  4. Release 2.2.2 Wed July 12 2017
  5. Security fixes:

  92. Bug fixes:

  94. relevant where XML_ExternalEntityParserCreate is called
  95. prior to XML_Parse, in particular (e.g. FBReader)
  96. #28 xmlwf: Auto-disable use of memory-mapping (and parsing

  217. - Security fixes:
  218. #2958794: CVE-2012-1148 - Memory leak in poolGrow.
  219. #2895533: CVE-2012-1147 - Resource leak in readfilemap.c.
  220. #3496608: CVE-2012-0876 - Hash DOS attack.
  221. #2894085: CVE-2009-3560 - Buffer over-read and crash in big2_toUtf8().
  222. #1990430: CVE-2009-3720 - Parser crash with special UTF-8 sequences.
  223. - Bug Fixes:
  224. #1742315: Harmful XML_ParserCreateNS suggestion.
  225. #1785430: Expat build fails on linux-amd64 with gcc version>=4.1 -O3.
  226. #1983953, 2517952, 2517962, 2649838:
  227. Build modifications using autoreconf instead of buildconf.sh.
  228. #2815947, #2884086: OBJEXT and EXEEXT support while building.
  229. #2517938: xmlwf should return non-zero exit status if not well-formed.
  230. #2517946: Wrong statement about XMLDecl in xmlwf.1 and xmlwf.sgml.
  231. #2855609: Dangling positionPtr after error.

  238. #3010222: Fix for bug #3010819.
  239. #3312568: CMake support.
  240. #3446384: Report byte offsets for attr names and values.
  241. - New Features / API changes:
  242. Added new API member XML_SetHashSalt() that allows setting an initial
  243. value (salt) for hash calculations. This is part of the fix for
  244. bug #3496608 to randomize hash parameters.
  245. When compiled with XML_ATTR_INFO defined, adds new API member
  246. XML_GetAttributeInfo() that allows retrieving the byte
  247. offsets for attribute names and values (patch #3446384).
  248. Added CMake build system.
  249. See bug #2990652 and patch #3312568.
  250. Added run-benchmark target to Makefile.in - relies on testdata module
  251. present in the same relative location as in the repository.
  252. Release 2.0.1 Tue June 5 2007
  253. - Fixed bugs #1515266, #1515600: The character data handler's calling
  254. of XML_StopParser() was not handled properly; if the parser was
  255. stopped and the handler set to NULL, the parser would segfault.
  256. - Fixed bug #1690883: Expat failed on EBCDIC systems as it assumed
  257. some character constants to be ASCII encoded.
  258. - Minor cleanups of the test harness.
  259. - Fixed xmlwf bug #1513566: "out of memory" error on file size zero.
  260. - Fixed outline.c bug #1543233: missing a final XML_ParserFree() call.
  261. - Fixes and improvements for Windows platform:
  262. bugs #1409451, #1476160, #1548182, #1602769, #1717322.
  263. - Build fixes for various platforms:
  264. HP-UX, Tru64, Solaris 9: patch #1437840, bug #1196180.
  265. All Unix: #1554618 (refreshed config.sub/config.guess).
  266. #1490371, #1613457: support both, DESTDIR and INSTALL_ROOT,
  267. without relying on GNU-Make specific features.
  268. #1647805: Patched configure.in to work better with Intel compiler.
  269. - Fixes to Makefile.in to have make check work correctly:
  270. bugs #1408143, #1535603, #1536684.
  271. - Added Open Watcom support: patch #1523242.
  272. Release 2.0.0 Wed Jan 11 2006
  273. - We no longer use the "check" library for C unit testing; we
  274. always use the (partial) internal implementation of the API.
  275. - Report XML_NS setting via XML_GetFeatureList().
  276. - Fixed headers for use from C++.
  277. - XML_GetCurrentLineNumber() and XML_GetCurrentColumnNumber()
  278. now return unsigned integers.
  279. - Added XML_LARGE_SIZE switch to enable 64-bit integers for
  280. byte indexes and line/column numbers.
  281. - Updated to use libtool 1.5.22 (the most recent).
  282. - Added support for AmigaOS.
  283. - Some mostly minor bug fixes. SF issues include: #1006708,
  284. #1021776, #1023646, #1114960, #1156398, #1221160, #1271642.
  285. Release 1.95.8 Fri Jul 23 2004
  286. - Major new feature: suspend/resume. Handlers can now request
  287. that a parse be suspended for later resumption or aborted
  288. altogether. See "Temporarily Stopping Parsing" in the
  289. documentation for more details.
  290. - Some mostly minor bug fixes, but compilation should no
  291. longer generate warnings on most platforms. SF issues
  292. include: #827319, #840173, #846309, #888329, #896188, #923913,
  293. #928113, #961698, #985192.
  294. Release 1.95.7 Mon Oct 20 2003
  295. - Fixed enum XML_Status issue (reported on SourceForge many
  296. times), so compilers that are properly picky will be happy.
  297. - Introduced an XMLCALL macro to control the calling
  298. convention used by the Expat API; this macro should be used
  299. to annotate prototypes and definitions of callback
  300. implementations in code compiled with a calling convention
  301. other than the default convention for the host platform.
  302. - Improved ability to build without the configure-generated
  303. expat_config.h header. This is useful for applications
  304. which embed Expat rather than linking in the library.
  305. - Fixed a variety of bugs: see SF issues #458907, #609603,
  306. #676844, #679754, #692878, #692964, #695401, #699323, #699487,
  307. #820946.
  308. - Improved hash table lookups.
  309. - Added more regression tests and improved documentation.
  310. Release 1.95.6 Tue Jan 28 2003
  311. - Added XML_FreeContentModel().
  312. - Added XML_MemMalloc(), XML_MemRealloc(), XML_MemFree().
  313. - Fixed a variety of bugs: see SF issues #615606, #616863,
