                      2:         - Fixed bugs #1515266, 1515600: The character data handler's calling
                      3:           of XML_StopParser() was not handled properly; if the parser was
                      4:           stopped and the handler set to NULL, the parser would segfault.
                      5:         - Fixed bug #1690883: Expat failed on EBCDIC systems as it assumed
                      6:           some character constants to be ASCII encoded.
                      7:         - Minor cleanups of the test harness.
                      8:         - Fixed xmlwf bug #1513566: "out of memory" error on file size zero.
                      9:         - Fixed outline.c bug #1543233: missing a final XML_ParserFree() call.
                     10:         - Fixes and improvements for Windows platform:
                     11:           bugs #1409451, #1476160, 1548182, 1602769, 1717322.

                     15:                     #1490371, #1613457: support both, DESTDIR and INSTALL_ROOT,
                     16:                     without relying on GNU-Make specific features.
                     17:           #1647805: Patched configure.in to work better with Intel compiler.

                     23:         - We no longer use the "check" library for C unit testing; we
                     24:           always use the (partial) internal implementation of the API.
                     25:         - Report XML_NS setting via XML_GetFeatureList().

                     33:         - Some mostly minor bug fixes. SF issues include: 1006708,
                     34:           1021776, 1023646, 1114960, 1156398, 1221160, 1271642.

                     37:         - Major new feature: suspend/resume.  Handlers can now request
                     38:           that a parse be suspended for later resumption or aborted
                     39:           altogether.  See "Temporarily Stopping Parsing" in the
                     40:           documentation for more details.
                     41:         - Some mostly minor bug fixes, but compilation should no
                     42:           longer generate warnings on most platforms.  SF issues
                     43:           include: 827319, 840173, 846309, 888329, 896188, 923913,

                     45: 
                     46: Release 1.95.7 Mon Oct 20 2003
                     47:         - Fixed enum XML_Status issue (reported on SourceForge many
                     48:           times), so compilers that are properly picky will be happy.
                     49:         - Introduced an XMLCALL macro to control the calling
                     50:           convention used by the Expat API; this macro should be used
                     51:           to annotate prototypes and definitions of callback
                     52:           implementations in code compiled with a calling convention
                     53:           other than the default convention for the host platform.
                     54:         - Improved ability to build without the configure-generated
                     55:           expat_config.h header.  This is useful for applications
                     56:           which embed Expat rather than linking in the library.
                     57:         - Fixed a variety of bugs: see SF issues 458907, 609603,
                     58:           676844, 679754, 692878, 692964, 695401, 699323, 699487,

                     67:           618199, 653180, 673791.

                     75:         - Use an incomplete struct instead of a void* for the parser
                     76:           (may not retain).
                     77:         - Fixed UTF-8 decoding bug that caused legal UTF-8 to be rejected.
                     78:         - Finally fixed bug where default handler would report DTD
                     79:           events that were already handled by another handler.

                     81:         - Removed unnecessary DllMain() function that caused static
