				HaXml-1.08
				----------
			http://www.haskell.org/HaXml/

We announce a fresh release of HaXml, a collection of libraries and
tools for using XML from Haskell.  This is mainly a bug-fix release.

What is new in 1.08?

    * A new and highly useful function, Text.XML.HaXml.Validate.partialValidate,
      does validation except for checking whether the root element type matches
      that of the DTD's root element. This is just what you need in order to
      validate any partial document or sub-document.

    * The function Text.XML.HaXml.Html.Generate.htmlprint had a little
      bug which caused it to loop infinitely if some text was longer
      than 60 characters without a space.

    * The Xtract parser and combinators are now included in the
      HaXml library package, rather than existing solely for the Xtract
      command-line tool.

    * HaXml now works nicely with ghc-5.04.x as well as ghc-5.02.x and nhc98.
