Release notes:

Version 1.4, released on 07/09/2001

  * fixed the bug where ns_xml node ... wouldn't work for 
    nodes from documents parsed with -persist flag

Version 1.3 released on 07/05/2001

  * bugfix for ns_xml apply_xslt (incorrect parsing of arguments)

Version 1.2 released on 07/04/2001

  * XSLT support has been added in the form of
    ns_xml apply_xslt $xslt_doc_id $xml_doc_id and 
    ns_xml parse_xslt ?-persist? command.
    You need to install libxslt for it to work. 
  * looks like ns_xml has not been updated to libxml2 which would
    result in the ns_xml doc root not returning a root but
    a node below the root. Most visibly, if there
    was a <!DOCTYPE ..> inside XML doc, you would only get
    a couple of nodes and not the whole doc. Fixed. May change
    behaviour of scripts. 
  * ns_xml parse -persistent was broken (would crash) because a hash table
    for persistent docs has not been initialized. Fixed by initializing hash table. 
  * ns_xml stats was broken, free() was used to free the memory allocated by
    ckalloc(). Fixed by calling ckfree(). 
  * many commands didn't check for the number of arguments so they would 
    crash if called incorrectly. Fixed by adding checks for a proper number
    of arguments. 
  * fixed Windows compilation issues. 
  * regression tests were written for the OpenNSD test framework.
    Tests cover all the issues above and then some.
