2. - Minor parsing optimizations -
3. - Minor memory optimization for strings in DOM tree (set_name/set_value) -
4. - Memory optimization for string memory reclaiming in DOM tree (set_name/set_value - now reallocate the buffer if memory waste is too big) -

- Changes: -

- Bug fixes: -

-
- New features: -
1. - Added unsigned integer support for attributes (xml_attribute::as_uint, - xml_attribute::operator=) -
2. - Now document declaration (<?xml ...?>) is parsed as node with - type node_declaration when parse_declaration flag is specified (access - to encoding/version is performed as if they were attributes, i.e. - doc.child("xml").attribute("version").as_float()); - corresponding flags for node printing were also added -
3. - Added support for custom memory management (see set_memory_management_functions - for details) -
4. - Implemented node/attribute copying (see xml_node::insert_copy_* and - xml_node::append_copy for details) -

6. - Added file offset information querying for debugging purposes (now - you're able to determine exact location of any xml_node in parsed - file, see xml_node::offset_debug for details) -
7. - Improved error handling for parsing - now load(), load_file() and - parse() return xml_parse_result, which contains error code and last - parsed offset; this does not break old interface as xml_parse_result - can be implicitly casted to bool. -
