If you are using libxml, it's agoodidea to check the 1.x to 2.x upgrade instructions. NOTE: whileinitiallyscheduled for Apr 3 the release occurred only on Apr 12 due tomassiveworkload. The include are now located under $prefix/include/libxml (insteadof$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 2396 the memory allocation routines used by libxml can now beoverloadeddynamically by using xmlMemSetup() The previously CVS only tool tester has beenrenamedxmllintand is now installed as part of thelibxml2package The I/O interface has been revamped. There is now ways to pluginspecific I/O modules, either at the URI scheme detection levelusingxmlRegisterInputCallbacks() or by passing I/O functions whencreating aparser context using xmlCreateIOParserCtxt() there is a C preprocessor macro LIBXML_VERSION providing theversionnumber of the libxml module in use a number of optional features of libxml can now be excluded atconfiguretime (FTP/HTTP/HTML/XPath/Debug) ### 2.0.0beta: Mar 14 2000 This is a first Beta release of libxml version 2 It's available only fromxmlsoft.orgFTP, it's packaged aslibxml2-2.0.0beta and available as tar andRPMs This version is now the head in the Gnome CVS base, the old oneisavailable under the tag LIB_XML_1_X This includes a very large set of changes. From a programmatic pointofview applications should not have to be modified too much, check theupgrade page Some interfaces may changes (especially a bit about encoding). the updates includes: fix I18N support. ISO-Latin-x/UTF-8/UTF-16 (nearly) seemscorrectlyhandled now Better handling of entities, especially well-formedness checkingandproper PEref extensions in external subsets DTD conditional sections Validation now correctly handle entities content changestructuresto accommodate DOM Serious progress were made toward compliance, here are the result of the testagainsttheOASIS testsuite (except the Japanese tests since I don't supportthatencoding yet). This URL is rebuilt every couple of hours using theCVShead version. ### 1.8.7: Mar 6 2000 This is a bug fix release: It is possible to disable the ignorable blanks heuristic usedbylibxml-1.x, a new function xmlKeepBlanksDefault(0) will allow this.Notethat for adherence to XML spec, this behaviour will be disabledbydefault in 2.x . The same function will allow to keep compatibilityforold code. Blanks in <a> </a> constructs are not ignoredanymore,avoiding heuristic is really the Right Way :-\ The unchecked use of snprintf which was breakinglibxml-1.8.6compilation on some platforms has been fixed nanoftp.c nanohttp.c: Fixed '#' and '?' stripping whenprocessingURIs ### 1.8.6: Jan 31 2000 added a nanoFTP transport module, debugged until the new version of rpmfindcanuseit without troubles ### 1.8.5: Jan 21 2000 adding APIs to parse a well balanced chunk of XML (production [43] contentof theXMLspec) fixed a hideous bug in xmlGetProp pointed by Rune.Djurhuus@fast.no Jody Goldberg <jgoldberg@home.com> provided another patchtryingto solve the zlib checks problems The current state in gnome CVS base is expected to ship as 1.8.5withgnumeric soon ### 1.8.4: Jan 13 2000 bug fixes, reintroduced xmlNewGlobalNs(), fixed xmlNewNs() all exit() call should have been removed from libxml fixed a problem with INCLUDE_WINSOCK on WIN32 platform added newDocFragment() ### 1.8.3: Jan 5 2000 a Push interface for the XML and HTML parsers a shell-like interface to the document tree (try tester --shell :-) lots of bug fixes and improvement added over XMas holidays fixed the DTD parsing code to work with the xhtml DTD added xmlRemoveProp(), xmlRemoveID() and xmlRemoveRef() Fixed bugs in xmlNewNs() External entity loading code has been revamped, now itusesxmlLoadExternalEntity(), some fix on entities processing wereadded cleaned up WIN32 includes of socket stuff ### 1.8.2: Dec 21 1999 I got another problem with includes and C++, I hope this issue isfixedfor good this time Added a few tree modification functions:xmlReplaceNode,xmlAddPrevSibling, xmlAddNextSibling, xmlNodeSetNameandxmlDocSetRootElement Tried 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++compilersthe "namespace" keyword and C escaping in include files a problem in one of the core macros IS_CHAR was corrected fixed a bug introduced in 1.8.0 breaking default namespaceprocessing,and more specifically the Dia application fixed a posteriori validation (validation after parsing, or by usingaDtd not specified in the original document) fixed a bug in ### 1.8.0: Dec 12 1999 cleanup, especially memory wise the parser should be more reliable, especially the HTML one, itshouldnot crash, whatever the input ! Integrated various patches, especially a speedup improvement forlargedataset from CarlNygard,configure with --with-buffers to enable them. attribute normalization, oops should have been added long ago ! attributes defaulted from DTDs should be available, xmlSetProp()nowdoes entities escaping by default. ### 1.7.4: Oct 25 1999 Lots of HTML improvement Fixed some errors when saving both XML and HTML More examples, the regression tests should now look clean Fixed a bug with contiguous charref ### 1.7.3: Sep 29 1999 portability problems fixed snprintf was used unconditionally, leading to link problems onsystemwere it's not available, fixed ### 1.7.1: Sep 24 1999 The basic type for strings manipulated by libxml has been renamedin1.7.1 from CHARto xmlChar. Thereasonis that CHAR was conflicting with a predefined type on Windows.Howeveron non WIN32 environment, compatibility is provided by the way ofa#define . Changed another error : the use of a structure field called errno,andleading 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 nanohttpmodule. Added an errno to report errors by another mean than a simpleprintflike callback Finished ID/IDREF support and checking when validation Serious memory leaks fixed (there is now a memory wrappermodule) Improvement of XPathimplementation Added an HTML parser front-end Daniel Veillard
