of obscure bugs were subsequently fixed. API documentation is now distributed separately from the main distribution now. A bug in namespace handling in attributes was fixed, and the API documentation was updated for Element, Element.Elements, and Element.Attributes.
Release Notes: This release includes XPath improvements, including completed expression grouping '(...)', and preceding:: and following:: axes. XPath is now feature complete.
Release Notes: Some unit tests, a fix for a namespace XPath bug, a fix for the 8-bit ASCII conflict with UTF8, optimizing the descendant axes of XPath, and readdition of QuickPath (the old, non-fully-XPath compliant, yet much faster, XPath processor).
