2370</ul><h3>2.1.0 and 1.8.8: June 29 2000</h3><ul>
2371  <li>1.8.8 is mostly a commodity package for upgrading to libxml2 according
2372    to <a href="upgrade.html">new instructions</a>. It fixes a nasty problem
2373    about &amp;#38; charref parsing</li>
2374  <li>2.1.0 also ease the upgrade from libxml v1 to the recent version. it
2375    also contains numerous fixes and enhancements:
2376    <ul>
2377      <li>added xmlStopParser() to stop parsing</li>

2383      <li>lot of various fixes</li>
2384    </ul>
2385  </li>
2386</ul><h3>2.0.0: Apr 12 2000</h3><ul>
2387  <li>First public release of libxml2. If you are using libxml, it's a good
2388    idea to check the 1.x to 2.x upgrade instructions. NOTE: while initially
2389    scheduled for Apr 3 the release occurred only on Apr 12 due to massive
2390    workload.</li>
2391  <li>The include are now located under $prefix/include/libxml (instead of
2392    $prefix/include/gnome-xml), they also are referenced by
2393    <pre>#include &lt;libxml/xxx.h&gt;</pre>
2394    <p>instead of</p>
2395    <pre>#include "xxx.h"</pre>
2396  </li>
2397  <li>a new URI module for parsing URIs and following strictly RFC 2396</li>
2398  <li>the memory allocation routines used by libxml can now be overloaded
2399    dynamically by using xmlMemSetup()</li>
2400  <li>The previously CVS only tool tester has been renamed
2401    <strong>xmllint</strong> and is now installed as part of the libxml2
2402    package</li>
2403  <li>The I/O interface has been revamped. There is now ways to plug in
2404    specific I/O modules, either at the URI scheme detection level using
2405    xmlRegisterInputCallbacks()  or by passing I/O functions when creating a
2406    parser context using xmlCreateIOParserCtxt()</li>
2407  <li>there is a C preprocessor macro LIBXML_VERSION providing the version
2408    number of the libxml module in use</li>
2409  <li>a number of optional features of libxml can now be excluded at
2410    configure time (FTP/HTTP/HTML/XPath/Debug)</li>
2411</ul><h3>2.0.0beta: Mar 14 2000</h3><ul>
2412  <li>This is a first Beta release of libxml version 2</li>
2413  <li>It's available only from<a href="ftp://xmlsoft.org/libxml2/">xmlsoft.org
2414    FTP</a>, it's packaged as libxml2-2.0.0beta and available as tar and
2415  RPMs</li>
2416  <li>This version is now the head in the Gnome CVS base, the old one is
2417    available under the tag LIB_XML_1_X</li>
2418  <li>This includes a very large set of changes. From a  programmatic point
2419    of view applications should not have to be modified too much, check the
2420    <a href="upgrade.html">upgrade page</a></li>
2421  <li>Some interfaces may changes (especially a bit about encoding).</li>
2422  <li>the updates includes:
2423    <ul>
2424      <li>fix I18N support. ISO-Latin-x/UTF-8/UTF-16 (nearly) seems correctly
2425        handled now</li>
2426      <li>Better handling of entities, especially well-formedness checking
2427        and proper PEref extensions in external subsets</li>
2428      <li>DTD conditional sections</li>
2429      <li>Validation now correctly handle entities content</li>
2430      <li><a href="http://rpmfind.net/tools/gdome/messages/0039.html">change
2431        structures to accommodate DOM</a></li>
2432    </ul>
2433  </li>
2434  <li>Serious progress were made toward compliance, <a href="conf/result.html">here are the result of the test</a> against the
2435    OASIS testsuite (except the Japanese tests since I don't support that
2436    encoding yet). This URL is rebuilt every couple of hours using the CVS
2437    head version.</li>
2438</ul><h3>1.8.7: Mar 6 2000</h3><ul>
2439  <li>This is a bug fix release:</li>
2440  <li>It is possible to disable the ignorable blanks heuristic used by
2441    libxml-1.x, a new function  xmlKeepBlanksDefault(0) will allow this. Note
2442    that for adherence to XML spec, this behaviour will be disabled by
2443    default in 2.x . The same function will allow to keep compatibility for
2444    old code.</li>
2445  <li>Blanks in &lt;a&gt;  &lt;/a&gt; constructs are not ignored anymore,
2446    avoiding heuristic is really the Right Way :-\</li>
2447  <li>The unchecked use of snprintf which was breaking libxml-1.8.6
2448    compilation on some platforms has been fixed</li>
2449  <li>nanoftp.c nanohttp.c: Fixed '#' and '?' stripping when processing
2450  URIs</li>
2451</ul><h3>1.8.6: Jan 31 2000</h3><ul>
2452  <li>added a nanoFTP transport module, debugged until the new version of <a href="http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/rpmfind.html">rpmfind</a> can use
2453    it without troubles</li>
2454</ul><h3>1.8.5: Jan 21 2000</h3><ul>
2455  <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
2456    XML spec)</li>
2457  <li>fixed a hideous bug in xmlGetProp pointed by Rune.Djurhuus@fast.no</li>
2458  <li>Jody Goldberg &lt;jgoldberg@home.com&gt; provided another patch trying
2459    to solve the zlib checks problems</li>
2460  <li>The current state in gnome CVS base is expected to ship as 1.8.5 with
2461    gnumeric soon</li>
2462</ul><h3>1.8.4: Jan 13 2000</h3><ul>
2463  <li>bug fixes, reintroduced xmlNewGlobalNs(), fixed xmlNewNs()</li>
2464  <li>all exit() call should have been removed from libxml</li>

