Daniel Veillard3e35f8e2003-10-21 00:05:38 +00009852.6.0: Oct 20 2003:
986 - Major revision release: should be API and ABI compatible but got a lot
987 of change
988 - Increased the library modularity, far more options can be stripped out,
989 a --with-minimum configuration will weight around 160KBytes
990 - Use per parser and per document dictionnary, allocate names and small
991 text nodes from the dictionnary
992 - Switch to a SAX2 like parser rewrote most of the XML parser core,
993 provides namespace resolution and defaulted attributes, minimize memory
994 allocations and copies, namespace checking and specific error handling,
995 immutable buffers, make predefined entities static structures, etc...
996 - rewrote all the error handling in the library, all errors can be
997 intercepted at a structured level, with precise information
998 available.
999 - New simpler and more generic XML and HTML parser APIs, allowing to
1000 easilly modify the parsing options and reuse parser context for multiple
1001 consecutive documents.
1002 - Similar new APIs for the xmlReader, for options and reuse, provided new
1003 functions to access content as const strings, use them for Python
1004 bindings
1005 - a lot of other smaller API improvements: xmlStrPrintf (Aleksey Sanin),
1006 Walker i.e. reader on a document tree based on Alfred Mickautsch code,
1007 make room in nodes for line numbers, reference counting and future PSVI
1008 extensions, generation of character ranges to be checked with faster
1009 algorithm (William), xmlParserMaxDepth (Crutcher Dunnavant), buffer
1010 access
1011 - New xmlWriter API provided by Alfred Mickautsch
1012 - Schemas: base64 support by Anthony Carrico

William M. Brack7a12e572007-02-16 17:11:09 +00001014 and charset information if available.
Daniel Veillard3e35f8e2003-10-21 00:05:38 +00001015 - Relax-NG: bug fixes including the one reported by Martijn Faassen and
1016 zeroOrMore, better error reporting.
Daniel Veillard96bb7402009-10-06 18:38:15 +02001017 - Python bindings (Stéphane Bidoul), never use stdout for errors

1039 replace CDATA by text, --nsclean to remove surperfluous namespace
1040 declarations
1041 - added xml2-config --libtool-libs option from Kevin P. Fleming
1042 - a lot of profiling and tuning of the code, speedup patch for
1043 xmlSearchNs() by Luca Padovani. The xmlReader should do far less
1044 allocation and it speed should get closer to SAX. Chris Anderson worked
1045 on speeding and cleaning up repetitive checking code.
1046 - cleanup of "make tests"
1047 - libxml-2.0-uninstalled.pc from Malcolm Tredinnick
1048 - deactivated the broken docBook SGML parser code and plugged the XML

1827
1828
18292.0.0: Apr 12 2000:
1830 - First public release of libxml2. If you are using libxml, it's a good
1831 idea to check the 1.x to 2.x upgrade instructions. NOTE: while initially
1832 scheduled for Apr 3 the release occurred only on Apr 12 due to massive
1833 workload.
1834 - The include are now located under $prefix/include/libxml (instead of
1835 $prefix/include/gnome-xml), they also are referenced by
1836 #include <libxml/xxx.h>
1837 instead of
1838 #include "xxx.h"
1839
1840 - a new URI module for parsing URIs and following strictly RFC 2396
1841 - the memory allocation routines used by libxml can now be overloaded
1842 dynamically by using xmlMemSetup()
1843 - The previously CVS only tool tester has been renamed
1844 xmllint and is now installed as part of the libxml2
1845 package
1846 - The I/O interface has been revamped. There is now ways to plug in
1847 specific I/O modules, either at the URI scheme detection level using
1848 xmlRegisterInputCallbacks() or by passing I/O functions when creating a
1849 parser context using xmlCreateIOParserCtxt()
1850 - there is a C preprocessor macro LIBXML_VERSION providing the version
1851 number of the libxml module in use
1852 - a number of optional features of libxml can now be excluded at
1853 configure time (FTP/HTTP/HTML/XPath/Debug)
1854
1855
18562.0.0beta: Mar 14 2000:
1857 - This is a first Beta release of libxml version 2
1858 - It's available only fromxmlsoft.org
1859 FTP, it's packaged as libxml2-2.0.0beta and available as tar and
1860 RPMs
1861 - This version is now the head in the Gnome CVS base, the old one is
1862 available under the tag LIB_XML_1_X
1863 - This includes a very large set of changes. From a programmatic point
1864 of view applications should not have to be modified too much, check the
1865 upgrade page
Daniel Veillard8ba17412003-01-01 19:13:12 +00001866 - Some interfaces may changes (especially a bit about encoding).
1867 - the updates includes:
1868 fix I18N support. ISO-Latin-x/UTF-8/UTF-16 (nearly) seems correctly
1869 handled now
1870 Better handling of entities, especially well-formedness checking
1871 and proper PEref extensions in external subsets
1872 DTD conditional sections
1873 Validation now correctly handle entities content
1874 change
1875 structures to accommodate DOM
1876
1877 - fix I18N support. ISO-Latin-x/UTF-8/UTF-16 (nearly) seems correctly
1878 handled now
1879 - Better handling of entities, especially well-formedness checking
1880 and proper PEref extensions in external subsets
1881 - DTD conditional sections
1882 - Validation now correctly handle entities content
1883 - change
1884 structures to accommodate DOM
1885 - Serious progress were made toward compliance, here are the result of the test against the
1886 OASIS testsuite (except the Japanese tests since I don't support that
1887 encoding yet). This URL is rebuilt every couple of hours using the CVS
1888 head version.
1889
1890
18911.8.7: Mar 6 2000:
1892 - This is a bug fix release:
1893 - It is possible to disable the ignorable blanks heuristic used by
1894 libxml-1.x, a new function xmlKeepBlanksDefault(0) will allow this. Note
1895 that for adherence to XML spec, this behaviour will be disabled by
1896 default in 2.x . The same function will allow to keep compatibility for
1897 old code.
1898 - Blanks in <a> </a> constructs are not ignored anymore,
1899 avoiding heuristic is really the Right Way :-\
1900 - The unchecked use of snprintf which was breaking libxml-1.8.6
1901 compilation on some platforms has been fixed
1902 - nanoftp.c nanohttp.c: Fixed '#' and '?' stripping when processing
1903 URIs

1915 - Jody Goldberg <jgoldberg@home.com> provided another patch trying

1944 xmlAddPrevSibling, xmlAddNextSibling, xmlNodeSetName and
1945 xmlDocSetRootElement

1947
1948

1958
1959
19601.8.0: Dec 12 1999:
1961 - cleanup, especially memory wise
1962 - the parser should be more reliable, especially the HTML one, it should
1963 not crash, whatever the input !
1964 - Integrated various patches, especially a speedup improvement for large
1965 dataset from Carl Nygard,
1966 configure with --with-buffers to enable them.
1967 - attribute normalization, oops should have been added long ago !
1968 - attributes defaulted from DTDs should be available, xmlSetProp() now
1969 does entities escaping by default.

19851.7.1: Sep 24 1999:
1986 - The basic type for strings manipulated by libxml has been renamed in
1987 1.7.1 from CHAR to xmlChar. The reason
1988 is that CHAR was conflicting with a predefined type on Windows. However
1989 on non WIN32 environment, compatibility is provided by the way of a
1990 #define .
1991 - Changed another error : the use of a structure field called errno, and
1992 leading to troubles on platforms where it's a macro
1993
1994
