+Subject: [PATCH 1/4] xml-node: Use GString in rest_xml_node_print()
+
+The current code is using xml = g_strconcat (xml, ...) which is causing
+some leaks as g_strconcat returns a newly allocated string. Using
+GString avoids this issue without constantly freeing the intermediate
+strings.
+
+This fixes multiple leaks like:
+
+==16611== 18 bytes in 1 blocks are definitely lost in loss record 124 of 301
+==16611== at 0x4C2BBAD: malloc (vg_replace_malloc.c:299)
+==16611== by 0x5F5CE58: g_malloc (gmem.c:94)
+==16611== by 0x5F75B8E: g_strconcat (gstrfuncs.c:585)

+Subject: [PATCH 3/4] xml-node: Define the order in which attributes & children
+ are printed
+
+The order in which GHashTable returns its key-value pairs is undefined.
+Therefore the output of rest_xml_node_print can change based on the
+GHashTable implementation. While not strictly necessary, it would be
+nice to avoid that. Having a stable order, even if it is not
+documented and depends on the current RestXmlNode code, is handy for
+testing.
+
+This was the main reason behind the tests/xml.c breakage.

+%description
+This library was designed to make it easier to access web services that
+claim to be "RESTful". A RESTful service should have urls that represent
+remote objects, which methods can then be called on. The majority of services
+don't actually adhere to this strict definition. Instead, their RESTful end
+point usually has an API that is just simpler to use compared to other types
+of APIs they may support (XML-RPC, for instance). It is this kind of API that
+this library is attempting to support.
