404 of change</li>
405 <li>Increased the library modularity, far more options can be stripped out,
406 a --with-minimum configuration will weight around 160KBytes</li>
407 <li>Use per parser and per document dictionnary, allocate names and small
408 text nodes from the dictionnary</li>
409 <li>Switch to a SAX2 like parser rewrote most of the XML parser core,
410 provides namespace resolution and defaulted attributes, minimize memory
411 allocations and copies, namespace checking and specific error handling,
412 immutable buffers, make predefined entities static structures, etc...</li>
413 <li>rewrote all the error handling in the library, all errors can be
414 intercepted at a structured level, with precise information
415 available.</li>
416 <li>New simpler and more generic XML and HTML parser APIs, allowing to
417 easilly modify the parsing options and reuse parser context for multiple
418 consecutive documents.</li>
419 <li>Similar new APIs for the xmlReader, for options and reuse, provided new
420 functions to access content as const strings, use them for Python
421 bindings</li>
422 <li>a lot of other smaller API improvements: xmlStrPrintf (Aleksey Sanin),
423 Walker i.e. reader on a document tree based on Alfred Mickautsch code,
