+Release Notes for minixsv, Release 0.3
+
+minixsv is a XML schema validator written in "pure" Python.
+
+Currently only a subset of the XML schema standard is supported
+(list of limitations/restrictions see below).
+
+minixsv currently uses minidom or elementtree as XML parser
+Other parsers can easily be adapted by implementing an appropriate interface class
+Whitespaces inside strings are automatically normalized/collapsed as specified in the XML schema file
+Default/Fixed attributes are automatically inserted if not specified in the input file
+