2471  <li>fixed the DTD parsing code to work with the xhtml DTD</li>
2472  <li>added xmlRemoveProp(), xmlRemoveID() and xmlRemoveRef()</li>
2473  <li>Fixed bugs in xmlNewNs()</li>
2474  <li>External entity loading code has been revamped, now it uses
2475    xmlLoadExternalEntity(), some fix on entities processing were added</li>
2476  <li>cleaned up WIN32 includes of socket stuff</li>
2477</ul><h3>1.8.2: Dec 21 1999</h3><ul>
2478  <li>I got another problem with includes and C++, I hope this issue is fixed
2479    for good this time</li>
2480  <li>Added a few tree modification functions: xmlReplaceNode,
2481    xmlAddPrevSibling, xmlAddNextSibling, xmlNodeSetName and
2482    xmlDocSetRootElement</li>
2483  <li>Tried to improve the HTML output with help from <a href="mailto:clahey@umich.edu">Chris Lahey</a></li>
2484</ul><h3>1.8.1: Dec 18 1999</h3><ul>
2485  <li>various patches to avoid troubles when using libxml with C++ compilers
2486    the "namespace" keyword and C escaping in include files</li>
2487  <li>a problem in one of the core macros IS_CHAR was corrected</li>
2488  <li>fixed a bug introduced in 1.8.0 breaking default namespace processing,
2489    and more specifically the Dia application</li>
2490  <li>fixed a posteriori validation (validation after parsing, or by using a
2491    Dtd not specified in the original document)</li>
2492  <li>fixed a bug in</li>
2493</ul><h3>1.8.0: Dec 12 1999</h3><ul>
2494  <li>cleanup, especially memory wise</li>
2495  <li>the parser should be more reliable, especially the HTML one, it should
2496    not crash, whatever the input !</li>
2497  <li>Integrated various patches, especially a speedup improvement for large
2498    dataset from <a href="mailto:cnygard@bellatlantic.net">Carl Nygard</a>,
2499    configure with --with-buffers to enable them.</li>
2500  <li>attribute normalization, oops should have been added long ago !</li>
2501  <li>attributes defaulted from DTDs should be available, xmlSetProp() now
2502    does entities escaping by default.</li>
2503</ul><h3>1.7.4: Oct 25 1999</h3><ul>
2504  <li>Lots of HTML improvement</li>
2505  <li>Fixed some errors when saving both XML and HTML</li>
2506  <li>More examples, the regression tests should now look clean</li>
2507  <li>Fixed a bug with contiguous charref</li>
2508</ul><h3>1.7.3: Sep 29 1999</h3><ul>
2509  <li>portability problems fixed</li>

2511    were it's not available, fixed</li>
2512</ul><h3>1.7.1: Sep 24 1999</h3><ul>
2513  <li>The basic type for strings manipulated by libxml has been renamed in
2514    1.7.1 from <strong>CHAR</strong> to <strong>xmlChar</strong>. The reason
2515    is that CHAR was conflicting with a predefined type on Windows. However
2516    on non WIN32 environment, compatibility is provided by the way of  a
2517    <strong>#define </strong>.</li>
2518  <li>Changed another error : the use of a structure field called errno, and
2519    leading to troubles on platforms where it's a macro</li>
2520</ul><h3>1.7.0: Sep 23 1999</h3><ul>
2521  <li>Added the ability to fetch remote DTD or parsed entities, see the <a href="html/libxml-nanohttp.html">nanohttp</a> module.</li>
2522  <li>Added an errno to report errors by another mean than a simple printf
2523    like callback</li>
2524  <li>Finished ID/IDREF support and checking when validation</li>
2525  <li>Serious memory leaks fixed (there is now a <a href="html/libxml-xmlmemory.html">memory wrapper</a> module)</li>
2526  <li>Improvement of <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath">XPath</a>
2527    implementation</li>
2528  <li>Added an HTML parser front-end</li>
