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

57 - Added support for VMS, contributed by Craig Berry. See
58 vms/README.vms for more information.
59 - Added Mac OS (classic) support, with a makefile for MPW,
60 contributed by Thomas Wegner and Daryle Walker.
61 - Added Borland C++ Builder 5 / BCC 5.5 support, contributed
62 by Patrick McConnell (SF patch #538032).
63 - Fixed a variety of bugs: see SF issues 441449, 563184,
64 564342, 566334, 566901, 569461, 570263, 575168, 579196.
65 - Made skippedEntityHandler conform to SAX2 (see source comment)
66 - Re-implemented WFC: Entity Declared from XML 1.0 spec and
67 added a new error "entity declared in parameter entity":
68 see SF bug report 569461 and SF patch 578161
69 - Re-implemented section 5.1 from XML 1.0 spec:
70 see SF bug report 570263 and SF patch 578161
72 Release 1.95.3 Mon Jun 3 2002
73 - Added a project to the MSVC workspace to create a wchar_t
74 version of the library; the DLLs are named libexpatw.dll.
75 - Changed the name of the Windows DLLs from expat.dll to
76 libexpat.dll; this fixes SF bug #432456.
77 - Added the XML_ParserReset() API function.

84 547350. Other bugs which we can't test as easily may also
85 have been fixed, especially in the area of build support.
87 Release 1.95.2 Fri Jul 27 2001
88 - More changes to make MSVC happy with the build; add a single
89 workspace to support both the library and xmlwf application.
90 - Added a Windows installer for Windows users; includes
92 - Added compile-time constants that can be used to determine the
94 - Removed a lot of GNU-specific dependencies to aide portability
95 among the various Unix flavors.

113 Release 1.95.0 Fri Sep 29 2000
114 - XML_ParserCreate_MM
115 Allows you to set a memory management suite to replace the
116 standard malloc,realloc, and free.
117 - XML_SetReturnNSTriplet
118 If you turn this feature on when namespace processing is in
119 effect, then qualified, prefixed element and attribute names
120 are returned as "uri|name|prefix" where '|' is whatever
121 separator character is used in namespace processing.
122 - Merged in features from perl-expat
123 o XML_SetElementDeclHandler
124 o XML_SetAttlistDeclHandler
125 o XML_SetXmlDeclHandler
