2223    </ul>
2224  </li>
2225</ul><h3>2.0.0: Apr 12 2000</h3><ul>
2226  <li>First public release of libxml2. If you are using libxml, it's a good
2227    idea to check the 1.x to 2.x upgrade instructions. NOTE: while initially
2228    scheduled for Apr 3 the release occurred only on Apr 12 due to massive
2229    workload.</li>
2230  <li>The include are now located under $prefix/include/libxml (instead of
2231    $prefix/include/gnome-xml), they also are referenced by
2232    <pre>#include &lt;libxml/xxx.h&gt;</pre>
2233    <p>instead of</p>
2234    <pre>#include "xxx.h"</pre>
2235  </li>
2236  <li>a new URI module for parsing URIs and following strictly RFC 2396</li>
2237  <li>the memory allocation routines used by libxml can now be overloaded
2238    dynamically by using xmlMemSetup()</li>
2239  <li>The previously CVS only tool tester has been renamed
2240    <strong>xmllint</strong> and is now installed as part of the libxml2
2241    package</li>
2242  <li>The I/O interface has been revamped. There is now ways to plug in
2243    specific I/O modules, either at the URI scheme detection level using
2244    xmlRegisterInputCallbacks()  or by passing I/O functions when creating a
2245    parser context using xmlCreateIOParserCtxt()</li>
2246  <li>there is a C preprocessor macro LIBXML_VERSION providing the version
2247    number of the libxml module in use</li>
2248  <li>a number of optional features of libxml can now be excluded at
2249    configure time (FTP/HTTP/HTML/XPath/Debug)</li>
2250</ul><h3>2.0.0beta: Mar 14 2000</h3><ul>
2251  <li>This is a first Beta release of libxml version 2</li>
2252  <li>It's available only from<a href="ftp://xmlsoft.org/libxml2/">xmlsoft.org
2253    FTP</a>, it's packaged as libxml2-2.0.0beta and available as tar and
2254  RPMs</li>
2255  <li>This version is now the head in the Gnome CVS base, the old one is
2256    available under the tag LIB_XML_1_X</li>
2257  <li>This includes a very large set of changes. From a  programmatic point
2258    of view applications should not have to be modified too much, check the
2259    <a href="upgrade.html">upgrade page</a></li>
2260  <li>Some interfaces may changes (especially a bit about encoding).</li>
2261  <li>the updates includes:
2262    <ul>
2263      <li>fix I18N support. ISO-Latin-x/UTF-8/UTF-16 (nearly) seems correctly
2264        handled now</li>
2265      <li>Better handling of entities, especially well-formedness checking
2266        and proper PEref extensions in external subsets</li>
2267      <li>DTD conditional sections</li>
2268      <li>Validation now correctly handle entities content</li>
2269      <li><a href="http://rpmfind.net/tools/gdome/messages/0039.html">change
2270        structures to accommodate DOM</a></li>
2271    </ul>
2272  </li>
2273  <li>Serious progress were made toward compliance, <a href="conf/result.html">here are the result of the test</a> against the
2274    OASIS testsuite (except the Japanese tests since I don't support that
2275    encoding yet). This URL is rebuilt every couple of hours using the CVS
2276    head version.</li>
2277</ul><h3>1.8.7: Mar 6 2000</h3><ul>
2278  <li>This is a bug fix release:</li>
2279  <li>It is possible to disable the ignorable blanks heuristic used by
2280    libxml-1.x, a new function  xmlKeepBlanksDefault(0) will allow this. Note
2281    that for adherence to XML spec, this behaviour will be disabled by
2282    default in 2.x . The same function will allow to keep compatibility for
2283    old code.</li>
2284  <li>Blanks in &lt;a&gt;  &lt;/a&gt; constructs are not ignored anymore,
2285    avoiding heuristic is really the Right Way :-\</li>
2286  <li>The unchecked use of snprintf which was breaking libxml-1.8.6
2287    compilation on some platforms has been fixed</li>

