CHANGES - 02/25/2005
--------------------
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.
