|
- 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
|
|
- 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()
|
|
- 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
|

|
|

|
|
- 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
|
|
|
|
|
|

- fixed a hideous bug in xmlGetProp pointed by Rune.Djurhuus@fast.no
|
|
- Jody Goldberg <jgoldberg@home.com> provided another patch trying
|
|
to solve the zlib checks problems

|
- The current state in gnome CVS base is expected to ship as 1.8.5 with
|
|
gnumeric soon
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|

|
|
xmlLoadExternalEntity(), some fix on entities processing were added
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
1.8.2: Dec 21 1999:
|
|
- I got another problem with includes and C++, I hope this issue is fixed
|
|
for good this time
|
|
- Added a few tree modification functions: xmlReplaceNode,
|
|
xmlAddPrevSibling, xmlAddNextSibling, xmlNodeSetName and
|
|
xmlDocSetRootElement
|
|
- Tried to improve the HTML output with help from Chris Lahey
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
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
