Revision history for Perl extension XML::Parser.
2.16
- Fixed bug reported by Enno Derksen <enno@att.com>:
Now treats parameter entity declarations correctly. The entity
handler sees the name beginning with '%' if it's a parameter
entity declaration.
- Nigel Hutchison <nwoh@software-ag.de> pointed out that stream.t
wasn't portable off Unix systems. Replaced with portable version.
- Fixed bug reported by Enno Derksen <enno@att.com>:
XML Declaration was firing off both XMLDecl handler *and* Default
handler.
- Added option NoExpand to Expat to turn off expansion of entity
references when a default handler is set.
2.15 Tue Oct 20 14:50:11 EDT 1998
- In Expat's parse method, account for undefined previous
record separators.
- Simplify a couple of Expat methods.
- Re-ordered Changes entries to put latest changes first.
- In XML::Parser::new, set Handlers if not already set
- New Handler (XMLDecl) for handling XML declarations
- New Handler (Doctype) for handling DOCTYPE declarations
- New Handler (Entity) for handling ENTITY declarations in
the internal subset.
- New Handler (Element) for handling ELEMENT declarations in
the internal subset.
- New Handler (Attlist) for handling ATTLIST declarations in
the internal subset.
- Documented new handlers
- Added t/decl.t to test new handlers
2.14 Sun Oct 11 22:17:15 EDT 1998
- Always use method calls for streams.
- Use perl's input_record_separator to find delimiter (i.e. each
"line" is an entire XML doc with delimiter appended)
- Deal with line being longer than buffer.
2.13 Thu Oct 8 16:58:39 EDT 1998
- Fixed a major oops in Expat.xs where I was trying to decrement
a refcnt on an unallocated SV, leading to a segment violation.
(Why did this show up on HPUX but not Linux?)
2.12 Thu Oct 8 00:05:10 EDT 1998
- Incorporated fix to t/astress.t from <fletch@phydeaux.org> (Mike
Fletcher).
- Change to xmlstats from <dblack@candle.superlink.net> (David
Alan Black)
- Access Handlers_Setters in Expat and Handler_Types in Parser
through object reference (following admonition in perltoot
about class data.)
- Added Stream_Delimiter option to Expat.
- In the parse_stream function in Expat.xs, if we either have a
Stream_Delimiter or if there's no file descriptor, use method
calls instead. For Stream_Delimiter in particular, the function
now uses the getline method so it can check for the delimiter
without consuming stuff past the delimiter from the stream.
2.11 Sun Oct 4 22:15:53 EDT 1998
- Swapped out local patch for expat and swapped in James Clark's
patch.
- Pass on all Parser attributes (other than those excluded by
Non_Expat_Options) to the instance of Expat created at parse time.
- New method for Expat: generate_ns_name
- Split test.pl into t/*.t and change Makefile.PL so we don't do a
useless descent into Expat subdir for testing.
- Stop the numeric warning for eq_name and namespace method.
2.10 Fri Sep 25 18:36:46 EDT 1998
- Uses expat Version 19980924
(with local patch - see Expat/expat/xmlparse/xmlparse.c.diff)
- Use newSVpvn when PERL_VERSION >= 5.005
- Completed xmlfilter
- Added support for namespace processing:
o Namespaces option to XML::Parser and XML::Parser::Expat
o Two new methods in Expat:
namespace - to return namespace associated with name
eq_name - compare 2 names for equality across namespaces.
- Use expat's new SetDefaultHandlerExpand instead of SetDefaultHandler
so that entity expansion may continue even if the default handler
is set.
- Moved test.pl back up main level and changed to work with XML::Parser
- Added tests for namespaces
2.09 Fri Sep 18 10:33:38 EDT 1998
- Fixed errors that caused -w to fret in XML::Parser.
- Fixed depth method in XML::Parser::Expat
- There were a few places in Expat.xs where garbage strings may
have been returned due to the expat library giving us zero-length
strings. Fixed by using a local version of newSVpv where length
means length, even when zero.
- The default handler setter in Expat.xs, was inappropriately setting
cbv->dflt_sv when there was a null handler.
2.08 Thu Sep 17 11:47:13 EDT 1998
- Make XML::Parser higher-level re-usable parser objects. Old object
now becomes XML::Parser::Expat.
- The XML::Parser object now supports the style mechanism very close
to that in the 1.0 version.
2.07 Wed Sep 9 11:03:43 EDT 1998
- Added some samples (xmlcomments & xmlstats)
- Now requires 5.004 (due to sv_catpvf)
- Changed Makefile.PL to allow automatic manification
- Added a test that reads xml spec (to check buffer boundary errors)
2.06 Tue Sep 1 10:40:41 EDT 1998
- Fixed the methods current_line, current_byte, and current_column
- Added some tests
2.05 Mon Aug 31 15:29:42 EDT 1998
- Made Makefile.PL changes suggested by Murray Nesbitt
<murray@ActiveState.com> to support building on Win32
and for making PPM binaries.
- Added method parse
- Changed parsestring and parsefile to use new parse method
- Deprecated parsestring method
- Improved error handling in the ExternEnt handler
2.04 Wed Aug 26 13:25:01 EDT 1998
- Uses expat Version 1.0 of August 14, 1998
- Some document changes
- Changed dist section in Makefile.PL
- Added ExternEnt handler
- Added tests for ExternEnt
2.03 Fri Aug 21 17:19:26 EDT 1998
- Changed InitEncoding to ProtocolEncoding. Default to none.
Pass null string to expat's ParserCreate when there is no
ProtocolEncoding.
- Fixed bug in parsefile & parsestring where they were referring
to an ErrorContext *method* instead of a field.
- Fixed position_in_context bugs:
-- 'last' in do {} while ();
-- insert newline before pointer when no following newline
in buffer.
- Added some additional tests
2.02 Thu Aug 20 14:05:08 EDT 1998
- Fixed parsefile problem reported by
"Robert Hanson" <robertha@zenweb.com>, using a modification of
his suggested fix.
- Responded to problem reported by
Bart Schuller <schuller+perl-xml@lunatech.com>
by pre-expanding parts of the XML_UPD macro to avoid confusing
some versions of gcc.
- Changed the constructor to take the option InitEncoding, which
gets passed to the ParserCreate call. When not given, defaults
to UTF-8.
- Added method position_in_context
- Added Constructor option ErrorContext and added reporting of
errors in context.
2.01 Wed Aug 19 11:42:42 EDT 1998
- Added methods:
default_current, base, current_line, current_column,
current_byte, context
- Added some tests
- parsestring and parsefile now croak if they're re-used
- Filled in some documentation
2.00 Mon Aug 17 12:01:33 EDT 1998
- repackaged with James Clark's most recent expat
- changed to an API closer to expat
1.00 March 1998
- Larry Wall's original version
