  198. bug #3496608 to randomize hash parameters.
  199. When compiled with XML_ATTR_INFO defined, adds new API member
  200. XML_GetAttributeInfo() that allows retrieving the byte
  201. offsets for attribute names and values (patch #3446384).
  202. Added CMake build system.
  203. See bug #2990652 and patch #3312568.
  204. Added run-benchmark target to Makefile.in - relies on testdata module
  205. present in the same relative location as in the repository.
  206. Release 2.0.1 Tue June 5 2007
  207. - Fixed bugs #1515266, #1515600: The character data handler's calling
  208. of XML_StopParser() was not handled properly; if the parser was
  209. stopped and the handler set to NULL, the parser would segfault.
  210. - Fixed bug #1690883: Expat failed on EBCDIC systems as it assumed
  211. some character constants to be ASCII encoded.
  212. - Minor cleanups of the test harness.
  213. - Fixed xmlwf bug #1513566: "out of memory" error on file size zero.
  214. - Fixed outline.c bug #1543233: missing a final XML_ParserFree() call.
  215. - Fixes and improvements for Windows platform:

  218. HP-UX, Tru64, Solaris 9: patch #1437840, bug #1196180.
  219. All Unix: #1554618 (refreshed config.sub/config.guess).
  220. #1490371, #1613457: support both, DESTDIR and INSTALL_ROOT,
  221. without relying on GNU-Make specific features.
  222. #1647805: Patched configure.in to work better with Intel compiler.
  223. - Fixes to Makefile.in to have make check work correctly:
  224. bugs #1408143, #1535603, #1536684.
  225. - Added Open Watcom support: patch #1523242.
  226. Release 2.0.0 Wed Jan 11 2006
  227. - We no longer use the "check" library for C unit testing; we
  228. always use the (partial) internal implementation of the API.
  229. - Report XML_NS setting via XML_GetFeatureList().
  230. - Fixed headers for use from C++.
  231. - XML_GetCurrentLineNumber() and XML_GetCurrentColumnNumber()
  232. now return unsigned integers.
  233. - Added XML_LARGE_SIZE switch to enable 64-bit integers for
  234. byte indexes and line/column numbers.
  235. - Updated to use libtool 1.5.22 (the most recent).
  236. - Added support for AmigaOS.
  237. - Some mostly minor bug fixes. SF issues include: #1006708,
  238. #1021776, #1023646, #1114960, #1156398, #1221160, #1271642.
  239. Release 1.95.8 Fri Jul 23 2004
  240. - Major new feature: suspend/resume. Handlers can now request
  241. that a parse be suspended for later resumption or aborted
  242. altogether. See "Temporarily Stopping Parsing" in the
  243. documentation for more details.
  244. - Some mostly minor bug fixes, but compilation should no
  245. longer generate warnings on most platforms. SF issues
  246. include: #827319, #840173, #846309, #888329, #896188, #923913,
  247. #928113, #961698, #985192.
  248. Release 1.95.7 Mon Oct 20 2003
  249. - Fixed enum XML_Status issue (reported on SourceForge many
  250. times), so compilers that are properly picky will be happy.
  251. - Introduced an XMLCALL macro to control the calling
  252. convention used by the Expat API; this macro should be used
  253. to annotate prototypes and definitions of callback
  254. implementations in code compiled with a calling convention
  255. other than the default convention for the host platform.
  256. - Improved ability to build without the configure-generated
  257. expat_config.h header. This is useful for applications
  258. which embed Expat rather than linking in the library.
  259. - Fixed a variety of bugs: see SF issues #458907, #609603,
  260. #676844, #679754, #692878, #692964, #695401, #699323, #699487,

  263. - Added more regression tests and improved documentation.
  264. Release 1.95.6 Tue Jan 28 2003
  265. - Added XML_FreeContentModel().
  266. - Added XML_MemMalloc(), XML_MemRealloc(), XML_MemFree().
  267. - Fixed a variety of bugs: see SF issues #615606, #616863,
  268. #618199, #653180, #673791.
  269. - Enhanced the regression test suite.
  270. - Man page improvements: includes SF issue #632146.
  271. Release 1.95.5 Fri Sep 6 2002
  272. - Added XML_UseForeignDTD() for improved SAX2 support.
  273. - Added XML_GetFeatureList().
  274. - Defined XML_Bool type and the values XML_TRUE and XML_FALSE.
  275. - Use an incomplete struct instead of a void* for the parser
  276. (may not retain).
  277. - Fixed UTF-8 decoding bug that caused legal UTF-8 to be rejected.
  278. - Finally fixed bug where default handler would report DTD
  279. events that were already handled by another handler.
  280. Initial patch contributed by Darryl Miles.
  281. - Removed unnecessary DllMain() function that caused static
  282. linking into a DLL to be difficult.
  283. - Added VC++ projects for building static libraries.
  284. - Reduced line-length for all source code and headers to be
  285. no longer than 80 characters, to help with AS/400 support.
  286. - Reduced memory copying during parsing (SF patch #600964).
  287. - Fixed a variety of bugs: see SF issues #580793, #434664,
  288. #483514, #580503, #581069, #584041, #584183, #584832, #585537,
  289. #596555, #596678, #598352, #598944, #599715, #600479, #600971.
  290. Release 1.95.4 Fri Jul 12 2002
  291. - Added support for VMS, contributed by Craig Berry. See
  292. vms/README.vms for more information.
  293. - Added Mac OS (classic) support, with a makefile for MPW,
  294. contributed by Thomas Wegner and Daryle Walker.
  295. - Added Borland C++ Builder 5 / BCC 5.5 support, contributed
  296. by Patrick McConnell (SF patch #538032).
  297. - Fixed a variety of bugs: see SF issues #441449, #563184,
  298. #564342, #566334, #566901, #569461, #570263, #575168, #579196.
  299. - Made skippedEntityHandler conform to SAX2 (see source comment)
  300. - Re-implemented WFC: Entity Declared from XML 1.0 spec and
  301. added a new error "entity declared in parameter entity":
  302. see SF bug report #569461 and SF patch #578161
  303. - Re-implemented section 5.1 from XML 1.0 spec:
  304. see SF bug report #570263 and SF patch #578161
  305. Release 1.95.3 Mon Jun 3 2002
  306. - Added a project to the MSVC workspace to create a wchar_t
  307. version of the library; the DLLs are named libexpatw.dll.

  347. - XML_SetReturnNSTriplet
  348. If you turn this feature on when namespace processing is in

  351. separator character is used in namespace processing.

  360. now have corresponding individual handler setters
  361. o XML_GetInputContext for getting the input context of
  362. the current parse position.
  363. - Added reference material
  364. - Packaged into a distribution that builds a sharable library
