1562 scheduled for Apr 3 the release occurred only on Apr 12 due to massive
1564 <li>The include are now located under $prefix/include/libxml (instead of

1573 <li>The previously CVS only tool tester has been renamed
1574 <strong>xmllint</strong> and is now installed as part of the libxml2
1576 <li>The I/O interface has been revamped. There is now ways to plug in
1577 specific I/O modules, either at the URI scheme detection level using
1578 xmlRegisterInputCallbacks() or by passing I/O functions when creating a
1579 parser context using xmlCreateIOParserCtxt()</li>
1580 <li>there is a C preprocessor macro LIBXML_VERSION providing the version
1581 number of the libxml module in use</li>

1586 FTP</a>, it's packaged as libxml2-2.0.0beta and available as tar and
1588 <li>This version is now the head in the Gnome CVS base, the old one is
1589 available under the tag LIB_XML_1_X</li>
1590 <li>This includes a very large set of changes. From a programmatic point
1591 of view applications should not have to be modified too much, check the
1592 <a href="upgrade.html">upgrade page</a></li>
1593 <li>Some interfaces may changes (especially a bit about encoding).</li>
1594 <li>the updates includes:
1595 <ul><li>fix I18N support. ISO-Latin-x/UTF-8/UTF-16 (nearly) seems correctly

1605 OASIS testsuite (except the Japanese tests since I don't support that
1606 encoding yet). This URL is rebuilt every couple of hours using the CVS
1608 </ul><h3>1.8.7: Mar 6 2000</h3><ul><li>This is a bug fix release:</li>
1609 <li>It is possible to disable the ignorable blanks heuristic used by
1610 libxml-1.x, a new function xmlKeepBlanksDefault(0) will allow this. Note
1611 that for adherence to XML spec, this behaviour will be disabled by
1612 default in 2.x . The same function will allow to keep compatibility for
1614 <li>Blanks in <a> </a> constructs are not ignored anymore,
1615 avoiding heuristic is really the Right Way :-\</li>
1616 <li>The unchecked use of snprintf which was breaking libxml-1.8.6
1617 compilation on some platforms has been fixed</li>

1673 1.7.1 from <strong>CHAR</strong> to <strong>xmlChar</strong>. The reason

1675 on non WIN32 environment, compatibility is provided by the way of a
1676 <strong>#define </strong>.</li>
1677 <li>Changed another error : the use of a structure field called errno, and
1678 leading to troubles on platforms where it's a macro</li>
