1Changes in version 1.0.1: 2- Fixed comment tags which were outputing as '<?--' instead of 3 the correct '<!--'. 4- Implemented the Next and Prev methods of the TiXmlAttribute class. 5- Renamed 'LastAttribtute' to 'LastAttribute' 6- Fixed bad pointer to 'isspace' that could occur while parsing text. 7- Errors finding beginning and end of tags no longer throw it into an 8 infinite loop. (Hopefully.) 9 10Changes in version 1.0.2 11- Minor documentation fixes. 12 13Changes in version 1.0.3 14- After nodes are added to a document, they return a pointer 15 to the new node instead of a bool for success. 16- Elements can be constructed with a value, which is the 17 element name. Every element must have a value or it will be 18 invalid, but the code changes to enforce this are not fully 19 in place. 20 21Changes in version 1.1.0 22- Added the TiXmlAttributeSet class to pull the attributes into 23 a seperate container. 24- Moved the doubly liked list out of XmlBase. Now XmlBase only 25 requires the Print() function and defines some utility functions. 26- Moved errors into a seperate file. (With the idea of internationalization 27 to the other latin-1 languages.) 28- Added the "NodeType" 29- Fixed white space parsing in text to conform with the standard. 30 Basically, all white space becomes just one space. 31- Added the TiXmlDeclaration class to read xml declarations. 32 33Changes in version 1.2.0 34- Removed the factory. The factory was not really in the spirit 35 of small and simple, confused the code, and was of limited value. 36- Added FirstChildElement and NextSiblingElement, because they 37 are such common functions. 38- Re-wrote the example to test and demonstrate more functionality. 39 40Changes in version 1.2.1 41- Fixed a bug where comments couldn't be inside elements. 42- Loading now clears out existing XML rather than appending. 43- Added the "Clear" method on a node to delete all its children. 44 45Changes in version 1.2.2 46- Fixed TiXmlAttribute::Previous actually returning "next." Thanks 47 to Rickard Troedsson for the bug fix. 48 49Changes in version 1.2.3 50- Added the TIXML prefix to the error strings to resolve conflicts 51 with #defines in OS headers. Thanks to Steve Lhomme. 52- Fixed a delete buf that should be a delete [] buf. 53 Thanks to Ephi Sinowitz. 54 55Changes in version 1.2.4 56- ReplaceChild() was almost guarenteed to fail. Should be fixed, 57 thanks to Joe Smith. Joe also pointed out that the Print() functions 58 should take stream references: I agree, and would like to overload 59 the Print() method to take either format, but I don't want to do 60 this in a dot release. 61- Some compilers seem to need an extra <ctype.h> include. Thanks 62 to Steve Lhomme for that. 63 64Changes in version 2.0.0 BETA 65- Made the ToXXX() casts safe if 'this' is null. 66 When "LoadFile" is called with a filename, the value will correctly get set. 67 Thanks to Brian Yoder. 68- Fixed bug where isalpha() and isalnum() would get called with a negative value for 69 high ascii numbers. Thanks to Alesky Aksenov. 70- Fixed some errors codes that were not getting set. 71- Made methods "const" that were not. 72- Added a switch to enable or disable the ignoring of white space. ( TiXmlDocument::SetIgnoreWhiteSpace() ) 73- Greater standardization and code re-use in the parser. 74- Added a stream out operator. 75- Added a stream in operator. 76- Entity support, of predefined entites. &#x entities are untouched by input or output. 77- Improved text out formatting. 78- Fixed ReplaceChild bug, thanks to Tao Chen. 79 80Changes in version 2.0.1 81- Fixed hanging on loading a 0 length file. Thanks to Jeff Scozzafava. 82- Fixed crashing on InsertBeforeChild and InsertAfterChild. Also possibility of bad links being 83 created by same function. Thanks to Frank De prins. 84- Added missing licence text. Thanks to Lars Willemsens. 85- Added <ctype.h> include, at the suggestion of Steve Walters. 86 87Changes in version 2.1.0 88- Yves Berquin brings us the STL switch. The forum on SourceForge, and various emails to 89 me, have long debated all out STL vs. no STL at all. And now you can have it both ways. 90 TinyXml will compile either way. 91 92Changes in version 2.1.1 93- Compilation warnings. 94 95Changes in version 2.1.2 96- Uneeded code is not compiled in the STL case. 97- Changed headers so that STL can be turned on or off in tinyxml.h 98 99Changes in version 2.1.3 100- Fixed non-const reference in API; now uses a pointer. 101- Copy constructor of TiXmlString not checking for assignment to self. 102- Nimrod Cohen found a truly evil bug in the STL implementation that occurs 103 when a string is converted to a c_str and then assigned to self. Search for 104 STL_STRING_BUG for a full description. I'm asserting this is a Microsoft STL 105 bug, since &string and string.c_str() should never be the same. Nevertheless, 106 the code works around it. 107- Urivan Saaib pointed out a compiler conflict, where the C headers define 108 the isblank macro, which was wiping out the TiXmlString::isblank() method. 109 The method was unused and has been removed. 110 111Changes in version 2.1.4 112- Reworked the entity code. Entities were not correctly surving round trip input and output. 113 Will now automatically create entities for high ascii in output. 