1 Release 2.0.0 Wed Jan 11 2006
2 - We no longer use the "check" library for C unit testing; we
3 always use the (partial) internal implementation of the API.
4 - Report XML_NS setting via XML_GetFeatureList().
5 - Fixed headers for use from C++.
6 - XML_GetCurrentLineNumber() and XML_GetCurrentColumnNumber()
7 now return unsigned integers.
8 - Added XML_LARGE_SIZE switch to enable 64-bit integers for
9 byte indexes and line/column numbers.
10 - Updated to use libtool 1.5.22 (the most recent).
11 - Added support for AmigaOS.
12 - Some mostly minor bug fixes. SF issues include: 1006708,
13 1021776, 1023646, 1114960, 1156398, 1221160, 1271642.
15 Release 1.95.8 Fri Jul 23 2004
16 - Major new feature: suspend/resume. Handlers can now request
17 that a parse be suspended for later resumption or aborted
18 altogether. See "Temporarily Stopping Parsing" in the
19 documentation for more details.
20 - Some mostly minor bug fixes, but compilation should no
21 longer generate warnings on most platforms. SF issues
22 include: 827319, 840173, 846309, 888329, 896188, 923913,
23 928113, 961698, 985192.
25 Release 1.95.7 Mon Oct 20 2003
26 - Fixed enum XML_Status issue (reported on SourceForge many
27 times), so compilers that are properly picky will be happy.
28 - Introduced an XMLCALL macro to control the calling
29 convention used by the Expat API; this macro should be used
30 to annotate prototypes and definitions of callback
31 implementations in code compiled with a calling convention
32 other than the default convention for the host platform.
33 - Improved ability to build without the configure-generated
34 expat_config.h header. This is useful for applications
35 which embed Expat rather than linking in the library.
36 - Fixed a variety of bugs: see SF issues 458907, 609603,
37 676844, 679754, 692878, 692964, 695401, 699323, 699487,
39 - Improved hash table lookups.
40 - Added more regression tests and improved documentation.
42 Release 1.95.6 Tue Jan 28 2003
43 - Added XML_FreeContentModel().
44 - Added XML_MemMalloc(), XML_MemRealloc(), XML_MemFree().
45 - Fixed a variety of bugs: see SF issues 615606, 616863,
46 618199, 653180, 673791.
47 - Enhanced the regression test suite.
48 - Man page improvements: includes SF issue 632146.
50 Release 1.95.5 Fri Sep 6 2002
51 - Added XML_UseForeignDTD() for improved SAX2 support.
52 - Added XML_GetFeatureList().
53 - Defined XML_Bool type and the values XML_TRUE and XML_FALSE.
54 - Use an incomplete struct instead of a void* for the parser
56 - Fixed UTF-8 decoding bug that caused legal UTF-8 to be rejected.
57 - Finally fixed bug where default handler would report DTD
58 events that were already handled by another handler.
59 Initial patch contributed by Darryl Miles.
60 - Removed unnecessary DllMain() function that caused static
61 linking into a DLL to be difficult.
62 - Added VC++ projects for building static libraries.
63 - Reduced line-length for all source code and headers to be
64 no longer than 80 characters, to help with AS/400 support.
65 - Reduced memory copying during parsing (SF patch #600964).
66 - Fixed a variety of bugs: see SF issues 580793, 434664,
67 483514, 580503, 581069, 584041, 584183, 584832, 585537,
68 596555, 596678, 598352, 598944, 599715, 600479, 600971.

72 vms/README.vms for more information.
73 - Added Mac OS (classic) support, with a makefile for MPW,
74 contributed by Thomas Wegner and Daryle Walker.
75 - Added Borland C++ Builder 5 / BCC 5.5 support, contributed
76 by Patrick McConnell (SF patch #538032).
77 - Fixed a variety of bugs: see SF issues 441449, 563184,
78 564342, 566334, 566901, 569461, 570263, 575168, 579196.
79 - Made skippedEntityHandler conform to SAX2 (see source comment)
80 - Re-implemented WFC: Entity Declared from XML 1.0 spec and
81 added a new error "entity declared in parameter entity":
82 see SF bug report 569461 and SF patch 578161
83 - Re-implemented section 5.1 from XML 1.0 spec:
84 see SF bug report 570263 and SF patch 578161
86 Release 1.95.3 Mon Jun 3 2002
87 - Added a project to the MSVC workspace to create a wchar_t
88 version of the library; the DLLs are named libexpatw.dll.
89 - Changed the name of the Windows DLLs from expat.dll to
90 libexpat.dll; this fixes SF bug #432456.

98 547350. Other bugs which we can't test as easily may also
99 have been fixed, especially in the area of build support.
101 Release 1.95.2 Fri Jul 27 2001
102 - More changes to make MSVC happy with the build; add a single
103 workspace to support both the library and xmlwf application.
104 - Added a Windows installer for Windows users; includes
106 - Added compile-time constants that can be used to determine the
108 - Removed a lot of GNU-specific dependencies to aide portability
109 among the various Unix flavors.

119 - Defined XML_SetEndNamespaceDeclHandler. Thanks to Darryl Miles for
120 finding this oversight.

127 Release 1.95.0 Fri Sep 29 2000
128 - XML_ParserCreate_MM
129 Allows you to set a memory management suite to replace the
130 standard malloc,realloc, and free.
131 - XML_SetReturnNSTriplet
132 If you turn this feature on when namespace processing is in
133 effect, then qualified, prefixed element and attribute names
134 are returned as "uri|name|prefix" where '|' is whatever
135 separator character is used in namespace processing.
136 - Merged in features from perl-expat
137 o XML_SetElementDeclHandler
138 o XML_SetAttlistDeclHandler
139 o XML_SetXmlDeclHandler

141 o StartDoctypeDeclHandler takes 3 additional parameters:
142 sysid, pubid, has_internal_subset
143 o Many paired handler setters (like XML_SetElementHandler)
