1Release 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
22Release 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
36Release 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
46Release 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
63Release 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
71Release 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.

100        - Made skippedEntityHandler conform to SAX2 (see source comment)
101        - Re-implemented WFC: Entity Declared from XML 1.0 spec and
102          added a new error "entity declared in parameter entity":
103          see SF bug report 569461 and SF patch 578161
104        - Re-implemented section 5.1 from XML 1.0 spec:
105          see SF bug report 570263 and SF patch 578161
106
107Release 1.95.3 Mon Jun 3 2002
108        - Added a project to the MSVC workspace to create a wchar_t
109          version of the library; the DLLs are named libexpatw.dll.
110        - Changed the name of the Windows DLLs from expat.dll to
111          libexpat.dll; this fixes SF bug #432456.

119          547350.  Other bugs which we can't test as easily may also
120          have been fixed, especially in the area of build support.
121
122Release 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

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. Thanks to Darryl Miles for
141          finding this oversight.
142        - Changed default patterns in lib/Makefile.in to fit non-GNU makes
143          Thanks to robin@unrated.net for reporting and providing an
144          account to test on.
145        - The reference had the wrong label for XML_SetStartNamespaceDecl.
146          Reported by an anonymous user.
147
148Release 1.95.0 Fri Sep 29 2000
149        - XML_ParserCreate_MM
150                Allows you to set a memory management suite to replace the
151                standard malloc,realloc, and free.
152        - XML_SetReturnNSTriplet
153                If you turn this feature on when namespace processing is in
154                effect, then qualified, prefixed element and attribute names
155                are returned as "uri|name|prefix" where '|' is whatever
156                separator character is used in namespace processing.
157        - Merged in features from perl-expat
158                o XML_SetElementDeclHandler
159                o XML_SetAttlistDeclHandler
160                o XML_SetXmlDeclHandler
161                o XML_SetEntityDeclHandler
162                o StartDoctypeDeclHandler takes 3 additional parameters:
163                        sysid, pubid, has_internal_subset
164                o Many paired handler setters (like XML_SetElementHandler)
165                  now have corresponding individual handler setters
166                o XML_GetInputContext for getting the input context of
167                  the current parse position.
168        - Added reference material
169        - Packaged into a distribution that builds a sharable library
170
