Release Notes for Version 1.1 30 January 2004 1. Added support for character references of the form &#dd; and &#xhh; where dd is a decimal number and hh a hexadecimal number. 2. Revamped the reader module to perform a cleaner processing of characters and line/column accounting, even with non-Unix end of lines. 3. Added routine xml_char_count to request the value of the character counter. 4. Initialize explicitly all components of derived-type variables at run time (Fortran90 does not allow to do this at compile time). 5. Proper echo of the XML declarations when they contain [, ], <, and > characters.
