Release notes
-------------
This release is *NOT BACKWARD COMPATIBLE*.
I'm sorry for the BC break, but due to security considerations XML_Query2XML
does not use the native function eval() anymore. Therefore
- the "!" prefix is not supported anymore
- the behaviour of the "condition" option was changed
- the new callback prefix "#" was added (use it instead of the "!" prefix)
A migration strategy is documented at
http://query2xml.sf.net/docs/html/XML_Query2XML/tutorial_XML_Query2XML.pkg.html#migration
Also:
- unit tests were migrated from PHPUnit2 to phpt
- XML_Query2XML now comes with 433 unit tests
- migrated from package.xml version 1.0 to version 2.0
