Changes for version 2.18

  • Alberto Accomazzi <alberto@cfa0.harvard.edu> pointed out that the DESTROY sub in the new XML::Parser::Encinfo package was pointing to the wrong package for calling FreeEncoding.
  • Tarang Kumar Patel <mombasa@ptolemy.arc.nasa.gov> reported the mis-declaration of an integer as unsigned in the convert_to_unicode function in Expat.xs.
  • Glenn R. Kronschnabl <grk@arlut.utexas.edu> reported a problem with ExternEnt handlers when using parsefile. Turned out to be an unmatched ENTER; SAVETMPS pair that screwed up the Perl stack.
  • Tom Hughes <tom@compton.demon.co.uk> reported that the fix I put in for the swith to PL_sv.. names failed with 5.0005_54, since these became real variables instead of macros. Switched to just checking the PATCHLEVEL macro.
  • Yoshida Masato <yoshidam@inse.co.jp> provided the EUC-JP encodings (the corresponding XML files are in XML::Encoding 1.01 or later.)
  • With the advice of MURATA Makoto <murata@apsdc.ksp.fujixerox.co.jp>, removed the Shift_JIS encoding and replaced it with 4 variations he provided. He also provided an explanatory message.
  • Added the recognized_string method to Expat, deprecating default_current.
  • Now using expat Version 19981122 from James Clark's test directory (this fixes another bug with external entity reference handlers)
  • Added a default external entity handler that only accesses file: based URLs.
