  388. #3446384: Report byte offsets for attr names and values.
  389. - New Features / API changes:
  390. Added new API member XML_SetHashSalt() that allows setting an initial

  392. bug #3496608 to randomize hash parameters.
  393. When compiled with XML_ATTR_INFO defined, adds new API member
  394. XML_GetAttributeInfo() that allows retrieving the byte
  395. offsets for attribute names and values (patch #3446384).
  396. Added CMake build system.
  397. See bug #2990652 and patch #3312568.
  398. Added run-benchmark target to Makefile.in - relies on testdata module
  399. present in the same relative location as in the repository.
  400. Release 2.0.1 Tue June 5 2007
  401. - Fixed bugs #1515266, #1515600: The character data handler's calling
  402. of XML_StopParser() was not handled properly; if the parser was
  403. stopped and the handler set to NULL, the parser would segfault.
  404. - Fixed bug #1690883: Expat failed on EBCDIC systems as it assumed
  405. some character constants to be ASCII encoded.
  406. - Minor cleanups of the test harness.
  407. - Fixed xmlwf bug #1513566: "out of memory" error on file size zero.
  408. - Fixed outline.c bug #1543233: missing a final XML_ParserFree() call.
  409. - Fixes and improvements for Windows platform:
  410. bugs #1409451, #1476160, #1548182, #1602769, #1717322.

  412. HP-UX, Tru64, Solaris 9: patch #1437840, bug #1196180.
  413. All Unix: #1554618 (refreshed config.sub/config.guess).
  414. #1490371, #1613457: support both, DESTDIR and INSTALL_ROOT,
  415. without relying on GNU-Make specific features.
  416. #1647805: Patched configure.in to work better with Intel compiler.
  417. - Fixes to Makefile.in to have make check work correctly:
  418. bugs #1408143, #1535603, #1536684.
  419. - Added Open Watcom support: patch #1523242.
  420. Release 2.0.0 Wed Jan 11 2006
  421. - We no longer use the "check" library for C unit testing; we
  422. always use the (partial) internal implementation of the API.
  423. - Report XML_NS setting via XML_GetFeatureList().
  424. - Fixed headers for use from C++.
  425. - XML_GetCurrentLineNumber() and XML_GetCurrentColumnNumber()
  426. now return unsigned integers.
  427. - Added XML_LARGE_SIZE switch to enable 64-bit integers for
  428. byte indexes and line/column numbers.
  429. - Updated to use libtool 1.5.22 (the most recent).
  430. - Added support for AmigaOS.
  431. - Some mostly minor bug fixes. SF issues include: #1006708,
  432. #1021776, #1023646, #1114960, #1156398, #1221160, #1271642.
  433. Release 1.95.8 Fri Jul 23 2004
  434. - Major new feature: suspend/resume. Handlers can now request
  435. that a parse be suspended for later resumption or aborted
  436. altogether. See "Temporarily Stopping Parsing" in the
  437. documentation for more details.
  438. - Some mostly minor bug fixes, but compilation should no
  439. longer generate warnings on most platforms. SF issues
  440. include: #827319, #840173, #846309, #888329, #896188, #923913,
  441. #928113, #961698, #985192.
  442. Release 1.95.7 Mon Oct 20 2003
  443. - Fixed enum XML_Status issue (reported on SourceForge many
  444. times), so compilers that are properly picky will be happy.
  445. - Introduced an XMLCALL macro to control the calling
  446. convention used by the Expat API; this macro should be used
  447. to annotate prototypes and definitions of callback
  448. implementations in code compiled with a calling convention
  449. other than the default convention for the host platform.
  450. - Improved ability to build without the configure-generated
  451. expat_config.h header. This is useful for applications
  452. which embed Expat rather than linking in the library.
  453. - Fixed a variety of bugs: see SF issues #458907, #609603,
  454. #676844, #679754, #692878, #692964, #695401, #699323, #699487,

