2225 </ul><h3>2.0.0: Apr 12 2000</h3><ul>
2226 <li>First public release of libxml2. If you are using libxml, it's a good
2227 idea to check the 1.x to 2.x upgrade instructions. NOTE: while initially
2228 scheduled for Apr 3 the release occurred only on Apr 12 due to massive
2230 <li>The include are now located under $prefix/include/libxml (instead of

2239 <li>The previously CVS only tool tester has been renamed
2240 <strong>xmllint</strong> and is now installed as part of the libxml2
2242 <li>The I/O interface has been revamped. There is now ways to plug in
2243 specific I/O modules, either at the URI scheme detection level using
2244 xmlRegisterInputCallbacks() or by passing I/O functions when creating a
2245 parser context using xmlCreateIOParserCtxt()</li>
2246 <li>there is a C preprocessor macro LIBXML_VERSION providing the version
2247 number of the libxml module in use</li>
2248 <li>a number of optional features of libxml can now be excluded at

2253 FTP</a>, it's packaged as libxml2-2.0.0beta and available as tar and
2255 <li>This version is now the head in the Gnome CVS base, the old one is
2256 available under the tag LIB_XML_1_X</li>
2257 <li>This includes a very large set of changes. From a programmatic point
2258 of view applications should not have to be modified too much, check the
2259 <a href="upgrade.html">upgrade page</a></li>
2260 <li>Some interfaces may changes (especially a bit about encoding).</li>
2261 <li>the updates includes:
2263 <li>fix I18N support. ISO-Latin-x/UTF-8/UTF-16 (nearly) seems correctly

2266 and proper PEref extensions in external subsets</li>
2267 <li>DTD conditional sections</li>
2268 <li>Validation now correctly handle entities content</li>
2269 <li><a href="http://rpmfind.net/tools/gdome/messages/0039.html">change
2270 structures to accommodate DOM</a></li>
2273 <li>Serious progress were made toward compliance, <a href="conf/result.html">here are the result of the test</a> against the
2274 OASIS testsuite (except the Japanese tests since I don't support that
2275 encoding yet). This URL is rebuilt every couple of hours using the CVS
2277 </ul><h3>1.8.7: Mar 6 2000</h3><ul>
2278 <li>This is a bug fix release:</li>
2279 <li>It is possible to disable the ignorable blanks heuristic used by
2280 libxml-1.x, a new function xmlKeepBlanksDefault(0) will allow this. Note
2281 that for adherence to XML spec, this behaviour will be disabled by
2282 default in 2.x . The same function will allow to keep compatibility for
2284 <li>Blanks in <a> </a> constructs are not ignored anymore,
2285 avoiding heuristic is really the Right Way :-\</li>
2286 <li>The unchecked use of snprintf which was breaking libxml-1.8.6

2331 <li>fixed a bug in</li>
2332 </ul><h3>1.8.0: Dec 12 1999</h3><ul>
2333 <li>cleanup, especially memory wise</li>

2352 <li>The basic type for strings manipulated by libxml has been renamed in
2353 1.7.1 from <strong>CHAR</strong> to <strong>xmlChar</strong>. The reason
2354 is that CHAR was conflicting with a predefined type on Windows. However
2355 on non WIN32 environment, compatibility is provided by the way of a
2356 <strong>#define </strong>.</li>
2357 <li>Changed another error : the use of a structure field called errno, and
2358 leading to troubles on platforms where it's a macro</li>
