2659  <li>fixed the spec the RPMs should be better</li>
2660  <li>fixed a serious bug in the FTP implementation, released 1.8.9 to solve

2665</ul><h3>2.1.0 and 1.8.8: June 29 2000</h3><ul>
2666  <li>1.8.8 is mostly a commodity package for upgrading to libxml2 according
2667    to <a href="upgrade.html">new instructions</a>. It fixes a nasty problem
2668    about &amp;#38; charref parsing</li>
2669  <li>2.1.0 also ease the upgrade from libxml v1 to the recent version. it
2670    also contains numerous fixes and enhancements:
2671    <ul>
2672      <li>added xmlStopParser() to stop parsing</li>

2678      <li>lot of various fixes</li>
2679    </ul>
2680  </li>
2681</ul><h3>2.0.0: Apr 12 2000</h3><ul>
2682  <li>First public release of libxml2. If you are using libxml, it's a good
2683    idea to check the 1.x to 2.x upgrade instructions. NOTE: while initially
2684    scheduled for Apr 3 the release occurred only on Apr 12 due to massive
2685    workload.</li>
2686  <li>The include are now located under $prefix/include/libxml (instead of
2687    $prefix/include/gnome-xml), they also are referenced by
2688    <pre>#include &lt;libxml/xxx.h&gt;</pre>
2689    <p>instead of</p>
2690    <pre>#include "xxx.h"</pre>
2691  </li>
2692  <li>a new URI module for parsing URIs and following strictly RFC 2396</li>
2693  <li>the memory allocation routines used by libxml can now be overloaded
2694    dynamically by using xmlMemSetup()</li>
2695  <li>The previously CVS only tool tester has been renamed
2696    <strong>xmllint</strong> and is now installed as part of the libxml2
2697    package</li>
2698  <li>The I/O interface has been revamped. There is now ways to plug in
2699    specific I/O modules, either at the URI scheme detection level using
2700    xmlRegisterInputCallbacks()  or by passing I/O functions when creating a
2701    parser context using xmlCreateIOParserCtxt()</li>
2702  <li>there is a C preprocessor macro LIBXML_VERSION providing the version
2703    number of the libxml module in use</li>
2704  <li>a number of optional features of libxml can now be excluded at
2705    configure time (FTP/HTTP/HTML/XPath/Debug)</li>
2706</ul><h3>2.0.0beta: Mar 14 2000</h3><ul>
2707  <li>This is a first Beta release of libxml version 2</li>
2708  <li>It's available only from<a href="ftp://xmlsoft.org/libxml2/">xmlsoft.org
2709    FTP</a>, it's packaged as libxml2-2.0.0beta and available as tar and
2710  RPMs</li>
2711  <li>This version is now the head in the Gnome CVS base, the old one is
2712    available under the tag LIB_XML_1_X</li>
2713  <li>This includes a very large set of changes. From a  programmatic point
2714    of view applications should not have to be modified too much, check the
2715    <a href="upgrade.html">upgrade page</a></li>
2716  <li>Some interfaces may changes (especially a bit about encoding).</li>
2717  <li>the updates includes:
2718    <ul>
2719      <li>fix I18N support. ISO-Latin-x/UTF-8/UTF-16 (nearly) seems correctly
2720        handled now</li>
2721      <li>Better handling of entities, especially well-formedness checking
2722        and proper PEref extensions in external subsets</li>
2723      <li>DTD conditional sections</li>
2724      <li>Validation now correctly handle entities content</li>
2725      <li><a href="http://rpmfind.net/tools/gdome/messages/0039.html">change
2726        structures to accommodate DOM</a></li>
2727    </ul>
2728  </li>
2729  <li>Serious progress were made toward compliance, <a href="conf/result.html">here are the result of the test</a> against the
2730    OASIS testsuite (except the Japanese tests since I don't support that
2731    encoding yet). This URL is rebuilt every couple of hours using the CVS
2732    head version.</li>
2733</ul><h3>1.8.7: Mar 6 2000</h3><ul>
2734  <li>This is a bug fix release:</li>
2735  <li>It is possible to disable the ignorable blanks heuristic used by
2736    libxml-1.x, a new function  xmlKeepBlanksDefault(0) will allow this. Note
2737    that for adherence to XML spec, this behaviour will be disabled by
2738    default in 2.x . The same function will allow to keep compatibility for
2739    old code.</li>
2740  <li>Blanks in &lt;a&gt;  &lt;/a&gt; constructs are not ignored anymore,
2741    avoiding heuristic is really the Right Way :-\</li>
2742  <li>The unchecked use of snprintf which was breaking libxml-1.8.6
2743    compilation on some platforms has been fixed</li>
2744  <li>nanoftp.c nanohttp.c: Fixed '#' and '?' stripping when processing
2745  URIs</li>
2746</ul><h3>1.8.6: Jan 31 2000</h3><ul>
2747  <li>added a nanoFTP transport module, debugged until the new version of <a href="http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/rpmfind.html">rpmfind</a> can use
2748    it without troubles</li>
2749</ul><h3>1.8.5: Jan 21 2000</h3><ul>
2750  <li>adding APIs to parse a well balanced chunk of XML (production <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml#NT-content">[43] content</a> of the
2751    XML spec)</li>
2752  <li>fixed a hideous bug in xmlGetProp pointed by Rune.Djurhuus@fast.no</li>
2753  <li>Jody Goldberg &lt;jgoldberg@home.com&gt; provided another patch trying
2754    to solve the zlib checks problems</li>
2755  <li>The current state in gnome CVS base is expected to ship as 1.8.5 with
2756    gnumeric soon</li>
2757</ul><h3>1.8.4: Jan 13 2000</h3><ul>
2758  <li>bug fixes, reintroduced xmlNewGlobalNs(), fixed xmlNewNs()</li>

