0.6.0 / 2009-11-28¶ ↑

REMOVED: Support for Hpricot + REXML as an alternative to Nokogiri.

Hpricot and REXML were difficult to work with, REXML is terribly slow,
and Nokogiri is recommended even by the author of Hpricot (_why). Now
that Nokogiri works on JRuby, Webrat is going to use it as its sole
XML backend.
