< / ul >
< h3 > 2.0.0: Apr 12 2000< / h3 >
< ul >
< li > First public release of libxml2. If you are using libxml, it's a good
idea to check the 1.x to 2.x upgrade instructions. NOTE: while initally
scheduled for Apr 3 the relase occured only on Apr 12 due to massive
workload.< / li >
< li > The include are now located under $prefix/include/libxml (instead of
$prefix/include/gnome-xml), they also are referenced by
< pre > #include < libxml/xxx.h> < / pre >
< p > instead of< / p >
< pre > #include " xxx.h" < / pre >
< / li >
< li > a new URI module for parsing URIs and following strictly RFC 2396< / li >
< li > the memory allocation routines used by libxml can now be overloaded
dynamically by using xmlMemSetup()< / li >
< li > The previously CVS only tool tester has been renamed
< strong > xmllint< / strong > and is now installed as part of the libxml2
package< / li >
< li > The I/O interface has been revamped. There is now ways to plug in
specific I/O modules, either at the URI scheme detection level using
xmlRegisterInputCallbacks() or by passing I/O functions when creating a
parser context using xmlCreateIOParserCtxt()< / li >
< li > there is a C preprocessor macro LIBXML_VERSION providing the version
number of the libxml module in use< / li >
< li > a number of optional features of libxml can now be excluded at
configure time (FTP/HTTP/HTML/XPath/Debug)< / li >
< / ul >
< h3 > 2.0.0beta: Mar 14 2000< / h3 >
< ul >
< li > This is a first Beta release of libxml version 2< / li >
< li > It's available only from< a href = "ftp://xmlsoft.org/" > xmlsoft.org
FTP< / a > , it's packaged as libxml2-2.0.0beta and available as tar and
RPMs< / li >
< li > This version is now the head in the Gnome CVS base, the old one is
available under the tag LIB_XML_1_X< / li >
< li > This includes a very large set of changes. Froma programmatic point of
view applications should not have to be modified too much, check the < a href = "upgrade.html" > upgrade page< / a >
< / li >
< li > Some interfaces may changes (especially a bit about encoding).< / li >
< li > the updates includes:
< ul >
< li > fix I18N support. ISO-Latin-x/UTF-8/UTF-16 (nearly) seems correctly
handled now< / li >
< li > Better handling of entities, especially well formedness checking
and proper PEref extensions in external subsets< / li >
< li > DTD conditional sections< / li >
< li > Validation now correcly handle entities content< / li >
< li > < a href = "http://rpmfind.net/tools/gdome/messages/0039.html" > change
structures to accomodate DOM< / a > < / li >
< / ul >
< / li >
< li > Serious progress were made toward compliance, < a href = "conf/result.html" > here are the result of the test< / a > against the
OASIS testsuite (except the japanese tests since I don't support that
encoding yet). This URL is rebuilt every couple of hours using the CVS
head version.< / li >
< / ul >
< h3 > 1.8.7: Mar 6 2000< / h3 >
< ul >
< li > This is a bug fix release:< / li >
< li > It is possible to disable the ignorable blanks heuristic used by
libxml-1.x, a new function xmlKeepBlanksDefault(0) will allow this. Note
that for adherence to XML spec, this behaviour will be disabled by
default in 2.x . The same function will allow to keep compatibility for
old code.< / li >
< li > Blanks in < a> < /a> constructs are not ignored anymore,
avoiding heuristic is really the Right Way :-\< / li >
< li > The unchecked use of snprintf which was breaking libxml-1.8.6
compilation on some platforms has been fixed< / li >
< li > nanoftp.c nanohttp.c: Fixed '#' and '?' stripping when processing
URIs< / li >
< / ul >
< h3 > 1.8.6: Jan 31 2000< / h3 >
< ul > < 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
it without troubles< / li > < / ul >

< ul >
< li > various patches to avoid troubles when using libxml with C++ compilers
the " namespace" keyword and C escaping in include files< / li >
< li > a problem in one of the core macros IS_CHAR was corrected< / li >

configure with --with-buffers to enable them.< / li >
< li > attribute normalization, oops should have been added long ago !< / li >

< ul >
< li > The basic type for strings manipulated by libxml has been renamed in
1.7.1 from < strong > CHAR< / strong > to < strong > xmlChar< / strong > . The reason
is that CHAR was conflicting with a predefined type on Windows. However
on non WIN32 environment, compatibility is provided by the way of a
< strong > #define < / strong > .< / li >
< li > Changed another error : the use of a structure field called errno, and
