CHANGES IN Mini-XML 2.2.1 - mxmlLoadFd(), mxmlLoadFile(), and mxmlLoadString() now correctly return NULL on error (STR #21) - mxmlNewInteger(), mxmlNewOpaque(), mxmlNewReal(), mxmlNewText(), and mxmlNewTextf() incorrectly required a parent node (STR #22) - Fixed an XML output bug in mxmldoc. - The "make install" target now uses the install command to set the proper permissions on UNIX/Linux/OSX. - Fixed a MingW/Cygwin compilation problem (STR #18) CHANGES IN Mini-XML 2.2 - Added shared library support (STR #17) - mxmlLoad*() now returns an error when an XML stream contains illegal control characters (STR #10) - mxmlLoad*() now returns an error when an element contains two attributes with the same name in conformance with the XML spec (STR #16) - Added support for CDATA (STR #14, STR #15) - Updated comment and processing instruction handling - no entity support per XML specification. - Added checking for invalid comment termination ("--->" is not allowed) CHANGES IN Mini-XML 2.1 - Added support for custom data nodes (STR #6) - Now treat UTF-8 sequences which are longer than necessary as an error (STR #4) - Fixed entity number support (STR #8) - Fixed mxmlLoadString() bug with UTF-8 (STR #7) - Fixed entity lookup bug (STR #5) - Added mxmlLoadFd() and mxmlSaveFd() functions. - Fixed multi-word UTF-16 handling. CHANGES IN Mini-XML 2.0 - New programmers manual. - Added Visual C++ project files for Microsoft Windows users. - Added optimizations to mxmldoc, mxmlSaveFile(), and mxmlIndexNew() (STR #2) - mxmlEntityAddCallback() now returns an integer status (STR #2) - Added UTF-16 support (input only; all output is UTF-8) - Added index functions to build a searchable index of XML nodes. - Added character entity callback interface to support additional character entities beyond those defined in the XHTML specification. - Added support for XHTML character entities. - The mxmldoc utility now produces XML output which conforms to an updated XML schema, described in the file "doc/mxmldoc.xsd". - Changed the whitespace callback interface to return strings instead of a single character, allowing for greater control over the formatting of XML files written using Mini-XML. THIS CHANGE WILL REQUIRE CHANGES TO YOUR 1.x CODE IF YOU USE WHITESPACE CALLBACKS. - The mxmldoc utility is now capable of documenting C++ classes, functions, and structures, and correctly handles C++ comments. - Added new modular tests for mxmldoc. - Updated the mxmldoc output to be more compatible with embedding in manuals produced with HTMLDOC. - The makefile incorrectly included a "/" separator between the destination path and install path. This caused problems when building and installing with MingW. CHANGES IN Mini-XML 1.3 - Fixes for mxmldoc. - Added support for reading standard HTML entity names. - mxmlLoadString/File() did not decode character entities in element names, attribute names, or attribute values. - mxmlLoadString/File() would crash when loading non- conformant XML data under an existing parent (top) node. - Fixed several bugs in the mxmldoc utility. - Added new error callback function to catch a variety of errors and log them to someplace other than stderr. - The mxmlElementSetAttr() function now allows for NULL attribute values. - The load and save functions now properly handle quoted element and attribute name strings properly, e.g. for !DOCTYPE declarations. CHANGES IN Mini-XML 1.2 - Added new "set" methods to set the value of a node. - Added new formatted text methods mxmlNewTextf() and mxmlSetTextf() to create/set a text node value using printf-style formats. - Added new standard callbacks for use with the mxmlLoad functions. - Updated the HTML documentation to include examples of the walk and load function output. - Added --with/without-ansi configure option to control the strdup() function check. - Added --with/without-snprintf configure option to control the snprintf() and vsnprintf() function checks. CHANGES IN Mini-XML 1.1.2 - The mxml(3) man page wasn't updated for the string functions. - mxmlSaveString() returned the wrong number of characters. - mxml_add_char() updated the buffer pointer in the wrong place. CHANGES IN Mini-XML 1.1.1 - The private mxml_add_ch() function did not update the start-of-buffer pointer which could cause a crash when using mxmlSaveString(). - The private mxml_write_ws() function called putc() instead of using the proper callback which could cause a crash when using mxmlSaveString(). - Added a mxmlSaveAllocString() convenience function for saving an XML node tree to an allocated string. CHANGES IN Mini-XML 1.1 - The mxmlLoadFile() function now uses dynamically allocated string buffers for element names, attribute names, and attribute values. Previously they were capped at 16383, 255, and 255 bytes, respectively. - Added a new mxmlLoadString() function for loading an XML node tree from a string. - Added a new mxmlSaveString() function for saving an XML node tree to a string. - Add emulation of strdup() if the local platform does not provide the function. CHANGES IN Mini-XML 1.0 - The mxmldoc program now handles function arguments, structures, unions, enumerations, classes, and typedefs properly. - Documentation provided via mxmldoc and more in-line comments in the code. - Added man pages and packaging files. CHANGES IN Mini-XML 0.93 - New mxmldoc example program that is also used to create and update code documentation using XML and produce HTML reference pages. - Added mxmlAdd() and mxmlRemove() functions to add and remove nodes from a tree. This provides more flexibility over where the nodes are inserted and allows nodes to be moved within the tree as needed. - mxmlLoadFile() now correctly handles comments. - mxmlLoadFile() now supports the required "gt", "quot", and "nbsp" character entities. - mxmlSaveFile() now uses newlines as whitespace when valid to do so. - mxmlFindElement() now also takes attribute name and attribute value string arguments to limit the search to specific elements with attributes and/or values. NULL pointers can be used as "wildcards". - Added uninstall target to makefile, and auto-reconfig if Makefile.in or configure.in are changed. - mxmlFindElement(), mxmlWalkNext(), and mxmlWalkPrev() now all provide "descend" arguments to control whether they descend into child nodes in the tree. - Fixed some whitespace issues in mxmlLoadFile(). - Fixed Unicode output and whitespace issues in mxmlSaveFile(). - mxmlSaveFile() now supports a whitespace callback to provide more human-readable XML output under program control. CHANGES IN Mini-XML 0.92 - mxmlSaveFile() didn't return a value on success. CHANGES IN Mini-XML 0.91 - mxmlWalkNext() would go into an infinite loop. CHANGES IN Mini-XML 0.9 - Initial public release.
