1 Release 2.1.0 Sat March 24 2012 2 - Bug Fixes: 3 #1742315: Harmful XML_ParserCreateNS suggestion. 4 #2895533: CVE-2012-1147 - Resource leak in readfilemap.c. 5 #1785430: Expat build fails on linux-amd64 with gcc version>=4.1 -O3. 6 #1983953, 2517952, 2517962, 2649838: 7 Build modifications using autoreconf instead of buildconf.sh. 8 #2815947, #2884086: OBJEXT and EXEEXT support while building. 9 #1990430: CVE-2009-3720 - Parser crash with special UTF-8 sequences. 10 #2517938: xmlwf should return non-zero exit status if not well-formed. 11 #2517946: Wrong statement about XMLDecl in xmlwf.1 and xmlwf.sgml. 12 #2855609: Dangling positionPtr after error. 13 #2894085: CVE-2009-3560 - Buffer over-read and crash in big2_toUtf8(). 14 #2958794: CVE-2012-1148 - Memory leak in poolGrow. 15 #2990652: CMake support. 16 #3010819: UNEXPECTED_STATE with a trailing "%" in entity value. 17 #3206497: Unitialized memory returned from XML_Parse. 18 #3287849: make check fails on mingw-w64. 19 #3496608: CVE-2012-0876 - Hash DOS attack. 20 - Patches: 21 #1749198: pkg-config support. 22 #3010222: Fix for bug #3010819. 23 #3312568: CMake support. 24 #3446384: Report byte offsets for attr names and values. 25 - New Features / API changes: 26 Added new API member XML_SetHashSalt() that allows setting an intial 27 value (salt) for hash calculations. This is part of the fix for 28 bug #3496608 to randomize hash parameters. 29 When compiled with XML_ATTR_INFO defined, adds new API member 30 XML_GetAttributeInfo() that allows retrieving the byte 31 offsets for attribute names and values (patch #3446384). 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. 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 128 - Added support for VMS, contributed by Craig Berry.

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 (a] 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 206
