Version 0.6.5 (17 Jul 2002) [zip] [tgz]: Fixed bug in changing character encoding when "charset=..." is not written in lowercase; and mark attributes as "specified".

Version 0.6.1 (23 May 2002) [zip] [tgz]: Changed tag balancer behavior to swallow events after the close of the <html> tag to ensure that the document stream remains well-formed; added additional Ruby elements; and improved tag balancer performance.
Version 0.6 (12 May 2002) [zip] [tgz]: Added property to allow custom document filters to be appended to the default NekoHTML parser pipeline; added convenience filters for serializing HTML documents and removing elements from the document event stream; added samples to demonstrate the filtering feature; added experimental functionality to allow applications to dynamically insert content into the HTML document stream; added a minimal Xerces2 Jar file containing just the files required for using the HTMLConfiguration class directly to alleviate full dependence on Xerces2 distribution; applied patch from Serge Proskuryakov to fix handling of misplaced <title> within <body>; fixed minor tag balancing bug; and re-organized and added new documentation.
