  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.
  48         - Build fixes for various platforms:
  49           HP-UX, Tru64, Solaris 9: patch #1437840, bug #1196180.
  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

 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.

 152         - Install a man page for xmlwf on Unix systems.
 153         - Fixed many bugs; see SF bug reports #231864, #461380, #464837,
 154           #466885, #469226, #477667, #484419, #487840, #494749, #496505,
 155           #547350.  Other bugs which we can't test as easily may also
 156           have been fixed, especially in the area of build support.
 157
 158 Release 1.95.2 Fri Jul 27 2001
 159         - More changes to make MSVC happy with the build; add a single
 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
 165         - Removed a lot of GNU-specific dependencies to aide portability
 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
 175           abort.
 176         - Defined XML_SetEndNamespaceDeclHandler. Thanks to Darryl Miles for
 177           finding this oversight.
 178         - Changed default patterns in lib/Makefile.in to fit non-GNU makes
 179           Thanks to robin@unrated.net for reporting and providing an
 180           account to test on.
 181         - The reference had the wrong label for XML_SetStartNamespaceDecl.
 182           Reported by an anonymous user.
 183
 184 Release 1.95.0 Fri Sep 29 2000
 185         - XML_ParserCreate_MM
 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
