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

50: All Unix: #1554618 (refreshed config.sub/config.guess).
51: #1490371, #1613457: support both, DESTDIR and INSTALL_ROOT,
52: without relying on GNU-Make specific features.
53: #1647805: Patched configure.in to work better with Intel compiler.
54: - Fixes to Makefile.in to have make check work correctly:
55: bugs #1408143, #1535603, #1536684.
56: - Added Open Watcom support: patch #1523242.
57:
58: Release 2.0.0 Wed Jan 11 2006
59: - We no longer use the "check" library for C unit testing; we
60: always use the (partial) internal implementation of the API.
61: - Report XML_NS setting via XML_GetFeatureList().
62: - Fixed headers for use from C++.
63: - XML_GetCurrentLineNumber() and XML_GetCurrentColumnNumber()
64: now return unsigned integers.
65: - Added XML_LARGE_SIZE switch to enable 64-bit integers for
66: byte indexes and line/column numbers.
67: - Updated to use libtool 1.5.22 (the most recent).
68: - Added support for AmigaOS.
69: - Some mostly minor bug fixes. SF issues include: #1006708,
70: #1021776, #1023646, #1114960, #1156398, #1221160, #1271642.
71:
72: Release 1.95.8 Fri Jul 23 2004
73: - Major new feature: suspend/resume. Handlers can now request
74: that a parse be suspended for later resumption or aborted
75: altogether. See "Temporarily Stopping Parsing" in the
76: documentation for more details.
77: - Some mostly minor bug fixes, but compilation should no
78: longer generate warnings on most platforms. SF issues
79: include: #827319, #840173, #846309, #888329, #896188, #923913,
80: #928113, #961698, #985192.
81:
82: Release 1.95.7 Mon Oct 20 2003
83: - Fixed enum XML_Status issue (reported on SourceForge many
84: times), so compilers that are properly picky will be happy.
85: - Introduced an XMLCALL macro to control the calling
86: convention used by the Expat API; this macro should be used
87: to annotate prototypes and definitions of callback
88: implementations in code compiled with a calling convention
89: other than the default convention for the host platform.
90: - Improved ability to build without the configure-generated
91: expat_config.h header. This is useful for applications
92: which embed Expat rather than linking in the library.
93: - Fixed a variety of bugs: see SF issues #458907, #609603,
94: #676844, #679754, #692878, #692964, #695401, #699323, #699487,

103: #618199, #653180, #673791.
104: - Enhanced the regression test suite.
105: - Man page improvements: includes SF issue #632146.

109: - Added XML_GetFeatureList().

115: events that were already handled by another handler.
116: Initial patch contributed by Darryl Miles.
117: - Removed unnecessary DllMain() function that caused static
118: linking into a DLL to be difficult.
119: - Added VC++ projects for building static libraries.
120: - Reduced line-length for all source code and headers to be
121: no longer than 80 characters, to help with AS/400 support.
122: - Reduced memory copying during parsing (SF patch #600964).
123: - Fixed a variety of bugs: see SF issues #580793, #434664,

145: version of the library; the DLLs are named libexpatw.dll.
146: - Changed the name of the Windows DLLs from expat.dll to
147: libexpat.dll; this fixes SF bug #432456.
