Released libxml2-2.5.11 to fix a couple of critical bugs from libxm2-2.5.10 just before Gnome 2.4 release.

And just commited to CVS a complete change of the XML parser to use a different SAX2 based interface, this will provide namespace support and attribute defaulting for SAX users. There is also major changes inside the parser, like string interning, avoiding memory allocation and copies, it's not all finished but start looking solid in my regression tests. I labelled that version as 2.6.0beta1 and uploaded it for testing in xmlsoft.org FTP area

Tested the change on my severn beta test box, apparently the gnome desktop is coming up correctly, as well as a few applications I tried so binary compatibility seems to work so far. BTW the gnome info on that desktop indicate 2.3.7, and even on a low powered Celeon 400 + BP6 + 128MB of ram the desktop is usable :-)
