+ Major release, featuring a lot of performance improvements and some new features. +

+ Specification changes: +
1. + xml_document::load(const char_t*) was renamed to load_string; the + old method is still available and will be deprecated in a future + release +
2. + xml_node::select_single_node was renamed to select_node; the old + method is still available and will be deprecated in a future release. +
+
+ New features: +
1. + Added xml_node::append_move and other functions for moving nodes + within a document +
2. + Added xpath_query::evaluate_node for evaluating queries with a single + node as a result +
+
+ Performance improvements: +
1. + Optimized XML parsing (10-40% faster with clang/gcc, up to 10% faster + with MSVC) +
2. + Optimized memory consumption when copying nodes in the same document + (string contents is now shared) +
3. + Optimized node copying (10% faster for cross-document copies, 3x + faster for inter-document copies; also it now consumes a constant + amount of stack space) +
4. + Optimized node output (60% faster; also it now consumes a constant + amount of stack space) +
5. + Optimized XPath allocation (query evaluation now results in fewer + temporary allocations) +
6. + Optimized XPath sorting (node set sorting is 2-3x faster in some + cases) +
7. + Optimized XPath evaluation (XPathMark suite is 100x faster; some + commonly used queries are 3-4x faster) +
+
+ Compatibility improvements: +
1. + Fixed xml_node::offset_debug for corner cases +
2. + Fixed undefined behavior while calling memcpy in some cases +
3. + Fixed MSVC 2015 compilation warnings +
4. + Fixed contrib/foreach.hpp for Boost 1.56.0 +
+
+ Bug fixes +
1. + Adjusted comment output to avoid malformed documents if the comment + value contains "--" +
2. + Fix XPath sorting for documents that were constructed using append_buffer +
