Ross Bamford announced on ruby-talk that he is updating the API docs for the Ruby libxml bindings, and has a first cut available on his site.

It's quite basic but it has the all-important 'what methods does it have' thing about it. It covers the last version released by Trans (I think?), version 0.3.4-04.04.14.

 

Please be advised that a few bugs have been found:

• Problems with the default validation on XML::Parser (DTD/Schema validation should be unaffected)
• Some small memory leaks across the library
• Incompatibilities with GCC 4.0
• Moving nodes between Node/NodeSet operations can cause segfault at Ruby exit.
• XPointer/XPath range support is buggy.

However I have the critical stuff patched up here and hopefully we'll be able to get an interim release out very soon.

Ross cautions that the URL is temporary, and it may at some point be a redirect to libxml on rubyforge.
