Release 2.2.8 Fri Septemper 13 2019
        Security fixes:
       #317 #318  CVE-2019-15903 -- Fix heap overflow triggered by
                    XML_GetCurrentLineNumber (or XML_GetCurrentColumnNumber),
                    and deny internal entities closing the doctype;
                    fixed in commit c20b758c332d9a13afbbb276d30db1d183a85d43

        Bug fixes:
            #240  Fix cases where XML_StopParser did not have any effect
                    when called from inside of an end element handler
            #341  xmlwf: Fix exit code for operation without "-d DIRECTORY";
                    previously, only "-d DIRECTORY" would give you a proper
                    exit code:
                      # xmlwf -d . <<<'<not well-formed>' 2>/dev/null ; echo $?
                      2
                      # xmlwf <<<'<not well-formed>' 2>/dev/null ; echo $?
                      0
                    Now both cases return exit code 2.

        Other changes:

        Bug fixes:
             #32  Fix sharing of hash salt across parsers;
                    relevant where XML_ExternalEntityParserCreate is called
                    prior to XML_Parse, in particular (e.g. FBReader)

                    as a single chunk) for files larger than ~1 GB (2^30 bytes)

          #2895533: CVE-2012-1147 - Resource leak in readfilemap.c.

        - Bug Fixes:
          #1742315: Harmful XML_ParserCreateNS suggestion.
          #1785430: Expat build fails on linux-amd64 with gcc version>=4.1 -O3.
          #1983953, 2517952, 2517962, 2649838: 
                Build modifications using autoreconf instead of buildconf.sh.
          #2815947, #2884086: OBJEXT and EXEEXT support while building.
          #2517938: xmlwf should return non-zero exit status if not well-formed.
          #2517946: Wrong statement about XMLDecl in xmlwf.1 and xmlwf.sgml.

          #3312568: CMake support.
          #3446384: Report byte offsets for attr names and values.
        - New Features / API changes:
          Added new API member XML_SetHashSalt() that allows setting an initial
                value (salt) for hash calculations. This is part of the fix for
                bug #3496608 to randomize hash parameters.
          When compiled with XML_ATTR_INFO defined, adds new API member
                XML_GetAttributeInfo() that allows retrieving the byte
                offsets for attribute names and values (patch #3446384).
          Added CMake build system.
                See bug #2990652 and patch #3312568.
          Added run-benchmark target to Makefile.in - relies on testdata module
                present in the same relative location as in the repository.
          
Release 2.0.1 Tue June 5 2007
        - Fixed bugs #1515266, #1515600: The character data handler's calling
          of XML_StopParser() was not handled properly; if the parser was
          stopped and the handler set to NULL, the parser would segfault.
        - Fixed bug #1690883: Expat failed on EBCDIC systems as it assumed
          some character constants to be ASCII encoded.
        - Minor cleanups of the test harness.
        - Fixed xmlwf bug #1513566: "out of memory" error on file size zero.
        - Fixed outline.c bug #1543233: missing a final XML_ParserFree() call.
        - Fixes and improvements for Windows platform:
          bugs #1409451, #1476160, #1548182, #1602769, #1717322.
        - Build fixes for various platforms:
          HP-UX, Tru64, Solaris 9: patch #1437840, bug #1196180.
          All Unix: #1554618 (refreshed config.sub/config.guess).
                    #1490371, #1613457: support both, DESTDIR and INSTALL_ROOT,
                    without relying on GNU-Make specific features.
          #1647805: Patched configure.in to work better with Intel compiler.
        - Fixes to Makefile.in to have make check work correctly:
          bugs #1408143, #1535603, #1536684.
        - Added Open Watcom support: patch #1523242.

Release 2.0.0 Wed Jan 11 2006
        - We no longer use the "check" library for C unit testing; we
          always use the (partial) internal implementation of the API.
        - Report XML_NS setting via XML_GetFeatureList().
        - Fixed headers for use from C++.
        - XML_GetCurrentLineNumber() and  XML_GetCurrentColumnNumber()
          now return unsigned integers.
        - Added XML_LARGE_SIZE switch to enable 64-bit integers for
          byte indexes and line/column numbers.
        - Updated to use libtool 1.5.22 (the most recent).
        - Added support for AmigaOS.
        - Some mostly minor bug fixes. SF issues include: #1006708,
          #1021776, #1023646, #1114960, #1156398, #1221160, #1271642.

Release 1.95.8 Fri Jul 23 2004
        - Major new feature: suspend/resume.  Handlers can now request
          that a parse be suspended for later resumption or aborted
          altogether.  See "Temporarily Stopping Parsing" in the
          documentation for more details.
        - Some mostly minor bug fixes, but compilation should no
          longer generate warnings on most platforms.  SF issues
          include: #827319, #840173, #846309, #888329, #896188, #923913,
          #928113, #961698, #985192.

Release 1.95.7 Mon Oct 20 2003
        - Fixed enum XML_Status issue (reported on SourceForge many
          times), so compilers that are properly picky will be happy.
        - Introduced an XMLCALL macro to control the calling
          convention used by the Expat API; this macro should be used
          to annotate prototypes and definitions of callback
          implementations in code compiled with a calling convention
          other than the default convention for the host platform.
        - Improved ability to build without the configure-generated
          expat_config.h header.  This is useful for applications
          which embed Expat rather than linking in the library.

        - Fixed UTF-8 decoding bug that caused legal UTF-8 to be rejected.
        - Finally fixed bug where default handler would report DTD
          events that were already handled by another handler.
          Initial patch contributed by Darryl Miles.
        - Removed unnecessary DllMain() function that caused static
          linking into a DLL to be difficult.
        - Added VC++ projects for building static libraries.
        - Reduced line-length for all source code and headers to be
          no longer than 80 characters, to help with AS/400 support.

Release 1.95.3 Mon Jun 3 2002
        - Added a project to the MSVC workspace to create a wchar_t
          version of the library; the DLLs are named libexpatw.dll.
        - Changed the name of the Windows DLLs from expat.dll to
          libexpat.dll; this fixes SF bug #432456.
        - Added the XML_ParserReset() API function.
        - Fixed XML_SetReturnNSTriplet() to work for element names.
        - Made the XML_UNICODE builds usable (thanks, Karl!).

        - Added the -Wall, -Wstrict-prototypes options for GCC.

Release 1.95.1 Sun Oct 22 15:11:36 EDT 2000
        - Changes to get expat to build under Microsoft compiler
        - Removed all aborts and instead return an UNEXPECTED_STATE error.
        - Fixed a bug where a stray '%' in an entity value would cause an
          abort.
        - Defined XML_SetEndNamespaceDeclHandler. Thanks to Darryl Miles for

Release 1.95.0 Fri Sep 29 2000
        - XML_ParserCreate_MM
                Allows you to set a memory management suite to replace the
                standard malloc,realloc, and free.
        - XML_SetReturnNSTriplet
                If you turn this feature on when namespace processing is in
                effect, then qualified, prefixed element and attribute names
                are returned as "uri|name|prefix" where '|' is whatever
                separator character is used in namespace processing.
        - Merged in features from perl-expat
                o XML_SetElementDeclHandler
                o XML_SetAttlistDeclHandler
                o XML_SetXmlDeclHandler
                o XML_SetEntityDeclHandler
                o StartDoctypeDeclHandler takes 3 additional parameters:
                        sysid, pubid, has_internal_subset
                o Many paired handler setters (like XML_SetElementHandler)
                  now have corresponding individual handler setters
                o XML_GetInputContext for getting the input context of
                  the current parse position.
        - Added reference material
        - Packaged into a distribution that builds a sharable library
