3 If you can help, please get in touch. Thanks!
5 Release x.x.x xxx xxxxxxxxx xx xxxx
7 examples: Drop executable bits from elements.c
8 #349 Windows: Change the name of the Windows DLLs from expat*.dll
9 to libexpat*.dll once more (regression from 2.2.8, first
10 fixed in 1.95.3, issue #61 on SourceForge today,
11 was issue #432456 back then); needs a fix due
12 case-insensitive file systems on Windows and the fact that
13 Perl's XML::Parser::Expat compiles into Expat.dll.
14 #347 Windows: Only define _CRT_RAND_S if not defined
19 Release 2.2.8 Fri Septemper 13 2019
21 #317 #318 CVE-2019-15903 -- Fix heap overflow triggered by
22 XML_GetCurrentLineNumber (or XML_GetCurrentColumnNumber),
23 and deny internal entities closing the doctype;
24 fixed in commit c20b758c332d9a13afbbb276d30db1d183a85d43
27 #240 Fix cases where XML_StopParser did not have any effect
28 when called from inside of an end element handler
29 #341 xmlwf: Fix exit code for operation without "-d DIRECTORY";
30 previously, only "-d DIRECTORY" would give you a proper
32 # xmlwf -d . <<<'<not well-formed>' 2>/dev/null ; echo $?
34 # xmlwf <<<'<not well-formed>' 2>/dev/null ; echo $?
36 Now both cases return exit code 2.
39 #299 #302 Windows: Replace LoadLibrary hack to access
40 unofficial API function SystemFunction036 (RtlGenRandom)
41 by using official API function rand_s (needs WinXP+)
42 #325 Windows: Drop support for Visual Studio <=7.1/2003
43 and document supported compilers in README.md
44 #286 Windows: Remove COM code from xmlwf; in case it turns
45 out needed later, there will be a dedicated repository
46 below https://github.com/libexpat/ for that code

568 #3206497: Uninitialized memory returned from XML_Parse.
569 #3287849: make check fails on mingw-w64.
571 #1749198: pkg-config support.
572 #3010222: Fix for bug #3010819.
573 #3312568: CMake support.
574 #3446384: Report byte offsets for attr names and values.
575 - New Features / API changes:
576 Added new API member XML_SetHashSalt() that allows setting an initial
577 value (salt) for hash calculations. This is part of the fix for
578 bug #3496608 to randomize hash parameters.
579 When compiled with XML_ATTR_INFO defined, adds new API member
580 XML_GetAttributeInfo() that allows retrieving the byte
581 offsets for attribute names and values (patch #3446384).
582 Added CMake build system.
583 See bug #2990652 and patch #3312568.
584 Added run-benchmark target to Makefile.in - relies on testdata module
585 present in the same relative location as in the repository.
587 Release 2.0.1 Tue June 5 2007
588 - Fixed bugs #1515266, #1515600: The character data handler's calling
589 of XML_StopParser() was not handled properly; if the parser was
590 stopped and the handler set to NULL, the parser would segfault.
591 - Fixed bug #1690883: Expat failed on EBCDIC systems as it assumed
592 some character constants to be ASCII encoded.
593 - Minor cleanups of the test harness.
594 - Fixed xmlwf bug #1513566: "out of memory" error on file size zero.
595 - Fixed outline.c bug #1543233: missing a final XML_ParserFree() call.
596 - Fixes and improvements for Windows platform:
597 bugs #1409451, #1476160, #1548182, #1602769, #1717322.
598 - Build fixes for various platforms:
599 HP-UX, Tru64, Solaris 9: patch #1437840, bug #1196180.
600 All Unix: #1554618 (refreshed config.sub/config.guess).
601 #1490371, #1613457: support both, DESTDIR and INSTALL_ROOT,
602 without relying on GNU-Make specific features.
603 #1647805: Patched configure.in to work better with Intel compiler.
604 - Fixes to Makefile.in to have make check work correctly:
605 bugs #1408143, #1535603, #1536684.
606 - Added Open Watcom support: patch #1523242.
608 Release 2.0.0 Wed Jan 11 2006
609 - We no longer use the "check" library for C unit testing; we
610 always use the (partial) internal implementation of the API.
611 - Report XML_NS setting via XML_GetFeatureList().
612 - Fixed headers for use from C++.
613 - XML_GetCurrentLineNumber() and XML_GetCurrentColumnNumber()
614 now return unsigned integers.
615 - Added XML_LARGE_SIZE switch to enable 64-bit integers for
616 byte indexes and line/column numbers.
617 - Updated to use libtool 1.5.22 (the most recent).
618 - Added support for AmigaOS.
619 - Some mostly minor bug fixes. SF issues include: #1006708,
620 #1021776, #1023646, #1114960, #1156398, #1221160, #1271642.
622 Release 1.95.8 Fri Jul 23 2004
623 - Major new feature: suspend/resume. Handlers can now request
624 that a parse be suspended for later resumption or aborted
625 altogether. See "Temporarily Stopping Parsing" in the
626 documentation for more details.
627 - Some mostly minor bug fixes, but compilation should no
628 longer generate warnings on most platforms. SF issues
629 include: #827319, #840173, #846309, #888329, #896188, #923913,
630 #928113, #961698, #985192.
632 Release 1.95.7 Mon Oct 20 2003
633 - Fixed enum XML_Status issue (reported on SourceForge many
634 times), so compilers that are properly picky will be happy.
635 - Introduced an XMLCALL macro to control the calling
636 convention used by the Expat API; this macro should be used
637 to annotate prototypes and definitions of callback
638 implementations in code compiled with a calling convention
639 other than the default convention for the host platform.
640 - Improved ability to build without the configure-generated
641 expat_config.h header. This is useful for applications
642 which embed Expat rather than linking in the library.
643 - Fixed a variety of bugs: see SF issues #458907, #609603,
644 #676844, #679754, #692878, #692964, #695401, #699323, #699487,

