2559 available under the tag LIB_XML_1_X</li>
2560 <li>This includes a very large set of changes. From a programmatic point
2561 of view applications should not have to be modified too much, check the
2562 <a href="upgrade.html">upgrade page</a></li>

2584 that for adherence to XML spec, this behaviour will be disabled by
2585 default in 2.x . The same function will allow to keep compatibility for
2587 <li>Blanks in <a> </a> constructs are not ignored anymore,
2588 avoiding heuristic is really the Right Way :-\</li>

2638 not crash, whatever the input !</li>
2639 <li>Integrated various patches, especially a speedup improvement for large
2640 dataset from <a href="mailto:cnygard@bellatlantic.net">Carl Nygard</a>,
2641 configure with --with-buffers to enable them.</li>
2642 <li>attribute normalization, oops should have been added long ago !</li>
2643 <li>attributes defaulted from DTDs should be available, xmlSetProp() now
2644 does entities escaping by default.</li>
2645 </ul><h3>1.7.4: Oct 25 1999</h3><ul>
2646 <li>Lots of HTML improvement</li>
2647 <li>Fixed some errors when saving both XML and HTML</li>
2648 <li>More examples, the regression tests should now look clean</li>
2649 <li>Fixed a bug with contiguous charref</li>
2650 </ul><h3>1.7.3: Sep 29 1999</h3><ul>
2651 <li>portability problems fixed</li>
2652 <li>snprintf was used unconditionally, leading to link problems on system
2653 were it's not available, fixed</li>
2654 </ul><h3>1.7.1: Sep 24 1999</h3><ul>
2655 <li>The basic type for strings manipulated by libxml has been renamed in
2656 1.7.1 from <strong>CHAR</strong> to <strong>xmlChar</strong>. The reason
2657 is that CHAR was conflicting with a predefined type on Windows. However
2658 on non WIN32 environment, compatibility is provided by the way of a
2659 <strong>#define </strong>.</li>
2660 <li>Changed another error : the use of a structure field called errno, and
2661 leading to troubles on platforms where it's a macro</li>
2662 </ul><h3>1.7.0: Sep 23 1999</h3><ul>
2663 <li>Added the ability to fetch remote DTD or parsed entities, see the <a href="html/libxml-nanohttp.html">nanohttp</a> module.</li>
2664 <li>Added an errno to report errors by another mean than a simple printf
2666 <li>Finished ID/IDREF support and checking when validation</li>
2667 <li>Serious memory leaks fixed (there is now a <a href="html/libxml-xmlmemory.html">memory wrapper</a> module)</li>
2668 <li>Improvement of <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath">XPath</a>
2670 <li>Added an HTML parser front-end</li>
