   2665 </ul><h3>2.1.0 and 1.8.8: June 29 2000</h3><ul>
   2666   <li>1.8.8 is mostly a commodity package for upgrading to libxml2 according
   2667     to <a href="upgrade.html">new instructions</a>. It fixes a nasty problem
   2668     about &amp;#38; charref parsing</li>
   2669   <li>2.1.0 also ease the upgrade from libxml v1 to the recent version. it
   2670     also contains numerous fixes and enhancements:

   2679     </ul>
   2680   </li>
   2681 </ul><h3>2.0.0: Apr 12 2000</h3><ul>
   2682   <li>First public release of libxml2. If you are using libxml, it's a good
   2683     idea to check the 1.x to 2.x upgrade instructions. NOTE: while initially
   2684     scheduled for Apr 3 the release occurred only on Apr 12 due to massive
   2685     workload.</li>
   2686   <li>The include are now located under $prefix/include/libxml (instead of
   2687     $prefix/include/gnome-xml), they also are referenced by
   2688     <pre>#include &lt;libxml/xxx.h&gt;</pre>
   2689     <p>instead of</p>
   2690     <pre>#include "xxx.h"</pre>
   2691   </li>
   2692   <li>a new URI module for parsing URIs and following strictly RFC 2396</li>
   2693   <li>the memory allocation routines used by libxml can now be overloaded
   2694     dynamically by using xmlMemSetup()</li>
   2695   <li>The previously CVS only tool tester has been renamed
   2696     <strong>xmllint</strong> and is now installed as part of the libxml2
   2697     package</li>
   2698   <li>The I/O interface has been revamped. There is now ways to plug in
   2699     specific I/O modules, either at the URI scheme detection level using
   2700     xmlRegisterInputCallbacks()  or by passing I/O functions when creating a
   2701     parser context using xmlCreateIOParserCtxt()</li>
   2702   <li>there is a C preprocessor macro LIBXML_VERSION providing the version
   2703     number of the libxml module in use</li>
   2704   <li>a number of optional features of libxml can now be excluded at
   2705     configure time (FTP/HTTP/HTML/XPath/Debug)</li>
   2706 </ul><h3>2.0.0beta: Mar 14 2000</h3><ul>
   2707   <li>This is a first Beta release of libxml version 2</li>
   2708   <li>It's available only from<a href="ftp://xmlsoft.org/libxml2/">xmlsoft.org
   2709     FTP</a>, it's packaged as libxml2-2.0.0beta and available as tar and
   2710   RPMs</li>
   2711   <li>This version is now the head in the Gnome CVS base, the old one is
   2712     available under the tag LIB_XML_1_X</li>
   2713   <li>This includes a very large set of changes. From a  programmatic point
   2714     of view applications should not have to be modified too much, check the
   2715     <a href="upgrade.html">upgrade page</a></li>
   2716   <li>Some interfaces may changes (especially a bit about encoding).</li>
   2717   <li>the updates includes:
   2718     <ul>
   2719       <li>fix I18N support. ISO-Latin-x/UTF-8/UTF-16 (nearly) seems correctly
   2720         handled now</li>
   2721       <li>Better handling of entities, especially well-formedness checking
   2722         and proper PEref extensions in external subsets</li>
   2723       <li>DTD conditional sections</li>
   2724       <li>Validation now correctly handle entities content</li>
   2725       <li><a href="http://rpmfind.net/tools/gdome/messages/0039.html">change
   2726         structures to accommodate DOM</a></li>
   2727     </ul>
   2728   </li>
   2729   <li>Serious progress were made toward compliance, <a href="conf/result.html">here are the result of the test</a> against the
   2730     OASIS testsuite (except the Japanese tests since I don't support that
   2731     encoding yet). This URL is rebuilt every couple of hours using the CVS
   2732     head version.</li>
   2733 </ul><h3>1.8.7: Mar 6 2000</h3><ul>
   2734   <li>This is a bug fix release:</li>
   2735   <li>It is possible to disable the ignorable blanks heuristic used by
   2736     libxml-1.x, a new function  xmlKeepBlanksDefault(0) will allow this. Note
   2737     that for adherence to XML spec, this behaviour will be disabled by
   2738     default in 2.x . The same function will allow to keep compatibility for
   2739     old code.</li>
   2740   <li>Blanks in &lt;a&gt;  &lt;/a&gt; constructs are not ignored anymore,
   2741     avoiding heuristic is really the Right Way :-\</li>
   2742   <li>The unchecked use of snprintf which was breaking libxml-1.8.6
   2743     compilation on some platforms has been fixed</li>
   2744   <li>nanoftp.c nanohttp.c: Fixed '#' and '?' stripping when processing
   2745   URIs</li>
   2746 </ul><h3>1.8.6: Jan 31 2000</h3><ul>
   2747   <li>added a nanoFTP transport module, debugged until the new version of <a href="http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/rpmfind.html">rpmfind</a> can use
   2748     it without troubles</li>
   2749 </ul><h3>1.8.5: Jan 21 2000</h3><ul>
   2750   <li>adding APIs to parse a well balanced chunk of XML (production <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml#NT-content">[43] content</a> of the
   2751     XML spec)</li>
   2752   <li>fixed a hideous bug in xmlGetProp pointed by Rune.Djurhuus (a] fast.no</li>
   2753   <li>Jody Goldberg &lt;jgoldberg (a] home.com&gt; provided another patch trying
   2754     to solve the zlib checks problems</li>
   2755   <li>The current state in gnome CVS base is expected to ship as 1.8.5 with
   2756     gnumeric soon</li>
   2757 </ul><h3>1.8.4: Jan 13 2000</h3><ul>
   2758   <li>bug fixes, reintroduced xmlNewGlobalNs(), fixed xmlNewNs()</li>

