| 32 | Added CMake build system. |
| 33 | See bug #2990652 and patch #3312568. |
| 34 | Added run-benchmark target to Makefile.in - relies on testdata module |
| 35 | present in the same relative location as in the repository. |
| 36 | |
| 37 | Release 2.0.1 Tue June 5 2007 |
| 38 | - Fixed bugs #1515266, #1515600: The character data handler's calling |
| 39 | of XML_StopParser() was not handled properly; if the parser was |
| 40 | stopped and the handler set to NULL, the parser would segfault. |
| 41 | - Fixed bug #1690883: Expat failed on EBCDIC systems as it assumed |
| 42 | some character constants to be ASCII encoded. |
| 43 | - Minor cleanups of the test harness. |
| 44 | - Fixed xmlwf bug #1513566: "out of memory" error on file size zero. |
| 45 | - Fixed outline.c bug #1543233: missing a final XML_ParserFree() call. |
| 46 | - Fixes and improvements for Windows platform: |
| 47 | bugs #1409451, #1476160, #1548182, #1602769, #1717322. |

| 50 | All Unix: #1554618 (refreshed config.sub/config.guess). |
| 51 | #1490371, #1613457: support both, DESTDIR and INSTALL_ROOT, |
| 52 | without relying on GNU-Make specific features. |
| 53 | #1647805: Patched configure.in to work better with Intel compiler. |
| 54 | - Fixes to Makefile.in to have make check work correctly: |
| 55 | bugs #1408143, #1535603, #1536684. |
| 56 | - Added Open Watcom support: patch #1523242. |
| 57 | |
| 58 | Release 2.0.0 Wed Jan 11 2006 |
| 59 | - We no longer use the "check" library for C unit testing; we |
| 60 | always use the (partial) internal implementation of the API. |
| 61 | - Report XML_NS setting via XML_GetFeatureList(). |
| 62 | - Fixed headers for use from C++. |
| 63 | - XML_GetCurrentLineNumber() and XML_GetCurrentColumnNumber() |
| 64 | now return unsigned integers. |
| 65 | - Added XML_LARGE_SIZE switch to enable 64-bit integers for |
| 66 | byte indexes and line/column numbers. |
| 67 | - Updated to use libtool 1.5.22 (the most recent). |
| 68 | - Added support for AmigaOS. |
| 69 | - Some mostly minor bug fixes. SF issues include: #1006708, |
| 70 | #1021776, #1023646, #1114960, #1156398, #1221160, #1271642. |
| 71 | |
| 72 | Release 1.95.8 Fri Jul 23 2004 |
| 73 | - Major new feature: suspend/resume. Handlers can now request |
| 74 | that a parse be suspended for later resumption or aborted |
| 75 | altogether. See "Temporarily Stopping Parsing" in the |
| 76 | documentation for more details. |
| 77 | - Some mostly minor bug fixes, but compilation should no |
| 78 | longer generate warnings on most platforms. SF issues |
| 79 | include: #827319, #840173, #846309, #888329, #896188, #923913, |
| 80 | #928113, #961698, #985192. |
| 81 | |
| 82 | Release 1.95.7 Mon Oct 20 2003 |
| 83 | - Fixed enum XML_Status issue (reported on SourceForge many |
| 84 | times), so compilers that are properly picky will be happy. |
| 85 | - Introduced an XMLCALL macro to control the calling |
| 86 | convention used by the Expat API; this macro should be used |
| 87 | to annotate prototypes and definitions of callback |
| 88 | implementations in code compiled with a calling convention |
| 89 | other than the default convention for the host platform. |
| 90 | - Improved ability to build without the configure-generated |
| 91 | expat_config.h header. This is useful for applications |
| 92 | which embed Expat rather than linking in the library. |
| 93 | - Fixed a variety of bugs: see SF issues #458907, #609603, |
| 94 | #676844, #679754, #692878, #692964, #695401, #699323, #699487, |
| 95 | #820946. |
| 96 | - Improved hash table lookups. |
| 97 | - Added more regression tests and improved documentation. |
| 98 | |
| 99 | Release 1.95.6 Tue Jan 28 2003 |
| 100 | - Added XML_FreeContentModel(). |
| 101 | - Added XML_MemMalloc(), XML_MemRealloc(), XML_MemFree(). |
| 102 | - Fixed a variety of bugs: see SF issues #615606, #616863, |
| 103 | #618199, #653180, #673791. |
| 104 | - Enhanced the regression test suite. |
| 105 | - Man page improvements: includes SF issue #632146. |
| 106 | |
| 107 | Release 1.95.5 Fri Sep 6 2002 |
| 108 | - Added XML_UseForeignDTD() for improved SAX2 support. |
| 109 | - Added XML_GetFeatureList(). |
| 110 | - Defined XML_Bool type and the values XML_TRUE and XML_FALSE. |
| 111 | - Use an incomplete struct instead of a void* for the parser |
| 112 | (may not retain). |
| 113 | - Fixed UTF-8 decoding bug that caused legal UTF-8 to be rejected. |
| 114 | - Finally fixed bug where default handler would report DTD |
| 115 | events that were already handled by another handler. |
| 116 | Initial patch contributed by Darryl Miles. |
| 117 | - Removed unnecessary DllMain() function that caused static |
| 118 | linking into a DLL to be difficult. |
| 119 | - Added VC++ projects for building static libraries. |
| 120 | - Reduced line-length for all source code and headers to be |
| 121 | no longer than 80 characters, to help with AS/400 support. |
| 122 | - Reduced memory copying during parsing (SF patch #600964). |
| 123 | - Fixed a variety of bugs: see SF issues #580793, #434664, |
| 124 | #483514, #580503, #581069, #584041, #584183, #584832, #585537, |
| 125 | #596555, #596678, #598352, #598944, #599715, #600479, #600971. |
| 126 | |
| 127 | Release 1.95.4 Fri Jul 12 2002 |
| 128 | - Added support for VMS, contributed by Craig Berry. See |
| 129 | vms/README.vms for more information. |
| 130 | - Added Mac OS (classic) support, with a makefile for MPW, |
| 131 | contributed by Thomas Wegner and Daryle Walker. |
| 132 | - Added Borland C++ Builder 5 / BCC 5.5 support, contributed |
| 133 | by Patrick McConnell (SF patch #538032). |
| 134 | - Fixed a variety of bugs: see SF issues #441449, #563184, |
| 135 | #564342, #566334, #566901, #569461, #570263, #575168, #579196. |
| 136 | - Made skippedEntityHandler conform to SAX2 (see source comment) |
| 137 | - Re-implemented WFC: Entity Declared from XML 1.0 spec and |
| 138 | added a new error "entity declared in parameter entity": |
| 139 | see SF bug report #569461 and SF patch #578161 |
| 140 | - Re-implemented section 5.1 from XML 1.0 spec: |
| 141 | see SF bug report #570263 and SF patch #578161 |
| 142 | |
| 143 | Release 1.95.3 Mon Jun 3 2002 |
| 144 | - Added a project to the MSVC workspace to create a wchar_t |
| 145 | version of the library; the DLLs are named libexpatw.dll. |
| 146 | - Changed the name of the Windows DLLs from expat.dll to |
| 147 | libexpat.dll; this fixes SF bug #432456. |
| 148 | - Added the XML_ParserReset() API function. |
| 149 | - Fixed XML_SetReturnNSTriplet() to work for element names. |
| 150 | - Made the XML_UNICODE builds usable (thanks, Karl!). |
| 151 | - Allow xmlwf to read from standard input. |