114 115Changes in version 2.1.5 116- Bug fix by kylotan : infinite loop on some input (tinyxmlparser.cpp rev 1.27) 117- Contributed by Ivica Aracic (bytelord) : 1 new VC++ project to compile versions as static libraries (tinyxml_lib.dsp), 118 and an example usage in xmltest.dsp 119 (Patch request ID 678605) 120- A suggestion by Ronald Fenner Jr (dormlock) to add #include <istream> and <ostream> for Apple's Project Builder 121 (Patch request ID 697642) 122- A patch from ohommes that allows to parse correctly dots in element names and attribute names 123 (Patch request 602600 and kylotan 701728) 124- A patch from hermitgeek ( James ) and wasteland for improper error reporting 125- Reviewed by Lee, with the following changes: 126 - Got sick of fighting the STL/non-STL thing in the windows build. Broke 127 them out as seperate projects. 128 - I have too long not included the dsw. Added. 129 - TinyXmlText had a protected Print. Odd. 130 - Made LinkEndChild public, with docs and appropriate warnings. 131 - Updated the docs. 132 1332.2.0 134- Fixed an uninitialized pointer in the TiXmlAttributes 135- Fixed STL compilation problem in MinGW (and gcc 3?) - thanks Brian Yoder for finding this one 136- Fixed a syntax error in TiXmlDeclaration - thanks Brian Yoder 137- Fletcher Dunn proposed and submitted new error handling that tracked the row and column. Lee 138 modified it to not have performance impact. 139- General cleanup suggestions from Fletcher Dunn. 140- In error handling, general errors will no longer clear the error state of specific ones. 141- Fix error in documentation : comments starting with "<?--" instead of "<!--" (thanks ion_pulse) 142- Added the TiXmlHandle. An easy, safe way to browse XML DOMs with less code. 143- Added QueryAttribute calls which have better error messaging. (Proposed by Fletcher Dunn) 144- Nodes and attributes can now print themselves to strings. (Yves suggestion) 145- Fixed bug where entities with one character would confuse parser. (Thanks Roman) 146 1472.2.1 148- Additional testing (no more bugs found to be fixed in this release) 149- Significant performance improvement to the cursor code. 150 1512.3.0 152- User Data are now defined in TiXmlBase instead of TiXmlNode 153- Character Entities are now UCS-2 154- Character Entities can be decimal or hexadecimal 155- UTF-8 conversion. 156- Fixed many, many bugs. 157 1582.3.1 159- Fixed bug in handling nulls embedded in the input. 160- Make UTF-8 parser tolerant of bad text encoding. 161- Added encoding detection. 162- Many fixes and input from John-Philip Leonard Johansson (JP) and Ellers, 163 including UTF-8 feedback, bug reports, and patches. Thanks! 164- Added version # constants - a suggestion from JP and Ellers. 165- [ 979180 ] Missing ; in entity reference, fix from Rob Laveaux. 166- Copy constructors and assignment have been a long time coming. Thanks to 167 Fokke and JP. 168 1692.3.2 170- Made the IsAlpha and IsAlphaNum much more tolerant of non-UTF-8 encodings. Thanks 171 Volker Boerchers for finding the issue. 172- Ran the program though the magnificent Valgrind - http://valgrind.kde.org - to check 173 for memory errors. Fixed some minor issues. 174 1752.3.3 176- Fixed crash when test program was run from incorrect directory. 177- Fixed bug 1070717 - empty document not returned correctly - thanks Katsuhisa Yuasa. 178- Bug 1079301 resolved - deprecated stdlib calls. Thanks Adrian Boeing. 179- Bug 1035218 fixed - documentation errors. Xunji Luo 180- Other bug fixes have accumulated and been fixed on the way as well; my apologies to 181 authors not credited! 182- Big fix / addition is to correctly return const values. TinyXml could basically 183 remove const in a method like this: TiXmlElement* Foo() const, where the returned element 184 was a pointer to internal data. That is now: const TiXmlElement* Foo() const and 185 TiXmlElement* Foo(). 186 1872.3.4 188- Fixed additional const errors, thanks Kent Gibson. 189- Correctly re-enable warnings after tinyxml header. Thanks Cory Nelson. 190- Variety of type cleanup and warning fixes. Thanks Warren Stevens. 191- Cleaned up unneeded constructor calls in TinyString - thanks to Geoff Carlton and 192 the discussion group on sourceforge. 193 1942.4.0 195- Improved string class, thanks Tyge Lovset (whose name gets mangled in English - sorry) 196- Type cast compiler warning, thanks Rob van den Bogaard 197- Added GetText() convenience function. Thanks Ilya Parniuk & Andrew Ellers for input. 198- Many thanks to marlonism for finding an infinite loop in bad xml. 199- A patch to cleanup warnings from Robert Gebis. 200- Added ValueStr() to get the value of a node as a string. 201- TiXmlText can now parse and output as CDATA 202- Additional string improvement from James (z2895) 203- Removed extraneous 'const', thanks David Aldrich 204- First pass at switching to the "safe" stdlib functions. Many people have suggested and 205 pushed on this, but Warren Stevens put together the first proposal. 206- TinyXml now will do EOL normalization before parsing, consistent with the W3C XML spec. 207- Documents loaded with the UTF-8 BOM will now save with the UTF-8 BOM. Good suggestion 208 from 'instructor_' 209- Ellers submitted his very popular tutorials, which have been added to the distribution. 210 211
