Changes revision b80e287d54a028e744f9fe412840a89ec7f8084b
1Release 2.0.0 Wed Jan 11 2006 2 - We no longer use the "check" library for C unit testing; we 3 always use the (partial) internal implementation of the API. 4 - Report XML_NS setting via XML_GetFeatureList(). 5 - Fixed headers for use from C++. 6 - XML_GetCurrentLineNumber() and XML_GetCurrentColumnNumber() 7 now return unsigned integers. 8 - Added XML_LARGE_SIZE switch to enable 64-bit integers for 9 byte indexes and line/column numbers. 10 - Updated to use libtool 1.5.22 (the most recent). 11 - Added support for AmigaOS. 12 - Some mostly minor bug fixes. SF issues include: 1006708, 13 1021776, 1023646, 1114960, 1156398, 1221160, 1271642. 14 15Release 1.95.8 Fri Jul 23 2004 16 - Major new feature: suspend/resume. Handlers can now request 17 that a parse be suspended for later resumption or aborted 18 altogether. See "Temporarily Stopping Parsing" in the 19 documentation for more details. 20 - Some mostly minor bug fixes, but compilation should no 21 longer generate warnings on most platforms. SF issues 22 include: 827319, 840173, 846309, 888329, 896188, 923913, 23 928113, 961698, 985192. 24 25Release 1.95.7 Mon Oct 20 2003 26 - Fixed enum XML_Status issue (reported on SourceForge many 27 times), so compilers that are properly picky will be happy. 28 - Introduced an XMLCALL macro to control the calling 29 convention used by the Expat API; this macro should be used 30 to annotate prototypes and definitions of callback 31 implementations in code compiled with a calling convention 32 other than the default convention for the host platform. 33 - Improved ability to build without the configure-generated 34 expat_config.h header. This is useful for applications 35 which embed Expat rather than linking in the library. 36 - Fixed a variety of bugs: see SF issues 458907, 609603, 37 676844, 679754, 692878, 692964, 695401, 699323, 699487, 38 820946. 39 - Improved hash table lookups. 40 - Added more regression tests and improved documentation. 41 42Release 1.95.6 Tue Jan 28 2003 43 - Added XML_FreeContentModel(). 44 - Added XML_MemMalloc(), XML_MemRealloc(), XML_MemFree(). 45 - Fixed a variety of bugs: see SF issues 615606, 616863, 46 618199, 653180, 673791. 47 - Enhanced the regression test suite. 48 - Man page improvements: includes SF issue 632146. 49 50Release 1.95.5 Fri Sep 6 2002 51 - Added XML_UseForeignDTD() for improved SAX2 support. 52 - Added XML_GetFeatureList(). 53 - Defined XML_Bool type and the values XML_TRUE and XML_FALSE. 54 - Use an incomplete struct instead of a void* for the parser 55 (may not retain). 56 - Fixed UTF-8 decoding bug that caused legal UTF-8 to be rejected. 57 - Finally fixed bug where default handler would report DTD 58 events that were already handled by another handler. 59 Initial patch contributed by Darryl Miles. 60 - Removed unnecessary DllMain() function that caused static 61 linking into a DLL to be difficult. 62 - Added VC++ projects for building static libraries. 63 - Reduced line-length for all source code and headers to be 64 no longer than 80 characters, to help with AS/400 support. 65 - Reduced memory copying during parsing (SF patch #600964). 66 - Fixed a variety of bugs: see SF issues 580793, 434664, 67 483514, 580503, 581069, 584041, 584183, 584832, 585537, 68 596555, 596678, 598352, 598944, 599715, 600479, 600971. 69 70Release 1.95.4 Fri Jul 12 2002 71 - Added support for VMS, contributed by Craig Berry. See 72 vms/README.vms for more information. 73 - Added Mac OS (classic) support, with a makefile for MPW, 74 contributed by Thomas Wegner and Daryle Walker. 75 - Added Borland C++ Builder 5 / BCC 5.5 support, contributed 76 by Patrick McConnell (SF patch #538032). 77 - Fixed a variety of bugs: see SF issues 441449, 563184, 78 564342, 566334, 566901, 569461, 570263, 575168, 579196. 79 - Made skippedEntityHandler conform to SAX2 (see source comment) 80 - Re-implemented WFC: Entity Declared from XML 1.0 spec and 81 added a new error "entity declared in parameter entity": 82 see SF bug report 569461 and SF patch 578161 83 - Re-implemented section 5.1 from XML 1.0 spec: 84 see SF bug report 570263 and SF patch 578161 85 86Release 1.95.3 Mon Jun 3 2002 87 - Added a project to the MSVC workspace to create a wchar_t 88 version of the library; the DLLs are named libexpatw.dll. 89 - Changed the name of the Windows DLLs from expat.dll to 90 libexpat.dll; this fixes SF bug #432456. 91 - Added the XML_ParserReset() API function. 92 - Fixed XML_SetReturnNSTriplet() to work for element names. 93 - Made the XML_UNICODE builds usable (thanks, Karl!). 94 - Allow xmlwf to read from standard input. 95 - Install a man page for xmlwf on Unix systems. 96 - Fixed many bugs; see SF bug reports 231864, 461380, 464837, 97 466885, 469226, 477667, 484419, 487840, 494749, 496505, 98 547350. Other bugs which we can't test as easily may also 99 have been fixed, especially in the area of build support. 100 101Release 1.95.2 Fri Jul 27 2001 102 - More changes to make MSVC happy with the build; add a single 103 workspace to support both the library and xmlwf application. 104 - Added a Windows installer for Windows users; includes 105 xmlwf.exe. 106 - Added compile-time constants that can be used to determine the 107 Expat version 108 - Removed a lot of GNU-specific dependencies to aide portability 109 among the various Unix flavors. 110 - Fix the UTF-8 BOM bug. 111 - Cleaned up warning messages for several compilers. 112 - Added the -Wall, -Wstrict-prototypes options for GCC. 113 114Release 1.95.1 Sun Oct 22 15:11:36 EDT 2000 115 - Changes to get expat to build under Microsoft compiler 116 - Removed all aborts and instead return an UNEXPECTED_STATE error. 117 - Fixed a bug where a stray '%' in an entity value would cause an 118 abort. 119 - Defined XML_SetEndNamespaceDeclHandler. Thanks to Darryl Miles for 120 finding this oversight. 121 - Changed default patterns in lib/Makefile.in to fit non-GNU makes 122 Thanks to robin@unrated.net for reporting and providing an 123 account to test on. 124 - The reference had the wrong label for XML_SetStartNamespaceDecl. 125 Reported by an anonymous user. 126 127Release 1.95.0 Fri Sep 29 2000 128 - XML_ParserCreate_MM 129 Allows you to set a memory management suite to replace the 130 standard malloc,realloc, and free. 131 - XML_SetReturnNSTriplet 132 If you turn this feature on when namespace processing is in 133 effect, then qualified, prefixed element and attribute names 134 are returned as "uri|name|prefix" where '|' is whatever 135 separator character is used in namespace processing. 136 - Merged in features from perl-expat 137 o XML_SetElementDeclHandler 138 o XML_SetAttlistDeclHandler 139 o XML_SetXmlDeclHandler 140 o XML_SetEntityDeclHandler 141 o StartDoctypeDeclHandler takes 3 additional parameters: 142 sysid, pubid, has_internal_subset 143 o Many paired handler setters (like XML_SetElementHandler) 144 now have corresponding individual handler setters 145 o XML_GetInputContext for getting the input context of 146 the current parse position. 147 - Added reference material 148 - Packaged into a distribution that builds a sharable library 149
