-    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 dictionary, allocate names and small
-    text nodes from the dictionary
-   - 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.

-    functions to access content as const strings, use them for Python
-  bindings

-   - 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

-
-
-2.1.0 and 1.8.8: June 29 2000:

-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

-   - 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
-
-

-   - 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

-   - 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
