Changes for version 2.22 - 1999-04-04

  • Loic Dachary <loic@ceic.com> reported a core dump with a small file with a comment that wasn't properly closed. Fixed in expat by updating positionPtr properly in final call of XML_Parse. (Reported to & acknowledged by James Clark.)
  • Made more fixes to Expat.xs position calculation.
  • Loic Dachary <loic@ceic.com> provided patches for fixing a memory growth problem with large documents. (Garbage collection wasn't happening frequently enough.)
  • As suggested by Gabe Beged-Dov <begeddov@jfinity.com>, added a non-blocking parse mechanism:
    • Added parse_start method to XML::Parser, which returns a XML::Parser::ExpatNB object.
    • Added XML::Parser::ExpatNB class, which is a subclass of Expat and has the additional methods parse_more & parse_done
  • Made some performance tweaks as suggested by performance thread on perl-xml discussion list. [With negligible results]
  • Tried to clarify Tree style structure in Parser pod
