291 of change</li>
292 <li>Increased the library modularity, far more options can be stripped out,
293 a --with-minimum configuration will weight around 160KBytes</li>
294 <li>Use per parser and per document dictionnary, allocate names and small
295 text nodes from the dictionnary</li>
296 <li>Switch to a SAX2 like parser rewrote most of the XML parser core,
297 provides namespace resolution and defaulted attributes, minimize memory
298 allocations and copies, namespace checking and specific error handling,
299 immutable buffers, make predefined entities static structures, etc...</li>
300 <li>rewrote all the error handling in the library, all errors can be
301 intercepted at a structured level, with precise information
302 available.</li>
303 <li>New simpler and more generic XML and HTML parser APIs, allowing to
304 easilly modify the parsing options and reuse parser context for multiple
305 consecutive documents.</li>
306 <li>Similar new APIs for the xmlReader, for options and reuse, provided new
307 functions to access content as const strings, use them for Python
308 bindings</li>
309 <li>a lot of other smaller API improvements: xmlStrPrintf (Aleksey Sanin),
310 Walker i.e. reader on a document tree based on Alfred Mickautsch code,
311 make room in nodes for line numbers, reference counting and future PSVI
312 extensions, generation of character ranges to be checked with faster
313 algorithm (William), xmlParserMaxDepth (Crutcher Dunnavant), buffer
314 access</li>
315 <li>New xmlWriter API provided by Alfred Mickautsch</li>

320 zeroOrMore, better error reporting.</li>
321 <li>Python bindings (Stéphane Bidoul), never use stdout for errors
322 output</li>

344 declarations</li>

346 <li>a lot of profiling and tuning of the code, speedup patch for
347 xmlSearchNs() by Luca Padovani. The xmlReader should do far less
348 allocation and it speed should get closer to SAX. Chris Anderson worked
349 on speeding and cleaning up repetitive checking code.</li>
