1Release 1.95.5 Fri Sep 6 2002
2        - Added XML_UseForeignDTD() for improved SAX2 support.

4        - Defined XML_Bool type and the values XML_TRUE and XML_FALSE.
5        - Use an incomplete struct instead of a void* for the parser
6          (may not retain).
7        - Fixed UTF-8 decoding bug that caused legal UTF-8 to be rejected.
8        - Finally fixed bug where default handler would report DTD
9          events that were already handled by another handler.
10          Initial patch contributed by Darryl Miller.
11        - Removed unnecessary DllMain() function that caused static
12          linking into a DLL to be difficult.

14        - Reduced line-length for all source code and headers to be
15          no longer than 80 characters, to help with AS/400 support.

40        - Changed the name of the Windows DLLs from expat.dll to
41          libexpat.dll; this fixes SF bug #432456.

71          finding this oversight.
72        - Changed default patterns in lib/Makefile.in to fit non-GNU makes
73          Thanks to robin@unrated.net for reporting and providing an

77
78Release 1.95.0 Fri Sep 29 2000
79        - XML_ParserCreate_MM
80                Allows you to set a memory management suite to replace the
81                standard malloc,realloc, and free.
82        - XML_SetReturnNSTriplet
83                If you turn this feature on when namespace processing is in
84                effect, then qualified, prefixed element and attribute names
85                are returned as "uri|name|prefix" where '|' is whatever
86                separator character is used in namespace processing.
87        - Merged in features from perl-expat
88                o XML_SetElementDeclHandler
89                o XML_SetAttlistDeclHandler
90                o XML_SetXmlDeclHandler
91                o XML_SetEntityDeclHandler
92                o StartDoctypeDeclHandler takes 3 additional parameters:
93                        sysid, pubid, has_internal_subset
94                o Many paired handler setters (like XML_SetElementHandler)
95                  now have corresponding individual handler setters
96                o XML_GetInputContext for getting the input context of
97                  the current parse position.
98        - Added reference material
99        - Packaged into a distribution that builds a sharable library
