2616</ul><h3>2.0.0: Apr 12 2000</h3><ul>
2617  <li>First public release of libxml2. If you are using libxml, it's a good
2618    idea to check the 1.x to 2.x upgrade instructions. NOTE: while initially
2619    scheduled for Apr 3 the release occurred only on Apr 12 due to massive
2620    workload.</li>
2621  <li>The include are now located under $prefix/include/libxml (instead of
2622    $prefix/include/gnome-xml), they also are referenced by
2623    <pre>#include &lt;libxml/xxx.h&gt;</pre>

2625    <pre>#include "xxx.h"</pre>
2626  </li>

2631    <strong>xmllint</strong> and is now installed as part of the libxml2
2632    package</li>
2633  <li>The I/O interface has been revamped. There is now ways to plug in
2634    specific I/O modules, either at the URI scheme detection level using
2635    xmlRegisterInputCallbacks()  or by passing I/O functions when creating a
2636    parser context using xmlCreateIOParserCtxt()</li>
2637  <li>there is a C preprocessor macro LIBXML_VERSION providing the version
2638    number of the libxml module in use</li>
2639  <li>a number of optional features of libxml can now be excluded at
2640    configure time (FTP/HTTP/HTML/XPath/Debug)</li>
2641</ul><h3>2.0.0beta: Mar 14 2000</h3><ul>
2642  <li>This is a first Beta release of libxml version 2</li>
2643  <li>It's available only from<a href="ftp://xmlsoft.org/libxml2/">xmlsoft.org
2644    FTP</a>, it's packaged as libxml2-2.0.0beta and available as tar and
2645  RPMs</li>
2646  <li>This version is now the head in the Gnome CVS base, the old one is
2647    available under the tag LIB_XML_1_X</li>
2648  <li>This includes a very large set of changes. From a  programmatic point
2649    of view applications should not have to be modified too much, check the
2650    <a href="upgrade.html">upgrade page</a></li>
2651  <li>Some interfaces may changes (especially a bit about encoding).</li>
2652  <li>the updates includes:
2653    <ul>
2654      <li>fix I18N support. ISO-Latin-x/UTF-8/UTF-16 (nearly) seems correctly
2655        handled now</li>
2656      <li>Better handling of entities, especially well-formedness checking
2657        and proper PEref extensions in external subsets</li>
2658      <li>DTD conditional sections</li>
2659      <li>Validation now correctly handle entities content</li>
2660      <li><a href="http://rpmfind.net/tools/gdome/messages/0039.html">change
2661        structures to accommodate DOM</a></li>
2662    </ul>
2663  </li>
2664  <li>Serious progress were made toward compliance, <a href="conf/result.html">here are the result of the test</a> against the
2665    OASIS testsuite (except the Japanese tests since I don't support that
2666    encoding yet). This URL is rebuilt every couple of hours using the CVS
2667    head version.</li>
2668</ul><h3>1.8.7: Mar 6 2000</h3><ul>
2669  <li>This is a bug fix release:</li>
2670  <li>It is possible to disable the ignorable blanks heuristic used by
2671    libxml-1.x, a new function  xmlKeepBlanksDefault(0) will allow this. Note
2672    that for adherence to XML spec, this behaviour will be disabled by
2673    default in 2.x . The same function will allow to keep compatibility for
2674    old code.</li>
2675  <li>Blanks in &lt;a&gt;  &lt;/a&gt; constructs are not ignored anymore,
2676    avoiding heuristic is really the Right Way :-\</li>
2677  <li>The unchecked use of snprintf which was breaking libxml-1.8.6
2678    compilation on some platforms has been fixed</li>
2679  <li>nanoftp.c nanohttp.c: Fixed '#' and '?' stripping when processing
2680  URIs</li>
2681</ul><h3>1.8.6: Jan 31 2000</h3><ul>
2682  <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
2683    it without troubles</li>
2684</ul><h3>1.8.5: Jan 21 2000</h3><ul>
2685  <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
2686    XML spec)</li>
2687  <li>fixed a hideous bug in xmlGetProp pointed by Rune.Djurhuus@fast.no</li>
2688  <li>Jody Goldberg &lt;jgoldberg@home.com&gt; provided another patch trying
2689    to solve the zlib checks problems</li>
2690  <li>The current state in gnome CVS base is expected to ship as 1.8.5 with
2691    gnumeric soon</li>

2703  <li>Fixed bugs in xmlNewNs()</li>
2704  <li>External entity loading code has been revamped, now it uses
2705    xmlLoadExternalEntity(), some fix on entities processing were added</li>
2706  <li>cleaned up WIN32 includes of socket stuff</li>
2707</ul><h3>1.8.2: Dec 21 1999</h3><ul>
2708  <li>I got another problem with includes and C++, I hope this issue is fixed
2709    for good this time</li>
2710  <li>Added a few tree modification functions: xmlReplaceNode,
2711    xmlAddPrevSibling, xmlAddNextSibling, xmlNodeSetName and
2712    xmlDocSetRootElement</li>
2713  <li>Tried to improve the HTML output with help from <a href="mailto:clahey@umich.edu">Chris Lahey</a></li>

2717  <li>a problem in one of the core macros IS_CHAR was corrected</li>
2718  <li>fixed a bug introduced in 1.8.0 breaking default namespace processing,
2719    and more specifically the Dia application</li>
2720  <li>fixed a posteriori validation (validation after parsing, or by using a
2721    Dtd not specified in the original document)</li>
2722  <li>fixed a bug in</li>
2723</ul><h3>1.8.0: Dec 12 1999</h3><ul>
2724  <li>cleanup, especially memory wise</li>
2725  <li>the parser should be more reliable, especially the HTML one, it should
2726    not crash, whatever the input !</li>
2727  <li>Integrated various patches, especially a speedup improvement for large
2728    dataset from <a href="mailto:cnygard@bellatlantic.net">Carl Nygard</a>,
2729    configure with --with-buffers to enable them.</li>
2730  <li>attribute normalization, oops should have been added long ago !</li>

2738</ul><h3>1.7.3: Sep 29 1999</h3><ul>
2739  <li>portability problems fixed</li>
2740  <li>snprintf was used unconditionally, leading to link problems on system
2741    were it's not available, fixed</li>
2742</ul><h3>1.7.1: Sep 24 1999</h3><ul>
2743  <li>The basic type for strings manipulated by libxml has been renamed in
2744    1.7.1 from <strong>CHAR</strong> to <strong>xmlChar</strong>. The reason
2745    is that CHAR was conflicting with a predefined type on Windows. However
2746    on non WIN32 environment, compatibility is provided by the way of  a
2747    <strong>#define </strong>.</li>
2748  <li>Changed another error : the use of a structure field called errno, and
2749    leading to troubles on platforms where it's a macro</li>
2750</ul><h3>1.7.0: Sep 23 1999</h3><ul>
2751  <li>Added the ability to fetch remote DTD or parsed entities, see the <a href="html/libxml-nanohttp.html">nanohttp</a> module.</li>
2752  <li>Added an errno to report errors by another mean than a simple printf
2753    like callback</li>
2754  <li>Finished ID/IDREF support and checking when validation</li>
2755  <li>Serious memory leaks fixed (there is now a <a href="html/libxml-xmlmemory.html">memory wrapper</a> module)</li>
2756  <li>Improvement of <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath">XPath</a>
2757    implementation</li>
2758  <li>Added an HTML parser front-end</li>
