(I posted this to comp.lang.ruby a while ago, but posts don’t seem to be  
crossing the gateway in this direction so I’ll repost. Apologies if this  
turns up as a dupe).

============  
Libxml-Ruby 0.3.8.2 is now available from Rubyforge  
([http://libxml.rubyforge.org](http://libxml.rubyforge.org)). Libxml-Ruby provides Ruby bindings to  
libxml2, the high-speed, high-capability XML processing library used by  
the GNOME project.

This release includes critical bug-fixes and cross-platform installation  
improvements backported from the current 0.4 development effort, and is  
a highly-recommended upgrade for all Libxml-Ruby 0.3.x users.

Changes for this release:

- Reimplemented XML::Node memory management
- Reimplemented node copy handling
- Reimplemented attribute memory handling
- Fixed attribute list traversal (bug #4719)
- Tested fix of bug #4635
- Integrated Luc Van Deuren’s cdata/comment node patch
- Fixed test-naming bugs
- Fixed doc build bug
- Fixed parser error handler proc early GC bug
- include stdarg.h on ruby\_xml\_document

Thanks to everyone who reported bugs and contributed patches.

I’m looking into this now. Newsgroup messages should start coming in  
anytime now.

Our NNTP host seems to have skipped a message number (going from  
133450 to 133452) and the Gateway couldn’t cope with that. Fred, can  
you provide any insight on what happened there? Is this something I  
need to code around?
