597</ul><h3>2.6.0: Oct 20 2003</h3><ul><li>Major revision release: should be API and ABI compatible but got a lot
598 of change</li>
599 <li>Increased the library modularity, far more options can be stripped out,
600 a --with-minimum configuration will weight around 160KBytes</li>
601 <li>Use per parser and per document dictionnary, allocate names and small
602 text nodes from the dictionnary</li>
603 <li>Switch to a SAX2 like parser rewrote most of the XML parser core,
604 provides namespace resolution and defaulted attributes, minimize memory
605 allocations and copies, namespace checking and specific error handling,
606 immutable buffers, make predefined entities static structures, etc...</li>
607 <li>rewrote all the error handling in the library, all errors can be
608 intercepted at a structured level, with precise information
609 available.</li>
610 <li>New simpler and more generic XML and HTML parser APIs, allowing to
611 easilly modify the parsing options and reuse parser context for multiple
612 consecutive documents.</li>
613 <li>Similar new APIs for the xmlReader, for options and reuse, provided new
614 functions to access content as const strings, use them for Python
615 bindings</li>
616 <li>a lot of other smaller API improvements: xmlStrPrintf (Aleksey Sanin),
617 Walker i.e. reader on a document tree based on Alfred Mickautsch code,
618 make room in nodes for line numbers, reference counting and future PSVI
619 extensions, generation of character ranges to be checked with faster
620 algorithm (William), xmlParserMaxDepth (Crutcher Dunnavant), buffer
621 access</li>

1199 idea to check the 1.x to 2.x upgrade instructions. NOTE: while initially
1200 scheduled for Apr 3 the release occurred only on Apr 12 due to massive
1201 workload.</li>
1202 <li>The include are now located under $prefix/include/libxml (instead of
1203 $prefix/include/gnome-xml), they also are referenced by

1210 dynamically by using xmlMemSetup()</li>
1211 <li>The previously CVS only tool tester has been renamed
1212 <strong>xmllint</strong> and is now installed as part of the libxml2
1213 package</li>
1214 <li>The I/O interface has been revamped. There is now ways to plug in
1215 specific I/O modules, either at the URI scheme detection level using
1216 xmlRegisterInputCallbacks() or by passing I/O functions when creating a
1217 parser context using xmlCreateIOParserCtxt()</li>
1218 <li>there is a C preprocessor macro LIBXML_VERSION providing the version
1219 number of the libxml module in use</li>
1220 <li>a number of optional features of libxml can now be excluded at