2768  <li>Fixed bugs in xmlNewNs()</li>
2769  <li>External entity loading code has been revamped, now it uses
2770    xmlLoadExternalEntity(), some fix on entities processing were added</li>
2771  <li>cleaned up WIN32 includes of socket stuff</li>
2772</ul><h3>1.8.2: Dec 21 1999</h3><ul>
2773  <li>I got another problem with includes and C++, I hope this issue is fixed
2774    for good this time</li>
2775  <li>Added a few tree modification functions: xmlReplaceNode,
2776    xmlAddPrevSibling, xmlAddNextSibling, xmlNodeSetName and
2777    xmlDocSetRootElement</li>
2778  <li>Tried to improve the HTML output with help from <a href="mailto:clahey@umich.edu">Chris Lahey</a></li>

2781    the "namespace" keyword and C escaping in include files</li>
2782  <li>a problem in one of the core macros IS_CHAR was corrected</li>
2783  <li>fixed a bug introduced in 1.8.0 breaking default namespace processing,
2784    and more specifically the Dia application</li>
2785  <li>fixed a posteriori validation (validation after parsing, or by using a
2786    Dtd not specified in the original document)</li>
2787  <li>fixed a bug in</li>
2788</ul><h3>1.8.0: Dec 12 1999</h3><ul>
2789  <li>cleanup, especially memory wise</li>
2790  <li>the parser should be more reliable, especially the HTML one, it should
2791    not crash, whatever the input !</li>
2792  <li>Integrated various patches, especially a speedup improvement for large
2793    dataset from <a href="mailto:cnygard@bellatlantic.net">Carl Nygard</a>,
2794    configure with --with-buffers to enable them.</li>
2795  <li>attribute normalization, oops should have been added long ago !</li>
2796  <li>attributes defaulted from DTDs should be available, xmlSetProp() now
2797    does entities escaping by default.</li>
2798</ul><h3>1.7.4: Oct 25 1999</h3><ul>
2799  <li>Lots of HTML improvement</li>

2807</ul><h3>1.7.1: Sep 24 1999</h3><ul>
2808  <li>The basic type for strings manipulated by libxml has been renamed in
2809    1.7.1 from <strong>CHAR</strong> to <strong>xmlChar</strong>. The reason
2810    is that CHAR was conflicting with a predefined type on Windows. However
2811    on non WIN32 environment, compatibility is provided by the way of  a
2812    <strong>#define </strong>.</li>
2813  <li>Changed another error : the use of a structure field called errno, and
2814    leading to troubles on platforms where it's a macro</li>
2815</ul><h3>1.7.0: Sep 23 1999</h3><ul>
2816  <li>Added the ability to fetch remote DTD or parsed entities, see the <a href="html/libxml-nanohttp.html">nanohttp</a> module.</li>
2817  <li>Added an errno to report errors by another mean than a simple printf
2818    like callback</li>
2819  <li>Finished ID/IDREF support and checking when validation</li>
2820  <li>Serious memory leaks fixed (there is now a <a href="html/libxml-xmlmemory.html">memory wrapper</a> module)</li>
2821  <li>Improvement of <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath">XPath</a>
2822    implementation</li>
2823  <li>Added an HTML parser front-end</li>
