Elliott Hughesd07d5a72009-09-25 16:04:37 -070052Release 2.0.1 Tue June 5 2007
Elliott Hughes35e432d2012-09-09 14:23:38 -070053 - Fixed bugs #1515266, #1515600: The character data handler's calling
Elliott Hughesd07d5a72009-09-25 16:04:37 -070054 of XML_StopParser() was not handled properly; if the parser was
55 stopped and the handler set to NULL, the parser would segfault.

57 some character constants to be ASCII encoded.
58 - Minor cleanups of the test harness.
59 - Fixed xmlwf bug #1513566: "out of memory" error on file size zero.

The Android Open Source Projectb80e2872009-03-03 19:29:30 -080073Release 2.0.0 Wed Jan 11 2006
74 - We no longer use the "check" library for C unit testing; we
75 always use the (partial) internal implementation of the API.

77 - Fixed headers for use from C++.
78 - XML_GetCurrentLineNumber() and XML_GetCurrentColumnNumber()
79 now return unsigned integers.

Elliott Hughes35e432d2012-09-09 14:23:38 -070084 - Some mostly minor bug fixes. SF issues include: #1006708,

87Release 1.95.8 Fri Jul 23 2004
88 - Major new feature: suspend/resume. Handlers can now request
89 that a parse be suspended for later resumption or aborted
90 altogether. See "Temporarily Stopping Parsing" in the
91 documentation for more details.
92 - Some mostly minor bug fixes, but compilation should no
93 longer generate warnings on most platforms. SF issues
Elliott Hughes35e432d2012-09-09 14:23:38 -070094 include: #827319, #840173, #846309, #888329, #896188, #923913,
95 #928113, #961698, #985192.

97Release 1.95.7 Mon Oct 20 2003
98 - Fixed enum XML_Status issue (reported on SourceForge many
99 times), so compilers that are properly picky will be happy.
100 - Introduced an XMLCALL macro to control the calling
101 convention used by the Expat API; this macro should be used
102 to annotate prototypes and definitions of callback
103 implementations in code compiled with a calling convention
104 other than the default convention for the host platform.
105 - Improved ability to build without the configure-generated
106 expat_config.h header. This is useful for applications
107 which embed Expat rather than linking in the library.
Elliott Hughes35e432d2012-09-09 14:23:38 -0700108 - Fixed a variety of bugs: see SF issues #458907, #609603,

127 (may not retain).
128 - Fixed UTF-8 decoding bug that caused legal UTF-8 to be rejected.
129 - Finally fixed bug where default handler would report DTD
130 events that were already handled by another handler.
131 Initial patch contributed by Darryl Miles.
132 - Removed unnecessary DllMain() function that caused static
133 linking into a DLL to be difficult.
134 - Added VC++ projects for building static libraries.
135 - Reduced line-length for all source code and headers to be
136 no longer than 80 characters, to help with AS/400 support.

152 - Re-implemented WFC: Entity Declared from XML 1.0 spec and
153 added a new error "entity declared in parameter entity":

170 #547350. Other bugs which we can't test as easily may also
The Android Open Source Projectb80e2872009-03-03 19:29:30 -0800171 have been fixed, especially in the area of build support.
172

201 Allows you to set a memory management suite to replace the
202 standard malloc,realloc, and free.
203 - XML_SetReturnNSTriplet
204 If you turn this feature on when namespace processing is in
