  Major revision release: should be API and ABI compatible but got a lot
    of changeIncreased the library modularity, far more options can be stripped out,
    a --with-minimum configuration will weight around 160KBytesUse per parser and per document dictionnary, allocate names and small
    text nodes from the dictionnarySwitch to a SAX2 like parser rewrote most of the XML parser core,
    provides namespace resolution and defaulted attributes, minimize memory
    allocations and copies, namespace checking and specific error handling,
    immutable buffers, make predefined entities static structures, etc...rewrote all the error handling in the library, all errors can be
    intercepted at a structured level, with precise information
  available.New simpler and more generic XML and HTML parser APIs, allowing to
    easilly modify the parsing options and reuse parser context for multiple
    consecutive documents.Similar new APIs for the xmlReader, for options and reuse, provided new
    functions to access content as const strings, use them for Python
  bindingsa  lot of other smaller API improvements: xmlStrPrintf (Aleksey Sanin),
    Walker i.e. reader on a document tree based on Alfred Mickautsch code,
    make room in nodes for line numbers, reference counting and future PSVI
    extensions, generation of character ranges to be checked with faster
    algorithm (William),  xmlParserMaxDepth (Crutcher Dunnavant), buffer
    accessNew xmlWriter API provided by Alfred MickautschSchemas: base64 support by Anthony CarricoParser<->HTTP integration fix, proper processing of the Mime-Type

Schemas structures and datatypes code, beware, all
interfaces are likely to change, there is huge holes, it is clearly a work in
progress and don't even think of putting this code in a production system,
it's actually not compiled in by default. The real fixes are:

  fixes a couple of bugs in the 2.1.0 packagingimprovements on the HTML parser 2.1.0 and 1.8.8: June 29 2000
  1.8.8 is mostly a commodity package for upgrading to libxml2 according
    to new instructions. It fixes a nasty problem
    about & charref parsing2.1.0 also ease the upgrade from libxml v1 to the recent version. it
    also contains numerous fixes and enhancements:
    
      added xmlStopParser() to stop parsingimproved a lot parsing speed when there is large CDATA blocsincludes XPath patches provided by Picdar Technologytried to fix as much as possible DTD validation and namespace
        related problemsoutput to a given encoding has been added/testedlot of various fixes 2.0.0: Apr 12 2000
  First public release of libxml2. If you are using libxml, it's a good
    idea to check the 1.x to 2.x upgrade instructions. NOTE: while initially
    scheduled for Apr 3 the release occurred only on Apr 12 due to massive
    workload.The include are now located under $prefix/include/libxml (instead of
    $prefix/include/gnome-xml), they also are referenced by
    #include <libxml/xxx.h> instead of #include "xxx.h"a new URI module for parsing URIs and following strictly RFC 2396the memory allocation routines used by libxml can now be overloaded
    dynamically by using xmlMemSetup()The previously CVS only tool tester has been renamed
    xmllint and is now installed as part of the libxml2
    packageThe I/O interface has been revamped. There is now ways to plug in
    specific I/O modules, either at the URI scheme detection level using
    xmlRegisterInputCallbacks()  or by passing I/O functions when creating a
    parser context using xmlCreateIOParserCtxt()there is a C preprocessor macro LIBXML_VERSION providing the version
    number of the libxml module in usea number of optional features of libxml can now be excluded at
    configure time (FTP/HTTP/HTML/XPath/Debug) 2.0.0beta: Mar 14 2000
  This is a first Beta release of libxml version 2It's available only fromxmlsoft.org
    FTP, it's packaged as libxml2-2.0.0beta and available as tar and
  RPMsThis version is now the head in the Gnome CVS base, the old one is
    available under the tag LIB_XML_1_XThis includes a very large set of changes. From a  programmatic point
    of view applications should not have to be modified too much, check the
    upgrade pageSome interfaces may changes (especially a bit about encoding).the updates includes:
    