| 160 | workspace to support both the library and xmlwf application. |
| 161 | - Added a Windows installer for Windows users; includes |
| 162 | xmlwf.exe. |
| 163 | - Added compile-time constants that can be used to determine the |
| 164 | Expat version |

| 166 | among the various Unix flavors. |
| 167 | - Fix the UTF-8 BOM bug. |
| 168 | - Cleaned up warning messages for several compilers. |
| 169 | - Added the -Wall, -Wstrict-prototypes options for GCC. |
| 170 | |
| 171 | Release 1.95.1 Sun Oct 22 15:11:36 EDT 2000 |
| 172 | - Changes to get expat to build under Microsoft compiler |
| 173 | - Removed all aborts and instead return an UNEXPECTED_STATE error. |
| 174 | - Fixed a bug where a stray '%' in an entity value would cause an |

| 186 | Allows you to set a memory management suite to replace the |
| 187 | standard malloc,realloc, and free. |
| 188 | - XML_SetReturnNSTriplet |
| 189 | If you turn this feature on when namespace processing is in |
| 190 | effect, then qualified, prefixed element and attribute names |
| 191 | are returned as "uri|name|prefix" where '|' is whatever |
| 192 | separator character is used in namespace processing. |
| 193 | - Merged in features from perl-expat |
| 194 | o XML_SetElementDeclHandler |
| 195 | o XML_SetAttlistDeclHandler |
| 196 | o XML_SetXmlDeclHandler |
| 197 | o XML_SetEntityDeclHandler |
| 198 | o StartDoctypeDeclHandler takes 3 additional parameters: |
| 199 | sysid, pubid, has_internal_subset |
| 200 | o Many paired handler setters (like XML_SetElementHandler) |
| 201 | now have corresponding individual handler setters |
| 202 | o XML_GetInputContext for getting the input context of |
| 203 | the current parse position. |
| 204 | - Added reference material |
| 205 | - Packaged into a distribution that builds a sharable library |
