| 187 | - Major revision release: should be API and ABI compatible but got a lot |
| 188 | of change |
| 189 | - Increased the library modularity, far more options can be stripped out, |
| 190 | a --with-minimum configuration will weight around 160KBytes |
| 191 | - Use per parser and per document dictionnary, allocate names and small |
| 192 | text nodes from the dictionnary |
| 193 | - Switch to a SAX2 like parser rewrote most of the XML parser core, |
| 194 | provides namespace resolution and defaulted attributes, minimize memory |
| 195 | allocations and copies, namespace checking and specific error handling, |
| 196 | immutable buffers, make predefined entities static structures, etc... |
| 197 | - rewrote all the error handling in the library, all errors can be |
| 198 | intercepted at a structured level, with precise information |
| 199 | available. |
| 200 | - New simpler and more generic XML and HTML parser APIs, allowing to |
| 201 | easilly modify the parsing options and reuse parser context for multiple |
| 202 | consecutive documents. |
| 203 | - Similar new APIs for the xmlReader, for options and reuse, provided new |
| 204 | functions to access content as const strings, use them for Python |
| 205 | bindings |
| 206 | - a lot of other smaller API improvements: xmlStrPrintf (Aleksey Sanin), |
| 207 | Walker i.e. reader on a document tree based on Alfred Mickautsch code, |
| 208 | make room in nodes for line numbers, reference counting and future PSVI |
| 209 | extensions, generation of character ranges to be checked with faster |
| 210 | algorithm (William), xmlParserMaxDepth (Crutcher Dunnavant), buffer |
| 211 | access |

| 217 | zeroOrMore, better error reporting. |
| 218 | - Python bindings (Stéphane Bidoul), never use stdout for errors |
| 219 | output |

| 221 | convention definitions (Igor Zlatkovic), VMS update (Craig A. Berry), |
| 222 | Windows: threads (Jesse Pelton), Borland compiler (Eric Zurcher, Igor), |
| 223 | Mingw (Igor), typos (Mark Vakoc), beta version (Stephane Bidoul), |

| 240 | replace CDATA by text, --nsclean to remove surperfluous namespace |
| 241 | declarations |
| 242 | - added xml2-config --libtool-libs option from Kevin P. Fleming |
| 243 | - a lot of profiling and tuning of the code, speedup patch for |
| 244 | xmlSearchNs() by Luca Padovani. The xmlReader should do far less |
| 245 | allocation and it speed should get closer to SAX. Chris Anderson worked |
| 246 | on speeding and cleaning up repetitive checking code. |
| 247 | - cleanup of "make tests" |
| 248 | - libxml-2.0-uninstalled.pc from Malcolm Tredinnick |
| 249 | - deactivated the broken docBook SGML parser code and plugged the XML |
| 250 | parser instead. |

| 1020 | |
| 1021 | - added xmlStopParser() to stop parsing |
| 1022 | - improved a lot parsing speed when there is large CDATA blocs |
| 1023 | - includes XPath patches provided by Picdar Technology |
| 1024 | - tried to fix as much as possible DTD validation and namespace |
| 1025 | related problems |
| 1026 | - output to a given encoding has been added/tested |
| 1027 | - lot of various fixes |
| 1028 | |
| 1029 | |
| 1030 | 2.0.0: Apr 12 2000: |
| 1031 | - First public release of libxml2. If you are using libxml, it's a good |
| 1032 | idea to check the 1.x to 2.x upgrade instructions. NOTE: while initially |
| 1033 | scheduled for Apr 3 the release occurred only on Apr 12 due to massive |
| 1034 | workload. |
| 1035 | - The include are now located under $prefix/include/libxml (instead of |
| 1036 | $prefix/include/gnome-xml), they also are referenced by |
| 1037 | #include <libxml/xxx.h> |
| 1038 | instead of |
| 1039 | #include "xxx.h" |
| 1040 | |
| 1041 | - a new URI module for parsing URIs and following strictly RFC 2396 |
| 1042 | - the memory allocation routines used by libxml can now be overloaded |
| 1043 | dynamically by using xmlMemSetup() |
| 1044 | - The previously CVS only tool tester has been renamed |
| 1045 | xmllint and is now installed as part of the libxml2 |
| 1046 | package |
| 1047 | - The I/O interface has been revamped. There is now ways to plug in |
| 1048 | specific I/O modules, either at the URI scheme detection level using |
| 1049 | xmlRegisterInputCallbacks() or by passing I/O functions when creating a |
| 1050 | parser context using xmlCreateIOParserCtxt() |
| 1051 | - there is a C preprocessor macro LIBXML_VERSION providing the version |
| 1052 | number of the libxml module in use |
| 1053 | - a number of optional features of libxml can now be excluded at |
| 1054 | configure time (FTP/HTTP/HTML/XPath/Debug) |
| 1055 | |
| 1056 | |
| 1057 | 2.0.0beta: Mar 14 2000: |
| 1058 | - This is a first Beta release of libxml version 2 |
| 1059 | - It's available only fromxmlsoft.org |
| 1060 | FTP, it's packaged as libxml2-2.0.0beta and available as tar and |
| 1061 | RPMs |
| 1062 | - This version is now the head in the Gnome CVS base, the old one is |
| 1063 | available under the tag LIB_XML_1_X |
| 1064 | - This includes a very large set of changes. From a programmatic point |
| 1065 | of view applications should not have to be modified too much, check the |
| 1066 | upgrade page |
Daniel Veillard | 8ba1741 | 2003-01-01 19:13:12 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1067 | - Some interfaces may changes (especially a bit about encoding). |
| 1068 | - the updates includes: |
| 1069 | fix I18N support. ISO-Latin-x/UTF-8/UTF-16 (nearly) seems correctly |
| 1070 | handled now |
| 1071 | Better handling of entities, especially well-formedness checking |
| 1072 | and proper PEref extensions in external subsets |
| 1073 | DTD conditional sections |
| 1074 | Validation now correctly handle entities content |
| 1075 | change |
| 1076 | structures to accommodate DOM |
| 1077 | |
| 1078 | - fix I18N support. ISO-Latin-x/UTF-8/UTF-16 (nearly) seems correctly |
| 1079 | handled now |
| 1080 | - Better handling of entities, especially well-formedness checking |
| 1081 | and proper PEref extensions in external subsets |
| 1082 | - DTD conditional sections |
| 1083 | - Validation now correctly handle entities content |
| 1084 | - change |
| 1085 | structures to accommodate DOM |
| 1086 | - Serious progress were made toward compliance, here are the result of the test against the |
| 1087 | OASIS testsuite (except the Japanese tests since I don't support that |
| 1088 | encoding yet). This URL is rebuilt every couple of hours using the CVS |
| 1089 | head version. |
| 1090 | |
| 1091 | |
| 1092 | 1.8.7: Mar 6 2000: |
| 1093 | - This is a bug fix release: |
| 1094 | - It is possible to disable the ignorable blanks heuristic used by |
| 1095 | libxml-1.x, a new function xmlKeepBlanksDefault(0) will allow this. Note |
| 1096 | that for adherence to XML spec, this behaviour will be disabled by |
| 1097 | default in 2.x . The same function will allow to keep compatibility for |
| 1098 | old code. |
| 1099 | - Blanks in <a> </a> constructs are not ignored anymore, |
| 1100 | avoiding heuristic is really the Right Way :-\ |
| 1101 | - The unchecked use of snprintf which was breaking libxml-1.8.6 |
| 1102 | compilation on some platforms has been fixed |

