1815 <li>improved a lot parsing speed when there is large CDATA blocs</li>
1816 <li>includes XPath patches provided by Picdar Technology</li>
1817 <li>tried to fix as much as possible DTD validation and namespace
1818 related problems</li>
1819 <li>output to a given encoding has been added/tested</li>
1820 <li>lot of various fixes</li>
1822 </ul><h3>2.0.0: Apr 12 2000</h3><ul><li>First public release of libxml2. If you are using libxml, it's a good
1823 idea to check the 1.x to 2.x upgrade instructions. NOTE: while initially
1824 scheduled for Apr 3 the release occurred only on Apr 12 due to massive
1826 <li>The include are now located under $prefix/include/libxml (instead of
1827 $prefix/include/gnome-xml), they also are referenced by
1828 <pre>#include <libxml/xxx.h></pre>
1830 <pre>#include "xxx.h"</pre>
1832 <li>a new URI module for parsing URIs and following strictly RFC 2396</li>
1833 <li>the memory allocation routines used by libxml can now be overloaded
1834 dynamically by using xmlMemSetup()</li>
1835 <li>The previously CVS only tool tester has been renamed
1836 <strong>xmllint</strong> and is now installed as part of the libxml2
1838 <li>The I/O interface has been revamped. There is now ways to plug in
1839 specific I/O modules, either at the URI scheme detection level using
1840 xmlRegisterInputCallbacks() or by passing I/O functions when creating a
1841 parser context using xmlCreateIOParserCtxt()</li>
1842 <li>there is a C preprocessor macro LIBXML_VERSION providing the version
1843 number of the libxml module in use</li>
1844 <li>a number of optional features of libxml can now be excluded at
1845 configure time (FTP/HTTP/HTML/XPath/Debug)</li>
1846 </ul><h3>2.0.0beta: Mar 14 2000</h3><ul><li>This is a first Beta release of libxml version 2</li>
1847 <li>It's available only from<a href="ftp://xmlsoft.org/libxml2/">xmlsoft.org
1848 FTP</a>, it's packaged as libxml2-2.0.0beta and available as tar and
1850 <li>This version is now the head in the Gnome CVS base, the old one is
1851 available under the tag LIB_XML_1_X</li>
1852 <li>This includes a very large set of changes. From a programmatic point
1853 of view applications should not have to be modified too much, check the
1854 <a href="upgrade.html">upgrade page</a></li>
1855 <li>Some interfaces may changes (especially a bit about encoding).</li>
1856 <li>the updates includes:
1857 <ul><li>fix I18N support. ISO-Latin-x/UTF-8/UTF-16 (nearly) seems correctly
1859 <li>Better handling of entities, especially well-formedness checking
1860 and proper PEref extensions in external subsets</li>
1861 <li>DTD conditional sections</li>
1862 <li>Validation now correctly handle entities content</li>
1863 <li><a href="http://rpmfind.net/tools/gdome/messages/0039.html">change
1864 structures to accommodate DOM</a></li>
1866 <li>Serious progress were made toward compliance, <a href="conf/result.html">here are the result of the test</a> against the
1867 OASIS testsuite (except the Japanese tests since I don't support that
1868 encoding yet). This URL is rebuilt every couple of hours using the CVS
1870 </ul><h3>1.8.7: Mar 6 2000</h3><ul><li>This is a bug fix release:</li>
1871 <li>It is possible to disable the ignorable blanks heuristic used by
1872 libxml-1.x, a new function xmlKeepBlanksDefault(0) will allow this. Note
1873 that for adherence to XML spec, this behaviour will be disabled by
1874 default in 2.x . The same function will allow to keep compatibility for
1876 <li>Blanks in <a> </a> constructs are not ignored anymore,
1877 avoiding heuristic is really the Right Way :-\</li>
1878 <li>The unchecked use of snprintf which was breaking libxml-1.8.6
1879 compilation on some platforms has been fixed</li>
1880 <li>nanoftp.c nanohttp.c: Fixed '#' and '?' stripping when processing
1882 </ul><h3>1.8.6: Jan 31 2000</h3><ul><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

1911 the "namespace" keyword and C escaping in include files</li>
1912 <li>a problem in one of the core macros IS_CHAR was corrected</li>

1917 <li>fixed a bug in</li>
1918 </ul><h3>1.8.0: Dec 12 1999</h3><ul><li>cleanup, especially memory wise</li>
1919 <li>the parser should be more reliable, especially the HTML one, it should
1920 not crash, whatever the input !</li>
1921 <li>Integrated various patches, especially a speedup improvement for large
1922 dataset from <a href="mailto:cnygard@bellatlantic.net">Carl Nygard</a>,
1923 configure with --with-buffers to enable them.</li>

1937 on non WIN32 environment, compatibility is provided by the way of a
1938 <strong>#define </strong>.</li>
1939 <li>Changed another error : the use of a structure field called errno, and
1940 leading to troubles on platforms where it's a macro</li>
