Changes for version 2.29 - 2000-05-21

  • In expat, notation declaration handler registration wasn't surviving through external entity references.
  • Chase Tingley <tingley@sundell.net> discovered that text accumulation in the Stream style wasn't working across processing instructions and recommended the appropriate fix.
  • Jochen Wiedmann <jochen.wiedmann@softwareag.com>, noted that you couldn't use ExpatNB directly because it wasn't setting the protective _State_ variable. Now doing this in the parse_more method of ExpatNB.
  • At the suggestion of Grant Hopwood <hopwoodg@valero.com>, now calling the env_proxy method on the LWP::UserAgent in the LWP external entity handler when it's created to set any proxies from environment variables.
  • Grant McLean, Matt Sergeant (& others I may have missed) noted that loading the LWP & URI modules slowed startup of the module, even if the application didn't need it. The default LWP handler is now dynamicly loaded (along with LWP & URI modules) the first time an external entity is referenced. Also provided a NoLWP option to XML::Parser that forces the file based external entity handler.
  • Fixed allocation errors in element declaration patches in expat
  • The Expat base method now works, even before expat starts parsing.
  • Changed the canonical script to take an optional file argument.
  • Enno Derksen <enno@att.com> reported that the attlist handler was not returning NOTATION type attlist information.
  • Michel Rodriguez <mrodrigu@ieee.org>, noted that the constructor for XML::Parser objects no longer checked for the existence of applications installed external entity handlers before installing the default ones.
  • Burkhard Meier <burkhard.meier@ixos.de> sent in a fix for compiler directives in Expat/Makefile.PL for Win32 machines. A change in 5.6.0 caused the old conditional to fail.
  • Forgot to document changes to the Entity declaration handler: there is an additional "IsParam" argument that indicates whether or not the entity is a parameter entity. This information is no longer passed on in the name.
  • Ben Low <ben@snrc.uow.edu.au> reported an undefined macro with version 5.004_04.
