565</ul>
566</li>
567</ul>
568<h3>2.0.0: Apr 12 2000</h3>
569<ul>
570<li>First public release of libxml2. If you are using libxml, it's a good
571 idea to check the 1.x to 2.x upgrade instructions. NOTE: while initally
572 scheduled for Apr 3 the relase occured only on Apr 12 due to massive
573 workload.</li>
574<li>The include are now located under $prefix/include/libxml (instead of
575 $prefix/include/gnome-xml), they also are referenced by
576 <pre>#include &lt;libxml/xxx.h&gt;</pre>
577<p>instead of</p>
578<pre>#include &quot;xxx.h&quot;</pre>
579</li>
580<li>a new URI module for parsing URIs and following strictly RFC 2396</li>
581<li>the memory allocation routines used by libxml can now be overloaded
582 dynamically by using xmlMemSetup()</li>
583<li>The previously CVS only tool tester has been renamed
584 <strong>xmllint</strong> and is now installed as part of the libxml2
585 package</li>
586<li>The I/O interface has been revamped. There is now ways to plug in
587 specific I/O modules, either at the URI scheme detection level using
588 xmlRegisterInputCallbacks() or by passing I/O functions when creating a
589 parser context using xmlCreateIOParserCtxt()</li>
590<li>there is a C preprocessor macro LIBXML_VERSION providing the version
591 number of the libxml module in use</li>
592<li>a number of optional features of libxml can now be excluded at
593 configure time (FTP/HTTP/HTML/XPath/Debug)</li>
594</ul>
595<h3>2.0.0beta: Mar 14 2000</h3>
596<ul>
597<li>This is a first Beta release of libxml version 2</li>
598<li>It's available only from<a href="ftp://xmlsoft.org/">xmlsoft.org
599 FTP</a>, it's packaged as libxml2-2.0.0beta and available as tar and
600 RPMs</li>
601<li>This version is now the head in the Gnome CVS base, the old one is
602 available under the tag LIB_XML_1_X</li>
603<li>This includes a very large set of changes. Froma programmatic point of
604 view applications should not have to be modified too much, check the <a href="upgrade.html">upgrade page</a>
605</li>
606<li>Some interfaces may changes (especially a bit about encoding).</li>
607<li>the updates includes:
608 <ul>
609<li>fix I18N support. ISO-Latin-x/UTF-8/UTF-16 (nearly) seems correctly
610 handled now</li>
611<li>Better handling of entities, especially well formedness checking
612 and proper PEref extensions in external subsets</li>
613<li>DTD conditional sections</li>
614<li>Validation now correcly handle entities content</li>
615<li><a href="http://rpmfind.net/tools/gdome/messages/0039.html">change
616 structures to accomodate DOM</a></li>
617</ul>
618</li>
619<li>Serious progress were made toward compliance, <a href="conf/result.html">here are the result of the test</a> against the
620 OASIS testsuite (except the japanese tests since I don't support that
621 encoding yet). This URL is rebuilt every couple of hours using the CVS
622 head version.</li>
623</ul>
624<h3>1.8.7: Mar 6 2000</h3>
625<ul>
626<li>This is a bug fix release:</li>
627<li>It is possible to disable the ignorable blanks heuristic used by
628 libxml-1.x, a new function xmlKeepBlanksDefault(0) will allow this. Note
629 that for adherence to XML spec, this behaviour will be disabled by
630 default in 2.x . The same function will allow to keep compatibility for
631 old code.</li>
632<li>Blanks in &lt;a&gt; &lt;/a&gt; constructs are not ignored anymore,
633 avoiding heuristic is really the Right Way :-\</li>
634<li>The unchecked use of snprintf which was breaking libxml-1.8.6
635 compilation on some platforms has been fixed</li>
636<li>nanoftp.c nanohttp.c: Fixed '#' and '?' stripping when processing

643<ul>

690<li>fixed a bug in</li>
691</ul>
692<h3>1.8.0: Dec 12 1999</h3>
693<ul>
694<li>cleanup, especially memory wise</li>
695<li>the parser should be more reliable, especially the HTML one, it should
696 not crash, whatever the input !</li>
697<li>Integrated various patches, especially a speedup improvement for large
698 dataset from <a href="mailto:cnygard@bellatlantic.net">Carl Nygard</a>,
699 configure with --with-buffers to enable them.</li>
700<li>attribute normalization, oops should have been added long ago !</li>

718<ul>
719<li>The basic type for strings manipulated by libxml has been renamed in
720 1.7.1 from <strong>CHAR</strong> to <strong>xmlChar</strong>. The reason

722 on non WIN32 environment, compatibility is provided by the way of a
723 <strong>#define </strong>.</li>
724<li>Changed another error : the use of a structure field called errno, and
725 leading to troubles on platforms where it's a macro</li>
