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

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          
37Release 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
58Release 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
72Release 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
82Release 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
99Release 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
107Release 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
127Release 1.95.4 Fri Jul 12 2002
128        - Added support for VMS, contributed by Craig Berry.  See
129          vms/README.vms for more information.
130        - Added Mac OS (classic) support, with a makefile for MPW,
131          contributed by Thomas Wegner and Daryle Walker.
132        - Added Borland C++ Builder 5 / BCC 5.5 support, contributed
133          by Patrick McConnell (SF patch #538032).
134        - Fixed a variety of bugs: see SF issues #441449, #563184,
135          #564342, #566334, #566901, #569461, #570263, #575168, #579196.
136        - Made skippedEntityHandler conform to SAX2 (see source comment)
137        - Re-implemented WFC: Entity Declared from XML 1.0 spec and
138          added a new error "entity declared in parameter entity":
139          see SF bug report #569461 and SF patch #578161
140        - Re-implemented section 5.1 from XML 1.0 spec:
141          see SF bug report #570263 and SF patch #578161
142
143Release 1.95.3 Mon Jun 3 2002
144        - Added a project to the MSVC workspace to create a wchar_t
145          version of the library; the DLLs are named libexpatw.dll.
146        - Changed the name of the Windows DLLs from expat.dll to
147          libexpat.dll; this fixes SF bug #432456.

154          #466885, #469226, #477667, #484419, #487840, #494749, #496505,
155          #547350.  Other bugs which we can't test as easily may also
156          have been fixed, especially in the area of build support.
157
158Release 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.

170
171Release 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@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
184Release 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