2294  <li>adding APIs to parse a well balanced chunk of XML (production <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml#NT-content">[43] content</a> of the
2295    XML spec)</li>
2296  <li>fixed a hideous bug in xmlGetProp pointed by Rune.Djurhuus@fast.no</li>
2297  <li>Jody Goldberg &lt;jgoldberg@home.com&gt; provided another patch trying
2298    to solve the zlib checks problems</li>

2316</ul><h3>1.8.2: Dec 21 1999</h3><ul>

2318    for good this time</li>
2319  <li>Added a few tree modification functions: xmlReplaceNode,
2320    xmlAddPrevSibling, xmlAddNextSibling, xmlNodeSetName and
2321    xmlDocSetRootElement</li>
2322  <li>Tried to improve the HTML output with help from <a href="mailto:clahey@umich.edu">Chris Lahey</a></li>
2323</ul><h3>1.8.1: Dec 18 1999</h3><ul>
2324  <li>various patches to avoid troubles when using libxml with C++ compilers
2325    the "namespace" keyword and C escaping in include files</li>
2326  <li>a problem in one of the core macros IS_CHAR was corrected</li>
2327  <li>fixed a bug introduced in 1.8.0 breaking default namespace processing,
2328    and more specifically the Dia application</li>
2329  <li>fixed a posteriori validation (validation after parsing, or by using a
2330    Dtd not specified in the original document)</li>
2331  <li>fixed a bug in</li>
2332</ul><h3>1.8.0: Dec 12 1999</h3><ul>
2333  <li>cleanup, especially memory wise</li>
2334  <li>the parser should be more reliable, especially the HTML one, it should
2335    not crash, whatever the input !</li>
2336  <li>Integrated various patches, especially a speedup improvement for large
2337    dataset from <a href="mailto:cnygard@bellatlantic.net">Carl Nygard</a>,
2338    configure with --with-buffers to enable them.</li>
2339  <li>attribute normalization, oops should have been added long ago !</li>
2340  <li>attributes defaulted from DTDs should be available, xmlSetProp() now
2341    does entities escaping by default.</li>
2342</ul><h3>1.7.4: Oct 25 1999</h3><ul>
2343  <li>Lots of HTML improvement</li>
2344  <li>Fixed some errors when saving both XML and HTML</li>
2345  <li>More examples, the regression tests should now look clean</li>
2346  <li>Fixed a bug with contiguous charref</li>
2347</ul><h3>1.7.3: Sep 29 1999</h3><ul>
2348  <li>portability problems fixed</li>
2349  <li>snprintf was used unconditionally, leading to link problems on system
2350    were it's not available, fixed</li>
2351</ul><h3>1.7.1: Sep 24 1999</h3><ul>
2352  <li>The basic type for strings manipulated by libxml has been renamed in
2353    1.7.1 from <strong>CHAR</strong> to <strong>xmlChar</strong>. The reason
2354    is that CHAR was conflicting with a predefined type on Windows. However
2355    on non WIN32 environment, compatibility is provided by the way of  a
2356    <strong>#define </strong>.</li>
2357  <li>Changed another error : the use of a structure field called errno, and
2358    leading to troubles on platforms where it's a macro</li>
2359</ul><h3>1.7.0: Sep 23 1999</h3><ul>
2360  <li>Added the ability to fetch remote DTD or parsed entities, see the <a href="html/libxml-nanohttp.html">nanohttp</a> module.</li>
2361  <li>Added an errno to report errors by another mean than a simple printf
2362    like callback</li>
2363  <li>Finished ID/IDREF support and checking when validation</li>
2364  <li>Serious memory leaks fixed (there is now a <a href="html/libxml-xmlmemory.html">memory wrapper</a> module)</li>
2365  <li>Improvement of <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath">XPath</a>
2366    implementation</li>
2367  <li>Added an HTML parser front-end</li>
