| 339 | - Major revision release: should be API and ABI compatible but got a lot |
| 340 | of change |
| 341 | - Increased the library modularity, far more options can be stripped out, |
| 342 | a --with-minimum configuration will weight around 160KBytes |
| 343 | - Use per parser and per document dictionnary, allocate names and small |
| 344 | text nodes from the dictionnary |
| 345 | - Switch to a SAX2 like parser rewrote most of the XML parser core, |
| 346 | provides namespace resolution and defaulted attributes, minimize memory |
| 347 | allocations and copies, namespace checking and specific error handling, |
| 348 | immutable buffers, make predefined entities static structures, etc... |
| 349 | - rewrote all the error handling in the library, all errors can be |
| 350 | intercepted at a structured level, with precise information |
| 351 | available. |
| 352 | - New simpler and more generic XML and HTML parser APIs, allowing to |
| 353 | easilly modify the parsing options and reuse parser context for multiple |
| 354 | consecutive documents. |
| 355 | - Similar new APIs for the xmlReader, for options and reuse, provided new |
| 356 | functions to access content as const strings, use them for Python |
| 357 | bindings |
| 358 | - a lot of other smaller API improvements: xmlStrPrintf (Aleksey Sanin), |
| 359 | Walker i.e. reader on a document tree based on Alfred Mickautsch code, |
| 360 | make room in nodes for line numbers, reference counting and future PSVI |
| 361 | extensions, generation of character ranges to be checked with faster |
| 362 | algorithm (William), xmlParserMaxDepth (Crutcher Dunnavant), buffer |
| 363 | access |
| 364 | - New xmlWriter API provided by Alfred Mickautsch |
| 365 | - Schemas: base64 support by Anthony Carrico |
| 366 | - Parser<->HTTP integration fix, proper processing of the Mime-Type |
| 367 | and charset informations if available. |
| 368 | - Relax-NG: bug fixes including the one reported by Martijn Faassen and |
| 369 | zeroOrMore, better error reporting. |
| 370 | - Python bindings (Stéphane Bidoul), never use stdout for errors |
| 371 | output |

| 395 | - a lot of profiling and tuning of the code, speedup patch for |
| 396 | xmlSearchNs() by Luca Padovani. The xmlReader should do far less |
| 397 | allocation and it speed should get closer to SAX. Chris Anderson worked |
| 398 | on speeding and cleaning up repetitive checking code. |
| 399 | - cleanup of "make tests" |
| 400 | - libxml-2.0-uninstalled.pc from Malcolm Tredinnick |

Daniel Veillard | 8ba1741 | 2003-01-01 19:13:12 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1148 | 1.8.9: July 9 2000: |
| 1149 | - fixed the spec the RPMs should be better |
| 1150 | - fixed a serious bug in the FTP implementation, released 1.8.9 to solve |
| 1151 | rpmfind users problem |
| 1152 | |
| 1153 | |
| 1154 | 2.1.1: July 1 2000: |
| 1155 | - fixes a couple of bugs in the 2.1.0 packaging |
| 1156 | - improvements on the HTML parser |
| 1157 | |
| 1158 | |
| 1159 | 2.1.0 and 1.8.8: June 29 2000: |
| 1160 | - 1.8.8 is mostly a commodity package for upgrading to libxml2 according |
| 1161 | to new instructions. It fixes a nasty problem |
| 1162 | about & charref parsing |
| 1163 | - 2.1.0 also ease the upgrade from libxml v1 to the recent version. it |
| 1164 | also contains numerous fixes and enhancements: |
| 1165 | added xmlStopParser() to stop parsing |
| 1166 | improved a lot parsing speed when there is large CDATA blocs |
| 1167 | includes XPath patches provided by Picdar Technology |
| 1168 | tried to fix as much as possible DTD validation and namespace |
| 1169 | related problems |
| 1170 | output to a given encoding has been added/tested |
| 1171 | lot of various fixes |
| 1172 | |
| 1173 | - added xmlStopParser() to stop parsing |
| 1174 | - improved a lot parsing speed when there is large CDATA blocs |
| 1175 | - includes XPath patches provided by Picdar Technology |
| 1176 | - tried to fix as much as possible DTD validation and namespace |
| 1177 | related problems |
| 1178 | - output to a given encoding has been added/tested |
| 1179 | - lot of various fixes |
| 1180 | |
| 1181 | |
| 1182 | 2.0.0: Apr 12 2000: |
| 1183 | - First public release of libxml2. If you are using libxml, it's a good |
| 1184 | idea to check the 1.x to 2.x upgrade instructions. NOTE: while initially |
