2901        related problems
2902   - output to a given encoding has been added/tested
2903   - lot of various fixes
2904
2905
29062.0.0: Apr 12 2000:
2907   - First public release of libxml2. If you are using libxml, it's a good
2908    idea to check the 1.x to 2.x upgrade instructions. NOTE: while initially
2909    scheduled for Apr 3 the release occurred only on Apr 12 due to massive
2910    workload.
2911   - The include are now located under $prefix/include/libxml (instead of
2912    $prefix/include/gnome-xml), they also are referenced by
2913    #include <libxml/xxx.h>
2914    instead of
2915    #include "xxx.h"
2916
2917   - a new URI module for parsing URIs and following strictly RFC 2396
2918   - the memory allocation routines used by libxml can now be overloaded
2919    dynamically by using xmlMemSetup()
2920   - The previously CVS only tool tester has been renamed
2921    xmllint and is now installed as part of the libxml2
2922    package
2923   - The I/O interface has been revamped. There is now ways to plug in
2924    specific I/O modules, either at the URI scheme detection level using
2925    xmlRegisterInputCallbacks()  or by passing I/O functions when creating a
2926    parser context using xmlCreateIOParserCtxt()
2927   - there is a C preprocessor macro LIBXML_VERSION providing the version
2928    number of the libxml module in use
2929   - a number of optional features of libxml can now be excluded at
2930    configure time (FTP/HTTP/HTML/XPath/Debug)
2931
2932
29332.0.0beta: Mar 14 2000:
2934   - This is a first Beta release of libxml version 2
2935   - It's available only fromxmlsoft.org
2936    FTP, it's packaged as libxml2-2.0.0beta and available as tar and
2937  RPMs
2938   - This version is now the head in the Gnome CVS base, the old one is
2939    available under the tag LIB_XML_1_X
2940   - This includes a very large set of changes. From a  programmatic point
2941    of view applications should not have to be modified too much, check the
2942    upgrade page
2943   - Some interfaces may changes (especially a bit about encoding).
2944   - the updates includes:
2945
2946      fix I18N support. ISO-Latin-x/UTF-8/UTF-16 (nearly) seems correctly
2947        handled now
2948      Better handling of entities, especially well-formedness checking
2949        and proper PEref extensions in external subsets
2950      DTD conditional sections
2951      Validation now correctly handle entities content
2952      change
2953        structures to accommodate DOM
2954
2955
2956   - fix I18N support. ISO-Latin-x/UTF-8/UTF-16 (nearly) seems correctly
2957        handled now
2958   - Better handling of entities, especially well-formedness checking
2959        and proper PEref extensions in external subsets
2960   - DTD conditional sections
2961   - Validation now correctly handle entities content
2962   - change
2963        structures to accommodate DOM
2964   - Serious progress were made toward compliance, here are the result of the test against the
2965    OASIS testsuite (except the Japanese tests since I don't support that
2966    encoding yet). This URL is rebuilt every couple of hours using the CVS
2967    head version.
2968
2969
29701.8.7: Mar 6 2000:
2971   - This is a bug fix release:
2972   - It is possible to disable the ignorable blanks heuristic used by
2973    libxml-1.x, a new function  xmlKeepBlanksDefault(0) will allow this. Note
2974    that for adherence to XML spec, this behaviour will be disabled by
2975    default in 2.x . The same function will allow to keep compatibility for
2976    old code.
2977   - Blanks in <a>  </a> constructs are not ignored anymore,
2978    avoiding heuristic is really the Right Way :-\
2979   - The unchecked use of snprintf which was breaking libxml-1.8.6
2980    compilation on some platforms has been fixed
2981   - nanoftp.c nanohttp.c: Fixed '#' and '?' stripping when processing
2982  URIs
2983
2984
29851.8.6: Jan 31 2000:
2986   - added a nanoFTP transport module, debugged until the new version of rpmfind can use
2987    it without troubles
2988
2989
29901.8.5: Jan 21 2000:
2991   - adding APIs to parse a well balanced chunk of XML (production [43] content of the
2992    XML spec)
2993   - fixed a hideous bug in xmlGetProp pointed by Rune.Djurhuus@fast.no
2994   - Jody Goldberg <jgoldberg@home.com> provided another patch trying
2995    to solve the zlib checks problems
2996   - The current state in gnome CVS base is expected to ship as 1.8.5 with
2997    gnumeric soon
2998
2999
30001.8.4: Jan 13 2000:

3012   - added xmlRemoveProp(), xmlRemoveID() and xmlRemoveRef()
3013   - Fixed bugs in xmlNewNs()
3014   - External entity loading code has been revamped, now it uses
3015    xmlLoadExternalEntity(), some fix on entities processing were added
3016   - cleaned up WIN32 includes of socket stuff
3017
3018
30191.8.2: Dec 21 1999:
3020   - I got another problem with includes and C++, I hope this issue is fixed
3021    for good this time
3022   - Added a few tree modification functions: xmlReplaceNode,
3023    xmlAddPrevSibling, xmlAddNextSibling, xmlNodeSetName and
3024    xmlDocSetRootElement
3025   - Tried to improve the HTML output with help from Chris Lahey
3026
3027
30281.8.1: Dec 18 1999:
3029   - various patches to avoid troubles when using libxml with C++ compilers
3030    the "namespace" keyword and C escaping in include files
3031   - a problem in one of the core macros IS_CHAR was corrected
3032   - fixed a bug introduced in 1.8.0 breaking default namespace processing,
3033    and more specifically the Dia application
3034   - fixed a posteriori validation (validation after parsing, or by using a
3035    Dtd not specified in the original document)
3036   - fixed a bug in
3037
3038
30391.8.0: Dec 12 1999:
3040   - cleanup, especially memory wise
3041   - the parser should be more reliable, especially the HTML one, it should
3042    not crash, whatever the input !
3043   - Integrated various patches, especially a speedup improvement for large
3044    dataset from Carl Nygard,
3045    configure with --with-buffers to enable them.
3046   - attribute normalization, oops should have been added long ago !
3047   - attributes defaulted from DTDs should be available, xmlSetProp() now
3048    does entities escaping by default.
3049
3050
30511.7.4: Oct 25 1999:
3052   - Lots of HTML improvement
3053   - Fixed some errors when saving both XML and HTML
3054   - More examples, the regression tests should now look clean
3055   - Fixed a bug with contiguous charref
3056
3057
30581.7.3: Sep 29 1999:
3059   - portability problems fixed
3060   - snprintf was used unconditionally, leading to link problems on system
3061    were it's not available, fixed
3062
3063
30641.7.1: Sep 24 1999:
3065   - The basic type for strings manipulated by libxml has been renamed in
3066    1.7.1 from CHAR to xmlChar. The reason
3067    is that CHAR was conflicting with a predefined type on Windows. However
3068    on non WIN32 environment, compatibility is provided by the way of  a
3069    #define .
3070   - Changed another error : the use of a structure field called errno, and
3071    leading to troubles on platforms where it's a macro
3072
3073
30741.7.0: Sep 23 1999:
3075   - Added the ability to fetch remote DTD or parsed entities, see the nanohttp module.
3076   - Added an errno to report errors by another mean than a simple printf
3077    like callback
3078   - Finished ID/IDREF support and checking when validation
3079   - Serious memory leaks fixed (there is now a memory wrapper module)
3080   - Improvement of XPath
3081    implementation
3082   - Added an HTML parser front-end
