+The latest version (1.09) has the following fixes:
+
+- hmake is no longer required to build HaXml, provided you
+ have ghc --make.
+
- Some of the signatures in Text.XML.HaXml.Xml2Haskell have changed,
+ in particular, there are new functions readXml and
+ showXml that convert to/from Strings, hGetXml and
+ hPutXml that use file Handles, and the old functions that
+ use filenames are renamed to fReadXml and fWriteXml.
+
- DtdToHaskell previously generated incorrect code for reading an XML
+ element given the following DTD fragment:
+
<!ELEMENT foo (a,b)+ >
+ - The parser had a fault when reading conditional sections nested inside an
+ IGNORE section in a DTD.
+
- In Text.XML.HaXml.Html.Generate, all functions now generate HTML tags
+ in lower-case rather than upper-case, to conform to the XHTML standard.
+
- DtdToHaskell now accepts NOTATION types for attributes. They are
+ treated just like enumeration types.
+
- Fixed a configuration bug on the Cygwin platform with ghc-5.04.x.
+
- make install now places the executables (DtdToHaskell, Xtract,

+The previous version (1.08) had the following new features:

-
-Version (1.07) had the following new features:
-
-- HaXml now uses the new hierarchical namespace for modules,
- specifically under the tree Text.XML.HaXml.
-
- The HaXml libraries now install as a separate `package' in both ghc
- and nhc98. Use -package HaXml to access them.
-
- The library APIs are now documented using Haddock.
-
- Due to popular request, we have added a new validator for checking
- generic document content against a DTD. This is available both as
- a library function, and as a command-line tool.
-
- DrIFT is now distributed separately by John Meacham, with much better
- configuration and build support. You still only need it if you
- want to derive the Haskell2Xml class.
-
- Bugfix: the lexer and parser now accept NOTATION declarations in the DTD.
-
- Bugfix: a PublicId in a NOTATION decl is now correctly recognised by the
- keyword PUBLIC, not PUBLICID.
-
- Bugfix: the HTML parser now correctly accepts stand-alone tags like IMG.
-
- Bugfix: instances of XmlContent now accept an empty string where #PCDATA
- is expected. Likewise, comments, processing instructions, and
- character/entity references are now permitted to be scattered
- thoughout some #PCDATA text.
-
- Bugfix: the OneOfN types used in code generated by DtdToHaskell are
- now supplied by default up to size 20, and a utility for
- automatically generating larger sizes is included.
