<s1 title="Releases">
<s2 title="Xerces-C Version 1.2.0: June 19, 2000">
<ul>
<li>SAX: Allow any PI occurring before the root element to be reported
to the application using the registered document handler.</li>
<li>DOM: reduced memory usage for elements with no attributes.</li>
<li>DOMString - add const to return type of <code>const XMLCh
*DOMString::rawBuffer()</code>.</li>
<li>Fix crash with Solaris optimized build. Modified XMLURL.cpp to
dodge compiler code generation error.</li>
<li>Bug fix: DOM Attr Specified flag was incorrectly set when cloning or
importing attributes.</li>
<li>MSVC projects modified to produce separate debug and release
versions of Xerces lib and dll.</li>
<li>Bug fix: DOMPrint, SAXPrint produced garbage output on Solaris.
Solaris library problem.</li>
<li>Fixed incorrect error check for end of file in Win32 platfrom
utils.</li>
<li>DOMPrint enhancements. Add options for specifying character
encoding of the output, better control over escaping of characters,
better handling of CDATA sections. Default validation is now
'auto'.</li>
<li>XMLFormatter now escapes characters, as reqd., occuring midway in
strings.</li>
<li>Bug fix in implementation of
<code>DOM_Document::GetElementById()</code>.</li>
<li>Documentation, DTD for source xml files moved into xerces-c project,
sbk: prefixes removed, xml can now be validated locally.</li>
<li>Fixed 'fatal error' when 'reusing the validator'.</li>
<li>Changed <code>#include &lt;memory.h&gt;</code> to
<code>&lt;string.h&gt;</code> everywhere.</li>
<li>DOMTest: removed incorrectly failing entity tests.</li>
<li>Revised implementation of
<code>DOMDocument::getElementsById()</code>, removed memory leaks,
new test program for it.</li>
<li>Bug fix - A PE ref appearing at the start of a skipped conditional
section was incorrectly being processed rather than ignored.</li>
<li>Start using the socket based netaccessor by default on most Unix
platforms.</li>
<li>Update ICUTransService to work with latest revision of ICU which
provides a hard linked data DLL. i.e. icudata.dll will be loaded
when xerces-c is loaded.</li>
<li>Problem with progressive parsing. parseNext() would throw an
exception when the document contains entities, either internal or
external.</li>
<li>Add missing validity checks for stand-alone documents, character
range and Well-formed parsed entities.</li>
<li>Fix: compilation problems on MSVC 5.</li>
<li>Fix: XMLReader defect.</li>
<li>Fix: problem with Windows filenames containing '\' in Japanese and
Korean encodings.</li>
<li>Memory Cleanup. XMLPlatformUtils::Terminate() deletes all lazily
allocated memory.</li>
<li>Fixed defect in progressive parsing 'parseNext()'.</li>
<li>Fixed Solaris build problems with static character constants.</li>
<li>Reduced memory usage for DOM Attributes.</li>
<li>New runConfigure options -P and -C.</li>
<li>Memory leaks in TransService.</li>
<li>DOM - storage requirements for nodes substantially reduced.</li>
<li>Added DOM XMLDecl node type; provides access to XML
declaration.</li>
<li>Added DOM access to internal DTD subset (DOM Level 2 feature).</li>
<li>API document generation changed to DOxygen from Doc++.</li>
<li>Full support for DOM_EntityReference, DOM_Entity and
DOM_DocumentType introduced.</li>
<li>Don't allow spaces before PI target.</li>
<li>Follow the SMP/E procedures for the OS/390 BATCH install.</li>
<li>Auto-validate mode. Validate only when a DTD is present.</li>
<li>If a SAX error handler is installed, then the resetErrors() event
handler should call the one on the installed SAX error handler.</li>
<li>Allow an empty DOCTYPE declaration, with just the root name.</li>
<li>Add low level support for transcoding XML output to different
character encodings.</li>
<li>DOM node memory footprint reduction.</li>
<li>Fixed hanging bug in character transcoding.</li>
<li>Enable installation of DTDHandler on SAX parser.</li>
<li>Support for PTX platform.</li>
<li>IRIX 6.5 port.</li>
<li>COM wrappers.</li>
<li>DOM_Document::GetElementsByTagId() added.</li>
<li>DOM: support for identifying &quot;ignorable white space&quot; text
nodes.</li>
<li>URL Net Accessor added.</li>
<li>Fix null pointer exception with some bad documents.</li>
<li>Initial support for two-way transcoding.</li>
<li>Intrinsic transcoding table generation utility added.</li>
<li>UNIX build: Now generates object files in platform-specific
directories.</li>
<li>Fix GCC build problem: Changed XML_GNUG to XML_GCC.</li>
<li>Fixed #54. Changed self-assignment to now use the parameter
value.</li>
<li>Fix bug # 19, add const keyword to API. As a result, update test
case.</li>
<li>DOM: 'specified' flag of attributes now set correctly.</li>
<li>Some fixes for content models that have multiple, trailing, empty PE
refs (for content model extension).</li>
<li>First cut for additions to Win32 xcode. Based very loosely on a
prototype from Eric Ulevik.</li>
<li>Fixed a bug in SimpleContentModel that allowed an &lt;a/&gt; to be
taken as valid for a content model of (a,b).</li>
<li>Added a scanReset()/parseReset() method to the scanner and parsers,
to allow for reset after early exit from a progressive parse. Added
calls to new Terminate() call to all of the samples. Improved
documentation in SAX and DOM parsers.</li>
<li>Change 'XML4C' to 'Xerces' in many places.</li>
<li>Add a cleanup method to XMLPlatformUtils.</li>
<li>Implement the Locator scheme for SAX.</li>
<li>Add a -n option to most of the samples, to enable namespaces.</li>
<li>Fix an error where XMLScanner::parseNext() was falling through on an
exception instead of return a failure.</li>
<li>Implement the specialized string loading for Win98, since
LoadStringW() doesn't work on 98 and makes the loaded error text from
the Win32 message loader come out junk.</li>
<li>Fix: error when two trailing entity references in a content model,
like: &lt;!ELEMENT foo (a|b|c|d|e %one;%two;)*&gt;</li>
</ul>
