2544   - Increased the library modularity, far more options can be stripped out,
2545    a --with-minimum configuration will weight around 160KBytes
2546   - Use per parser and per document dictionary, allocate names and small
2547    text nodes from the dictionary
2548   - Switch to a SAX2 like parser rewrote most of the XML parser core,
2549    provides namespace resolution and defaulted attributes, minimize memory
2550    allocations and copies, namespace checking and specific error handling,
2551    immutable buffers, make predefined entities static structures, etc...

2598   - a lot of profiling and tuning of the code, speedup patch for
2599    xmlSearchNs() by Luca Padovani. The xmlReader should do far less
2600    allocation and it speed should get closer to SAX. Chris Anderson worked
2601    on speeding and cleaning up repetitive checking code.
2602   - cleanup of "make tests"
2603   - libxml-2.0-uninstalled.pc from Malcolm Tredinnick

3386   - lot of various fixes
3387
3388
33892.0.0: Apr 12 2000:
3390   - First public release of libxml2. If you are using libxml, it's a good
3391    idea to check the 1.x to 2.x upgrade instructions. NOTE: while initially
3392    scheduled for Apr 3 the release occurred only on Apr 12 due to massive
3393    workload.
3394   - The include are now located under $prefix/include/libxml (instead of
3395    $prefix/include/gnome-xml), they also are referenced by
3396    #include <libxml/xxx.h>
3397    instead of
3398    #include "xxx.h"
3399
3400   - a new URI module for parsing URIs and following strictly RFC 2396
3401   - the memory allocation routines used by libxml can now be overloaded
3402    dynamically by using xmlMemSetup()
3403   - The previously CVS only tool tester has been renamed
3404    xmllint and is now installed as part of the libxml2
3405    package
3406   - The I/O interface has been revamped. There is now ways to plug in
3407    specific I/O modules, either at the URI scheme detection level using
3408    xmlRegisterInputCallbacks()  or by passing I/O functions when creating a
3409    parser context using xmlCreateIOParserCtxt()
3410   - there is a C preprocessor macro LIBXML_VERSION providing the version
3411    number of the libxml module in use
3412   - a number of optional features of libxml can now be excluded at
3413    configure time (FTP/HTTP/HTML/XPath/Debug)
3414
3415
34162.0.0beta: Mar 14 2000:
3417   - This is a first Beta release of libxml version 2
3418   - It's available only fromxmlsoft.org
3419    FTP, it's packaged as libxml2-2.0.0beta and available as tar and
3420  RPMs
3421   - This version is now the head in the Gnome CVS base, the old one is
3422    available under the tag LIB_XML_1_X
3423   - This includes a very large set of changes. From a  programmatic point
3424    of view applications should not have to be modified too much, check the
3425    upgrade page
3426   - Some interfaces may changes (especially a bit about encoding).
3427   - the updates includes:
3428
3429      fix I18N support. ISO-Latin-x/UTF-8/UTF-16 (nearly) seems correctly
3430        handled now
3431      Better handling of entities, especially well-formedness checking
3432        and proper PEref extensions in external subsets
3433      DTD conditional sections
3434      Validation now correctly handle entities content
3435      change
3436        structures to accommodate DOM
3437
3438
3439   - fix I18N support. ISO-Latin-x/UTF-8/UTF-16 (nearly) seems correctly
3440        handled now
3441   - Better handling of entities, especially well-formedness checking
3442        and proper PEref extensions in external subsets
3443   - DTD conditional sections
3444   - Validation now correctly handle entities content
3445   - change
3446        structures to accommodate DOM
3447   - Serious progress were made toward compliance, here are the result of the test against the
3448    OASIS testsuite (except the Japanese tests since I don't support that
3449    encoding yet). This URL is rebuilt every couple of hours using the CVS
3450    head version.
3451
3452
34531.8.7: Mar 6 2000:
3454   - This is a bug fix release:
3455   - It is possible to disable the ignorable blanks heuristic used by
3456    libxml-1.x, a new function  xmlKeepBlanksDefault(0) will allow this. Note
3457    that for adherence to XML spec, this behaviour will be disabled by
3458    default in 2.x . The same function will allow to keep compatibility for
3459    old code.
3460   - Blanks in <a>  </a> constructs are not ignored anymore,
3461    avoiding heuristic is really the Right Way :-\
3462   - The unchecked use of snprintf which was breaking libxml-1.8.6
3463    compilation on some platforms has been fixed
3464   - nanoftp.c nanohttp.c: Fixed '#' and '?' stripping when processing
3465  URIs
3466
3467

