Well, for accurate NEWS on libxml2 look at the following resources:
- the ChangeLog, very detailed, quickly boring unless you're really
looking for something specific
- the on-line News at http://xmlsoft.org/news.html which are more
general and intended to a less techmical audience

related problems
- output to a given encoding has been added/tested
- lot of various fixes
2.0.0: Apr 12 2000:
- 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 initially
scheduled for Apr 3 the release occurred only on Apr 12 due to massive
workload.
- The include are now located under $prefix/include/libxml (instead of
$prefix/include/gnome-xml), they also are referenced by
#include <libxml/xxx.h>
instead of
#include "xxx.h"
- a new URI module for parsing URIs and following strictly RFC 2396
- the memory allocation routines used by libxml can now be overloaded
dynamically by using xmlMemSetup()
- The previously CVS only tool tester has been renamed
xmllint and is now installed as part of the libxml2
package

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()
- there is a C preprocessor macro LIBXML_VERSION providing the version
number of the libxml module in use
- a number of optional features of libxml can now be excluded at
configure time (FTP/HTTP/HTML/XPath/Debug)
2.0.0beta: Mar 14 2000:
- This is a first Beta release of libxml version 2
- It's available only fromxmlsoft.org
FTP, it's packaged as libxml2-2.0.0beta and available as tar and
RPMs
- This version is now the head in the Gnome CVS base, the old one is
available under the tag LIB_XML_1_X
- This includes a very large set of changes. From a programmatic point
of view applications should not have to be modified too much, check the
upgrade page
- Some interfaces may changes (especially a bit about encoding).
- the updates includes:
fix I18N support. ISO-Latin-x/UTF-8/UTF-16 (nearly) seems correctly
handled now
Better handling of entities, especially well-formedness checking
and proper PEref extensions in external subsets
DTD conditional sections
Validation now correctly handle entities content
change
structures to accommodate DOM
- fix I18N support. ISO-Latin-x/UTF-8/UTF-16 (nearly) seems correctly
handled now
- Better handling of entities, especially well-formedness checking
and proper PEref extensions in external subsets
- DTD conditional sections
- Validation now correctly handle entities content
- change
structures to accommodate DOM
- Serious progress were made toward compliance, here are the result of the test 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.
1.8.7: Mar 6 2000:
- This is a bug fix release:
- 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.
- Blanks in <a> </a> constructs are not ignored anymore,
avoiding heuristic is really the Right Way :-\
- The unchecked use of snprintf which was breaking libxml-1.8.6
compilation on some platforms has been fixed
- nanoftp.c nanohttp.c: Fixed '#' and '?' stripping when processing
URIs

it without troubles

1.8.1: Dec 18 1999:
- various patches to avoid troubles when using libxml with C++ compilers
the "namespace" keyword and C escaping in include files
- a problem in one of the core macros IS_CHAR was corrected
- fixed a bug introduced in 1.8.0 breaking default namespace processing,
and more specifically the Dia application
- fixed a posteriori validation (validation after parsing, or by using a
Dtd not specified in the original document)
- fixed a bug in
1.8.0: Dec 12 1999:
- cleanup, especially memory wise
- the parser should be more reliable, especially the HTML one, it should
not crash, whatever the input !
- Integrated various patches, especially a speedup improvement for large
dataset from Carl Nygard,
configure with --with-buffers to enable them.
- attribute normalization, oops should have been added long ago !
- attributes defaulted from DTDs should be available, xmlSetProp() now
does entities escaping by default.
1.7.4: Oct 25 1999:
- Lots of HTML improvement
- Fixed some errors when saving both XML and HTML
- More examples, the regression tests should now look clean
- Fixed a bug with contiguous charref
1.7.3: Sep 29 1999:
- portability problems fixed
- snprintf was used unconditionally, leading to link problems on system
were it's not available, fixed
1.7.1: Sep 24 1999:
- The basic type for strings manipulated by libxml has been renamed in
1.7.1 from CHAR to xmlChar. 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
#define .
- Changed another error : the use of a structure field called errno, and
leading to troubles on platforms where it's a macro
1.7.0: Sep 23 1999:
- Added the ability to fetch remote DTD or parsed entities, see the nanohttp module.
- Added an errno to report errors by another mean than a simple printf
like callback
- Finished ID/IDREF support and checking when validation
- Serious memory leaks fixed (there is now a memory wrapper module)
- Improvement of XPath
implementation
- Added an HTML parser front-end
