| <s3 title="Changes for &xslt4c; version 1.9"> |
| <p>Major updates since version 1.8 include:</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Pluggable Memory Management. This feature allows applications to maintain precise control over memory allocations. This |
| will allow users, with knowledge of their application's characteristics, to provide a more efficient allocation method |
| than the general purpose procedures provided by the system. for more information on how to use this feature, please see |
| the <link idref="programming" anchor="memory">Pluggable Memory Management</link> section of the Programming page.</li> |
| <li>Improved stability on the execution of large stylesheets and XML documents. Because the current implementation relies on |
| function recursion, certain stylesheets/input documents may cause the program stack to overflow and cause the application |
| to fail. It also may inhibit executing stylesheets that are heavily dependent on recursive functions. This feature will |
| prevent these types of failure. </li> |
| <li>Provided a global option to pool all text node strings. This feature allows developers to set a flag to determine if a |
| parsed source tree will pool the values of all of the text nodes in the XML document. By doing so, this can result in a |
| significant reduction in memory usage, particularly if there are a lot of repeated values in text nodes. Please see |
| the class descriptions for <jump href="apiDocs/classXalanSourceTreeDocument.html">XalanSourceTreeDocument</jump>, |
| <jump href="apiDocs/classXalanDefaultParsedSource.html">XalanDefaultParsedSource</jump>, and |
| <jump href="apiDocs/classXalanTransformer.html">XalanTransformer</jump> in the <jump href="apiDocs/index.html"> |
| API Reference</jump> section for more information.</li> |
| <li>Added support for Microsoft Studio .NET V7.1. Project files for Microsoft Studio .NET V7.1 have been provided under the |
| directory xml-xalan\c\Projects\Win32\VC7.1.</li> |
| <li>Upgrade from Xerces-C 2.5 to Xerces-C 2.6. </li> |
