Description Toby Corkindale 2006-11-27 04:53:58 UTC
dev-perl/XML-LibXML for the Perl module XML::LibXML currently marks a rather old version as stable - 1.58, which was released two and a half years ago, and is missing a lot of fixes and new functionality.

I suggest that the newer versions have had sufficient time to stabilise since then, and some should be marked as stable.


Also, thought I'd mention that there's a 1.62 out currently, a minor revision up from the current-highest version in Portage.
