+      Expat 1.95.7 released.

+    <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>
