Bug #8754: Stop checking for old REXML versions

• Status: Closed
• Assignee: kou (Kouhei Sutou)
• Target version: -
• ruby -v: 2.1.0-dev
• Backport: 1.9.3: UNKNOWN, 2.0.0: UNKNOWN

Given that Ruby 2.0 ships with REXML 3.1.7.3, and both REXML and RSS are in the standard library, there should be no way to have an REXML < 2.5.

May Ruby be with you.

• lib/rss/rexmlparser.rb: Remove needless REXML version check.
  Both RSS Parser and REXML are bundled in Ruby. RSS Parser can
  always use the latest REXML. [Bug #8754] [ruby-core:56454]
  Patch by Steve Klabnik. Thanks!!!

Thanks! I've merged it.
The code was written before lib/rss/ is bundled in Ruby.
