[XML-SIG] XIST 2.13 released

[Walter Dörwald]

XIST 2.13 has been released!


What is it?
===========

XIST is an extensible HTML/XML generator written in Python. XIST is
also a DOM parser (built on top of SAX2) with a very simple and
Pythonesque tree API. Every XML element type corresponds to a Python
class, and these Python classes provide a conversion method to transform
the XML tree (e.g. into HTML). XIST can be considered "object oriented XSL".


What's new in version 2.13?
===========================

  * ll.xist.xsc.Namespace.tokenize() requires a unicode object as input
     now. This makes it possible to use encodings that are not ASCII
     compatible (such as UTF-16). The encoding argument is gone.
  * ll.xist.xsc.Node.asString() uses the encoding argument to determine
     which characters have to be output as character references now.
     (You'll still get a unicode object as the result.)
  * A new processing instruction class ll.xist.ns.specials.literal
     has been added, that will output it's content literally when
     published. This can be used for embedding preformatted XML (e.g.
     from a database) into an XIST tree.


What's new in version 2.12?
===========================

  * Namespaces for Relax NG and Kid have been added.
  * XIST requires version 1.0 of the core package now.
  * The class name for the DocBook DTD class has been fixed.
