1 Release 2.0 TBD
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 - Added XML_LARGE_SIZE switch to enable 64bit values for
7 byte indexes and line/column numbers.
8 - Updated to use libtool 1.5.10 (the most recent).
9 - Added support for AmigaOS.
10 - Some mostly minor bug fixes. SF issues include: 1006708,
11 1021776, 1023646, 1114960, 1156398, 1221160, 1271642.
13 Release 1.95.8 Fri Jul 23 2004
14 - Major new feature: suspend/resume. Handlers can now request
15 that a parse be suspended for later resumption or aborted
16 altogether. See "Temporarily Stopping Parsing" in the
17 documentation for more details.
18 - Some mostly minor bug fixes, but compilation should no
19 longer generate warnings on most platforms. SF issues
20 include: 827319, 840173, 846309, 888329, 896188, 923913,
21 928113, 961698, 985192.
23 Release 1.95.7 Mon Oct 20 2003
24 - Fixed enum XML_Status issue (reported on SourceForge many
25 times), so compilers that are properly picky will be happy.
26 - Introduced an XMLCALL macro to control the calling
27 convention used by the Expat API; this macro should be used
28 to annotate prototypes and definitions of callback
29 implementations in code compiled with a calling convention
30 other than the default convention for the host platform.
31 - Improved ability to build without the configure-generated
32 expat_config.h header. This is useful for applications
33 which embed Expat rather than linking in the library.
34 - Fixed a variety of bugs: see SF issues 458907, 609603,
35 676844, 679754, 692878, 692964, 695401, 699323, 699487,
36 820946.
37 - Improved hash table lookups.
38 - Added more regression tests and improved documentation.
40 Release 1.95.6 Tue Jan 28 2003
41 - Added XML_FreeContentModel().
42 - Added XML_MemMalloc(), XML_MemRealloc(), XML_MemFree().
43 - Fixed a variety of bugs: see SF issues 615606, 616863,
44 618199, 653180, 673791.
45 - Enhanced the regression test suite.
46 - Man page improvements: includes SF issue 632146.
48 Release 1.95.5 Fri Sep 6 2002
49 - Added XML_UseForeignDTD() for improved SAX2 support.
50 - Added XML_GetFeatureList().
51 - Defined XML_Bool type and the values XML_TRUE and XML_FALSE.
52 - Use an incomplete struct instead of a void* for the parser
53 (may not retain).
54 - Fixed UTF-8 decoding bug that caused legal UTF-8 to be rejected.
55 - Finally fixed bug where default handler would report DTD
56 events that were already handled by another handler.
57 Initial patch contributed by Darryl Miles.
58 - Removed unnecessary DllMain() function that caused static
59 linking into a DLL to be difficult.
60 - Added VC++ projects for building static libraries.
61 - Reduced line-length for all source code and headers to be
62 no longer than 80 characters, to help with AS/400 support.
63 - Reduced memory copying during parsing (SF patch #600964).
64 - Fixed a variety of bugs: see SF issues 580793, 434664,
65 483514, 580503, 581069, 584041, 584183, 584832, 585537,
66 596555, 596678, 598352, 598944, 599715, 600479, 600971.
68 Release 1.95.4 Fri Jul 12 2002
69 - Added support for VMS, contributed by Craig Berry. See
70 vms/README.vms for more information.
71 - Added Mac OS (classic) support, with a makefile for MPW,
72 contributed by Thomas Wegner and Daryle Walker.
73 - Added Borland C++ Builder 5 / BCC 5.5 support, contributed
74 by Patrick McConnell (SF patch #538032).
75 - Fixed a variety of bugs: see SF issues 441449, 563184,
76 564342, 566334, 566901, 569461, 570263, 575168, 579196.
77 - Made skippedEntityHandler conform to SAX2 (see source comment)
78 - Re-implemented WFC: Entity Declared from XML 1.0 spec and
79 added a new error "entity declared in parameter entity":
80 see SF bug report 569461 and SF patch 578161
81 - Re-implemented section 5.1 from XML 1.0 spec:
82 see SF bug report 570263 and SF patch 578161
84 Release 1.95.3 Mon Jun 3 2002
85 - Added a project to the MSVC workspace to create a wchar_t
86 version of the library; the DLLs are named libexpatw.dll.
87 - Changed the name of the Windows DLLs from expat.dll to
88 libexpat.dll; this fixes SF bug #432456.
89 - Added the XML_ParserReset() API function.
90 - Fixed XML_SetReturnNSTriplet() to work for element names.
91 - Made the XML_UNICODE builds usable (thanks, Karl!).

93 - Install a man page for xmlwf on Unix systems.
94 - Fixed many bugs; see SF bug reports 231864, 461380, 464837,
95 466885, 469226, 477667, 484419, 487840, 494749, 496505,
96 547350. Other bugs which we can't test as easily may also
97 have been fixed, especially in the area of build support.
99 Release 1.95.2 Fri Jul 27 2001
100 - More changes to make MSVC happy with the build; add a single
101 workspace to support both the library and xmlwf application.
102 - Added a Windows installer for Windows users; includes
103 xmlwf.exe.
104 - Added compile-time constants that can be used to determine the

114 - Removed all aborts and instead return an UNEXPECTED_STATE error.
115 - Fixed a bug where a stray '%' in an entity value would cause an
116 abort.

118 finding this oversight.

120 Thanks to robin@unrated.net for reporting and providing an
121 account to test on.
122 - The reference had the wrong label for XML_SetStartNamespaceDecl.
123 Reported by an anonymous user.
125 Release 1.95.0 Fri Sep 29 2000
126 - XML_ParserCreate_MM
127 Allows you to set a memory management suite to replace the
128 standard malloc,realloc, and free.
129 - XML_SetReturnNSTriplet
130 If you turn this feature on when namespace processing is in
131 effect, then qualified, prefixed element and attribute names
132 are returned as "uri|name|prefix" where '|' is whatever
133 separator character is used in namespace processing.
134 - Merged in features from perl-expat
135 o XML_SetElementDeclHandler
136 o XML_SetAttlistDeclHandler
137 o XML_SetXmlDeclHandler
138 o XML_SetEntityDeclHandler
139 o StartDoctypeDeclHandler takes 3 additional parameters:
140 sysid, pubid, has_internal_subset
141 o Many paired handler setters (like XML_SetElementHandler)
142 now have corresponding individual handler setters
143 o XML_GetInputContext for getting the input context of
144 the current parse position.
145 - Added reference material
146 - Packaged into a distribution that builds a sharable library
