New features in version 4.4
---------------------------

NF-44-MA08-027 Expose utf8 functions in unicode-ces-utf8.ads (2013-10-08)

   Some specialized UTF8 functions were added to this package, which can
   therefore be used in more contexts that just XML/Ada

NF-44-M916-017 Allow relative URI in namespace location (2013-09-17)

   For compatibility with older XML documents, XML/Ada can now be set up
   to allow relative URI when declaration namespaces. This needs to be
   activated through Sax.Allow_Relative_IRI_Feature.

NF-44-M805-006 Tree_Reader gives access to the current node (2013-08-21)

   The package DOM.Readers gives access to the DOM node that is being created.
   This allows users to more easily extend the Tree_Reader object to add their
   own processing, like creating custom attributes.

NF-44-LB01-017 attributeGroup support in simple type extensions (2012-11-08)

   It is now possible to extend a simple type in a XSD file, and define which
   attributes are valid in the extension through a <attributeGroup> tag.
   Previously, the attributes had to be specified one by one through the
   <attribute> tag.
