| 504 | <h3>2.0.0: Apr 12 2000</h3> |
| 505 | <ul> |
| 506 | <li>First public release of libxml2. If you are using libxml, it's a good |
| 507 | idea to check the 1.x to 2.x upgrade instructions. NOTE: while initally |
| 508 | scheduled for Apr 3 the relase occured only on Apr 12 due to massive |
| 509 | workload.</li> |
| 510 | <li>The include are now located under $prefix/include/libxml (instead of |
| 511 | $prefix/include/gnome-xml), they also are referenced by |
| 512 | <pre>#include <libxml/xxx.h></pre> |
| 513 | <p>instead of</p> |
| 514 | <pre>#include "xxx.h"</pre> |
| 515 | </li> |
| 516 | <li>a new URI module for parsing URIs and following strictly RFC 2396</li> |
| 517 | <li>the memory allocation routines used by libxml can now be overloaded |
| 518 | dynamically by using xmlMemSetup()</li> |
| 519 | <li>The previously CVS only tool tester has been renamed |
| 520 | <strong>xmllint</strong> and is now installed as part of the libxml2 |
| 521 | package</li> |
| 522 | <li>The I/O interface has been revamped. There is now ways to plug in |
| 523 | specific I/O modules, either at the URI scheme detection level using |
| 524 | xmlRegisterInputCallbacks() or by passing I/O functions when creating a |
| 525 | parser context using xmlCreateIOParserCtxt()</li> |
| 526 | <li>there is a C preprocessor macro LIBXML_VERSION providing the version |
| 527 | number of the libxml module in use</li> |
| 528 | <li>a number of optional features of libxml can now be excluded at |
| 529 | configure time (FTP/HTTP/HTML/XPath/Debug)</li> |
| 530 | </ul> |
| 531 | <h3>2.0.0beta: Mar 14 2000</h3> |
| 532 | <ul> |
| 533 | <li>This is a first Beta release of libxml version 2</li> |
| 534 | <li>It's available only from<a href="ftp://xmlsoft.org/">xmlsoft.org |
| 535 | FTP</a>, it's packaged as libxml2-2.0.0beta and available as tar and |
| 536 | RPMs</li> |
| 537 | <li>This version is now the head in the Gnome CVS base, the old one is |
| 538 | available under the tag LIB_XML_1_X</li> |
| 539 | <li>This includes a very large set of changes. Froma programmatic point of |
| 540 | view applications should not have to be modified too much, check the <a href="upgrade.html">upgrade page</a> |
| 541 | </li> |
| 542 | <li>Some interfaces may changes (especially a bit about encoding).</li> |
| 543 | <li>the updates includes: |
| 544 | <ul> |
| 545 | <li>fix I18N support. ISO-Latin-x/UTF-8/UTF-16 (nearly) seems correctly |
| 546 | handled now</li> |
| 547 | <li>Better handling of entities, especially well formedness checking |
| 548 | and proper PEref extensions in external subsets</li> |
| 549 | <li>DTD conditional sections</li> |
| 550 | <li>Validation now correcly handle entities content</li> |
| 551 | <li><a href="http://rpmfind.net/tools/gdome/messages/0039.html">change |
| 552 | structures to accomodate DOM</a></li> |
| 553 | </ul> |
| 554 | </li> |
| 555 | <li>Serious progress were made toward compliance, <a href="conf/result.html">here are the result of the test</a> against the |
| 556 | OASIS testsuite (except the japanese tests since I don't support that |
| 557 | encoding yet). This URL is rebuilt every couple of hours using the CVS |
| 558 | head version.</li> |
| 559 | </ul> |
| 560 | <h3>1.8.7: Mar 6 2000</h3> |
| 561 | <ul> |
| 562 | <li>This is a bug fix release:</li> |
| 563 | <li>It is possible to disable the ignorable blanks heuristic used by |
| 564 | libxml-1.x, a new function xmlKeepBlanksDefault(0) will allow this. Note |
| 565 | that for adherence to XML spec, this behaviour will be disabled by |
| 566 | default in 2.x . The same function will allow to keep compatibility for |
| 567 | old code.</li> |
| 568 | <li>Blanks in <a> </a> constructs are not ignored anymore, |
| 569 | avoiding heuristic is really the Right Way :-\</li> |
| 570 | <li>The unchecked use of snprintf which was breaking libxml-1.8.6 |
| 571 | compilation on some platforms has been fixed</li> |

| 625 | Dtd not specified in the original document)</li> |
| 626 | <li>fixed a bug in</li> |
| 627 | </ul> |

| 632 | not crash, whatever the input !</li> |
| 633 | <li>Integrated various patches, especially a speedup improvement for large |
| 634 | dataset from <a href="mailto:cnygard@bellatlantic.net">Carl Nygard</a>, |
| 635 | configure with --with-buffers to enable them.</li> |
| 636 | <li>attribute normalization, oops should have been added long ago !</li> |
| 637 | <li>attributes defaulted from Dtds should be available, xmlSetProp() now |
| 638 | does entities escapting by default.</li> |

| 654 | <ul> |
| 655 | <li>The basic type for strings manipulated by libxml has been renamed in |
| 656 | 1.7.1 from <strong>CHAR</strong> to <strong>xmlChar</strong>. The reason |
| 657 | is that CHAR was conflicting with a predefined type on Windows. However |
| 658 | on non WIN32 environment, compatibility is provided by the way of a |
| 659 | <strong>#define </strong>.</li> |