  457. - Added more regression tests and improved documentation.
  458. Release 1.95.6 Tue Jan 28 2003
  459. - Added XML_FreeContentModel().
  460. - Added XML_MemMalloc(), XML_MemRealloc(), XML_MemFree().
  461. - Fixed a variety of bugs: see SF issues #615606, #616863,
  462. #618199, #653180, #673791.
  463. - Enhanced the regression test suite.
  464. - Man page improvements: includes SF issue #632146.
  465. Release 1.95.5 Fri Sep 6 2002
  466. - Added XML_UseForeignDTD() for improved SAX2 support.
  467. - Added XML_GetFeatureList().
  468. - Defined XML_Bool type and the values XML_TRUE and XML_FALSE.
  469. - Use an incomplete struct instead of a void* for the parser
  470. (may not retain).
  471. - Fixed UTF-8 decoding bug that caused legal UTF-8 to be rejected.
  472. - Finally fixed bug where default handler would report DTD
  473. events that were already handled by another handler.
  474. Initial patch contributed by Darryl Miles.
  475. - Removed unnecessary DllMain() function that caused static
  476. linking into a DLL to be difficult.
  477. - Added VC++ projects for building static libraries.
  478. - Reduced line-length for all source code and headers to be
  479. no longer than 80 characters, to help with AS/400 support.
  480. - Reduced memory copying during parsing (SF patch #600964).
  481. - Fixed a variety of bugs: see SF issues #580793, #434664,
  482. #483514, #580503, #581069, #584041, #584183, #584832, #585537,
  483. #596555, #596678, #598352, #598944, #599715, #600479, #600971.

  485. - Added support for VMS, contributed by Craig Berry. See
  486. vms/README.vms for more information.
  487. - Added Mac OS (classic) support, with a makefile for MPW,
  488. contributed by Thomas Wegner and Daryle Walker.
  489. - Added Borland C++ Builder 5 / BCC 5.5 support, contributed
  490. by Patrick McConnell (SF patch #538032).
  491. - Fixed a variety of bugs: see SF issues #441449, #563184,
  492. #564342, #566334, #566901, #569461, #570263, #575168, #579196.
  493. - Made skippedEntityHandler conform to SAX2 (see source comment)
  494. - Re-implemented WFC: Entity Declared from XML 1.0 spec and
  495. added a new error "entity declared in parameter entity":
  496. see SF bug report #569461 and SF patch #578161
  497. - Re-implemented section 5.1 from XML 1.0 spec:
  498. see SF bug report #570263 and SF patch #578161
  499. Release 1.95.3 Mon Jun 3 2002
  500. - Added a project to the MSVC workspace to create a wchar_t
  501. version of the library; the DLLs are named libexpatw.dll.
  502. - Changed the name of the Windows DLLs from expat.dll to
  503. libexpat.dll; this fixes SF bug #432456.
  504. - Added the XML_ParserReset() API function.
  505. - Fixed XML_SetReturnNSTriplet() to work for element names.
  506. - Made the XML_UNICODE builds usable (thanks, Karl!).
  507. - Allow xmlwf to read from standard input.
  508. - Install a man page for xmlwf on Unix systems.
  509. - Fixed many bugs; see SF bug reports #231864, #461380, #464837,

  511. #547350. Other bugs which we can't test as easily may also
  512. have been fixed, especially in the area of build support.
  513. Release 1.95.2 Fri Jul 27 2001
  514. - More changes to make MSVC happy with the build; add a single
  515. workspace to support both the library and xmlwf application.

  527. - Removed all aborts and instead return an UNEXPECTED_STATE error.
  528. - Fixed a bug where a stray '%' in an entity value would cause an
  529. abort.
  530. - Defined XML_SetEndNamespaceDeclHandler. Thanks to Darryl Miles for
  531. finding this oversight.
  532. - Changed default patterns in lib/Makefile.in to fit non-GNU makes
  533. Thanks to [email protected] for reporting and providing an
  534. account to test on.
  535. - The reference had the wrong label for XML_SetStartNamespaceDecl.
  536. Reported by an anonymous user.
  537. Release 1.95.0 Fri Sep 29 2000

  539. Allows you to set a memory management suite to replace the
  540. standard malloc,realloc, and free.
  541. - XML_SetReturnNSTriplet
  542. If you turn this feature on when namespace processing is in

  545. separator character is used in namespace processing.

  552. sysid, pubid, has_internal_subset
  553. o Many paired handler setters (like XML_SetElementHandler)
  554. now have corresponding individual handler setters
  555. o XML_GetInputContext for getting the input context of
  556. the current parse position.
  557. - Added reference material
  558. - Packaged into a distribution that builds a sharable library
