XML Libraries Windows Binaries

This semi-internal release contains the builds of libxml2 2.9.12 and libxslt 1.1.34 for 32- and 64-bit Microsoft Windows systems.

0.9.1

This release mostly contains build-related changes:

• The library doesn't depend on Boost at all any more.
• It can now be compiled by C++17 (or even C++20) compilers, including MSVS 2017/2019, projects for which are included in the distribution.
• DLL version of the library can now be built with MSVS too, and not only gcc (or with gcc without relying on auto-import).

At the API level, new xml::init::change_flag has been added.

Another namespace-related bug was fixed.

0.9.0

Main change is the addition of xml::relaxng for validating XML documents using RelaxNG.

And the usual collection of bug fixes:

• Fix crash when initializing the library from multiple threads concurrently.
• Fix wrong namespace being used for children of a newly inserted node.
• Don't implicitly switch document encoding to Latin-1 when calling get_encoding(), but continue to use UTF-8.

Also fix some harmless warnings during the build.

Bug fix 0.8 release

The only change since 0.8.0 is that the distribution archive now includes the previously forgotten src/xmlwrapp/cpp11.h file and can now be built.

Improved error handling and some new functionality

Version 0.8.0

Improve error handling:

• New behaviour: xml::document::save_to_{string,file}() now throws exception in case of failure by default instead of silently ignoring any errors.
• New behaviour: xpath_context::evaluate() also throws an exception if an invalid XPath expression is specified.

In both cases, ignore_errors can be passed as the new on_error argument to these functions to restore the old behaviour (this is, however, not recommended).

Some new features:

• Added xml::node::move_under().
• Added xml::node::set_namespace().
• Added xml::xpath_context class for evaluating XPath expressions.
• Added xml::nodes_view::erase() analogous to node::erase().

0.7.1

Various compilation and build fixes.

0.7.0

• Changed the xml::node::node(name, content) constructor so that it doesn't create a child text node if the content is empty.
• Added xml::node::set_text_content() for setting unescaped textual content.
• Added xml::exception class, derived from std::runtime_error. Xmlwrapp will throw only this or derived exception, with the exception of std::bad_alloc(), which is still thrown when appropriate.
• Added xml::error_handler and related classes for collecting multiple errors and warnings. Added appropriate forms of constructors and functions to other classes.
• Added xml::node::clear() method.
• Added xml::schema class for XML Schema validation.
• Added xml::document(filename) and xml::document(data, size) constructors for convenient document creation without the need to use tree_parser.
