420:    Added method ext_to_media_type, which returns the MIME media type for    a given extension    - o MIME.Message -  Guess mode added. *FIXME: expand on this jhs* -  +    o Oracle    The Oracle database glue now supports CLOBs and BLOBs.    -  + o Parser +  Added a few methods: get_xml_parser, which returns a Parser.HTML +  set up to parse XML, parse_html_entities and +  decode_numeric_xml_entity, which decode XML and HTML entities +  respectively. +  +  Examples: +  Parser.decode_numeric_xml_entity("#x7a") => "z" +  Parser.parse_html_entities("&gt;") => ">" +    o Parser.Python    Splits Python source code into text tokens.

The old behavior is emulated in