| 1185 | scheduled for Apr 3 the release occurred only on Apr 12 due to massive |
| 1186 | workload. |
| 1187 | - The include are now located under $prefix/include/libxml (instead of |
| 1188 | $prefix/include/gnome-xml), they also are referenced by |
| 1189 | #include <libxml/xxx.h> |
| 1190 | instead of |
| 1191 | #include "xxx.h" |
| 1192 | |
| 1193 | - a new URI module for parsing URIs and following strictly RFC 2396 |
| 1194 | - the memory allocation routines used by libxml can now be overloaded |
| 1195 | dynamically by using xmlMemSetup() |
| 1196 | - The previously CVS only tool tester has been renamed |
| 1197 | xmllint and is now installed as part of the libxml2 |
| 1198 | package |
| 1199 | - The I/O interface has been revamped. There is now ways to plug in |
| 1200 | specific I/O modules, either at the URI scheme detection level using |
| 1201 | xmlRegisterInputCallbacks() or by passing I/O functions when creating a |
| 1202 | parser context using xmlCreateIOParserCtxt() |
| 1203 | - there is a C preprocessor macro LIBXML_VERSION providing the version |
| 1204 | number of the libxml module in use |
| 1205 | - a number of optional features of libxml can now be excluded at |
| 1206 | configure time (FTP/HTTP/HTML/XPath/Debug) |
| 1207 | |
| 1208 | |
| 1209 | 2.0.0beta: Mar 14 2000: |
| 1210 | - This is a first Beta release of libxml version 2 |
| 1211 | - It's available only fromxmlsoft.org |
| 1212 | FTP, it's packaged as libxml2-2.0.0beta and available as tar and |
| 1213 | RPMs |
| 1214 | - This version is now the head in the Gnome CVS base, the old one is |
| 1215 | available under the tag LIB_XML_1_X |
| 1216 | - This includes a very large set of changes. From a programmatic point |
| 1217 | of view applications should not have to be modified too much, check the |
| 1218 | upgrade page |
Daniel Veillard | 8ba1741 | 2003-01-01 19:13:12 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1219 | - Some interfaces may changes (especially a bit about encoding). |
| 1220 | - the updates includes: |
| 1221 | fix I18N support. ISO-Latin-x/UTF-8/UTF-16 (nearly) seems correctly |
| 1222 | handled now |
| 1223 | Better handling of entities, especially well-formedness checking |
| 1224 | and proper PEref extensions in external subsets |
| 1225 | DTD conditional sections |
| 1226 | Validation now correctly handle entities content |
| 1227 | change |
| 1228 | structures to accommodate DOM |
| 1229 | |
| 1230 | - fix I18N support. ISO-Latin-x/UTF-8/UTF-16 (nearly) seems correctly |
| 1231 | handled now |
| 1232 | - Better handling of entities, especially well-formedness checking |
| 1233 | and proper PEref extensions in external subsets |
| 1234 | - DTD conditional sections |
| 1235 | - Validation now correctly handle entities content |
| 1236 | - change |
| 1237 | structures to accommodate DOM |
| 1238 | - Serious progress were made toward compliance, here are the result of the test against the |
| 1239 | OASIS testsuite (except the Japanese tests since I don't support that |
| 1240 | encoding yet). This URL is rebuilt every couple of hours using the CVS |
| 1241 | head version. |
| 1242 | |
| 1243 | |
| 1244 | 1.8.7: Mar 6 2000: |
| 1245 | - This is a bug fix release: |
| 1246 | - It is possible to disable the ignorable blanks heuristic used by |
| 1247 | libxml-1.x, a new function xmlKeepBlanksDefault(0) will allow this. Note |
| 1248 | that for adherence to XML spec, this behaviour will be disabled by |
| 1249 | default in 2.x . The same function will allow to keep compatibility for |
| 1250 | old code. |
| 1251 | - Blanks in <a> </a> constructs are not ignored anymore, |
| 1252 | avoiding heuristic is really the Right Way :-\ |
| 1253 | - The unchecked use of snprintf which was breaking libxml-1.8.6 |
| 1254 | compilation on some platforms has been fixed |
| 1255 | - nanoftp.c nanohttp.c: Fixed '#' and '?' stripping when processing |
| 1256 | URIs |
| 1257 | |
| 1258 | |
| 1259 | 1.8.6: Jan 31 2000: |
| 1260 | - added a nanoFTP transport module, debugged until the new version of rpmfind can use |
| 1261 | it without troubles |
| 1262 | |
| 1263 | |
| 1264 | 1.8.5: Jan 21 2000: |
| 1265 | - adding APIs to parse a well balanced chunk of XML (production [43] content of the |
| 1266 | XML spec) |
