1 Release 2.0.1 Tue June 5 2007
2 - Fixed bugs #1515266, #1515600: The character data handler's calling
3 of XML_StopParser() was not handled properly; if the parser was
4 stopped and the handler set to NULL, the parser would segfault.
5 - Fixed bug #1690883: Expat failed on EBCDIC systems as it assumed
6 some character constants to be ASCII encoded.
7 - Minor cleanups of the test harness.
8 - Fixed xmlwf bug #1513566: "out of memory" error on file size zero.
9 - Fixed outline.c bug #1543233: missing a final XML_ParserFree() call.
10 - Fixes and improvements for Windows platform:
11 bugs #1409451, #1476160, #1548182, #1602769, #1717322.
12 - Build fixes for various platforms:
13 HP-UX, Tru64, Solaris 9: patch #1437840, bug #1196180.
14 All Unix: #1554618 (refreshed config.sub/config.guess).
15 #1490371, #1613457: support both, DESTDIR and INSTALL_ROOT,
16 without relying on GNU-Make specific features.
17 #1647805: Patched configure.in to work better with Intel compiler.
18 - Fixes to Makefile.in to have make check work correctly:
19 bugs #1408143, #1535603, #1536684.
20 - Added Open Watcom support: patch #1523242.
22 Release 2.0.0 Wed Jan 11 2006
23 - We no longer use the "check" library for C unit testing; we
24 always use the (partial) internal implementation of the API.
25 - Report XML_NS setting via XML_GetFeatureList().
26 - Fixed headers for use from C++.
27 - XML_GetCurrentLineNumber() and XML_GetCurrentColumnNumber()
28 now return unsigned integers.
29 - Added XML_LARGE_SIZE switch to enable 64-bit integers for
30 byte indexes and line/column numbers.
31 - Updated to use libtool 1.5.22 (the most recent).
32 - Added support for AmigaOS.
33 - Some mostly minor bug fixes. SF issues include: #1006708,
34 #1021776, #1023646, #1114960, #1156398, #1221160, #1271642.
36 Release 1.95.8 Fri Jul 23 2004
37 - Major new feature: suspend/resume. Handlers can now request
38 that a parse be suspended for later resumption or aborted
39 altogether. See "Temporarily Stopping Parsing" in the
40 documentation for more details.
41 - Some mostly minor bug fixes, but compilation should no
42 longer generate warnings on most platforms. SF issues
43 include: #827319, #840173, #846309, #888329, #896188, #923913,
44 #928113, #961698, #985192.
46 Release 1.95.7 Mon Oct 20 2003
47 - Fixed enum XML_Status issue (reported on SourceForge many
48 times), so compilers that are properly picky will be happy.
49 - Introduced an XMLCALL macro to control the calling
50 convention used by the Expat API; this macro should be used
51 to annotate prototypes and definitions of callback
52 implementations in code compiled with a calling convention
53 other than the default convention for the host platform.
54 - Improved ability to build without the configure-generated
55 expat_config.h header. This is useful for applications
56 which embed Expat rather than linking in the library.
57 - Fixed a variety of bugs: see SF issues #458907, #609603,
58 #676844, #679754, #692878, #692964, #695401, #699323, #699487,
60 - Improved hash table lookups.
61 - Added more regression tests and improved documentation.
63 Release 1.95.6 Tue Jan 28 2003
64 - Added XML_FreeContentModel().
65 - Added XML_MemMalloc(), XML_MemRealloc(), XML_MemFree().
66 - Fixed a variety of bugs: see SF issues #615606, #616863,
67 #618199, #653180, #673791.
68 - Enhanced the regression test suite.
69 - Man page improvements: includes SF issue #632146.
71 Release 1.95.5 Fri Sep 6 2002
72 - Added XML_UseForeignDTD() for improved SAX2 support.
73 - Added XML_GetFeatureList().
74 - Defined XML_Bool type and the values XML_TRUE and XML_FALSE.
75 - Use an incomplete struct instead of a void* for the parser
77 - Fixed UTF-8 decoding bug that caused legal UTF-8 to be rejected.
78 - Finally fixed bug where default handler would report DTD
79 events that were already handled by another handler.
80 Initial patch contributed by Darryl Miles.
81 - Removed unnecessary DllMain() function that caused static
82 linking into a DLL to be difficult.
83 - Added VC++ projects for building static libraries.
84 - Reduced line-length for all source code and headers to be
85 no longer than 80 characters, to help with AS/400 support.
86 - Reduced memory copying during parsing (SF patch #600964).
87 - Fixed a variety of bugs: see SF issues #580793, #434664,
88 #483514, #580503, #581069, #584041, #584183, #584832, #585537,

97 by Patrick McConnell (SF patch #538032).
98 - Fixed a variety of bugs: see SF issues #441449, #563184,
99 #564342, #566334, #566901, #569461, #570263, #575168, #579196.
100 - Made skippedEntityHandler conform to SAX2 (see source comment)
101 - Re-implemented WFC: Entity Declared from XML 1.0 spec and

109 version of the library; the DLLs are named libexpatw.dll.

119 #547350. Other bugs which we can't test as easily may also
120 have been fixed, especially in the area of build support.
122 Release 1.95.2 Fri Jul 27 2001
123 - More changes to make MSVC happy with the build; add a single
124 workspace to support both the library and xmlwf application.
125 - Added a Windows installer for Windows users; includes
127 - Added compile-time constants that can be used to determine the

148 Release 1.95.0 Fri Sep 29 2000
149 - XML_ParserCreate_MM
150 Allows you to set a memory management suite to replace the
151 standard malloc,realloc, and free.
152 - XML_SetReturnNSTriplet
153 If you turn this feature on when namespace processing is in
154 effect, then qualified, prefixed element and attribute names
155 are returned as "uri|name|prefix" where '|' is whatever
156 separator character is used in namespace processing.
157 - Merged in features from perl-expat
158 o XML_SetElementDeclHandler
159 o XML_SetAttlistDeclHandler
