| XML_GetAttributeInfo() that allows retrieving the byte |
| offsets for attribute names and values (patch #3446384). |
| Added CMake build system. |
| See bug #2990652 and patch #3312568. |
| Added run-benchmark target to Makefile.in - relies on testdata module |
| present in the same relative location as in the repository. |
| |
| Release 2.0.1 Tue June 5 2007 |
| - Fixed bugs #1515266, #1515600: The character data handler's calling |
| of XML_StopParser() was not handled properly; if the parser was |
| stopped and the handler set to NULL, the parser would segfault. |
| - Fixed bug #1690883: Expat failed on EBCDIC systems as it assumed |
| some character constants to be ASCII encoded. |
| - Minor cleanups of the test harness. |
| - Fixed xmlwf bug #1513566: "out of memory" error on file size zero. |
| - Fixed outline.c bug #1543233: missing a final XML_ParserFree() call. |
| - Fixes and improvements for Windows platform: |
| bugs #1409451, #1476160, #1548182, #1602769, #1717322. |
| - Build fixes for various platforms: |

| All Unix: #1554618 (refreshed config.sub/config.guess). |
| #1490371, #1613457: support both, DESTDIR and INSTALL_ROOT, |
| without relying on GNU-Make specific features. |
| #1647805: Patched configure.in to work better with Intel compiler. |
| - Fixes to Makefile.in to have make check work correctly: |
| bugs #1408143, #1535603, #1536684. |
| - Added Open Watcom support: patch #1523242. |
| |
| Release 2.0.0 Wed Jan 11 2006 |
| - We no longer use the "check" library for C unit testing; we |
| always use the (partial) internal implementation of the API. |
| - Report XML_NS setting via XML_GetFeatureList(). |
| - Fixed headers for use from C++. |
| - XML_GetCurrentLineNumber() and XML_GetCurrentColumnNumber() |
| now return unsigned integers. |
| - Added XML_LARGE_SIZE switch to enable 64-bit integers for |
| byte indexes and line/column numbers. |
| - Updated to use libtool 1.5.22 (the most recent). |
| - Added support for AmigaOS. |
| - Some mostly minor bug fixes. SF issues include: #1006708, |
| #1021776, #1023646, #1114960, #1156398, #1221160, #1271642. |
| |
| Release 1.95.8 Fri Jul 23 2004 |
| - Major new feature: suspend/resume. Handlers can now request |
| that a parse be suspended for later resumption or aborted |
| altogether. See "Temporarily Stopping Parsing" in the |
| documentation for more details. |
| - Some mostly minor bug fixes, but compilation should no |
| longer generate warnings on most platforms. SF issues |
| include: #827319, #840173, #846309, #888329, #896188, #923913, |
| #928113, #961698, #985192. |
| |
| Release 1.95.7 Mon Oct 20 2003 |
| - Fixed enum XML_Status issue (reported on SourceForge many |
| times), so compilers that are properly picky will be happy. |
| - Introduced an XMLCALL macro to control the calling |
| convention used by the Expat API; this macro should be used |
| to annotate prototypes and definitions of callback |
| implementations in code compiled with a calling convention |
| other than the default convention for the host platform. |
| - Improved ability to build without the configure-generated |
| expat_config.h header. This is useful for applications |
| which embed Expat rather than linking in the library. |
| - Fixed a variety of bugs: see SF issues #458907, #609603, |
| #676844, #679754, #692878, #692964, #695401, #699323, #699487, |
| #820946. |
| - Improved hash table lookups. |
| - Added more regression tests and improved documentation. |
| |
| Release 1.95.6 Tue Jan 28 2003 |
| - Added XML_FreeContentModel(). |
| - Added XML_MemMalloc(), XML_MemRealloc(), XML_MemFree(). |
| - Fixed a variety of bugs: see SF issues #615606, #616863, |
| #618199, #653180, #673791. |
| - Enhanced the regression test suite. |
| - Man page improvements: includes SF issue #632146. |
| |
| Release 1.95.5 Fri Sep 6 2002 |
| - Added XML_UseForeignDTD() for improved SAX2 support. |
| - Added XML_GetFeatureList(). |
| - Defined XML_Bool type and the values XML_TRUE and XML_FALSE. |
| - Use an incomplete struct instead of a void* for the parser |
| (may not retain). |
| - Fixed UTF-8 decoding bug that caused legal UTF-8 to be rejected. |
| - Finally fixed bug where default handler would report DTD |
| events that were already handled by another handler. |
| Initial patch contributed by Darryl Miles. |
| - Removed unnecessary DllMain() function that caused static |
| linking into a DLL to be difficult. |
| - Added VC++ projects for building static libraries. |
| - Reduced line-length for all source code and headers to be |
| no longer than 80 characters, to help with AS/400 support. |
| - Reduced memory copying during parsing (SF patch #600964). |
| - Fixed a variety of bugs: see SF issues #580793, #434664, |
| #483514, #580503, #581069, #584041, #584183, #584832, #585537, |
| #596555, #596678, #598352, #598944, #599715, #600479, #600971. |