   2771   <li>cleaned up WIN32 includes of socket stuff</li>
   2772 </ul><h3>1.8.2: Dec 21 1999</h3><ul>
   2773   <li>I got another problem with includes and C++, I hope this issue is fixed
   2774     for good this time</li>
   2775   <li>Added a few tree modification functions: xmlReplaceNode,
   2776     xmlAddPrevSibling, xmlAddNextSibling, xmlNodeSetName and
   2777     xmlDocSetRootElement</li>
   2778   <li>Tried to improve the HTML output with help from <a href="mailto:clahey (a] umich.edu">Chris Lahey</a></li>
   2779 </ul><h3>1.8.1: Dec 18 1999</h3><ul>
   2780   <li>various patches to avoid troubles when using libxml with C++ compilers
   2781     the "namespace" keyword and C escaping in include files</li>
   2782   <li>a problem in one of the core macros IS_CHAR was corrected</li>
   2783   <li>fixed a bug introduced in 1.8.0 breaking default namespace processing,
   2784     and more specifically the Dia application</li>
   2785   <li>fixed a posteriori validation (validation after parsing, or by using a
   2786     Dtd not specified in the original document)</li>
   2787   <li>fixed a bug in</li>
   2788 </ul><h3>1.8.0: Dec 12 1999</h3><ul>
   2789   <li>cleanup, especially memory wise</li>
   2790   <li>the parser should be more reliable, especially the HTML one, it should
   2791     not crash, whatever the input !</li>
   2792   <li>Integrated various patches, especially a speedup improvement for large
   2793     dataset from <a href="mailto:cnygard (a] bellatlantic.net">Carl Nygard</a>,
   2794     configure with --with-buffers to enable them.</li>
   2795   <li>attribute normalization, oops should have been added long ago !</li>
   2796   <li>attributes defaulted from DTDs should be available, xmlSetProp() now
   2797     does entities escaping by default.</li>
   2798 </ul><h3>1.7.4: Oct 25 1999</h3><ul>
   2799   <li>Lots of HTML improvement</li>

   2803 </ul><h3>1.7.3: Sep 29 1999</h3><ul>
   2804   <li>portability problems fixed</li>
   2805   <li>snprintf was used unconditionally, leading to link problems on system
   2806     were it's not available, fixed</li>
   2807 </ul><h3>1.7.1: Sep 24 1999</h3><ul>
   2808   <li>The basic type for strings manipulated by libxml has been renamed in
   2809     1.7.1 from <strong>CHAR</strong> to <strong>xmlChar</strong>. The reason
   2810     is that CHAR was conflicting with a predefined type on Windows. However
   2811     on non WIN32 environment, compatibility is provided by the way of  a
   2812     <strong>#define </strong>.</li>
   2813   <li>Changed another error : the use of a structure field called errno, and
   2814     leading to troubles on platforms where it's a macro</li>
   2815 </ul><h3>1.7.0: Sep 23 1999</h3><ul>

   2817   <li>Added an errno to report errors by another mean than a simple printf
   2818     like callback</li>
   2819   <li>Finished ID/IDREF support and checking when validation</li>
   2820   <li>Serious memory leaks fixed (there is now a <a href="html/libxml-xmlmemory.html">memory wrapper</a> module)</li>
   2821   <li>Improvement of <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath">XPath</a>
   2822     implementation</li>
   2823   <li>Added an HTML parser front-end</li>
