Haibo Huang40a71912019-10-11 11:13:39 -07005Release 2.2.9 Wed Septemper 25 2019
6 Other changes:
7 examples: Drop executable bits from elements.c
8 #349 Windows: Change the name of the Windows DLLs from expat*.dll
9 to libexpat*.dll once more (regression from 2.2.8, first
10 fixed in 1.95.3, issue #61 on SourceForge today,
11 was issue #432456 back then); needs a fix due
12 case-insensitive file systems on Windows and the fact that
13 Perl's XML::Parser::Expat compiles into Expat.dll.
14 #347 Windows: Only define _CRT_RAND_S if not defined
15 Version info bumped from 7:10:6 to 7:11:6

20Release 2.2.8 Fri Septemper 13 2019
21 Security fixes:
22 #317 #318 CVE-2019-15903 -- Fix heap overflow triggered by
23 XML_GetCurrentLineNumber (or XML_GetCurrentColumnNumber),
24 and deny internal entities closing the doctype;
25 fixed in commit c20b758c332d9a13afbbb276d30db1d183a85d43
26
27 Bug fixes:
28 #240 Fix cases where XML_StopParser did not have any effect
29 when called from inside of an end element handler
30 #341 xmlwf: Fix exit code for operation without "-d DIRECTORY";
31 previously, only "-d DIRECTORY" would give you a proper
32 exit code:
33 # xmlwf -d . <<<'<not well-formed>' 2>/dev/null ; echo $?
34 2
35 # xmlwf <<<'<not well-formed>' 2>/dev/null ; echo $?
36 0
37 Now both cases return exit code 2.

Elliott Hughesd07d5a72009-09-25 16:04:37 -0700588Release 2.0.1 Tue June 5 2007
Elliott Hughes35e432d2012-09-09 14:23:38 -0700589 - Fixed bugs #1515266, #1515600: The character data handler's calling
Elliott Hughesd07d5a72009-09-25 16:04:37 -0700590 of XML_StopParser() was not handled properly; if the parser was
591 stopped and the handler set to NULL, the parser would segfault.
592 - Fixed bug #1690883: Expat failed on EBCDIC systems as it assumed
593 some character constants to be ASCII encoded.
594 - Minor cleanups of the test harness.

603 without relying on GNU-Make specific features.

The Android Open Source Projectb80e2872009-03-03 19:29:30 -0800609Release 2.0.0 Wed Jan 11 2006
610 - We no longer use the "check" library for C unit testing; we
611 always use the (partial) internal implementation of the API.
612 - Report XML_NS setting via XML_GetFeatureList().
613 - Fixed headers for use from C++.
614 - XML_GetCurrentLineNumber() and XML_GetCurrentColumnNumber()
615 now return unsigned integers.
616 - Added XML_LARGE_SIZE switch to enable 64-bit integers for
617 byte indexes and line/column numbers.
618 - Updated to use libtool 1.5.22 (the most recent).
619 - Added support for AmigaOS.
Elliott Hughes35e432d2012-09-09 14:23:38 -0700620 - Some mostly minor bug fixes. SF issues include: #1006708,

623Release 1.95.8 Fri Jul 23 2004
624 - Major new feature: suspend/resume. Handlers can now request
625 that a parse be suspended for later resumption or aborted
626 altogether. See "Temporarily Stopping Parsing" in the
627 documentation for more details.
628 - Some mostly minor bug fixes, but compilation should no
629 longer generate warnings on most platforms. SF issues
Elliott Hughes35e432d2012-09-09 14:23:38 -0700630 include: #827319, #840173, #846309, #888329, #896188, #923913,

633Release 1.95.7 Mon Oct 20 2003
634 - Fixed enum XML_Status issue (reported on SourceForge many
635 times), so compilers that are properly picky will be happy.
636 - Introduced an XMLCALL macro to control the calling
637 convention used by the Expat API; this macro should be used
638 to annotate prototypes and definitions of callback
639 implementations in code compiled with a calling convention
640 other than the default convention for the host platform.
641 - Improved ability to build without the configure-generated
642 expat_config.h header. This is useful for applications
643 which embed Expat rather than linking in the library.
Elliott Hughes35e432d2012-09-09 14:23:38 -0700644 - Fixed a variety of bugs: see SF issues #458907, #609603,

662 - Use an incomplete struct instead of a void* for the parser
663 (may not retain).
664 - Fixed UTF-8 decoding bug that caused legal UTF-8 to be rejected.
665 - Finally fixed bug where default handler would report DTD
666 events that were already handled by another handler.
667 Initial patch contributed by Darryl Miles.
668 - Removed unnecessary DllMain() function that caused static
669 linking into a DLL to be difficult.
670 - Added VC++ projects for building static libraries.
671 - Reduced line-length for all source code and headers to be
672 no longer than 80 characters, to help with AS/400 support.
673 - Reduced memory copying during parsing (SF patch #600964).
Elliott Hughes35e432d2012-09-09 14:23:38 -0700674 - Fixed a variety of bugs: see SF issues #580793, #434664,

The Android Open Source Projectb80e2872009-03-03 19:29:30 -0800687 - Made skippedEntityHandler conform to SAX2 (see source comment)
688 - Re-implemented WFC: Entity Declared from XML 1.0 spec and
689 added a new error "entity declared in parameter entity":

705 #466885, #469226, #477667, #484419, #487840, #494749, #496505,
706 #547350. Other bugs which we can't test as easily may also
The Android Open Source Projectb80e2872009-03-03 19:29:30 -0800707 have been fixed, especially in the area of build support.
708

733 Reported by an anonymous user.
734
735Release 1.95.0 Fri Sep 29 2000
736 - XML_ParserCreate_MM
737 Allows you to set a memory management suite to replace the
738 standard malloc,realloc, and free.
739 - XML_SetReturnNSTriplet
740 If you turn this feature on when namespace processing is in

745 o XML_SetElementDeclHandler
746 o XML_SetAttlistDeclHandler
