XML Tools 2.3

Version 2.3 of Late Night Software's AppleScript Scripting Addition for parsing and generating XML offers the following changes, according to the developer's "What's New" page: "XML Tools now supports all aspects of the Native PowerPC Scripting Addition API as defined by Apple. Previous versions did not support reference counting"; "Added XML element id to the XML Element class to indicate element serialization," replacing "the old way of doing this via an ID attribute that proved difficult to use from AppleScript"; "XML Tools now properly reports mismatched tag errors"; "Some memory management errors have been resolved which should resolve some instability problems"; and "The generate XML command now properly handles 'without pretty printing' and white space is no longer introduced into the resulting XML stream."