      fix I18N support. ISO-Latin-x/UTF-8/UTF-16 (nearly) seems correctly
        handled nowBetter handling of entities, especially well-formedness checking
        and proper PEref extensions in external subsetsDTD conditional sectionsValidation now correctly handle entities contentchange
        structures to accommodate DOMSerious progress were made toward compliance, here are the result of the test against the
    OASIS testsuite (except the Japanese tests since I don't support that
    encoding yet). This URL is rebuilt every couple of hours using the CVS
    head version. 1.8.7: Mar 6 2000
  This is a bug fix release:It is possible to disable the ignorable blanks heuristic used by
    libxml-1.x, a new function  xmlKeepBlanksDefault(0) will allow this. Note
    that for adherence to XML spec, this behaviour will be disabled by
    default in 2.x . The same function will allow to keep compatibility for
    old code.Blanks in <a>  </a> constructs are not ignored anymore,
    avoiding heuristic is really the Right Way :-\The unchecked use of snprintf which was breaking libxml-1.8.6
    compilation on some platforms has been fixednanoftp.c nanohttp.c: Fixed '#' and '?' stripping when processing
  URIs 1.8.6: Jan 31 2000
  added a nanoFTP transport module, debugged until the new version of rpmfind can use
    it without troubles 1.8.5: Jan 21 2000
  adding APIs to parse a well balanced chunk of XML (production [43] content of the
    XML spec)fixed a hideous bug in xmlGetProp pointed by Rune.Djurhuus@fast.noJody Goldberg <jgoldberg@home.com> provided another patch trying
    to solve the zlib checks problemsThe current state in gnome CVS base is expected to ship as 1.8.5 with
    gnumeric soon 1.8.4: Jan 13 2000
  bug fixes, reintroduced xmlNewGlobalNs(), fixed xmlNewNs()all exit() call should have been removed from libxmlfixed a problem with INCLUDE_WINSOCK on WIN32 platformadded newDocFragment() 1.8.3: Jan 5 2000
  a Push interface for the XML and HTML parsersa shell-like interface to the document tree (try tester --shell :-)lots of bug fixes and improvement added over XMas holidaysfixed the DTD parsing code to work with the xhtml DTDadded xmlRemoveProp(), xmlRemoveID() and xmlRemoveRef()Fixed bugs in xmlNewNs()External entity loading code has been revamped, now it uses
    xmlLoadExternalEntity(), some fix on entities processing were addedcleaned up WIN32 includes of socket stuff 1.8.2: Dec 21 1999
  I got another problem with includes and C++, I hope this issue is fixed
    for good this timeAdded a few tree modification functions: xmlReplaceNode,
    xmlAddPrevSibling, xmlAddNextSibling, xmlNodeSetName and
    xmlDocSetRootElementTried to improve the HTML output with help from Chris Lahey 1.8.1: Dec 18 1999
  various patches to avoid troubles when using libxml with C++ compilers
    the "namespace" keyword and C escaping in include filesa problem in one of the core macros IS_CHAR was correctedfixed a bug introduced in 1.8.0 breaking default namespace processing,
    and more specifically the Dia applicationfixed a posteriori validation (validation after parsing, or by using a
    Dtd not specified in the original document)fixed a bug in 1.8.0: Dec 12 1999
  cleanup, especially memory wisethe parser should be more reliable, especially the HTML one, it should
    not crash, whatever the input !Integrated various patches, especially a speedup improvement for large
    dataset from Carl Nygard,
    configure with --with-buffers to enable them.attribute normalization, oops should have been added long ago !attributes defaulted from DTDs should be available, xmlSetProp() now
    does entities escaping by default. 1.7.4: Oct 25 1999
  Lots of HTML improvementFixed some errors when saving both XML and HTMLMore examples, the regression tests should now look cleanFixed a bug with contiguous charref 1.7.3: Sep 29 1999
  portability problems fixedsnprintf was used unconditionally, leading to link problems on system
    were it's not available, fixed 1.7.1: Sep 24 1999
  The basic type for strings manipulated by libxml has been renamed in
    1.7.1 from CHAR to xmlChar. The reason
    is that CHAR was conflicting with a predefined type on Windows. However
    on non WIN32 environment, compatibility is provided by the way of  a
    #define .Changed another error : the use of a structure field called errno, and
    leading to troubles on platforms where it's a macro 1.7.0: Sep 23 1999
  Added the ability to fetch remote DTD or parsed entities, see the nanohttp module.Added an errno to report errors by another mean than a simple printf
    like callbackFinished ID/IDREF support and checking when validationSerious memory leaks fixed (there is now a memory wrapper module)Improvement of XPath
    implementationAdded an HTML parser front-end Daniel Veillard |