| vms/README.vms for more information. |
| - Added Mac OS (classic) support, with a makefile for MPW, |
| contributed by Thomas Wegner and Daryle Walker. |
| - Added Borland C++ Builder 5 / BCC 5.5 support, contributed |
| by Patrick McConnell (SF patch #538032). |
| - Fixed a variety of bugs: see SF issues #441449, #563184, |
| #564342, #566334, #566901, #569461, #570263, #575168, #579196. |
| - Made skippedEntityHandler conform to SAX2 (see source comment) |
| - Re-implemented WFC: Entity Declared from XML 1.0 spec and |
| added a new error "entity declared in parameter entity": |
| see SF bug report #569461 and SF patch #578161 |
| - Re-implemented section 5.1 from XML 1.0 spec: |
| see SF bug report #570263 and SF patch #578161 |
| |
| Release 1.95.3 Mon Jun 3 2002 |
| - Added a project to the MSVC workspace to create a wchar_t |
| version of the library; the DLLs are named libexpatw.dll. |
| - Changed the name of the Windows DLLs from expat.dll to |
| libexpat.dll; this fixes SF bug #432456. |
| - Added the XML_ParserReset() API function. |
| - Fixed XML_SetReturnNSTriplet() to work for element names. |
| - Made the XML_UNICODE builds usable (thanks, Karl!). |

| - Fixed many bugs; see SF bug reports #231864, #461380, #464837, |
| #466885, #469226, #477667, #484419, #487840, #494749, #496505, |
| #547350. Other bugs which we can't test as easily may also |
| have been fixed, especially in the area of build support. |
| |
| Release 1.95.2 Fri Jul 27 2001 |
| - More changes to make MSVC happy with the build; add a single |
| workspace to support both the library and xmlwf application. |
| - Added a Windows installer for Windows users; includes |
| xmlwf.exe. |
| - Added compile-time constants that can be used to determine the |
| Expat version |
| - Removed a lot of GNU-specific dependencies to aide portability |
| among the various Unix flavors. |

| - Removed all aborts and instead return an UNEXPECTED_STATE error. |
| - Fixed a bug where a stray '%' in an entity value would cause an |
| abort. |
| - Defined XML_SetEndNamespaceDeclHandler. Thanks to Darryl Miles for |
| finding this oversight. |
| - Changed default patterns in lib/Makefile.in to fit non-GNU makes |
| Thanks to robin@unrated.net for reporting and providing an |
| account to test on. |
| - The reference had the wrong label for XML_SetStartNamespaceDecl. |
| Reported by an anonymous user. |
| |
| Release 1.95.0 Fri Sep 29 2000 |
| - XML_ParserCreate_MM |
| Allows you to set a memory management suite to replace the |
| standard malloc,realloc, and free. |
| - XML_SetReturnNSTriplet |
| If you turn this feature on when namespace processing is in |
| effect, then qualified, prefixed element and attribute names |
| are returned as "uri|name|prefix" where '|' is whatever |
| separator character is used in namespace processing. |
| - Merged in features from perl-expat |
| o XML_SetElementDeclHandler |
| o XML_SetAttlistDeclHandler |
| o XML_SetXmlDeclHandler |
| o XML_SetEntityDeclHandler |
| o StartDoctypeDeclHandler takes 3 additional parameters: |
| sysid, pubid, has_internal_subset |
| o Many paired handler setters (like XML_SetElementHandler) |
| now have corresponding individual handler setters |
| o XML_GetInputContext for getting the input context of |
| the current parse position. |
| - Added reference material |
| - Packaged into a distribution that builds a sharable library |
