+ <ul>
+ <li> Fixed <code>enum XML_Status</code> issue (reported on
+ SourceForge many times), so compilers that are properly
+ picky will be happy. </li>
+ <li> Introduced an <code>XMLCALL</code> macro to control the
+ calling convention used by the Expat API; this macro should
+ be used to annotate prototypes and definitions of callback
+ implementations in code compiled with a calling convention
+ other than the default convention for the host
+ platform. </li>
+ <li> Improved ability to build without the
+ <b>configure</b>-generated <span
+ class="filename">expat_config.h</span> header. This is
+ useful for applications which embed Expat rather than
+ linking in the library. </li>
+ <li> Fixed a variety of bugs: see SF issues 458907, 609603,
+ 676844, 679754, 692878, 692964, 695401, 699323, 699487,
+ 820946. </li>
+ <li> Improved hash table lookups. </li>
+ <li> Added more regression tests and improved documentation. </li>
+ </ul>
+ <p>Our plan is to wait for a short while and re-release this
+ version as the long-awaited Expat 2.0 if no major problems are
+ identified. If significant problems are found, additional
+ iterative releases will be made as fixes are made.</p>
