2.6.0: Oct 20 2003

Major revision release: should be API and ABI compatible but got a lot - of change
Increased the library modularity, far more options can be stripped out, - a --with-minimum configuration will weight around 160KBytes
Use per parser and per document dictionnary, allocate names and small - text nodes from the dictionnary
Switch to a SAX2 like parser rewrote most of the XML parser core, - provides namespace resolution and defaulted attributes, minimize memory - allocations and copies, namespace checking and specific error handling, - immutable buffers, make predefined entities static structures, etc...
rewrote all the error handling in the library, all errors can be - intercepted at a structured level, with precise information - available.
New simpler and more generic XML and HTML parser APIs, allowing to - easilly modify the parsing options and reuse parser context for multiple - consecutive documents.
Similar new APIs for the xmlReader, for options and reuse, provided new - functions to access content as const strings, use them for Python - bindings
a lot of other smaller API improvements: xmlStrPrintf (Aleksey Sanin), - Walker i.e. reader on a document tree based on Alfred Mickautsch code, - make room in nodes for line numbers, reference counting and future PSVI - extensions, generation of character ranges to be checked with faster - algorithm (William), xmlParserMaxDepth (Crutcher Dunnavant), buffer - access
