1821: </ul></li>
1822: </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
1823: idea to check the 1.x to 2.x upgrade instructions. NOTE: while initially
1824: scheduled for Apr 3 the release occurred only on Apr 12 due to massive
1825: workload.</li>
1826: <li>The include are now located under $prefix/include/libxml (instead of
1827: $prefix/include/gnome-xml), they also are referenced by

1836: <strong>xmllint</strong> and is now installed as part of the libxml2
1837: package</li>
1838: <li>The I/O interface has been revamped. There is now ways to plug in
1839: specific I/O modules, either at the URI scheme detection level using
1840: xmlRegisterInputCallbacks() or by passing I/O functions when creating a
1841: parser context using xmlCreateIOParserCtxt()</li>
1842: <li>there is a C preprocessor macro LIBXML_VERSION providing the version
1843: number of the libxml module in use</li>
1844: <li>a number of optional features of libxml can now be excluded at
1845: configure time (FTP/HTTP/HTML/XPath/Debug)</li>
1846: </ul><h3>2.0.0beta: Mar 14 2000</h3><ul><li>This is a first Beta release of libxml version 2</li>

1848: FTP</a>, it's packaged as libxml2-2.0.0beta and available as tar and
1849: RPMs</li>
1850: <li>This version is now the head in the Gnome CVS base, the old one is
1851: available under the tag LIB_XML_1_X</li>
1852: <li>This includes a very large set of changes. From a programmatic point
1853: of view applications should not have to be modified too much, check the
1854: <a href="upgrade.html">upgrade page</a></li>
1855: <li>Some interfaces may changes (especially a bit about encoding).</li>
1856: <li>the updates includes:
1857: <ul><li>fix I18N support. ISO-Latin-x/UTF-8/UTF-16 (nearly) seems correctly
1858: handled now</li>
1859: <li>Better handling of entities, especially well-formedness checking
1860: and proper PEref extensions in external subsets</li>
1861: <li>DTD conditional sections</li>
1862: <li>Validation now correctly handle entities content</li>
1863: <li><a href="http://rpmfind.net/tools/gdome/messages/0039.html">change
1864: structures to accommodate DOM</a></li>
1865: </ul></li>
1866: <li>Serious progress were made toward compliance, <a href="conf/result.html">here are the result of the test</a> against the
1867: OASIS testsuite (except the Japanese tests since I don't support that
1868: encoding yet). This URL is rebuilt every couple of hours using the CVS
1869: head version.</li>
1870: </ul><h3>1.8.7: Mar 6 2000</h3><ul><li>This is a bug fix release:</li>
1871: <li>It is possible to disable the ignorable blanks heuristic used by
1872: libxml-1.x, a new function xmlKeepBlanksDefault(0) will allow this. Note
1873: that for adherence to XML spec, this behaviour will be disabled by
1874: default in 2.x . The same function will allow to keep compatibility for
1875: old code.</li>
1876: <li>Blanks in <a> </a> constructs are not ignored anymore,
1877: avoiding heuristic is really the Right Way :-\</li>

1935: 1.7.1 from <strong>CHAR</strong> to <strong>xmlChar</strong>. The reason
