Daniel Veillard3e35f8e2003-10-21 00:05:38 +0000[diff] [blame]78</ul><h3>2.6.0: Oct 20 2003</h3><ul><li>Major revision release: should be API and ABI compatible but got a lot
79 of change</li>
80 <li>Increased the library modularity, far more options can be stripped out,
81 a --with-minimum configuration will weight around 160KBytes</li>
82 <li>Use per parser and per document dictionnary, allocate names and small
83 text nodes from the dictionnary</li>
84 <li>Switch to a SAX2 like parser rewrote most of the XML parser core,
85 provides namespace resolution and defaulted attributes, minimize memory
86 allocations and copies, namespace checking and specific error handling,
87 immutable buffers, make predefined entities static structures, etc...</li>
88 <li>rewrote all the error handling in the library, all errors can be
89 intercepted at a structured level, with precise information
90 available.</li>
91 <li>New simpler and more generic XML and HTML parser APIs, allowing to
92 easilly modify the parsing options and reuse parser context for multiple
93 consecutive documents.</li>
94 <li>Similar new APIs for the xmlReader, for options and reuse, provided new
95 functions to access content as const strings, use them for Python
96 bindings</li>
97 <li>a lot of other smaller API improvements: xmlStrPrintf (Aleksey Sanin),
98 Walker i.e. reader on a document tree based on Alfred Mickautsch code,
99 make room in nodes for line numbers, reference counting and future PSVI
100 extensions, generation of character ranges to be checked with faster
101 algorithm (William), xmlParserMaxDepth (Crutcher Dunnavant), buffer
102 access</li>
103 <li>New xmlWriter API provided by Alfred Mickautsch</li>
104 <li>Schemas: base64 support by Anthony Carrico</li>
105 <li>Parser&lt;-&gt;HTTP integration fix, proper processing of the Mime-Type
106 and charset informations if available.</li>
107 <li>Relax-NG: bug fixes including the one reported by Martijn Faassen and
108 zeroOrMore, better error reporting.</li>
109 <li>Python bindings (Stéphane Bidoul), never use stdout for errors
110 output</li>
111 <li>Portability: all the headers have macros for export and calling
112 convention definitions (Igor Zlatkovic), VMS update (Craig A. Berry),
113 Windows: threads (Jesse Pelton), Borland compiler (Eric Zurcher, Igor),
114 Mingw (Igor), typos (Mark Vakoc), beta version (Stephane Bidoul),
115 warning cleanups on AIX and MIPS compilers (William Brack), BeOS (Marcin
116 'Shard' Konicki)</li>
117 <li>Documentation fixes and README (William Brack), search fix (William),
118 tutorial updates (John Fleck), namespace docs (Stefan Kost)</li>
119 <li>Bug fixes: xmlCleanupParser (Dave Beckett), threading uninitialized
120 mutexes, HTML doctype lowercase, SAX/IO (William), compression detection
121 and restore (William), attribute declaration in DTDs (William), namespace
122 on attribute in HTML output (William), input filename (Rob Richards),
123 namespace DTD validation, xmlReplaceNode (Chris Ryland), I/O callbacks

127 (William), xmlCleanupParser (Marc Liyanage), CDATA output (William), HTTP
128 error handling.</li>
129 <li>xmllint options: --dtdvalidfpi for Tobias Reif, --sax1 for compat
130 testing, --nodict for building without tree dictionnary, --nocdata to
131 replace CDATA by text, --nsclean to remove surperfluous namespace
132 declarations</li>
133 <li>added xml2-config --libtool-libs option from Kevin P. Fleming</li>
134 <li>a lot of profiling and tuning of the code, speedup patch for
135 xmlSearchNs() by Luca Padovani. The xmlReader should do far less
136 allocation and it speed should get closer to SAX. Chris Anderson worked
137 on speeding and cleaning up repetitive checking code.</li>
138 <li>cleanup of &quot;make tests&quot;</li>
139 <li>libxml-2.0-uninstalled.pc from Malcolm Tredinnick</li>
140 <li>deactivated the broken docBook SGML parser code and plugged the XML
