    • +

  • This version is now the head in the Gnome CVS base, the old one is + available under the tag LIB_XML_1_X
    • +
  • This includes a very large set of changes. From a programmatic point + of view applications should not have to be modified too much, check the + upgrade page
    • +
  • Some interfaces may changes (especially a bit about encoding).
    • +
  • the updates includes: +
      +
    • fix I18N support. ISO-Latin-x/UTF-8/UTF-16 (nearly) seems correctly + handled now
      • +

      • +

      • +

1.8.7: Mar 6 2000

    +
  • This is a bug fix release:
    • +
  • It is possible to disable the ignorable blanks heuristic used by + libxml-1.x, a new function xmlKeepBlanksDefault(0) will allow this. Note + that for adherence to XML spec, this behaviour will be disabled by + default in 2.x . The same function will allow to keep compatibility for + old code.
    • +
  • Blanks in <a> </a> constructs are not ignored anymore, + avoiding heuristic is really the Right Way :-\
    • +
  • The unchecked use of snprintf which was breaking libxml-1.8.6 + compilation on some platforms has been fixed
    • +
  • nanoftp.c nanohttp.c: Fixed '#' and '?' stripping when processing + URIs

  • Tried to improve the HTML output with help from Chris Lahey
    • +

    +
  • various patches to avoid troubles when using libxml with C++ compilers + the "namespace" keyword and C escaping in include files
    • +
  • a problem in one of the core macros IS_CHAR was corrected
    • +
  • fixed a bug introduced in 1.8.0 breaking default namespace processing, + and more specifically the Dia application
    • +
  • fixed a posteriori validation (validation after parsing, or by using a + Dtd not specified in the original document)
    • +
  • fixed a bug in
    • +

1.8.0: Dec 12 1999

    +
  • cleanup, especially memory wise
    • +
  • the parser should be more reliable, especially the HTML one, it should + not crash, whatever the input !

    • +
  • attribute normalization, oops should have been added long ago !

    • +

1.7.1: Sep 24 1999

    +
  • The basic type for strings manipulated by libxml has been renamed in + 1.7.1 from CHAR to xmlChar. The reason + is that CHAR was conflicting with a predefined type on Windows. However + on non WIN32 environment, compatibility is provided by the way of a + #define .
    • +
  • Changed another error : the use of a structure field called errno, and + leading to troubles on platforms where it's a macro
    • +

1.7.0: Sep 23 1999
