There is now ways to plug in 1686 specific I/O modules, either at the URI scheme detection level using 1687 xmlRegisterInputCallbacks() or by passing I/O functions when creating a 1688 parser context using xmlCreateIOParserCtxt() 1689 - there is a C preprocessor macro LIBXML_VERSION providing the version 1690 number of the libxml module in use 1691 - a number of optional features of libxml can now be excluded at 1692 configure time (FTP/HTTP/HTML/XPath/Debug) 1693 1694 1695 2.0.0beta: Mar 14 2000: 1696 - This is a first Beta release of libxml version 2 1697 - It's available only fromxmlsoft.org 1698 FTP, it's packaged as libxml2-2.0.0beta and available as tar and 1699 RPMs 1700 - This version is now the head in the Gnome CVS base, the old one is 1701 available under the tag LIB_XML_1_X 1702 - This includes a very large set of changes. From a programmatic point 1703 of view applications should not have to be modified too much, check the 1704 upgrade page 1705 - Some interfaces may changes (especially a bit about encoding). 1706 - the updates includes: 1707 fix I18N support. ISO-Latin-x/UTF-8/UTF-16 (nearly) seems correctly 1708 handled now 1709 Better handling of entities, especially well-formedness checking 1710 and proper PEref extensions in external subsets 1711 DTD conditional sections 1712 Validation now correctly handle entities content 1713 change 1714 structures to accommodate DOM 1715 1716 - fix I18N support.

This URL is rebuilt every couple of hours using the CVS 1727 head version. 1728 1729 1730 1.8.7: Mar 6 2000: 1731 - This is a bug fix release: 1732 - It is possible to disable the ignorable blanks heuristic used by 1733 libxml-1.x, a new function xmlKeepBlanksDefault(0) will allow this. Note 1734 that for adherence to XML spec, this behaviour will be disabled by 1735 default in 2.x . The same function will allow to keep compatibility for 1736 old code. 1737 - Blanks in <a> </a> constructs are not ignored anymore, 1738 avoiding heuristic is really the Right Way :-\ 1739 - The unchecked use of snprintf which was breaking libxml-1.8.6 1740 compilation on some platforms has been fixed 1741 - nanoftp.c nanohttp.c: Fixed '#' and '?' stripping when processing 1742 URIs 1743 1744 1745 1.8.6: Jan 31 2000: 1746 - added a nanoFTP transport module, debugged until the new version of rpmfind can use 1747 it without troubles 1748 1749 1750 1.8.5: Jan 21 2000: 1751 - adding APIs to parse a well balanced chunk of XML (production [43] content of the 1752 XML spec) 1753 - fixed a hideous bug in xmlGetProp pointed by Rune.Djurhuus@fast.no 1754 - Jody Goldberg <jgoldberg@home.com> provided another patch trying 1755 to solve the zlib checks problems 1756 - The current state in gnome CVS base is expected to ship as 1.8.5 with 1757 gnumeric soon 1758 1759 1760 1.8.4: Jan 13 2000: 1761 - bug fixes, reintroduced xmlNewGlobalNs(), fixed xmlNewNs() 1762 - all exit() call should have been removed from libxml 1763 - fixed a problem with INCLUDE_WINSOCK on WIN32 platform 1764 - added newDocFragment() 1765 1766 1767 1.8.3: Jan 5 2000: 1768 - a Push interface for the XML and HTML parsers 1769 - a shell-like interface to the document tree (try tester --shell :-) 1770 - lots of bug fixes and improvement added over XMas holidays 1771 - fixed the DTD parsing code to work with the xhtml DTD 1772 - added xmlRemoveProp(), xmlRemoveID() and xmlRemoveRef() 1773 - Fixed bugs in xmlNewNs() 1774 - External entity loading code has been revamped, now it uses 1775 xmlLoadExternalEntity(), some fix on entities processing were added 1776 - cleaned up WIN32 includes of socket stuff 1777 1778 1779 1.8.2: Dec 21 1999: 1780 - I got another problem with includes and C++, I hope this issue is fixed 1781 for good this time 1782 - Added a few tree modification functions: xmlReplaceNode, 1783 xmlAddPrevSibling, xmlAddNextSibling, xmlNodeSetName and 1784 xmlDocSetRootElement 1785 - Tried to improve the HTML output with help from Chris Lahey 1786 1787 1788 1.8.1: Dec 18 1999: 1789 - various patches to avoid troubles when using libxml with C++ compilers 1790 the "namespace" keyword and C escaping in include files 1791 - a problem in one of the core macros IS_CHAR was corrected 1792 - fixed a bug introduced in 1.8.0 breaking default namespace processing, 1793 and more specifically the Dia application 1794 - fixed a posteriori validation (validation after parsing, or by using a 1795 Dtd not specified in the original document) 1796 - fixed a bug in 1797 1798 1799 1.8.0: Dec 12 1999: 1800 - cleanup, especially memory wise 1801 - the parser should be more reliable, especially the HTML one, it should 1802 not crash, whatever the input ! 1803 - Integrated various patches, especially a speedup improvement for large 1804 dataset from Carl Nygard, 1805 configure with --with-buffers to enable them. 1806 - attribute normalization, oops should have been added long ago ! 1807 - attributes defaulted from DTDs should be available, xmlSetProp() now 1808 does entities escaping by default. 1809 1810 1811 1.7.4: Oct 25 1999: 1812 - Lots of HTML improvement 1813 - Fixed some errors when saving both XML and HTML 1814 - More examples, the regression tests should now look clean 1815 - Fixed a bug with contiguous charref 1816 1817 1818 1.7.3: Sep 29 1999: 1819 - portability problems fixed 1820 - snprintf was used unconditionally, leading to link problems on system 1821 were it's not available, fixed 1822 1823 1824 1.7.1: Sep 24 1999: 1825 - The basic type for strings manipulated by libxml has been renamed in 1826 1.7.1 from CHAR to xmlChar. The reason 1827 is that CHAR was conflicting with a predefined type on Windows. However 1828 on non WIN32 environment, compatibility is provided by the way of a 1829 #define . 1830 - Changed another error : the use of a structure field called errno, and 1831 leading to troubles on platforms where it's a macro 1832 1833 1834 1.7.0: Sep 23 1999: 1835 - Added the ability to fetch remote DTD or parsed entities, see the nanohttp module. 1836 - Added an errno to report errors by another mean than a simple printf 1837 like callback 1838 - Finished ID/IDREF support and checking when validation 1839 - Serious memory leaks fixed (there is now a memory wrapper module) 1840 - Improvement of XPath 1841 implementation 1842 - Added an HTML parser front-end 1843 1844 Daniel Veillard at 1845 bugs.html
