XML_Transformer 1.1.0

2004-11-27T07:32:11-05:00

+ Enabled the construction of nested transformers by allowing for multiple instances of XML_Transformer_CallbackRegistry. (Based upon a patch by Thomas Duffey )

+ Added collapseEmptyTagsMode parameter that controls the collapsing of empty tags and allows for the correct transforming of XHTML documents.

* XML entities are no longer replaced twice. (Patch by Thomas Duffey )

* Refactored the testsuite to use PHPUnit2.

! XML_Transformer now requires XML_Util-1.1.0.

XML_Transformer 1.0.1

2004-03-16T13:35:39-05:00

* Refactored debug message system.

- Replaced XML_Transformer_Util::attributesToString()

! The XML_Util package is now required.

XML_Transformer 0.8.2

2003-09-11T15:55:00-05:00

* Performance improvements due to changes in the
debug mode.

XML_Transformer 0.8.1

2003-05-06T15:22:00-05:00

Bugfix release.

XML_Transformer 0.8

2002-10-07T07:13:00-05:00

+ Added DocBook namespace handler.

+ Added Widget namespace handler.

* Renamed XML_Transformer_Cache and XML_Transformer_OutputBuffer
to XML_Transformer_Driver_Cache and XML_Transformer_Driver_OutputBuffer
respectively.

* Significant performance improvement by preventing unnecessary
recursive parsing.

By returning

array(
$cdata,
true
)

instead of

$cdata

a callback handler for the endElement event can notify the
Transformer not to recurively process its result.

* Improved debugging information.

* The target to which error messages and debugging information
are beeing sent can now be configured using setLogTarget().

The default target is the error.log.

XML_Transformer 0.7

2002-09-22T07:08:00-05:00

+ Added Anchor namespace handler.

The Anchor namespace handler implements a database of
indirect links. These links can be maintained centrally
in a single location, and can be used using

...

selects a single random link from the database.

+ Added Image namespace handler.

+ is a replacement for XHTML's and
automatically determines the size of the image.

For this, the image must be in a format that is
understood by getimagesize().

+ is a container that renders its contents
as a PNG graphics using ImageTTFText().

For this to work, a cache directory below DocumentRoot
that is writeable by the Webserver owner is necessary.
The default is /cache/gtext.

+ understands the same attributes as
and supplies these to all subsequent calls
of .

+ Namespace handlers can now use getLock() to disable other
namespace handlers for the time of their transformation.
releaseLock() is used to enable all namespace handlers
again.

+ Added a caching version of the XML_Transformer that uses
the Cache_Lite PEAR package to cache the result of XML
transformations.

+ Added automatic loading of namespace handlers that are
stored in the XML/Transformer/Namespace directory.

+ Added new tags to the PHP Namespace Handler:

+

The attribute x is $x and the content is $content.

This will define a new namespace a with a single tag b in it
(You may put multiple defines into a namespace). If you use
sometext, the variable $x will be replaced
with the text, and the variable $content will be replaced with
the content.

+ inserts the contents of a given
HTTP Cookie into the output XML tree.

+ inserts the contents of a
given server variable into the output XML tree.

+ executes a given block of PHP code and stores
its output into the output XML tree.

* Refactored the XML_Transformer class into

* XML_Transformer.

* XML_Transformer_CallbackRegistry.

This class faciliates the registration of new callbacks
on-the-fly inside the transformation's recursion.

* XML_Transformer_OutputBuffer.

This class decouples the XML transformation from the output
buffering.

* XML_Transformer_Util.

Static utility methods.

* Deprecated overloading of single XML elements.

By overloading a special namespace, &MAIN, the old behaviour can
be achieved.

* setDefaultCallback() and unsetDefaultCallback() are deprecated.

By overloading the newly introduced &MAIN namespace with a class
that provides default element handlers the old behaviour can
be achieved.

XML_Transformer 0.6

2002-09-17T22:05:00-05:00

+ Added methods setDefaultCallback() and unsetDefaultCallback() to
set/unset default callbacks for elements that are not overloaded.

+ Added a base class for namespace-handling transformer classes.

+ Removed canonicalName() method in favour of more general
canonicalizeAttributes() method.

+ Added PHP namespace handler. Initially the following tags are
supported:

+ evaluates a given PHP expression and stores its
return value into the output XML tree.

+ inserts the contents of a given
global variable into the output XML tree.

+ value global variable to a given value.

+ inserts the contents of a given
HTTP GET parameter into the output XML tree.

+ inserts the contents of a given
HTTP POST parameter into the output XML tree.

+ inserts the contents of a given
session variable into the output XML tree.

* Fixed a bug in overloadNamespace()'s error handling.

* Recursive operation can now be selectively turned off for
overloaded namespaces, too.

* Attributes are now canonicalized on-the-fly, rather than at
the time of their serialization which can be too late.

As a side-effect, the attributesToString() method can now be
called statically.

* Fixed recursive transformation of overloaded namespaces.

* Changed license from PHP License 2.02 to PHP License 3.00.
