   1 SUMMARY
   2 =======
   3 This is a port of expat for AmigaOS 4.x which includes the
   4 SDK, some XML tools and the libraries.
   5
   6 Four library flavours are supported:
   7 1. static clib2 (libexpat.a)
   8 2. static newlib (libexpat.a)
   9 3. AmigaOS library (expat.library)
  10 4. AmigaOS shared object library (libexpat.so)
  11
  12 The AmigaOS library version is based on the work of Fredrik Wikstrom.

  27 CONFIGURATION
  28 =============
  29 You may want to edit the lib/amigaconfig.h file to remove
  30 DTD and/or XML namespace support if they are not required by your
  31 specific application for a smaller and faster implementation.

  40 HISTORY
  41 =======
  42 53.1 - bumped version to match AmigaOS streaming
  43      - modified to remove all global variables (except INewLib)
  44      - removed replacements for malloc(), etc. which are now
  45        handled by the respective C library
  46      - compiled with the latest binutils which bumps the
  47        AMIGAOS_DYNVERSION to 2 for the libexpat.so target
  48      - now strips the expat.library binary
  49
  50 5.2  - fixed XML_Parse 68k stub which enables xmlviewer to work
  51        without crashing
  52      - added some new functions to the 68k jump table available
  53        in the latest expat.library for AmigaOS 3.x
  54      - patches provided by Fredrik Wikstrom
  55
  56 5.1  - fixed package archive which was missing libexpat.so
  57      - fixed library protection bits
  58      - fixed up copyright notices
  59
  60 5.0  - integrated 68k patches from Fredrik Wikstrom which means
  61        expat.library is now callable from 68k code
  62      - bumped version for the addition of the 68k interface so
  63        executables can explicitly ask for version 5 and know
  64        it includes the 68k interface
  65      - refactored Makefile to avoid recursive make calls and
  66        build all the library flavours
  67      - added static newlib version
  68      - added shared objects version
  69      - added package target to Makefile
