1698: </ul></li>
1699: </ul><h3>2.0.0: Apr 12 2000</h3><ul><li>First public release of libxml2. If you are using libxml, it's a good
1700: idea to check the 1.x to 2.x upgrade instructions. NOTE: while initially
1701: scheduled for Apr 3 the release occurred only on Apr 12 due to massive
1702: workload.</li>
1703: <li>The include are now located under $prefix/include/libxml (instead of
1704: $prefix/include/gnome-xml), they also are referenced by
1705: <pre>#include <libxml/xxx.h></pre>
1706: <p>instead of</p>
1707: <pre>#include "xxx.h"</pre>
1708: </li>
1709: <li>a new URI module for parsing URIs and following strictly RFC 2396</li>
1710: <li>the memory allocation routines used by libxml can now be overloaded
1711: dynamically by using xmlMemSetup()</li>
1712: <li>The previously CVS only tool tester has been renamed
1713: <strong>xmllint</strong> and is now installed as part of the libxml2
1714: package</li>
1715: <li>The I/O interface has been revamped. There is now ways to plug in
1716: specific I/O modules, either at the URI scheme detection level using
1717: xmlRegisterInputCallbacks() or by passing I/O functions when creating a
1718: parser context using xmlCreateIOParserCtxt()</li>
1719: <li>there is a C preprocessor macro LIBXML_VERSION providing the version
1720: number of the libxml module in use</li>
1721: <li>a number of optional features of libxml can now be excluded at
1722: configure time (FTP/HTTP/HTML/XPath/Debug)</li>
1723: </ul><h3>2.0.0beta: Mar 14 2000</h3><ul><li>This is a first Beta release of libxml version 2</li>
1724: <li>It's available only from<a href="ftp://xmlsoft.org/libxml2/">xmlsoft.org
1725: FTP</a>, it's packaged as libxml2-2.0.0beta and available as tar and
1726: RPMs</li>
1727: <li>This version is now the head in the Gnome CVS base, the old one is
1728: available under the tag LIB_XML_1_X</li>
1729: <li>This includes a very large set of changes. From a programmatic point
1730: of view applications should not have to be modified too much, check the
1731: <a href="upgrade.html">upgrade page</a></li>
1732: <li>Some interfaces may changes (especially a bit about encoding).</li>
1733: <li>the updates includes:
1734: <ul><li>fix I18N support. ISO-Latin-x/UTF-8/UTF-16 (nearly) seems correctly
1735: handled now</li>
1736: <li>Better handling of entities, especially well-formedness checking
1737: and proper PEref extensions in external subsets</li>
1738: <li>DTD conditional sections</li>
1739: <li>Validation now correctly handle entities content</li>
1740: <li><a href="http://rpmfind.net/tools/gdome/messages/0039.html">change
1741: structures to accommodate DOM</a></li>
1742: </ul></li>
1743: <li>Serious progress were made toward compliance, <a href="conf/result.html">here are the result of the test</a> against the
1744: OASIS testsuite (except the Japanese tests since I don't support that
1745: encoding yet). This URL is rebuilt every couple of hours using the CVS
1746: head version.</li>
1747: </ul><h3>1.8.7: Mar 6 2000</h3><ul><li>This is a bug fix release:</li>
1748: <li>It is possible to disable the ignorable blanks heuristic used by
1749: libxml-1.x, a new function xmlKeepBlanksDefault(0) will allow this. Note
1750: that for adherence to XML spec, this behaviour will be disabled by
1751: default in 2.x . The same function will allow to keep compatibility for
1752: old code.</li>
1753: <li>Blanks in <a> </a> constructs are not ignored anymore,
1754: avoiding heuristic is really the Right Way :-\</li>
1755: <li>The unchecked use of snprintf which was breaking libxml-1.8.6
1756: compilation on some platforms has been fixed</li>

1758: URIs</li>

1789: <li>a problem in one of the core macros IS_CHAR was corrected</li>
1790: <li>fixed a bug introduced in 1.8.0 breaking default namespace processing,

1812: 1.7.1 from <strong>CHAR</strong> to <strong>xmlChar</strong>. The reason

1814: on non WIN32 environment, compatibility is provided by the way of a
1815: <strong>#define </strong>.</li>
1816: <li>Changed another error : the use of a structure field called errno, and
