Almost all functions and methods accept flags now
Wrote features & limitations in the documentation
Wrote a 'function flags' section in the documentation
0.092 Mar 5th, 2007
check_xml, which used to be able to check XML strings only, can now check XML files also
Added an optional 'soft' mode to xml_to_simple and xml_to_object functions, which returns undef instead of dying in case of error

0.091 Mar 4th, 2007
xml_to_simple and xml_to_object can now accept a filename for an argument
Minor alterations in the documentation
0.09 Mar 3rd, 2007
simple_to_xml($simple_ref) has been changed to allow the argument to be a hashref, an arrayref or a mixed structure
0.083 Mar 3rd, 2007
Changed the way that flags are set. Instead of a string such as 'strip internal', it's with a hashref { strip => 1, internal => 1 }. Module stops execution and informs about the change, if programmer tries to set flags with the old way.

Added an 'internal' mode for the &xml_to_simple function
Added a 'strip' mode for the ->value method that strips surrounding whitespace
0.08 Mar 1st, 2007
