* Added XPath expansion and abbreviation to Parsers::XPathParser
* Improved the look of Element.inspect
* Added xpath() to Element and Attribute, allowing the generation of a unique
xpath for nodes of these types. This method for the other nodes still need to be
done
* Made REXML::XPathParser#match public
First pass at validation support. Minimal RelaxNG support.
* The tree parser is now an independant parser, like the rest.
* The first basic RelaxNG support is in. It supports elements, attributes,
choice, sequence, oneOrMany, zeroOrMany, and optional.
Improved support for converting XPaths to strings.
* XPath wasn't parsing ")" correctly.
Validation improvements:
* Fixed text
* Fixed attributes in choices
* Fixed text in choices. This change improves handling of all events that occur
without an end step (which is most of them).
* Fixed a bunch of cases
* Added support for <group>
* Added support for <value>
Workin' in the coal mine, goin' down, down, down...
* Entirely rewrote the validation code; the finite state machine, while cool,
didn't survive the encounter with Interleave. It was getting sort of hacky,
too. The new mechanism is less elegant, but is basically still a FSM, and is
more flexible without having to add hacks to extend it. Large chunks of the
FSM may be reusable in other validation mechanisms.
* Added interleave support
* Added suppert for mixed
* Added Kou's patch to normalize attribute values passed through the SAX2 and
Stream parsers.
* Applied Kou's preceding-sibling patch, which fixes the order of the axe results

* What's Ruby
Ruby is the interpreted scripting language for quick and
easy object-oriented programming. It has many features to
process text files and to do system management tasks (as in
Perl). It is simple, straight-forward, and extensible.
* Features of Ruby
+ Simple Syntax
+ *Normal* Object-Oriented features(ex. class, method calls)
+ *Advanced* Object-Oriented features(ex. Mix-in, Singleton-method)
+ Operator Overloading
+ Exception Handling
+ Iterators and Closures
+ Garbage Collection
+ Dynamic Loading of Object files(on some architecture)
+ Highly Portable(works on many UNIX machines, and on DOS,
Windows, Mac, BeOS etc.)
* How to get Ruby
The Ruby distribution can be found on:
ftp://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/
You can get it by anonymous CVS. How to check out is:
$ cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.ruby-lang.org:/src login
(Logging in to anonymous@cvs.ruby-lang.org)
CVS password: anonymous
$ cvs -z4 -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.ruby-lang.org:/src checkout ruby
* Ruby home-page
The URL of the Ruby home-page is:
http://www.ruby-lang.org/
* Mailing list
There is a mailing list to talk about Ruby.
To subscribe this list, please send the following phrase
subscribe YourFirstName YourFamilyName
e.g.
subscribe Joseph Smith
in the mail body (not subject) to the address <ruby-talk-ctl@ruby-lang.org>.
* How to compile and install
This is what you need to do to compile and install Ruby:
1. If ./configure does not exist or is older than configure.in,
run autoconf to (re)generate configure.
2. Run ./configure, which will generate config.h and Makefile.
3. Edit defines.h if you need. Probably this step will not need.
4. Remove comment mark(#) before the module names from ext/Setup (or
add module names if not present), if you want to link modules
statically.
If you don't want to compile non static extension modules
(probably on architectures which does not allow dynamic loading),
remove comment mark from the line "#option nodynamic" in
ext/Setup.
5. Run make.
6. Optionally, run 'make test' to check whether the compiled Ruby
interpreter works well. If you see the message "test succeeded",
your ruby works as it should (hopefully).
7. Run 'make install'
You may have to be a super user to install ruby.
If you fail to compile ruby, please send the detailed error report with
the error log and machine/OS type, to help others.
