+The latest version (1.10) has the following features and fixes:<br>
+<ul>
+<li> All being well, HaXml now works again for Hugs (versions &ge;
+     September 2003).  The library sources are installed using
+     <em>hugs-package</em>, and the tools are installed as scripts
+     for <em>runhugs</em>.
+<li> Fixed the internal (and external) representations of XML character
+     references.
+<li> New combinators to `escape' and `unescape' reserved XML characters in
+     text and attribute values has been contributed by George Russell.
+     (e.g. to convert "&lt;" into "&amp;lt;".)
+<li> Bugfixes to DtdToHaskell: A DTD content specification of the form<br>
+    &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<tt>&lt;!ELEMENT A (B*,(C|(D?,E*)))&gt;</tt><br>
+     was incorrectly translated to the Haskell<br>
+    &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<tt>data A = A [B] (OneOf3 C (Maybe D) [E])</tt><br>     but the new (correct) translation is<br>
+    &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<tt>data A = A [B] (OneOf2 C (Maybe D,[E]))</tt><br></ul>

-<p>
-The previous version (1.08) had the following new features:<br>
-<ul>
-<li> A new and highly useful function, Text.XML.HaXml.Validate.partialValidate,
-     does validation except for checking whether the root element type matches
-     that of the DTD's root element.  This is just what you need in order to
-     validate any partial document or sub-document.
-<li> The function Text.XML.HaXml.Html.Generate.htmlprint had a little
-     bug which caused it to loop infinitely if some text was longer
-     than 60 characters without a space.
-<li> The Xtract parser and combinators are now included in the HaXml
-     library package, rather than existing solely for the Xtract
-     command-line tool.
-<li> The code generated by DtdToHaskell had a minor cut-and-paste error.
-<li> There were also some simple import naming problems in some of the
-     demonstration files in the examples/ directory.
-<li> The file `script/echo.c' was missing from the distribution.
-     This only affected the configuration step on systems where
-     `echo -n' is not recognised (e.g. Solaris).
