Changes

v0.5.0 April 2012
- Extensive rewrite of MARC::Reader (ISO 2709 binary reader) to provide a 
  fairly complete and consistent handing of char encoding issues in ruby 1.9. 
  - This code is well covered by automated tests, but ends up complex, there
    may be bugs, please report them. 
  - May not work properly under jruby with non-unicode source encodings. 
  - Still can't handle Marc8 encoding. 
  - May not have entirely backwards compatible behavior with regard to char
    encodings under ruby 1.9.x as previous 0.4.x versions. Test your code. 
    In particular, previous versions may have automatically _transcoded_
    non-unicode encodings to UTF-8 for you. This version will not do
    so unless you ask it to with correct arguments. 

v0.4.4 Sat Mar 03 14:55:00 EDT 2012
- Fixed performance regression: strict reader will parse about 5x faster now
- Updated CHANGES file for first time in a long time :-)

v0.3.0 Wed Sep 23 21:51:00 EDT 2009
- Nokogiri and jrexml parser integration added as well as Ruby 1.9 support

v0.2.2 Tue Dec 30 09:50:33 EST 2008
- DataField tags that are all numeric are now padded with leading zeros

v0.2.1 Mon Aug 18 14:14:16 EDT 2008
- can now process records that have fields tags that are non-numeric (thanks
  Ross Singer)

v0.2.0 Wed Jun 11 12:42:20 EDT 2008
- added newline to output generated by REXML::Formatters::Default to make 
  it a bit more friendly. REXML::Formatters::Pretty and Transitive just 
  don't do what I want (whitespace in weird places).

v0.1.9 Thu Jun  5 12:00:01 EDT 2008
- small docfix change in XMLReader
- use REXML::Formatters::Default instead of deprecated REXML::Element.write

v0.1.8 Tue Nov 13 22:51:03 EST 2007
- added examples directory
- fixed problem with leading whitespace and the leader in xml reader 
  (thanks Morgan Cundiff)

v0.1.7 Mon Nov 12 09:33:57 EST 2007
- updated Record.to_marc documentation to be a bit more precise
- removed doc references to MARC::Field which is no longer around
- changed from Artistic to MIT License

v0.1.6 Fri May  4 12:37:33 EDT 2007
- fixed bad record length test
- removed MARC::XMLWriter convert_to_utf8 which wasn't really working and
  shouldn't be there if it isn't good
- added unescaping of entities to MARC::XMLReader

v0.1.5 Tue May  1 16:50:02 EDT 2007
- docfix in MARC::DataField (thanks Jason Ronallo)
- multiple docfixes (thanks Jonathan Rochkind)

v0.1.4 Tue Jan  2 15:45:53 EST 2007
- fixed bug in MARC::XMLWriter that was outputting all control field tags as 00z
  (thanks Ross Singer)
- added :include_namespace option to MARC::XMLWriter::encode to include the
  marcxml namespace, which allows MARC::Record::to_xml to emit the namespace 
  for a single record.

v0.1.3  Tue Jan  2 12:56:36 EST 2007
- added ability to map a MARC record to the Dublin Core fields.  Calling
  to_dublin_core on a MARC::Record returns a hash that has Dublin Core fields
  as the hash keys.

v0.1.2  Thu Dec 21 18:46:01 EST 2007
- fixed MARC::Record::to_xml so that it actually is tested and works (thanks 
  Ross Singer)

v0.1.1
- added ability to pass File like objects to the constructor for 
  MARC::XMLReader like MARC::Reader (thanks Jake Glenn)

v0.1.0  Wed Dec  6 15:40:40 EST 2006
- fixed pretty xml when stylesheet is used
- added value() to MARC::DataField
- added Rakefile for testing/building

v0.0.9  Tue Mar 28 10:02:16 CST 2006
- changed XMLWriter.write to output pretty-printed XML

  values
- added XMLWriter check and replacement for invalid control codes in xml data
  values
- added XMLWriter checks for values in the leader that are invalid MARCXML
- added bin/marc2xml
- collapsed tc_xmlreader.rb tc_xmlwriter.rb into tc_xml.rb for full write/read
  test.
- added :stylesheet argument to XLMWriter.new

v0.0.8  Mon Jan 16 22:31:00 EST 2006

- changed control/field to controlfield/datafield
- added == check for controlfield
- removed namespace declarations on record elements in favor of default 
  namespace on collection element
- added spaces around subfield code and delimeter in to_s
- fixed up relevant tests that were expecting old formatting
- fixed xmlreader strip_ns which was rerturning Nil when no namespace
  was found on an element (exposed by namespace changes).

v0.0.7  Mon Jan  2 21:39:28 CST 2006
- MARC::XMLWriter added
- removed encode/decode methods in MARC::MARC21 into MARC::Writer and 
  MARC::Reader respectively. This required pushing MARC21 specific constants 
  out into MARC::Constants which is required as necessary.
- moved encode from MARC::MARXML into MARC::XMLWriter and added constants
  to MARC::Constants
- added MARC::XMLReader for reading MARX as XML
- added xml reading tests
- fixed indentation to be two spaces

v0.0.6  Tue Oct 18 09:33:12 CDT 2005

  which case the field is skipped entirely

- fixed off by one error when reading in leader, previous versions were
  reading an extra character

v0.0.3  Mon Oct 17 22:51:23 CDT 2005
- added ForgivingReader class and support for reading records without using
  possibly faulty offsets when the user needs them.

v0.0.2  Mon Oct 17 17:42:57 CDT 2005
- updated version string to see if it'll fix some gem oddness
