366 of change</li>
367 <li>Increased the library modularity, far more options can be stripped out,
368 a --with-minimum configuration will weight around 160KBytes</li>
369 <li>Use per parser and per document dictionnary, allocate names and small
370 text nodes from the dictionnary</li>
371 <li>Switch to a SAX2 like parser rewrote most of the XML parser core,
372 provides namespace resolution and defaulted attributes, minimize memory
373 allocations and copies, namespace checking and specific error handling,
374 immutable buffers, make predefined entities static structures, etc...</li>
375 <li>rewrote all the error handling in the library, all errors can be
376 intercepted at a structured level, with precise information
377 available.</li>
378 <li>New simpler and more generic XML and HTML parser APIs, allowing to
379 easilly modify the parsing options and reuse parser context for multiple
380 consecutive documents.</li>
381 <li>Similar new APIs for the xmlReader, for options and reuse, provided new
382 functions to access content as const strings, use them for Python
383 bindings</li>
384 <li>a lot of other smaller API improvements: xmlStrPrintf (Aleksey Sanin),
385 Walker i.e. reader on a document tree based on Alfred Mickautsch code,
386 make room in nodes for line numbers, reference counting and future PSVI
