Announce: SVG::Metadata 0.19 (was Re: [Clipart] FYI: SVG::Metadata -> to_rdf() doesn't escape metadata content)

[Bryce Harrington]

SVG::Metadata 0.19 has been posted to CPAN and should be available for
download within a few hours.

The change for this release is adding support for escaping of <, >, and
&, as suggested by Matteo, below.

Good point.  I've added a routine to escape these three entities (are
there any others that should be escaped?) to SVG::Metadata.

Please test this and let me know if it works (I didn't test it against
your file, just made sure the regression tests pass).

Thanks,
