   8 20041004
   9 --------
  10
  11 Support for outlining has been added. See the manual for more details.
  12
  13 C-u C-c C-n goes to the first error.
  14
  15 20040910
  16 --------
  17
  18 C-c RET splits the current element as in PSGML.
  19
  20 20040908
  21 --------
  22
  23 Indentation has been rewritten.  Indentation of attribute names and
  24 values should work better.  The default value of
  25 `nxml-attribute-indent' has been changed to 4.
  26
  27 Syntax highlighting with a dark background should now work.
  28
  29 20040726
  30 --------
  31
  32 The attribute pathSuffix on the uri element in schema locating files
  33 has been replaced by a more general pattern attribute. The
  34 transformURI element now has required fromPattern and toPattern
  35 attributes.
  36
  37 The schema related bindings have been changed to use C-c C-s as a prefix
  38 as follows:
  39
  40   C-c C-s => C-c C-s C-f (f for file)
  41   C-c C-a => C-c C-s C-a
  42   C-c C-t => C-c C-s C-t
  43   C-c C-l => C-c C-s C-l
  44   C-c C-w => C-c C-s C-w
  45
  46 There's now an XML menu on the menu-bar.
  47
  48 20031031
  49 --------
  50
  51 C-c C-d "dynamically" chooses a tag to put around the word before
  52 point, rather like M-/.
  53
  54 The mechanism for locating the schema has changed completely.  The new
  55 mechanism is described in the manual.  Any existing customizations of
  56 `rng-auto-element-alist' or `rng-auto-file-name-alist' will no longer
  57 be effective.
  58
  59 C-c C-a is now bound to rng-auto-set-schema.
  60
  61 20031018
  62 --------
  63
  64 Unicode names can be used to insert characters with the new command
  65 C-c C-u.  Normally, this inserts a character reference.  With a prefix
  66 arg (i.e. C-u C-c C-u), it inserts the character directly.  You can
  67 customize `nxml-enabled-unicode-blocks' to control what Unicode blocks
  68 are used for completing names.
  69
  70 Extra information is displayed for character references.  The Unicode
  71 name is displayed in a tooltip. A glyph for the referenced character
  72 is displayed in a distinguished face following the character
  73 reference; this can be disabled by customizing
  74 `nxml-char-ref-display-glyph-flag'.  The command
  75 `nxml-toggle-char-ref-extra-display' dynamically toggles the display
  76 of extra information for character references for a particular buffer.
  77 This can be used if the display of extra information is causing
  78 performance problems. nXML mode tries to figure out which glyphs can
  79 be displayed. Unfortunately Emacs doesn't provide the primitives
  80 necessary to do this properly, so nXML mode has to guess and will
  81 sometimes guess wrong.  The hook `nxml-glyph-set-hook' can be used to
  82 change nXML mode's guess.
  83
  84 New command C-c C-w says what schema is being used.
  85
  86 C-c C-s now turns on validation if it is not already on.
  87
  88 20030928
  89 --------
  90
  91 M-q has been implemented so that it works reasonably with XML.  Other
  92 paragraph-related commands (M-{, M-}, M-h) have also been implemented.
  93
  94 New command M-x rng-auto-set-schema to set the schema based on the
  95 buffer's current contents and file-name. This is called automatically
  96 when rng-validate-mode is first enabled.
  97
  98 There's now a C-M-d to go with C-M-u.  C-M-d moves forward down into
  99 the content of an element.  C-M-n and C-M-p move to the next or
 100 previous element.
 101
 102 By default, the sexp commands (C-M-f, C-M-b, C-M-k, C-M-SPC) operate
 103 on tags rather than elements.  To restore the old behavior,
 104 customize nxml-sexp-element-flag.
 105
 106 The file TUTORIAL has been replaced by nxml-mode.info; this is in info
 107 format and can be read using Emacs.  The source is maintained in a
 108 simple, ad-hoc XML format.
 109
 110 20030915
 111 --------
 112
 113 XML encodings should now work properly.  When saving a buffer,
 114 nxml-mode arranges to use the encoding declared in the XML
 115 declaration.  If there is no encoding declared, then nxml-mode will
 116 use utf-8 or utf-16 according to the user options
 117 `nxml-prefer-utf-16-to-utf-8-flag' and
 118 `nxml-prefer-utf-16-little-to-big-endian-flag'. If the chosen encoding
 119 cannot encode all the characters in the buffer, nxml-mode will
 120 complain and give the user an opportunity to use an encoding that can.
 121
 122 A new command C-c C-x inserts an XML declaration.
 123
 124 The option `nxml-auto-insert-xml-declaration-flag' automatically
 125 inserts an XML declaration in new files.
 126
 127 The `nxml-default-buffer-file-coding-system' option allows a different
 128 default buffer-file-coding-system for nXML mode buffers.  This affects
 129 what XML declaration is inserted.
 130
 131 Encoding names in XML declarations are now validated by
 132 rng-validate-mode.
 133
 134 RDF/XML schema was updated to version in 05 September 2003 WD.
 135
 136 20030912
 137 --------
 138
 139 The tutorial has a new section on inserting end-tags.
 140
 141 By default </ no longer automatically inserts the rest of the end-tag.
 142 You can do
 143
 144   M-x customize-variable RET nxml-slash-auto-complete-flag RET
 145
 146 and then follow the instructions displayed in the buffer to get the
 147 old behavior.
 148
 149 Completion after </ will complete the rest of the end-tag. Completion
 150 after < will include the end-tag in the possibilities if allowed by
 151 the schema.
 152
 153 You can use C-c C-i instead of > to close the start-tag of an
 154 inline-level element.  After inserting the >, it will insert the
 155 end-tag and leave point before the end-tag. The `i' is supposed to be
 156 mnemonic for `inline'. C-c C-b is similar, but for block elements: the
 157 start-tag, point and the end-tag will all be on separate lines.
 158
 159 The binding for inserting an end-tag has changed from C-c / to C-c C-f
 160 to comply with Emacs guidelines about what keys major modes should
 161 bind.  The `f' is supposed to be mnemonic for `finish'.
 162
 163 Completion always puts point after all the characters it inserts. It
 164 doesn't insert a `>' after completing a start-tag name.
 165
 166 Completion no longer completes CDATA section and comment delimiters.
 167
 168 The nxml-start-auto-coding command enables auto-detection of a file's
 169 encoding as specified in the XML Recommendation for files that use
 170 nxml-mode; rng-auto.el calls this.
 171
 172 20030906
 173 --------
 174
 175 Validation messages applicable to point are displayed automatically.
 176
 177 Completion can deal with prefixes that haven't yet been declared.
 178
 179 rng-preferred-prefix-alist variable added.
 180
 181 Namespace URIs can be completed.
 182
 183 xmlns and xmlns:* attributes can be completed.
 184
 185 CDATA section and comment delimiters can be completed.
 186
 187 Each kind of completion has its own history.
 188
 189 Completion function moved to nxml-mode; uses a hook to allow
 190 schema-sensitive completion.  Completion function bound to C-return.
 191 Also bound to M-TAB as before, unless
 192 nxml-bind-meta-tab-to-complete-flag is nil.  When there is a window
 193 system, nxml-bind-meta-tab-to-complete-flag is nil by default, This
 194 avoid problems with M-TAB, which is not passed through by several
 195 window systems/managers.
 196
 197 TUTORIAL file added.
 198
 199 NEWS file added.
 200
 201 Bug fixes.
