3054</ul><h3>2.1.0 and 1.8.8: June 29 2000</h3><ul>
3055  <li>1.8.8 is mostly a commodity package for upgrading to libxml2 according
3056    to <a href="upgrade.html">new instructions</a>. It fixes a nasty problem
3057    about &amp;#38; charref parsing</li>
3058  <li>2.1.0 also ease the upgrade from libxml v1 to the recent version. it
3059    also contains numerous fixes and enhancements:
3060    <ul>
3061      <li>added xmlStopParser() to stop parsing</li>

3067      <li>lot of various fixes</li>
3068    </ul>
3069  </li>
3070</ul><h3>2.0.0: Apr 12 2000</h3><ul>
3071  <li>First public release of libxml2. If you are using libxml, it's a good
3072    idea to check the 1.x to 2.x upgrade instructions. NOTE: while initially
3073    scheduled for Apr 3 the release occurred only on Apr 12 due to massive
3074    workload.</li>
3075  <li>The include are now located under $prefix/include/libxml (instead of
3076    $prefix/include/gnome-xml), they also are referenced by
3077    <pre>#include &lt;libxml/xxx.h&gt;</pre>
3078    <p>instead of</p>
3079    <pre>#include "xxx.h"</pre>
3080  </li>
3081  <li>a new URI module for parsing URIs and following strictly RFC 2396</li>
3082  <li>the memory allocation routines used by libxml can now be overloaded
3083    dynamically by using xmlMemSetup()</li>
3084  <li>The previously CVS only tool tester has been renamed
3085    <strong>xmllint</strong> and is now installed as part of the libxml2
3086    package</li>
3087  <li>The I/O interface has been revamped. There is now ways to plug in
3088    specific I/O modules, either at the URI scheme detection level using
3089    xmlRegisterInputCallbacks()  or by passing I/O functions when creating a
3090    parser context using xmlCreateIOParserCtxt()</li>
3091  <li>there is a C preprocessor macro LIBXML_VERSION providing the version
3092    number of the libxml module in use</li>
3093  <li>a number of optional features of libxml can now be excluded at
3094    configure time (FTP/HTTP/HTML/XPath/Debug)</li>
3095</ul><h3>2.0.0beta: Mar 14 2000</h3><ul>
3096  <li>This is a first Beta release of libxml version 2</li>
3097  <li>It's available only from<a href="ftp://xmlsoft.org/libxml2/">xmlsoft.org
3098    FTP</a>, it's packaged as libxml2-2.0.0beta and available as tar and
3099  RPMs</li>
3100  <li>This version is now the head in the Gnome CVS base, the old one is
3101    available under the tag LIB_XML_1_X</li>
3102  <li>This includes a very large set of changes. From a  programmatic point
3103    of view applications should not have to be modified too much, check the
3104    <a href="upgrade.html">upgrade page</a></li>
3105  <li>Some interfaces may changes (especially a bit about encoding).</li>
3106  <li>the updates includes:
3107    <ul>
3108      <li>fix I18N support. ISO-Latin-x/UTF-8/UTF-16 (nearly) seems correctly
3109        handled now</li>
3110      <li>Better handling of entities, especially well-formedness checking
3111        and proper PEref extensions in external subsets</li>
3112      <li>DTD conditional sections</li>
3113      <li>Validation now correctly handle entities content</li>
3114      <li><a href="http://rpmfind.net/tools/gdome/messages/0039.html">change
3115        structures to accommodate DOM</a></li>
3116    </ul>
3117  </li>
3118  <li>Serious progress were made toward compliance, <a href="conf/result.html">here are the result of the test</a> against the
3119    OASIS testsuite (except the Japanese tests since I don't support that
3120    encoding yet). This URL is rebuilt every couple of hours using the CVS
3121    head version.</li>
3122</ul><h3>1.8.7: Mar 6 2000</h3><ul>
3123  <li>This is a bug fix release:</li>
3124  <li>It is possible to disable the ignorable blanks heuristic used by
3125    libxml-1.x, a new function  xmlKeepBlanksDefault(0) will allow this. Note
3126    that for adherence to XML spec, this behaviour will be disabled by
3127    default in 2.x . The same function will allow to keep compatibility for
3128    old code.</li>
3129  <li>Blanks in &lt;a&gt;  &lt;/a&gt; constructs are not ignored anymore,
3130    avoiding heuristic is really the Right Way :-\</li>
3131  <li>The unchecked use of snprintf which was breaking libxml-1.8.6
3132    compilation on some platforms has been fixed</li>
3133  <li>nanoftp.c nanohttp.c: Fixed '#' and '?' stripping when processing
3134  URIs</li>
3135</ul><h3>1.8.6: Jan 31 2000</h3><ul>
3136  <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
3137    it without troubles</li>
3138</ul><h3>1.8.5: Jan 21 2000</h3><ul>
3139  <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
3140    XML spec)</li>
3141  <li>fixed a hideous bug in xmlGetProp pointed by Rune.Djurhuus@fast.no</li>
3142  <li>Jody Goldberg &lt;jgoldberg@home.com&gt; provided another patch trying
3143    to solve the zlib checks problems</li>
3144  <li>The current state in gnome CVS base is expected to ship as 1.8.5 with
3145    gnumeric soon</li>
3146</ul><h3>1.8.4: Jan 13 2000</h3><ul>
3147  <li>bug fixes, reintroduced xmlNewGlobalNs(), fixed xmlNewNs()</li>
3148  <li>all exit() call should have been removed from libxml</li>

