| <h3>2.0.0: Apr 12 2000</h3> |
| <ul> |
| <li>First public release of libxml2. If you are using libxml, it's a good |
| idea to check the 1.x to 2.x upgrade instructions. NOTE: while initally |
| scheduled for Apr 3 the relase occured only on Apr 12 due to massive |
| workload.</li> |
| <li>The include are now located under $prefix/include/libxml (instead of |
| $prefix/include/gnome-xml), they also are referenced by |
| <pre>#include <libxml/xxx.h></pre> |
| <p>instead of</p> |
| <pre>#include "xxx.h"</pre> |

| <strong>xmllint</strong> and is now installed as part of the libxml2 |
| package</li> |
| <li>The I/O interface has been revamped. There is now ways to plug in |
| specific I/O modules, either at the URI scheme detection level using |
| xmlRegisterInputCallbacks() or by passing I/O functions when creating a |
| parser context using xmlCreateIOParserCtxt()</li> |
| <li>there is a C preprocessor macro LIBXML_VERSION providing the version |
| number of the libxml module in use</li> |
| <li>a number of optional features of libxml can now be excluded at |
| configure time (FTP/HTTP/HTML/XPath/Debug)</li> |
| </ul> |
| <h3>2.0.0beta: Mar 14 2000</h3> |
| <ul> |
| <li>This is a first Beta release of libxml version 2</li> |
| <li>It's available only from<a href="ftp://xmlsoft.org/">xmlsoft.org |
| FTP</a>, it's packaged as libxml2-2.0.0beta and available as tar and |
| RPMs</li> |
| <li>This version is now the head in the Gnome CVS base, the old one is |
| available under the tag LIB_XML_1_X</li> |
| <li>This includes a very large set of changes. Froma programmatic point of |
| view applications should not have to be modified too much, check the <a href="upgrade.html">upgrade page</a> |
| </li> |
| <li>Some interfaces may changes (especially a bit about encoding).</li> |
| <li>the updates includes: |
| <ul> |
| <li>fix I18N support. ISO-Latin-x/UTF-8/UTF-16 (nearly) seems correctly |
| handled now</li> |
| <li>Better handling of entities, especially well formedness checking |
| and proper PEref extensions in external subsets</li> |
| <li>DTD conditional sections</li> |
| <li>Validation now correcly handle entities content</li> |
| <li><a href="http://rpmfind.net/tools/gdome/messages/0039.html">change |
| structures to accomodate DOM</a></li> |
| </ul> |
| </li> |
| <li>Serious progress were made toward compliance, <a href="conf/result.html">here are the result of the test</a> against the |
| OASIS testsuite (except the japanese tests since I don't support that |
| encoding yet). This URL is rebuilt every couple of hours using the CVS |
| head version.</li> |

| <h3>1.8.7: Mar 6 2000</h3> |
| <ul> |
| <li>This is a bug fix release:</li> |
| <li>It is possible to disable the ignorable blanks heuristic used by |
| libxml-1.x, a new function xmlKeepBlanksDefault(0) will allow this. Note |
| that for adherence to XML spec, this behaviour will be disabled by |
| default in 2.x . The same function will allow to keep compatibility for |
| old code.</li> |
| <li>Blanks in <a> </a> constructs are not ignored anymore, |
| avoiding heuristic is really the Right Way :-\</li> |
| <li>The unchecked use of snprintf which was breaking libxml-1.8.6 |
| compilation on some platforms has been fixed</li> |
| <li>nanoftp.c nanohttp.c: Fixed '#' and '?' stripping when processing |
| URIs</li> |
