2386 </ul><h3>2.0.0: Apr 12 2000</h3><ul>
2387 <li>First public release of libxml2. If you are using libxml, it's a good
2388 idea to check the 1.x to 2.x upgrade instructions. NOTE: while initially
2389 scheduled for Apr 3 the release occurred only on Apr 12 due to massive
2391 <li>The include are now located under $prefix/include/libxml (instead of
2392 $prefix/include/gnome-xml), they also are referenced by
2393 <pre>#include <libxml/xxx.h></pre>
2395 <pre>#include "xxx.h"</pre>
2397 <li>a new URI module for parsing URIs and following strictly RFC 2396</li>
2398 <li>the memory allocation routines used by libxml can now be overloaded
2399 dynamically by using xmlMemSetup()</li>
2400 <li>The previously CVS only tool tester has been renamed
2401 <strong>xmllint</strong> and is now installed as part of the libxml2
2403 <li>The I/O interface has been revamped. There is now ways to plug in
2404 specific I/O modules, either at the URI scheme detection level using
2405 xmlRegisterInputCallbacks() or by passing I/O functions when creating a
2406 parser context using xmlCreateIOParserCtxt()</li>
2407 <li>there is a C preprocessor macro LIBXML_VERSION providing the version
2408 number of the libxml module in use</li>
2409 <li>a number of optional features of libxml can now be excluded at

2414 FTP</a>, it's packaged as libxml2-2.0.0beta and available as tar and
2416 <li>This version is now the head in the Gnome CVS base, the old one is
2417 available under the tag LIB_XML_1_X</li>
2418 <li>This includes a very large set of changes. From a programmatic point
2419 of view applications should not have to be modified too much, check the
2420 <a href="upgrade.html">upgrade page</a></li>
2421 <li>Some interfaces may changes (especially a bit about encoding).</li>
2422 <li>the updates includes:
2424 <li>fix I18N support. ISO-Latin-x/UTF-8/UTF-16 (nearly) seems correctly
2426 <li>Better handling of entities, especially well-formedness checking
2427 and proper PEref extensions in external subsets</li>
2428 <li>DTD conditional sections</li>
2429 <li>Validation now correctly handle entities content</li>
2430 <li><a href="http://rpmfind.net/tools/gdome/messages/0039.html">change
2431 structures to accommodate DOM</a></li>
2434 <li>Serious progress were made toward compliance, <a href="conf/result.html">here are the result of the test</a> against the
2435 OASIS testsuite (except the Japanese tests since I don't support that
2436 encoding yet). This URL is rebuilt every couple of hours using the CVS
2438 </ul><h3>1.8.7: Mar 6 2000</h3><ul>
2439 <li>This is a bug fix release:</li>
2440 <li>It is possible to disable the ignorable blanks heuristic used by
2441 libxml-1.x, a new function xmlKeepBlanksDefault(0) will allow this. Note
2442 that for adherence to XML spec, this behaviour will be disabled by
2443 default in 2.x . The same function will allow to keep compatibility for
2445 <li>Blanks in <a> </a> constructs are not ignored anymore,
2446 avoiding heuristic is really the Right Way :-\</li>
2447 <li>The unchecked use of snprintf which was breaking libxml-1.8.6
2448 compilation on some platforms has been fixed</li>
2449 <li>nanoftp.c nanohttp.c: Fixed '#' and '?' stripping when processing
2451 </ul><h3>1.8.6: Jan 31 2000</h3><ul>
2452 <li>added a nanoFTP transport module, debugged until the new version of <a href="http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/rpmfind.html">rpmfind</a> can use

2486 the "namespace" keyword and C escaping in include files</li>
2487 <li>a problem in one of the core macros IS_CHAR was corrected</li>
2488 <li>fixed a bug introduced in 1.8.0 breaking default namespace processing,
2489 and more specifically the Dia application</li>
2490 <li>fixed a posteriori validation (validation after parsing, or by using a
2491 Dtd not specified in the original document)</li>
2492 <li>fixed a bug in</li>
2493 </ul><h3>1.8.0: Dec 12 1999</h3><ul>
2494 <li>cleanup, especially memory wise</li>
2495 <li>the parser should be more reliable, especially the HTML one, it should
2496 not crash, whatever the input !</li>
2497 <li>Integrated various patches, especially a speedup improvement for large
2498 dataset from <a href="mailto:cnygard@bellatlantic.net">Carl Nygard</a>,
2499 configure with --with-buffers to enable them.</li>
2500 <li>attribute normalization, oops should have been added long ago !</li>
2501 <li>attributes defaulted from DTDs should be available, xmlSetProp() now

2513 <li>The basic type for strings manipulated by libxml has been renamed in
2514 1.7.1 from <strong>CHAR</strong> to <strong>xmlChar</strong>. The reason
2515 is that CHAR was conflicting with a predefined type on Windows. However
2516 on non WIN32 environment, compatibility is provided by the way of a
2517 <strong>#define </strong>.</li>
2518 <li>Changed another error : the use of a structure field called errno, and
2519 leading to troubles on platforms where it's a macro</li>

2528 <li>Added an HTML parser front-end</li>
