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
New xmlWriter API provided by Alfred Mickautsch
Schemas: base64 support by Anthony Carrico
Parser<->HTTP integration fix, proper processing of the Mime-Type and charset information if available.
Relax-NG: bug fixes including the one reported by Martijn Faassen and zeroOrMore, better error reporting.
Python bindings (StÃ©phane Bidoul), never use stdout for errors output

Berry), Windows: threads (Jesse Pelton), Borland compiler (Eric Zurcher, Igor), Mingw (Igor), typos (Mark Vakoc), beta version (Stephane Bidoul), warning cleanups on AIX and MIPS compilers (William Brack), BeOS (Marcin 'Shard' Konicki)

added xml2-config --libtool-libs option from Kevin P. Fleming
a lot of profiling and tuning of the code, speedup patch for xmlSearchNs() by Luca Padovani. The xmlReader should do far less allocation and it speed should get closer to SAX. Chris Anderson worked on speeding and cleaning up repetitive checking code.

- output to a given encoding has been added/tested
- lot of various fixes

2.0.0: Apr 12 2000

First public release of libxml2. If you are using libxml, it's a good idea to check the 1.x to 2.x upgrade instructions. NOTE: while initially scheduled for Apr 3 the release occurred only on Apr 12 due to massive workload.
The include are now located under $prefix/include/libxml (instead of $prefix/include/gnome-xml), they also are referenced by
```
#include <libxml/xxx.h>
```
instead of
```
#include "xxx.h"
```
a new URI module for parsing URIs and following strictly RFC 2396
the memory allocation routines used by libxml can now be overloaded dynamically by using xmlMemSetup()
The previously CVS only tool tester has been renamed xmllint and is now installed as part of the libxml2 package
The I/O interface has been revamped. There is now ways to plug in specific I/O modules, either at the URI scheme detection level using xmlRegisterInputCallbacks() or by passing I/O functions when creating a parser context using xmlCreateIOParserCtxt()
there is a C preprocessor macro LIBXML_VERSION providing the version number of the libxml module in use
a number of optional features of libxml can now be excluded at configure time (FTP/HTTP/HTML/XPath/Debug)

2.0.0beta: Mar 14 2000

This is a first Beta release of libxml version 2
It's available only fromxmlsoft.org FTP, it's packaged as libxml2-2.0.0beta and available as tar and RPMs
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
- Better handling of entities, especially well-formedness checking and proper PEref extensions in external subsets
- DTD conditional sections
- Validation now correctly handle entities content
- change structures to accommodate DOM
Serious progress were made toward compliance, here are the result of the test against the OASIS testsuite (except the Japanese tests since I don't support that encoding yet). This URL is rebuilt every couple of hours using the CVS head version.

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

1.8.6: Jan 31 2000

added a nanoFTP transport module, debugged until the new version of rpmfind can use it without troubles

1.8.5: Jan 21 2000

adding APIs to parse a well balanced chunk of XML (production [43] content of the XML spec)
fixed a hideous bug in xmlGetProp pointed by Rune.Djurhuus@fast.no
Jody Goldberg <jgoldberg@home.com> provided another patch trying to solve the zlib checks problems
The current state in gnome CVS base is expected to ship as 1.8.5 with gnumeric soon

1.8.4: Jan 13 2000

bug fixes, reintroduced xmlNewGlobalNs(), fixed xmlNewNs()
all exit() call should have been removed from libxml
fixed a problem with INCLUDE_WINSOCK on WIN32 platform
added newDocFragment()

1.8.3: Jan 5 2000

a Push interface for the XML and HTML parsers
a shell-like interface to the document tree (try tester --shell :-)
lots of bug fixes and improvement added over XMas holidays
fixed the DTD parsing code to work with the xhtml DTD
added xmlRemoveProp(), xmlRemoveID() and xmlRemoveRef()
Fixed bugs in xmlNewNs()
External entity loading code has been revamped, now it uses xmlLoadExternalEntity(), some fix on entities processing were added
cleaned up WIN32 includes of socket stuff

1.8.2: Dec 21 1999

I got another problem with includes and C++, I hope this issue is fixed for good this time
Added a few tree modification functions: xmlReplaceNode, xmlAddPrevSibling, xmlAddNextSibling, xmlNodeSetName and xmlDocSetRootElement
Tried to improve the HTML output with help from Chris Lahey

1.8.1: Dec 18 1999

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 !
Integrated various patches, especially a speedup improvement for large dataset from Carl Nygard, configure with --with-buffers to enable them.
attribute normalization, oops should have been added long ago !
attributes defaulted from DTDs should be available, xmlSetProp() now does entities escaping by default.

1.7.4: Oct 25 1999

Lots of HTML improvement
Fixed some errors when saving both XML and HTML
More examples, the regression tests should now look clean
Fixed a bug with contiguous charref

1.7.3: Sep 29 1999

portability problems fixed
snprintf was used unconditionally, leading to link problems on system were it's not available, fixed

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

Added the ability to fetch remote DTD or parsed entities, see the nanohttp module.
Added an errno to report errors by another mean than a simple printf like callback
Finished ID/IDREF support and checking when validation
Serious memory leaks fixed (there is now a memory wrapper module)
Improvement of XPath implementation
Added an HTML parser front-end
