### Fixes:
- Security: Misinterpretation of malicious XML input [`CVE-2021-32796`](https://github.com/xmldom/xmldom/security/advisories/GHSA-5fg8-2547-mr8q)
- Implement `Document.getElementsByClassName` as specified [`#213`](https://github.com/xmldom/xmldom/pull/213), thank you [@ChALkeR](https://github.com/ChALkeR)
- Inherit namespace prefix from parent when required [`#268`](https://github.com/xmldom/xmldom/pull/268)
- Handle whitespace in closing tags [`#267`](https://github.com/xmldom/xmldom/pull/267)
- Update `DOMImplementation` according to recent specs [`#210`](https://github.com/xmldom/xmldom/pull/210)
BREAKING CHANGE: Only if you "passed features to be marked as available as a constructor arguments" and expected it to "magically work".
- No longer serializes any namespaces with an empty URI [`#244`](https://github.com/xmldom/xmldom/pull/244)
(related to [`#168`](https://github.com/xmldom/xmldom/pull/168) released in 0.6.0)
BREAKING CHANGE: Only if you rely on ["unsetting" a namespace prefix](https://github.com/xmldom/xmldom/pull/168#issuecomment-886984994) by setting it to an empty string
- Set `localName` as part of `Document.createElement` [`#229`](https://github.com/xmldom/xmldom/pull/229), thank you [@rrthomas](https://github.com/rrthomas)
### CI
- We are now additionally running tests against node v16
- Stryker tests on the master branch now run against node v14

- Avoid misinterpretation of malicious XML input - [`GHSA-h6q6-9hqw-rwfv`](https://github.com/xmldom/xmldom/security/advisories/GHSA-h6q6-9hqw-rwfv) (CVE-2021-21366)
- Improve error reporting; throw on duplicate attribute\
BREAKING CHANGE: It is currently not clear how to consistently deal with duplicate attributes, so it's also safer for our users to fail when detecting them.
It's possible to configure the `DOMParser.errorHandler` before parsing, to handle those errors differently.
To accomplish this and also be able to verify it in tests I needed to
- create a new `Error` type `ParseError` and export it
- Throw `ParseError` from `errorHandler.fatalError` and prevent those from being caught in `XMLReader`.
- export `DOMHandler` constructor as `__DOMHandler`
- Preserve quotes in DOCTYPE declaration
Since the only purpose of parsing the DOCTYPE is to be able to restore it when serializing, we decided that it would be best to leave the parsed `publicId` and `systemId` as is, including any quotes.
BREAKING CHANGE: If somebody relies on the actual unquoted values of those ids, they will need to take care of either single or double quotes and the right escaping.
(Without this change this would not have been possible because the SAX parser already dropped the information about the quotes that have been used in the source.)

The patch versions (`v0.1.29` - `v0.1.31`) that have been released on the [v0.1.x branch](https://github.com/xmldom/xmldom/tree/0.1.x), to reflect the changed maintainers, **are branched off from [`v0.1.27`](#0127) so they don't include the breaking changes introduced in [`xmldom-alpha@v0.1.28`](#0128)**:
## Maintainer changes
After the last commit to the original repository <https://github.com/jindw/xmldom> on the 9th of May 2017, the first commit to <https://github.com/xmldom/xmldom> is from the 19th of December 2019. [The fork has been announced in the original repository on the 2nd of March 2020.](https://github.com/jindw/xmldom/issues/259)
The versions listed below have been published to one or both of the following packages:
- <https://www.npmjs.com/package/xmldom-alpha>
- <https://www.npmjs.com/package/xmldom>
It is currently not planned to continue publishing the `xmldom-alpha` package.
The new maintainers did not invest time to understand changes that led to the last `xmldom` version [`0.1.27`](#0127) published by the original maintainer, but consider it the basis for their work.
A timeline of all the changes that happened from that version until `0.3.0` is available in <https://github.com/xmldom/xmldom/issues/62>. Any related questions should be asked there.
