7 #317 #318 CVE-2019-15903 -- Fix heap overflow triggered by
8 XML_GetCurrentLineNumber (or XML_GetCurrentColumnNumber),
9 and deny internal entities closing the doctype;
10 fixed in commit c20b758c332d9a13afbbb276d30db1d183a85d43
13 #240 Fix cases where XML_StopParser did not have any effect
14 when called from inside of an end element handler
15 #341 xmlwf: Fix exit code for operation without "-d DIRECTORY";
16 previously, only "-d DIRECTORY" would give you a proper
18 # xmlwf -d . <<<'<not well-formed>' 2>/dev/null ; echo $?
20 # xmlwf <<<'<not well-formed>' 2>/dev/null ; echo $?
22 Now both cases return exit code 2.

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

636 - Added XML_FreeContentModel().
637 - Added XML_MemMalloc(), XML_MemRealloc(), XML_MemFree().
638 - Fixed a variety of bugs: see SF issues #615606, #616863,
639 #618199, #653180, #673791.
640 - Enhanced the regression test suite.
641 - Man page improvements: includes SF issue #632146.
643 Release 1.95.5 Fri Sep 6 2002
644 - Added XML_UseForeignDTD() for improved SAX2 support.
645 - Added XML_GetFeatureList().
646 - Defined XML_Bool type and the values XML_TRUE and XML_FALSE.
647 - Use an incomplete struct instead of a void* for the parser
649 - Fixed UTF-8 decoding bug that caused legal UTF-8 to be rejected.
650 - Finally fixed bug where default handler would report DTD
651 events that were already handled by another handler.
652 Initial patch contributed by Darryl Miles.
653 - Removed unnecessary DllMain() function that caused static
654 linking into a DLL to be difficult.
655 - Added VC++ projects for building static libraries.
656 - Reduced line-length for all source code and headers to be
657 no longer than 80 characters, to help with AS/400 support.
658 - Reduced memory copying during parsing (SF patch #600964).
659 - Fixed a variety of bugs: see SF issues #580793, #434664,
660 #483514, #580503, #581069, #584041, #584183, #584832, #585537,
661 #596555, #596678, #598352, #598944, #599715, #600479, #600971.

665 vms/README.vms for more information.
666 - Added Mac OS (classic) support, with a makefile for MPW,
667 contributed by Thomas Wegner and Daryle Walker.
668 - Added Borland C++ Builder 5 / BCC 5.5 support, contributed
669 by Patrick McConnell (SF patch #538032).
670 - Fixed a variety of bugs: see SF issues #441449, #563184,
671 #564342, #566334, #566901, #569461, #570263, #575168, #579196.
672 - Made skippedEntityHandler conform to SAX2 (see source comment)
673 - Re-implemented WFC: Entity Declared from XML 1.0 spec and
674 added a new error "entity declared in parameter entity":
675 see SF bug report #569461 and SF patch #578161
676 - Re-implemented section 5.1 from XML 1.0 spec:
677 see SF bug report #570263 and SF patch #578161
679 Release 1.95.3 Mon Jun 3 2002
680 - Added a project to the MSVC workspace to create a wchar_t
681 version of the library; the DLLs are named libexpatw.dll.
682 - Changed the name of the Windows DLLs from expat.dll to
683 libexpat.dll; this fixes SF bug #432456.

686 - Made the XML_UNICODE builds usable (thanks, Karl!).

689 - Fixed many bugs; see SF bug reports #231864, #461380, #464837,
690 #466885, #469226, #477667, #484419, #487840, #494749, #496505,
691 #547350. Other bugs which we can't test as easily may also
692 have been fixed, especially in the area of build support.
694 Release 1.95.2 Fri Jul 27 2001
695 - More changes to make MSVC happy with the build; add a single
696 workspace to support both the library and xmlwf application.

718 Reported by an anonymous user.
720 Release 1.95.0 Fri Sep 29 2000
721 - XML_ParserCreate_MM
722 Allows you to set a memory management suite to replace the
723 standard malloc,realloc, and free.
724 - XML_SetReturnNSTriplet
725 If you turn this feature on when namespace processing is in
726 effect, then qualified, prefixed element and attribute names
727 are returned as "uri|name|prefix" where '|' is whatever
728 separator character is used in namespace processing.
729 - Merged in features from perl-expat
730 o XML_SetElementDeclHandler
731 o XML_SetAttlistDeclHandler