3474   - adding APIs to parse a well balanced chunk of XML (production [43] content of the
3475    XML spec)
3476   - fixed a hideous bug in xmlGetProp pointed by Rune.Djurhuus@fast.no
3477   - Jody Goldberg <jgoldberg@home.com> provided another patch trying
3478    to solve the zlib checks problems
3479   - The current state in gnome CVS base is expected to ship as 1.8.5 with
3480    gnumeric soon
3481

3498    xmlLoadExternalEntity(), some fix on entities processing were added
3499   - cleaned up WIN32 includes of socket stuff
3500
3501
35021.8.2: Dec 21 1999:
3503   - I got another problem with includes and C++, I hope this issue is fixed
3504    for good this time
3505   - Added a few tree modification functions: xmlReplaceNode,
3506    xmlAddPrevSibling, xmlAddNextSibling, xmlNodeSetName and
3507    xmlDocSetRootElement
3508   - Tried to improve the HTML output with help from Chris Lahey
3509
3510
35111.8.1: Dec 18 1999:
3512   - various patches to avoid troubles when using libxml with C++ compilers
3513    the "namespace" keyword and C escaping in include files
3514   - a problem in one of the core macros IS_CHAR was corrected
3515   - fixed a bug introduced in 1.8.0 breaking default namespace processing,
3516    and more specifically the Dia application
3517   - fixed a posteriori validation (validation after parsing, or by using a
3518    Dtd not specified in the original document)
3519   - fixed a bug in
3520
3521
35221.8.0: Dec 12 1999:
3523   - cleanup, especially memory wise
3524   - the parser should be more reliable, especially the HTML one, it should
3525    not crash, whatever the input !
3526   - Integrated various patches, especially a speedup improvement for large
3527    dataset from Carl Nygard,
3528    configure with --with-buffers to enable them.
3529   - attribute normalization, oops should have been added long ago !
3530   - attributes defaulted from DTDs should be available, xmlSetProp() now
3531    does entities escaping by default.
3532
3533
35341.7.4: Oct 25 1999:
3535   - Lots of HTML improvement
3536   - Fixed some errors when saving both XML and HTML
3537   - More examples, the regression tests should now look clean
3538   - Fixed a bug with contiguous charref
3539
3540
35411.7.3: Sep 29 1999:
3542   - portability problems fixed
3543   - snprintf was used unconditionally, leading to link problems on system
3544    were it's not available, fixed
3545
3546
35471.7.1: Sep 24 1999:
3548   - The basic type for strings manipulated by libxml has been renamed in
3549    1.7.1 from CHAR to xmlChar. The reason
3550    is that CHAR was conflicting with a predefined type on Windows. However
3551    on non WIN32 environment, compatibility is provided by the way of  a
3552    #define .
3553   - Changed another error : the use of a structure field called errno, and
3554    leading to troubles on platforms where it's a macro
3555
3556
35571.7.0: Sep 23 1999:
3558   - Added the ability to fetch remote DTD or parsed entities, see the nanohttp module.
3559   - Added an errno to report errors by another mean than a simple printf
3560    like callback
3561   - Finished ID/IDREF support and checking when validation
3562   - Serious memory leaks fixed (there is now a memory wrapper module)
3563   - Improvement of XPath
3564    implementation
3565   - Added an HTML parser front-end
