2503 fix I18N support. ISO-Latin-x/UTF-8/UTF-16 (nearly) seems correctly

2528 - This is a bug fix release:
2529 - It is possible to disable the ignorable blanks heuristic used by
2530 libxml-1.x, a new function xmlKeepBlanksDefault(0) will allow this. Note
2531 that for adherence to XML spec, this behaviour will be disabled by
2532 default in 2.x . The same function will allow to keep compatibility for
2534 - Blanks in <a> </a> constructs are not ignored anymore,
2535 avoiding heuristic is really the Right Way :-\

2590 and more specifically the Dia application
2591 - fixed a posteriori validation (validation after parsing, or by using a
2592 Dtd not specified in the original document)
2597 - cleanup, especially memory wise
2598 - the parser should be more reliable, especially the HTML one, it should
2599 not crash, whatever the input !
2600 - Integrated various patches, especially a speedup improvement for large
2601 dataset from Carl Nygard,
2602 configure with --with-buffers to enable them.
2603 - attribute normalization, oops should have been added long ago !
2604 - attributes defaulted from DTDs should be available, xmlSetProp() now
2605 does entities escaping by default.
2609 - Lots of HTML improvement
2610 - Fixed some errors when saving both XML and HTML
2611 - More examples, the regression tests should now look clean
2612 - Fixed a bug with contiguous charref
2616 - portability problems fixed
2617 - snprintf was used unconditionally, leading to link problems on system
2618 were it's not available, fixed
2622 - The basic type for strings manipulated by libxml has been renamed in
2623 1.7.1 from CHAR to xmlChar. The reason
2624 is that CHAR was conflicting with a predefined type on Windows. However
2625 on non WIN32 environment, compatibility is provided by the way of a
2627 - Changed another error : the use of a structure field called errno, and
2628 leading to troubles on platforms where it's a macro
2632 - Added the ability to fetch remote DTD or parsed entities, see the nanohttp module.
2633 - Added an errno to report errors by another mean than a simple printf
2635 - Finished ID/IDREF support and checking when validation
2636 - Serious memory leaks fixed (there is now a memory wrapper module)
2637 - Improvement of XPath
2639 - Added an HTML parser front-end
