v2.13.0: not released yet
### Major changes
Most of the core code should now report malloc failures reliably.
New API functions for error handling were added:
- xmlCtxtSetErrorHandler
- xmlXPathSetErrorHandler
- xmlXIncludeSetErrorHandler
This makes it possible to register per-context error handlers without
resorting to global handlers.
A few error messages were improved and consolidated. Please update
downstream test suites accordingly.
Support for HTTP POST was removed.
v2.12.0: Nov 16 2023
### Major changes
Most of the known issues leading to quadratic behavior in the XML parser
were fixed. Internal hash tables were rewritten to reduce memory
consumption.
Starting with this release, it should be enough to add the --with-legacy
configuration option to provide maximum ABI compatibility. For example,
if a code module was removed from the default configuration, the option
will add stubs for the removed symbols.
libxml2 will now store global variables in thread-local storage if supported
by the compiler. This avoids allocating the data lazily which can result in
a fatal error condition. A new API function xmlCheckThreadLocalStorage
was added so the allocation can be checked earlier if compiler TLS is not
supported. To prepare for future improvements, some API functions now expect
or return a const xmlError struct.
Several cyclic dependencies in public header files were fixed. As a result,
certain headers won't include other headers as before.
Refactoring of the encoding code has been mostly completed. Calling
xmlSwitchEncoding from client code is now fully supported, for example to
override the encoding for the push parser.
When parsing data from memory, libxml2 will now stream data chunk by chunk
instead of copying the whole buffer (possibly twice with encodings),
reducing peak memory consumption considerably.
A new API function xmlCtxtSetMaxAmplification was added to allow parsing
of files that would otherwise trigger the billion laughs protection.
Several bugs in the regex determinism checks were fixed. Invalid XML
Schemas which previous versions erroneously accepted will now be
rejected.

v2.11.0: Apr 28 2023
### Major changes
Protection against entity expansion attacks, also known as "billion laughs"
has been greatly improved. Malicious files should be detected reliably now
and false positives should be reduced. It is possible though that large
documents which make heavy use of entities are rejected now.
This release finally fixes symbol visibility on UNIX systems. Internal
symbols will now be hidden. While these symbols were never declared in public
headers, it was still possible to declare them manually. Now this won't work.
All symbol information has been removed from the ELF version script to fix
link errors with --no-undefined-version. The version nodes are kept so it
should still be possible to run binaries linked against older versions.
About 90 memory errors in code paths handling malloc failures have been fixed.
While these issues shouldn't impact security, this improves robustness under
memory pressure.
The XInclude engine has been reworked to properly support nested includes.
Several cases of quadratic behavior in the XML push parser have been fixed.
Refactoring has begun on some buffering and encoding code with the goal of
simplifying this part of the code base and improving error reporting.
Other highlights:
- Consolidated private header files.
- Major rework of the autoconf build.
- Deprecated several outdated and internal functions.

### Breaking changes
The Docbook parser module and all related symbols habe been removed completely.
This was experimental code which never worked and generated a deprecation
warning for 15+ years. The library's soname wasn't changed in order to allow
seamless upgrades to later versions. If this concerns you, consider bumping
soname yourself.
Some other modules are now disabled by default and will eventually be removed
completely:
- Support for XPointer locations (ranges and points): This was based on
a W3C specification which never got beyond Working Draft status. To my
knowledge, there's no software supporting this spec which is still
maintained. You now have to enable this code by passing the
`--with-xptr-locs` configuration option. Be warned that this part of
the code base is buggy and had many security issues in the past.
- Support for the built-in FTP client (`--with-ftp`).
- Support for "legacy" functions (`--with-legacy`).
If you're concerned about ABI stability and haven't disabled these modules
already, add the following configuration options or bump soname yourself:
--with-ftp
--with-legacy
--with-xptr-locs
Several functions of the public API were deprecated. Most of them should be
completely unused and will generate a deprecation warning now.
The autoconf build now uses the sysconfdir variable for the location of
the default catalog file. The path changed from hardcoded /etc/xml/catalog
to ${sysconfdir}/xml/catalog. The sysconfdir variable defaults to
${prefix}/etc, prefix defaults to /usr/local, so without other options
the path becomes /usr/local/etc/xml/catalog. If you want the old behavior,
configure with
--sysconfdir=/etc

2.6.0: Oct 20 2003:
- Major revision release: should be API and ABI compatible but got a lot
of change

a --with-minimum configuration will weight around 160KBytes
- Use per parser and per document dictionary, allocate names and small
text nodes from the dictionary
- Switch to a SAX2 like parser rewrote most of the XML parser core,
provides namespace resolution and defaulted attributes, minimize memory
allocations and copies, namespace checking and specific error handling,
immutable buffers, make predefined entities static structures, etc...
- rewrote all the error handling in the library, all errors can be
intercepted at a structured level, with precise information
available.
- New simpler and more generic XML and HTML parser APIs, allowing to
easily modify the parsing options and reuse parser context for multiple
consecutive documents.
- Similar new APIs for the xmlReader, for options and reuse, provided new
functions to access content as const strings, use them for Python
bindings

declarations
- added xml2-config --libtool-libs option from Kevin P. Fleming

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
1.8.6: Jan 31 2000:
- added a nanoFTP transport module, debugged until the new version of rpmfind can use
it without troubles
1.8.5: Jan 21 2000:
- adding APIs to parse a well balanced chunk of XML (production [43] content of the
XML spec)
- 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
1.8.4: Jan 13 2000:
- bug fixes, reintroduced xmlNewGlobalNs(), fixed xmlNewNs()
- all exit() call should have been removed from libxml
- fixed a problem with INCLUDE_WINSOCK on WIN32 platform
- added newDocFragment()
1.8.3: Jan 5 2000:
- a Push interface for the XML and HTML parsers
- a shell-like interface to the document tree (try tester --shell :-)
- lots of bug fixes and improvement added over XMas holidays
- fixed the DTD parsing code to work with the xhtml DTD
- added xmlRemoveProp(), xmlRemoveID() and xmlRemoveRef()
- Fixed bugs in xmlNewNs()
- External entity loading code has been revamped, now it uses
xmlLoadExternalEntity(), some fix on entities processing were added
- cleaned up WIN32 includes of socket stuff
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
- 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