653 #618199, #653180, #673791.
654 - Enhanced the regression test suite.
655 - Man page improvements: includes SF issue #632146.
657 Release 1.95.5 Fri Sep 6 2002

659 - Added XML_GetFeatureList().
660 - Defined XML_Bool type and the values XML_TRUE and XML_FALSE.
661 - Use an incomplete struct instead of a void* for the parser
663 - Fixed UTF-8 decoding bug that caused legal UTF-8 to be rejected.
664 - Finally fixed bug where default handler would report DTD
665 events that were already handled by another handler.
666 Initial patch contributed by Darryl Miles.
667 - Removed unnecessary DllMain() function that caused static
668 linking into a DLL to be difficult.
669 - Added VC++ projects for building static libraries.
670 - Reduced line-length for all source code and headers to be
671 no longer than 80 characters, to help with AS/400 support.
672 - Reduced memory copying during parsing (SF patch #600964).
673 - Fixed a variety of bugs: see SF issues #580793, #434664,
674 #483514, #580503, #581069, #584041, #584183, #584832, #585537,
675 #596555, #596678, #598352, #598944, #599715, #600479, #600971.

681 contributed by Thomas Wegner and Daryle Walker.
682 - Added Borland C++ Builder 5 / BCC 5.5 support, contributed
683 by Patrick McConnell (SF patch #538032).
684 - Fixed a variety of bugs: see SF issues #441449, #563184,
685 #564342, #566334, #566901, #569461, #570263, #575168, #579196.

703 - Fixed many bugs; see SF bug reports #231864, #461380, #464837,
704 #466885, #469226, #477667, #484419, #487840, #494749, #496505,
705 #547350. Other bugs which we can't test as easily may also
706 have been fixed, especially in the area of build support.
708 Release 1.95.2 Fri Jul 27 2001
709 - More changes to make MSVC happy with the build; add a single

734 Release 1.95.0 Fri Sep 29 2000
735 - XML_ParserCreate_MM
736 Allows you to set a memory management suite to replace the
737 standard malloc,realloc, and free.
738 - XML_SetReturnNSTriplet
739 If you turn this feature on when namespace processing is in
740 effect, then qualified, prefixed element and attribute names
741 are returned as "uri|name|prefix" where '|' is whatever
742 separator character is used in namespace processing.
