Update NEWS

v1.3.7

Fix spelling

xml2 1.3.6

• Now compatible with libxml2 2.12.0 and later (@KNnut).

• Fixed format string issues detected in R-devel.

• Remove unused dependencies on glue, withr and lifecycle (@mgirlich).

• print() is faster for very long xml_nodeset inputs (#366, @MichaelChirico).

• xml_attr(), xml_attrs(), xml_double(), xml_integer(), xml_length(),
  xml_name(), xml_path(), xml_text(), and xml_type() no longer use
  S3 dispatch but instead dispatch in C, leading to considerable performance
  improvements in many cases (@mgirlich, #400).

• xml_find_int() analogous to xml_find_num() for returning integers
  matched by an XPath (#365, @MichaelChirico).

• xml_serialize() now includes the document type so that xml_unserialize()
  works also for HTML documents (#407, @HenrikBengtsson).

• Small speedup for xml_find_all() (@mgirlich, #393).

• Fixes for R CMD check problems.

• xml_find_all.xml_nodeset() gains a flatten argument to control whether to return a single nodeset or a list of nodesets (#311, @jakejh)

• write_xml() and write_html() now return NULL invisibly, as they did prior to version 1.3.0 (#307)

• XPtr gets explicit copy constructor and assignment operator definitions, which were two missing components of the Rule of three (@MichaelChirico)

• Windows: update to libxml2 2.9.10 and libxslt 1.1.34 and add ucrt libs

xml2 1.3.2

• read_html() and read_xml() now error if passed strings of length greater than one (#121)
