! 1827:
! 1828:
! 1829: 2.0.0: Apr 12 2000:
! 1830: - First public release of libxml2. If you are using libxml, it's a good
! 1831: idea to check the 1.x to 2.x upgrade instructions. NOTE: while initially

! 1833: workload.
! 1834: - The include are now located under $prefix/include/libxml (instead of

! 1845: package
! 1846: - The I/O interface has been revamped. There is now ways to plug in
! 1847: specific I/O modules, either at the URI scheme detection level using
! 1848: xmlRegisterInputCallbacks() or by passing I/O functions when creating a
! 1849: parser context using xmlCreateIOParserCtxt()
! 1850: - there is a C preprocessor macro LIBXML_VERSION providing the version
! 1851: number of the libxml module in use
! 1852: - a number of optional features of libxml can now be excluded at
! 1853: configure time (FTP/HTTP/HTML/XPath/Debug)
! 1854:
! 1855:
! 1856: 2.0.0beta: Mar 14 2000:
! 1857: - This is a first Beta release of libxml version 2

! 1861: - This version is now the head in the Gnome CVS base, the old one is
! 1862: available under the tag LIB_XML_1_X
! 1863: - This includes a very large set of changes. From a programmatic point
! 1864: of view applications should not have to be modified too much, check the
! 1865: upgrade page
! 1866: - Some interfaces may changes (especially a bit about encoding).
! 1867: - the updates includes:
! 1868: fix I18N support. ISO-Latin-x/UTF-8/UTF-16 (nearly) seems correctly
! 1869: handled now
! 1870: Better handling of entities, especially well-formedness checking
! 1871: and proper PEref extensions in external subsets
! 1872: DTD conditional sections
! 1873: Validation now correctly handle entities content
! 1874: change
! 1875: structures to accommodate DOM
! 1876:
! 1877: - fix I18N support. ISO-Latin-x/UTF-8/UTF-16 (nearly) seems correctly
! 1878: handled now

! 1881: - DTD conditional sections
! 1882: - Validation now correctly handle entities content
! 1883: - change
! 1884: structures to accommodate DOM
! 1885: - Serious progress were made toward compliance, here are the result of the test against the
! 1886: OASIS testsuite (except the Japanese tests since I don't support that
! 1887: encoding yet). This URL is rebuilt every couple of hours using the CVS
! 1888: head version.
! 1889:
! 1890:
! 1891: 1.8.7: Mar 6 2000:
! 1892: - This is a bug fix release:
! 1893: - It is possible to disable the ignorable blanks heuristic used by
! 1894: libxml-1.x, a new function xmlKeepBlanksDefault(0) will allow this. Note
! 1895: that for adherence to XML spec, this behaviour will be disabled by
! 1896: default in 2.x . The same function will allow to keep compatibility for
! 1897: old code.
! 1898: - Blanks in <a> </a> constructs are not ignored anymore,
! 1899: avoiding heuristic is really the Right Way :-\

! 1938:
! 1939:
! 1940: 1.8.2: Dec 21 1999:

! 1942: for good this time

! 1944: xmlAddPrevSibling, xmlAddNextSibling, xmlNodeSetName and
! 1945: xmlDocSetRootElement

! 1957: - fixed a bug in

! 1960: 1.8.0: Dec 12 1999:
! 1961: - cleanup, especially memory wise
! 1962: - the parser should be more reliable, especially the HTML one, it should
! 1963: not crash, whatever the input !

! 1965: dataset from Carl Nygard,
! 1966: configure with --with-buffers to enable them.
! 1967: - attribute normalization, oops should have been added long ago !
! 1968: - attributes defaulted from DTDs should be available, xmlSetProp() now

! 1986: - The basic type for strings manipulated by libxml has been renamed in
! 1987: 1.7.1 from CHAR to xmlChar. The reason
! 1988: is that CHAR was conflicting with a predefined type on Windows. However

! 1990: #define .
! 1991: - Changed another error : the use of a structure field called errno, and
