682 <li>Increased the library modularity, far more options can be stripped out,
683 a --with-minimum configuration will weight around 160KBytes</li>
684 <li>Use per parser and per document dictionnary, allocate names and small
685 text nodes from the dictionnary</li>
686 <li>Switch to a SAX2 like parser rewrote most of the XML parser core,
687 provides namespace resolution and defaulted attributes, minimize memory
688 allocations and copies, namespace checking and specific error handling,
689 immutable buffers, make predefined entities static structures, etc...</li>
690 <li>rewrote all the error handling in the library, all errors can be
691 intercepted at a structured level, with precise information
692 available.</li>
693 <li>New simpler and more generic XML and HTML parser APIs, allowing to
694 easilly modify the parsing options and reuse parser context for multiple
695 consecutive documents.</li>
696 <li>Similar new APIs for the xmlReader, for options and reuse, provided new
