    <changes>   - Major revision release: should be API and ABI compatible but got a lot
    of change
   - Increased the library modularity, far more options can be stripped out,
    a --with-minimum configuration will weight around 160KBytes
   - Use per parser and per document dictionnary, allocate names and small
    text nodes from the dictionnary
   - Switch to a SAX2 like parser rewrote most of the XML parser core,
    provides namespace resolution and defaulted attributes, minimize memory
    allocations and copies, namespace checking and specific error handling,
    immutable buffers, make predefined entities static structures, etc...
   - rewrote all the error handling in the library, all errors can be
    intercepted at a structured level, with precise information
  available.
   - New simpler and more generic XML and HTML parser APIs, allowing to
    easilly modify the parsing options and reuse parser context for multiple
    consecutive documents.
   - Similar new APIs for the xmlReader, for options and reuse, provided new
    functions to access content as const strings, use them for Python
  bindings
   - a  lot of other smaller API improvements: xmlStrPrintf (Aleksey Sanin),
    Walker i.e. reader on a document tree based on Alfred Mickautsch code,
    make room in nodes for line numbers, reference counting and future PSVI
    extensions, generation of character ranges to be checked with faster
    algorithm (William),  xmlParserMaxDepth (Crutcher Dunnavant), buffer
    access
   - New xmlWriter API provided by Alfred Mickautsch
   - Schemas: base64 support by Anthony Carrico
   - Parser&lt;-&gt;HTTP integration fix, proper processing of the Mime-Type
    and charset informations if available.
   - Relax-NG: bug fixes including the one reported by Martijn Faassen and
    zeroOrMore, better error reporting.
   - Python bindings (St&#xE9;phane Bidoul), never use stdout for errors
  output
   - Portability: all the headers have macros for export and calling
    convention definitions (Igor Zlatkovic), VMS update (Craig A. Berry),
    Windows: threads (Jesse Pelton), Borland compiler (Eric Zurcher,  Igor),
    Mingw (Igor), typos (Mark Vakoc),  beta version (Stephane Bidoul),
    warning cleanups on AIX and MIPS compilers (William Brack), BeOS (Marcin
    'Shard' Konicki)
   - Documentation fixes and README (William Brack), search fix (William),
    tutorial updates (John Fleck), namespace docs (Stefan Kost)
   - Bug fixes: xmlCleanupParser (Dave Beckett), threading uninitialized
    mutexes, HTML doctype lowercase,  SAX/IO (William), compression detection
    and restore (William), attribute declaration in DTDs (William), namespace
    on attribute in HTML output (William), input filename (Rob Richards),
    namespace DTD validation, xmlReplaceNode (Chris Ryland), I/O callbacks
    (Markus Keim), CDATA serialization (Shaun McCance), xmlReader (Peter
    Derr), high codepoint charref like &amp;#x10FFFF;, buffer access in push
    mode (Justin Fletcher), TLS threads on Windows (Jesse Pelton), XPath bug
    (William), xmlCleanupParser (Marc Liyanage), CDATA output (William), HTTP
    error handling.
   - xmllint options: --dtdvalidfpi for Tobias Reif, --sax1 for compat
    testing,  --nodict for building without tree dictionnary, --nocdata to
    replace CDATA by text, --nsclean to remove surperfluous  namespace
    declarations
   - added xml2-config --libtool-libs option from Kevin P. Fleming
   - a lot of profiling and tuning of the code, speedup patch for
    xmlSearchNs() by Luca Padovani. The xmlReader should do far less
    allocation and it speed should get closer to SAX. Chris Anderson worked
    on speeding and cleaning up repetitive checking code.
   - cleanup of "make tests"
   - libxml-2.0-uninstalled.pc from Malcolm Tredinnick
   - deactivated the broken docBook SGML parser code and plugged the XML
    parser instead.