| 1116 | - Jody Goldberg <jgoldberg@home.com> provided another patch trying |
| 1117 | to solve the zlib checks problems |
| 1118 | - The current state in gnome CVS base is expected to ship as 1.8.5 with |
| 1119 | gnumeric soon |
| 1120 | |
| 1121 | |
| 1122 | 1.8.4: Jan 13 2000: |

| 1137 | xmlLoadExternalEntity(), some fix on entities processing were added |
| 1138 | - cleaned up WIN32 includes of socket stuff |
| 1139 | |
| 1140 | |
| 1141 | 1.8.2: Dec 21 1999: |
| 1142 | - I got another problem with includes and C++, I hope this issue is fixed |
| 1143 | for good this time |
| 1144 | - Added a few tree modification functions: xmlReplaceNode, |
| 1145 | xmlAddPrevSibling, xmlAddNextSibling, xmlNodeSetName and |
| 1146 | xmlDocSetRootElement |
| 1147 | - Tried to improve the HTML output with help from Chris Lahey |
| 1148 | |

| 1158 | - fixed a bug in |
| 1159 | |
| 1160 | |
| 1161 | 1.8.0: Dec 12 1999: |
| 1162 | - cleanup, especially memory wise |
| 1163 | - the parser should be more reliable, especially the HTML one, it should |
| 1164 | not crash, whatever the input ! |
| 1165 | - Integrated various patches, especially a speedup improvement for large |
| 1166 | dataset from Carl Nygard, |
| 1167 | configure with --with-buffers to enable them. |
| 1168 | - attribute normalization, oops should have been added long ago ! |
| 1169 | - attributes defaulted from DTDs should be available, xmlSetProp() now |
| 1170 | does entities escaping by default. |

| 1173 | 1.7.4: Oct 25 1999: |
| 1174 | - Lots of HTML improvement |
| 1175 | - Fixed some errors when saving both XML and HTML |
| 1176 | - More examples, the regression tests should now look clean |
| 1177 | - Fixed a bug with contiguous charref |
| 1178 | |
| 1179 | |
| 1180 | 1.7.3: Sep 29 1999: |
| 1181 | - portability problems fixed |
| 1182 | - snprintf was used unconditionally, leading to link problems on system |
| 1183 | were it's not available, fixed |
| 1184 | |
| 1185 | |
| 1186 | 1.7.1: Sep 24 1999: |
| 1187 | - The basic type for strings manipulated by libxml has been renamed in |
| 1188 | 1.7.1 from CHAR to xmlChar. The reason |
| 1189 | is that CHAR was conflicting with a predefined type on Windows. However |
| 1190 | on non WIN32 environment, compatibility is provided by the way of a |
| 1191 | #define . |
| 1192 | - Changed another error : the use of a structure field called errno, and |
| 1193 | leading to troubles on platforms where it's a macro |

| 1198 | - Added an errno to report errors by another mean than a simple printf |
| 1199 | like callback |
| 1200 | - Finished ID/IDREF support and checking when validation |
| 1201 | - Serious memory leaks fixed (there is now a memory wrapper module) |
| 1202 | - Improvement of XPath |
| 1203 | implementation |
| 1204 | - Added an HTML parser front-end |
