+       (fixes bug 1968, too)
+     * slighlty more strict parse_string behavior (now same as when
+       parsing fh, etc): e.g. parse_string("<foo:bar>"), i.e prefix without
+       NS declaration, raises error unless recover(1) is used
+     * documentation fixes/updates
+     * slightly updated test set to reflect the new slightly more strict
+       parsing.
