Bugs were fixed in Printer, Attr and elsewhere. __repr__ has been added so that orbless users can get more useful results from printing Node instances. 0.8.0 News ---------- There have been many changes to 4DOM since the last major release, 0.7.0. There were two more releases, which were only bundled with 4XSL.
