1 Release 2.0.1 Tue June 5 2007 2 - Fixed bugs #1515266, 1515600: The character data handler's calling 3 of XML_StopParser() was not handled properly; if the parser was 4 stopped and the handler set to NULL, the parser would segfault. 5 - Fixed bug #1690883: Expat failed on EBCDIC systems as it assumed 6 some character constants to be ASCII encoded. 7 - Minor cleanups of the test harness. 8 - Fixed xmlwf bug #1513566: "out of memory" error on file size zero. 9 - Fixed outline.c bug #1543233: missing a final XML_ParserFree() call. 10 - Fixes and improvements for Windows platform: 11 bugs #1409451, #1476160, 1548182, 1602769, 1717322. 12 - Build fixes for various platforms: 13 HP-UX, Tru64, Solaris 9: patch #1437840, bug #1196180. 14 All Unix: #1554618 (refreshed config.sub/config.guess). 15 #1490371, #1613457: support both, DESTDIR and INSTALL_ROOT, 16 without relying on GNU-Make specific features. 17 #1647805: Patched configure.in to work better with Intel compiler. 18 - Fixes to Makefile.in to have make check work correctly: 19 bugs #1408143, #1535603, #1536684. 20 - Added Open Watcom support: patch #1523242. 21 22 Release 2.0.0 Wed Jan 11 2006 23 - We no longer use the "check" library for C unit testing; we 24 always use the (partial) internal implementation of the API. 25 - Report XML_NS setting via XML_GetFeatureList(). 26 - Fixed headers for use from C++. 27 - XML_GetCurrentLineNumber() and XML_GetCurrentColumnNumber() 28 now return unsigned integers. 29 - Added XML_LARGE_SIZE switch to enable 64-bit integers for 30 byte indexes and line/column numbers. 31 - Updated to use libtool 1.5.22 (the most recent). 32 - Added support for AmigaOS. 33 - Some mostly minor bug fixes. SF issues include: 1006708, 34 1021776, 1023646, 1114960, 1156398, 1221160, 1271642. 35 36 Release 1.95.8 Fri Jul 23 2004 37 - Major new feature: suspend/resume. Handlers can now request 38 that a parse be suspended for later resumption or aborted 39 altogether. See "Temporarily Stopping Parsing" in the 40 documentation for more details. 41 - Some mostly minor bug fixes, but compilation should no 42 longer generate warnings on most platforms. SF issues 43 include: 827319, 840173, 846309, 888329, 896188, 923913, 44 928113, 961698, 985192. 45 46 Release 1.95.7 Mon Oct 20 2003 47 - Fixed enum XML_Status issue (reported on SourceForge many 48 times), so compilers that are properly picky will be happy. 49 - Introduced an XMLCALL macro to control the calling 50 convention used by the Expat API; this macro should be used 51 to annotate prototypes and definitions of callback 52 implementations in code compiled with a calling convention 53 other than the default convention for the host platform. 54 - Improved ability to build without the configure-generated 55 expat_config.h header. This is useful for applications 56 which embed Expat rather than linking in the library. 57 - Fixed a variety of bugs: see SF issues 458907, 609603, 58 676844, 679754, 692878, 692964, 695401, 699323, 699487, 59 820946. 60 - Improved hash table lookups. 61 - Added more regression tests and improved documentation. 62 63 Release 1.95.6 Tue Jan 28 2003 64 - Added XML_FreeContentModel(). 65 - Added XML_MemMalloc(), XML_MemRealloc(), XML_MemFree(). 66 - Fixed a variety of bugs: see SF issues 615606, 616863, 67 618199, 653180, 673791. 68 - Enhanced the regression test suite. 69 - Man page improvements: includes SF issue 632146. 70 71 Release 1.95.5 Fri Sep 6 2002 72 - Added XML_UseForeignDTD() for improved SAX2 support. 73 - Added XML_GetFeatureList(). 74 - Defined XML_Bool type and the values XML_TRUE and XML_FALSE. 75 - Use an incomplete struct instead of a void* for the parser 76 (may not retain). 77 - Fixed UTF-8 decoding bug that caused legal UTF-8 to be rejected. 78 - Finally fixed bug where default handler would report DTD 79 events that were already handled by another handler. 80 Initial patch contributed by Darryl Miles. 81 - Removed unnecessary DllMain() function that caused static 82 linking into a DLL to be difficult. 83 - Added VC++ projects for building static libraries. 84 - Reduced line-length for all source code and headers to be 85 no longer than 80 characters, to help with AS/400 support. 86 - Reduced memory copying during parsing (SF patch #600964). 87 - Fixed a variety of bugs: see SF issues 580793, 434664, 88 483514, 580503, 581069, 584041, 584183, 584832, 585537, 89 596555, 596678, 598352, 598944, 599715, 600479, 600971. 90 91 Release 1.95.4 Fri Jul 12 2002 92 - Added support for VMS, contributed by Craig Berry.

Other bugs which we can't test as easily may also 120 have been fixed, especially in the area of build support. 121 122 Release 1.95.2 Fri Jul 27 2001 123 - More changes to make MSVC happy with the build; add a single 124 workspace to support both the library and xmlwf application. 125 - Added a Windows installer for Windows users; includes 126 xmlwf.exe. 127 - Added compile-time constants that can be used to determine the 128 Expat version 129 - Removed a lot of GNU-specific dependencies to aide portability 130 among the various Unix flavors. 131 - Fix the UTF-8 BOM bug. 132 - Cleaned up warning messages for several compilers. 133 - Added the -Wall, -Wstrict-prototypes options for GCC. 134 135 Release 1.95.1 Sun Oct 22 15:11:36 EDT 2000 136 - Changes to get expat to build under Microsoft compiler 137 - Removed all aborts and instead return an UNEXPECTED_STATE error. 138 - Fixed a bug where a stray '%' in an entity value would cause an 139 abort. 140 - Defined XML_SetEndNamespaceDeclHandler.
