1826: - lot of various fixes
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
1832: scheduled for Apr 3 the release occurred only on Apr 12 due to massive
1833: workload.
1834: - The include are now located under $prefix/include/libxml (instead of
1835: $prefix/include/gnome-xml), they also are referenced by
1836: #include <libxml/xxx.h>
1837: instead of
1838: #include "xxx.h"
1839:
1840: - a new URI module for parsing URIs and following strictly RFC 2396
1841: - the memory allocation routines used by libxml can now be overloaded
1842: dynamically by using xmlMemSetup()
1843: - The previously CVS only tool tester has been renamed
1844: xmllint and is now installed as part of the libxml2
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
1858: - It's available only fromxmlsoft.org
1859: FTP, it's packaged as libxml2-2.0.0beta and available as tar and
1860: RPMs
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

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 :-\
1900: - The unchecked use of snprintf which was breaking libxml-1.8.6
1901: compilation on some platforms has been fixed

1914: - fixed a hideous bug in xmlGetProp pointed by Rune.Djurhuus@fast.no
1915: - Jody Goldberg <jgoldberg@home.com> provided another patch trying
1916: to solve the zlib checks problems

1938:
1939:
1940: 1.8.2: Dec 21 1999:
1941: - I got another problem with includes and C++, I hope this issue is fixed
1942: for good this time

1944: xmlAddPrevSibling, xmlAddNextSibling, xmlNodeSetName and
1945: xmlDocSetRootElement
1946: - Tried to improve the HTML output with help from Chris Lahey
1947:
1948:
1949: 1.8.1: Dec 18 1999:
1950: - various patches to avoid troubles when using libxml with C++ compilers
1951: the "namespace" keyword and C escaping in include files
1952: - a problem in one of the core macros IS_CHAR was corrected
1953: - fixed a bug introduced in 1.8.0 breaking default namespace processing,
1954: and more specifically the Dia application
1955: - fixed a posteriori validation (validation after parsing, or by using a
1956: Dtd not specified in the original document)
1957: - fixed a bug in
1958:
1959:
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 !
1964: - Integrated various patches, especially a speedup improvement for large
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
1969: does entities escaping by default.
1970:
1971:
1972: 1.7.4: Oct 25 1999:

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
1989: on non WIN32 environment, compatibility is provided by the way of a
1990: #define .
1991: - Changed another error : the use of a structure field called errno, and
1992: leading to troubles on platforms where it's a macro
1993:
1994:
