Empty tags now print with extra whitespace, oarsing speed was improved, Shift_JIS encoding was added, and the unit tests now use the new test/unit API. SAX2Parser now processes XML declarations and instructions, and the REXML pull parser and SAX2 parser now both report :processing_instruction instead of :instruction. There was also fixes for attribute deletion, ignored elements, and whitespace parsing. Corrections were made to the tutorial, and a non-conformance bug in XPath involving whitespace in predicates was fixed.
