The first release candidate of tDOM 0.8.2 is now available from

http://www.tdom.org/files/tDOM-0.8.2rc1.tgz

There's no special overwhelming new feature in this release. However,
some work has been done since the last release. That includes

* Update of the build system to TEA 3.6
* Update of expat to the current version 2.0.1
* Important fixes for problems on 64-bit boxes
* The usual maintenance and bug fix work
* Even some new features.

The probably most notable goodies out of the new features are:

* Much lesser pain with XPath queries w/ XML namespaced documents
through the new dom document method selectNodesNamespaces and the
new option -namespaces of the selectNodes method.

* Tcl variable names can appear in the XPath statement of selectNodes
at any position where it is legal according to the rules of the
XPath syntax to put an XPath variable. The value of the variable is
substituted for the variable name.

Some of that is in tDOM cvs head since a long time. The new release
brings that work to the people, which will or can not work with the
real state of the art: tdom cvs head.

Please take a look and report any problems.
