Revision history for Perl extension XML::Xerces. 2.7.0-0 Sun Jan 1 08:44:27 IST 2006 - first public 2.7 release - working with SWIG-1.3.28 pre-release - removed all uses of XMLString::transcode() from the Perl callback handler classes in Handler/ 2.6.0-2 - first public 2.6 release - all known memory leaks fixed - all known segfaults fixed (especially with regards to exception handling) - perhaps this will fix AIX? 2.6.0-1 - second beta 2.6 release 2.6.0-0 - first attempt at 2.6 release - most memory leaks resovlved 2.3.0-5 - fifth bugfix release of 2.3.0 series. - added new samples: validator.pl, memtest.pl, xerces-memtest.pl 2.3.0-4 Sun Nov 10 12:03:30 IST 2003 - fourth bugfix release of 2.3.0 series. - exposed new API components for DTDValidator and SchemaValidator - added XML::Xerces::XMLCatalogResolver, for a standard way of using XMLCatalog to resolve file locations - added new samples: samples/DOM2hash.pl, samples/EnumVal.pl, and samples/SEnumVal.pl - improved Win32 support 2.3.0-3 Sun Nov 2 12:03:30 IST 2003 - third bugfix release of 2.3.0 series. - fixed output of all XMLUni::* constants (thanks to Christian Orsatti for pointing this out) - added LocalFileFormatTarget (thanks to Christian Orsatti for pointing this out) - added hints/darwin.pl (thanks to Adam Whitney for helping with this) - added cygwin fix for Xerces-C libname (thanks to Stephen Long for helping with this) - added fixes for Win32 (thanks to Martin Raspe for helping with this) 2.3.0-2 Mon Oct 13 01:03:51 IST 2003 - second bugfix release of 2.3.0 series. - fixes isAnySlash() error 2.3.0-1 Aug 09 2003 - first bugfix release of 2.3.0 series. - fixes support for Attributes::getValue(int) and AttributeList::getValue(int) - added support for MacOS X. 2.3.0-0 Aug 09 2003 - First public release that supports Xerces-C-2.3.0 2.1.0-1 Mon Dec 9 13:56:08 MST 2002 - Second public release that supports Xerces-C-2.1.0 - made all tests use Test::More - fixed entity resolution in Schema.t test - fixed other minor bugs in other tests 2.1.0-0 Sun Dec 8 23:59:34 MST 2002 - First public release that supports Xerces-C-2.1.0 - Added missing operator!= for DOMNode 2.0.0-2 Mon Dec 9 12:31:38 MST 2002 - Second release that supports Xerces-C-2.0.0 - made all tests use Test::More - fixed entity resolution in Schema.t test - fixed other minor bugs in other tests 2.0.0-1 Sun Dec 8 23:02:42 MST 2002 - First public release that supports Xerces-C-2.0.0 - Removed support for XMLScanner - Removed DOMParse support, instead DOMWriter from DOM Level 3 is used 1.7.0-1 Wed Apr 24 22:07:13 MDT 2002 - Second release that supports Xerces-C-1.7.0 - Added support for DOM_NodeIterator and DOM_TreeWalker - Added basic support for XMLScanner - DOM_Document's will now stay alive even if the DOMParser that created them goes out of scope. This means it is possible to have a subroutine that parses a file and returns the resulting DOM_Document. This used to cause a segfault. - Fixed overloaded InputSource constructors that were using char* versions instead of Unicode versions - Many internal changes that improve code generation and maintenance, thanks to the ever-improving SWIG. 1.7.0_0 Sun Mar 24 18:26:37 MST 2002 - Mirrors Xerces-C-1.7.0 release - The DOM API is now implemented by the Xerces-C IDOM implementation (see README for issues) - All dynamic casting of DOM_Node*'s is now done internally by the C++ code. This means that calls to DOM_Node::actual_cast are now unnecessary. - ensured that methods which return DOM_NodeList's and DOM_NamedNodeMap's will never return undef in an array context (instead they return the empty list). 1.6.0_0 Wed Feb 20 20:29:00 MST 2002 - Mirrors Xerces-C-1.6.0 release 1.5.2_0 Fri Nov 2 11:38:02 MST 2001 - Mirrors Xerces-C-1.5.2 release - Version numbering change, to reflect that this is the first release of XML::Xerces to require Xerces-C-1.5.2 - Unicode now works! I modified all I/O between Perl and Xerces-C to use transcoders to properly convert between Perl's internal UTF-8 format and Xerces-C's internal UTF-16 format. - IDOM operators (== and !=) now work - I?DOM_Attr::setAttribute() will now accept integer and floating point values as well as strings, so you no longer need to wrap them in strings. - New sample application: IDOMPrint.pl - All overloaded methods (except DOM API) are now supported. 1.5.7 Sun Oct 7 10:36:23 MDT 2001 - cerr is no longer used by any source files, so compile problems with libstdc++ should be gone. - removed lots of unnecessary stuff from Xerces.C, so some architecture specific compile issues should be gone. - MemBufInputSource no longer requires a fake system id as an argument to the constructor, you may supply one, but this is optional - DOM_Attr::setAttributes() no longer segfaults if 'undef' is passed for the attribute or its value. - hints/ directory now exists to help isolate the architecture-specific pieces of Makefile.PL. Currently there is a file for Solaris_2, DEC_OSF, and Linux. - Thanks to major improvements in SWIG, it is now easier to support overloaded methods. The following classes/methods are currently supported: *Parser XMLPScanToken *InputSource XMLURL *::operator= *::operator== *::operator!= - Added samples/IDOMCount.pl - Thanks to major improvements in the SWIG parser, the majority of the private header files in Xerces_headers are no longer needed, only three parse errors remain. - Thanks to major improvements in SWIG, the internal code generation is greatly simplified. 1.5.6 Mon Sep 10 01:19:29 MDT 2001 - MAJOR MEMORY FIX: All callbacks were leaking memory like a sieve. This was especially noticeable with SAX 1/2 interfaces when parsing large (~200Mb) files. It appears that the Xerces-C SAX2 implementation still has leaks somewhere, but SAX1 seems fine now. 1.5.5 Wed Sep 5 23:01:03 MDT 2001 - Support for the SAX2 Attributes interface added - Major memory fix, was not freeing memory for parsers. - IDOMParser now has overloaded parse() and parseFirst() - DOMParse.pm: fixed warnings about \1 usage in regexp 1.5.4 Wed Aug 1 20:49:31 MDT 2001 - Support for Xerces-C-1.5.1 - EntityResolver interface is now supported (see t/EntityResolver.t for examples of use XML Catalogs to resolve your DTD's) - Began adding architecture specific compile options for linux and Solaris. - Added PORTS to describe any steps needed to get Xerces.pm to compile on different architectures - Beginnings of a FAQ 1.5.3 Wed Jul 10 11:36:16 MDT 2001 - Important fix for RedHat 6.2 users, iostream from gcc 2.91 chokes on -Dbool=char, so #undef bool is needed - XERCES_DEVEL no longer needs to be set to get Xerces.C to compile. 1.5.2 Wed Jul 10 10:36:16 MDT 2001 - Due to a mistake in SAX2XMLReader.hpp, 1.5.1 could only be compiled against the Xerces-C CVS version of 1.5 1.5.1 Wed Jul 9 10:36:16 MDT 2001 - New Xerces 1.5 functionality: * Schema validation * Preliminary support for new IDOM interface (see README for important details using IDOM) - 'perl Makefile.PL' now dies unless libxerces is found - All overloaded DOMParser::parse() methods are now supported - Full Exception handling - all known Xerces-C exceptions are now handled in Xerces.pm, with default handlers and user-definable perl handlers. - now using digital signatures to ensure release integrity, see README for details 1.5.0 Tue Jun 26 15:15:52 MDT 2001 - First 1.5 release, but none of the extra 1.5 functionality is included (sorry, help porting is welcome). - Fixed Makefile.PL bug that automatically forced remaking Xerces.pm and Xerces.C, whenever one of the Handler/*.o files was modified - SWIG use can only be activated by setting the $XERCES_DEVEL environment variable. This should eliminate future accidental miscompilings of Xerces.pm and Xerces.C 1.4.1 Wed Jun 13 23:25:51 MDT 2001 - Inheritance of all Xerces classes now works! For example, it is possible to subclass any of the DOM_Node classes with your own Perl-based ones without throwing SWIG runtime type checking errors. - test scripts now use PerlContentHandler and PerlDocumentHandler classes for SAX 1.0 and 2.0. - general cleanup of test script output. Some tests marked as 'should fail', that means a Xerces-C feature is broken and so the failure is just a placeholder until they fix it. - Fixed bugs in test scripts. In Perl prior to 5.6 buffered IO was handled differently, and file handles need to be closed to ensure a flush of the data. (thanks to "Matthew D. Langston" , and "Benjamin Low" ). - XMLException's are now supported via the PerlExceptionHandler class. These exceptions are thrown outside of parsing and are not handled by the standard ErrorHandler mechanism. 1.4.0 Mon Apr 16 23:04:48 MST 2001 - first support for Xerces-C 1.4 - Preliminary support for SAX 2.0. Including new PerlDocumentHandler and PerlContentHandler classes. - More of XMLPlatformUtils exposed 1.3.5 Mon Apr 16 09:18:14 MST 2001 - bug fix release, Xerces.C got corrupted in 1.3.4 - fixed path in t/SAXCount.t 1.3.4 Fri Apr 13 16:51:05 MST 2001 - Major Addition: SAX 1.0 interface is now supported. - default error handlers now have a 'FILE:' line in output - numerous new tests were added - DOMParse.pm now requires XMLDecl node for processing DOM - finally admitted the 'Use of uninitizialed value ... in global destruction' warning is more than I can handle. It's just a warning. It's too low down in SWIG for me to fix. - I'll have to wait to swith to 1.4 until all SAX 1.0 and 2.0 API's are fully supported 1.3.3 Thu Mar 22 16:48:21 MST 2001 - No... *This* should be the final 1.3 release ;-) - Fixed numerous small problems in TestUtils.pm, including an creating the default error handler as a global variable instead of lexical variable, all test now succeed - XML::Xerces now has three non-exported functions that can be used by error handlers => error(), fatal_erro(), and warning(). - DOMCount.pl and DOMPrint.pl now support a -n option to specify namespace support 1.3.2 Thu Mar 15 09:12:41 MST 2001 - Should be the final 1.3 release - namespace is finally XML::Xerces - special Perl API for DOM_NodeList and DOM_NamedNodeMap - Developer package is now much cleaner: both SWIG 1.1 and 1.3 work from same source files 1.3.1 Thu Mar 8 22:46:40 MST 2001 - Tom Watson's sample files ported to 1.3 API (DOMCount.pl, DOMCreate.pl, and DOMPrint.pl) - Tom Watson's Xerces::DOMParse module ported to 1.3 API 1.3.0 Wed Mar 7 09:29:10 MST 2001 - initial release of Harmon Nine's 1.3 port - Linux is now the only supported platform ### *** emacs file mode definition *** ### Local Variables: ### mode:text ### mode:filladapt ### End:
