1898 <li>rewrote all the error handling in the library, all errors can be
1899 intercepted at a structured level, with precise information
1901 <li>New simpler and more generic XML and HTML parser APIs, allowing to
1902 easilly modify the parsing options and reuse parser context for multiple

2601 available under the tag LIB_XML_1_X</li>
2602 <li>This includes a very large set of changes. From a programmatic point
2603 of view applications should not have to be modified too much, check the
2604 <a href="upgrade.html">upgrade page</a></li>
2605 <li>Some interfaces may changes (especially a bit about encoding).</li>

2626 that for adherence to XML spec, this behaviour will be disabled by
2627 default in 2.x . The same function will allow to keep compatibility for
2629 <li>Blanks in <a> </a> constructs are not ignored anymore,
2630 avoiding heuristic is really the Right Way :-\</li>

2700 on non WIN32 environment, compatibility is provided by the way of a
2701 <strong>#define </strong>.</li>
2702 <li>Changed another error : the use of a structure field called errno, and
2703 leading to troubles on platforms where it's a macro</li>