| 1267 | - fixed a hideous bug in xmlGetProp pointed by Rune.Djurhuus@fast.no |
| 1268 | - Jody Goldberg <jgoldberg@home.com> provided another patch trying |
| 1269 | to solve the zlib checks problems |
| 1270 | - The current state in gnome CVS base is expected to ship as 1.8.5 with |
| 1271 | gnumeric soon |
| 1272 | |
| 1273 | |
| 1274 | 1.8.4: Jan 13 2000: |
| 1275 | - bug fixes, reintroduced xmlNewGlobalNs(), fixed xmlNewNs() |
| 1276 | - all exit() call should have been removed from libxml |
| 1277 | - fixed a problem with INCLUDE_WINSOCK on WIN32 platform |
| 1278 | - added newDocFragment() |
| 1279 | |
| 1280 | |
| 1281 | 1.8.3: Jan 5 2000: |
| 1282 | - a Push interface for the XML and HTML parsers |
| 1283 | - a shell-like interface to the document tree (try tester --shell :-) |
| 1284 | - lots of bug fixes and improvement added over XMas holidays |
| 1285 | - fixed the DTD parsing code to work with the xhtml DTD |
| 1286 | - added xmlRemoveProp(), xmlRemoveID() and xmlRemoveRef() |
| 1287 | - Fixed bugs in xmlNewNs() |
| 1288 | - External entity loading code has been revamped, now it uses |
| 1289 | xmlLoadExternalEntity(), some fix on entities processing were added |
| 1290 | - cleaned up WIN32 includes of socket stuff |
| 1291 | |
| 1292 | |
| 1293 | 1.8.2: Dec 21 1999: |
| 1294 | - I got another problem with includes and C++, I hope this issue is fixed |
| 1295 | for good this time |
| 1296 | - Added a few tree modification functions: xmlReplaceNode, |
| 1297 | xmlAddPrevSibling, xmlAddNextSibling, xmlNodeSetName and |
| 1298 | xmlDocSetRootElement |
| 1299 | - Tried to improve the HTML output with help from Chris Lahey |
| 1300 | |
| 1301 | |

| 1303 | - various patches to avoid troubles when using libxml with C++ compilers |
| 1304 | the "namespace" keyword and C escaping in include files |
| 1305 | - a problem in one of the core macros IS_CHAR was corrected |
| 1306 | - fixed a bug introduced in 1.8.0 breaking default namespace processing, |
| 1307 | and more specifically the Dia application |
| 1308 | - fixed a posteriori validation (validation after parsing, or by using a |
| 1309 | Dtd not specified in the original document) |
| 1310 | - fixed a bug in |
| 1311 | |
| 1312 | |
| 1313 | 1.8.0: Dec 12 1999: |
| 1314 | - cleanup, especially memory wise |
| 1315 | - the parser should be more reliable, especially the HTML one, it should |
| 1316 | not crash, whatever the input ! |
| 1317 | - Integrated various patches, especially a speedup improvement for large |
| 1318 | dataset from Carl Nygard, |
| 1319 | configure with --with-buffers to enable them. |
| 1320 | - attribute normalization, oops should have been added long ago ! |
| 1321 | - attributes defaulted from DTDs should be available, xmlSetProp() now |
| 1322 | does entities escaping by default. |
| 1323 | |
| 1324 | |
| 1325 | 1.7.4: Oct 25 1999: |
| 1326 | - Lots of HTML improvement |
| 1327 | - Fixed some errors when saving both XML and HTML |
| 1328 | - More examples, the regression tests should now look clean |
| 1329 | - Fixed a bug with contiguous charref |
| 1330 | |
| 1331 | |
| 1332 | 1.7.3: Sep 29 1999: |
| 1333 | - portability problems fixed |
| 1334 | - snprintf was used unconditionally, leading to link problems on system |
| 1335 | were it's not available, fixed |
| 1336 | |
| 1337 | |
| 1338 | 1.7.1: Sep 24 1999: |
| 1339 | - The basic type for strings manipulated by libxml has been renamed in |
| 1340 | 1.7.1 from CHAR to xmlChar. The reason |
| 1341 | is that CHAR was conflicting with a predefined type on Windows. However |
| 1342 | on non WIN32 environment, compatibility is provided by the way of a |
| 1343 | #define . |
| 1344 | - Changed another error : the use of a structure field called errno, and |
| 1345 | leading to troubles on platforms where it's a macro |
| 1346 | |
| 1347 | |
| 1348 | 1.7.0: Sep 23 1999: |
| 1349 | - Added the ability to fetch remote DTD or parsed entities, see the nanohttp module. |
| 1350 | - Added an errno to report errors by another mean than a simple printf |
| 1351 | like callback |
| 1352 | - Finished ID/IDREF support and checking when validation |
| 1353 | - Serious memory leaks fixed (there is now a memory wrapper module) |
| 1354 | - Improvement of XPath |
| 1355 | implementation |
| 1356 | - Added an HTML parser front-end |
