-- solved an [XML bomb](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billion_laughs) vulnerability
-
-Important note: due to the security fix ROME now forbids all Doctype declarations by default. This will break compatibility with RSS 0.91 Netscape
-because it requires a Doctype declaration. When you experience problems you have to activate the property **allowDoctypes** on the SyndFeedInput object. You 
-should only use this possibility when the feeds that you process are absolutely trustful.
