-Development version:
-The development version of HaXml is available by anonymous CVS
-(write-access is also available to core Haskell developers). Read the
-instructions for getting ghc by CVS:
-
-http://haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/building/sec-cvs.html
-and simply replace the project name fpconfig with
-fptools/libraries/HaXml. Access is also available through
+Ongoing development:
+The development version of HaXml is also available through

-
but note that the gateway between darcs and CVS is manual, so
-the darcs copy may lag behind CVS.

+
+Version 1.16 adds laziness to the parser combinator libraries, such that
+they can start to return partial results before a whole entity has been
+parsed. Partial is also used in the sense that the returned value can
+contain bottom - an error which gets thrown as an exception when you try
+to explore the inner regions of the value. In terms of XML, it means you
+get an element back as soon as its start-tag has been consumed, but if
+there are parse errors later on, BOOM. However, if there are no errors,
+it does mean that your processing will be (a) faster and (b) less memory
+hungry. Another cool thing is that, even in the presence of errors, you
+still might get enough output to satisfy your processing task before the
+error is noticed.
+
+
+Use Text.XML.HaXml.ParseLazy and
+Text.XML.HaXml.Html.ParseLazy to try it out. There are also
+lazy versions of the supplied demo programs: CanonicaliseLazy
+and XtractLazy.
