libxml2 2.5.10 and libxslt 1.0.32 released

Daniel Veillard has released new versions of libxml2 and libxslt, classifying the libxml2 release as a "major bugfix release", and writing that libxml2 2.5.9 and 2.5.10 "include a lot of bugfixes spanning the whole library; upgrading is strongly recommended." The libxslt 1.0.32 release is also significant in that it is the first to include Python bindings for extension elements. [xmlhack]

I've been using libxml2 in Python a lot lately. It's the first XML parser I actually like, mainly because of the very convenient XPath API.