3156  <li>added xmlRemoveProp(), xmlRemoveID() and xmlRemoveRef()</li>
3157  <li>Fixed bugs in xmlNewNs()</li>
3158  <li>External entity loading code has been revamped, now it uses
3159    xmlLoadExternalEntity(), some fix on entities processing were added</li>
3160  <li>cleaned up WIN32 includes of socket stuff</li>
3161</ul><h3>1.8.2: Dec 21 1999</h3><ul>
3162  <li>I got another problem with includes and C++, I hope this issue is fixed
3163    for good this time</li>
3164  <li>Added a few tree modification functions: xmlReplaceNode,
3165    xmlAddPrevSibling, xmlAddNextSibling, xmlNodeSetName and
3166    xmlDocSetRootElement</li>
3167  <li>Tried to improve the HTML output with help from <a href="mailto:clahey@umich.edu">Chris Lahey</a></li>
3168</ul><h3>1.8.1: Dec 18 1999</h3><ul>
3169  <li>various patches to avoid troubles when using libxml with C++ compilers
3170    the "namespace" keyword and C escaping in include files</li>
3171  <li>a problem in one of the core macros IS_CHAR was corrected</li>
3172  <li>fixed a bug introduced in 1.8.0 breaking default namespace processing,
3173    and more specifically the Dia application</li>
3174  <li>fixed a posteriori validation (validation after parsing, or by using a
3175    Dtd not specified in the original document)</li>
3176  <li>fixed a bug in</li>
3177</ul><h3>1.8.0: Dec 12 1999</h3><ul>
3178  <li>cleanup, especially memory wise</li>
3179  <li>the parser should be more reliable, especially the HTML one, it should
3180    not crash, whatever the input !</li>
3181  <li>Integrated various patches, especially a speedup improvement for large
3182    dataset from <a href="mailto:cnygard@bellatlantic.net">Carl Nygard</a>,
3183    configure with --with-buffers to enable them.</li>
3184  <li>attribute normalization, oops should have been added long ago !</li>
3185  <li>attributes defaulted from DTDs should be available, xmlSetProp() now
3186    does entities escaping by default.</li>
3187</ul><h3>1.7.4: Oct 25 1999</h3><ul>
3188  <li>Lots of HTML improvement</li>
3189  <li>Fixed some errors when saving both XML and HTML</li>
3190  <li>More examples, the regression tests should now look clean</li>

3195    were it's not available, fixed</li>
3196</ul><h3>1.7.1: Sep 24 1999</h3><ul>
3197  <li>The basic type for strings manipulated by libxml has been renamed in
3198    1.7.1 from <strong>CHAR</strong> to <strong>xmlChar</strong>. The reason
3199    is that CHAR was conflicting with a predefined type on Windows. However
3200    on non WIN32 environment, compatibility is provided by the way of  a
3201    <strong>#define </strong>.</li>
3202  <li>Changed another error : the use of a structure field called errno, and
3203    leading to troubles on platforms where it's a macro</li>
3204</ul><h3>1.7.0: Sep 23 1999</h3><ul>
3205  <li>Added the ability to fetch remote DTD or parsed entities, see the <a href="html/libxml-nanohttp.html">nanohttp</a> module.</li>
3206  <li>Added an errno to report errors by another mean than a simple printf
3207    like callback</li>
3208  <li>Finished ID/IDREF support and checking when validation</li>
3209  <li>Serious memory leaks fixed (there is now a <a href="html/libxml-xmlmemory.html">memory wrapper</a> module)</li>
3210  <li>Improvement of <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath">XPath</a>
3211    implementation</li>
3212  <li>Added an HTML parser front-end</li>
