#################################### # Axl Library # # La torre de babel # # 0.5.1 # #################################### Advanced Software Production Line is proud to announce a new Axl Library release. Axl Library is an small and efficient XML toolkit, written in ANSI C, and released under the LGPL, that will allow you to produce efficient and clear code that interfaces with XML data. The library was produced to support XML requirements needed by software developed by Advanced Software Production Line, S.L. At this moment the library is being used by Vortex Library, Af-Arch, Turbulence, Shaper and Fovap. Resources ~~~~~~~~~ Axl Homepage [ http://www.aspl.es/xml ] Advanced Software Production Line, S.L. [ http://www.aspl.es ] This release in short ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Next major stable release. Base library (libaxl) was updated to allow configuring a set of external handler that allows to perform run-time buffered decode operations. This was used to implement libaxl-babel, the foundation to give Axl Library support for more encoding formats than utf-8. Fixed several bugs at the library and some improvements were implemented on axl-knife (like producing a C inline representation for a DTD). Thanks to.. ~~~~~~~~~~~ Benoit Amiaux (report memory leaks on document load failure). Dave Dribin (report and fix compilation errors on Mac OS). Change notifications ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ None. Changes from previous release 0.4.14 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ * [new] Finished support for iso-8859-8 inside axl babel. Updated regression test. * [fix] Updated documentation (new encoding support and some tips to check axl build by using regression test). * [new] Added support for iso-8859-7 into babel and updated regression test to check it. * [fix] Making axl babel to not export encoding header because they are only used internally. * [new] Added support for iso-8859-6 to axl babel. Updated regression test to check it. * [new] Added support for iso-8859-5 encoding inside axl babel. * [new] Added support to babel for iso-8859-4 encoding. * [new] Added support for iso-8859-3 encoding format inside axl babel. Updated regression test to check this new format supported. Updated documentation. * [fix] Added initial documentation to explain how to use axl babel library. * [new] Updating axl error module to include a new to produce axlError reporting without including axlStream parameter, and allowing printf-like arguments. API added: - axl_error_report * [fix] Updated documentation. * [fix] Renaming libaxl_ns_LDADD and libaxl_babel_LDADD, changing LDADD with LIBADD. Error reported by Dave Dribin, while compiling at MacOSX. * [fix] Committing changes to Makefile.am to also export _axl symbols. Added missing libaxl-babel.def file. * [fix] Added explicit references to ../src/libaxl.la object from babel/ and ns/ directory. * [fix] Fixing minor comparison axl_babel_check_utf8_content. * [fix] Fixing babel bug which wasn't detecting codification for utf-8 like documents without xml header declaration. Updated regression test to reproduce and check the fix introduced. * [fix] Fixed memory leaks associated to document loading on situations where the document is erroneous an its unbalanced at the end or the encode detection func fails. Fixes integrated into RT. Reported by Benoit Amiaux. * [fix] Updated regression test to check latest bug found at axl_stream_check_content and support to load large utf-8 files without content declaration. * [fix] Fixed bug inside axl_stream_content_check. * [fix] Making axl stream to not nullify error reference at axl_stream_content_check. * [fix] Making axl doc module to detect a proper encoding configuration and reconfigure document encoding declaration into utf-8 to avoid future problems with other APIs like axl_doc_dump* functions. * [fix] Committing changes to compile all the platform.. * [new] Committing changes to produce a pkg-config file for axl-babel and updating documentation. * [new] Updated axl stream engine to allow configuring an external handler that allows to check content that goes to the application buffer. This is now used to implement utf-8 checks from axl-babel. API added: - axl_stream_content_check (internal) - axl_stream_setup_check - axlStreamContentCheck (handler) * [fix] implemented internal content check for utf-8 files. * [fix] Updating regression tests.. * [fix] Extended regression test to check wrong utf-8 content. * [new] Committing support for iso-8859-9 encoding.. * [fix] Updated regression test to check babel support for iso-8859-9. * [new] Adding files to add support for iso-8859-2 to babel. * [fix] Committing changes to regression test to check iso-8859-2 support. * [fix] Adding to babel support for iso-8859-1. * [fix] Updated regression test to support iso-8859-1 encoding. * [fix] Updating main configure.ac and Makefile.am file to check and build babel. By default enabled as it do not require external support. * [new] Updating regression test to check initial babel features (test_41). Adding documents required by tests. * [new] Finished initial support to connect a set of handler to perform run-time decoding of xml documents opened. GREAT! * [fix] Updated axl stream API to include new functions to support previous feature. API added: - axl_stream_link_full - axl_stream_decode (internal) * [new] Committing first fully working implementation of libaxl-babel, the component that will provide extended format support to axl base library. Added initial support to translate iso-8859-15 content into utf-8 as a plug-in to the axl stream decoder support. API added: - axlBabelTable (type) - axl_babel_init - axl_babel_finish - axl_babel_detect_codification - axl_babel_configure_encoding - axl_babel_check_utf8_content - axl_babel_build_iso885915_table * [new] Updated axl stream API to include a function that allows to check for the numeric value at the stream header: - axl_stream_inspect_code * [new] Added two new handlers to make codification handling to be plug-able and external to the base library. API added: - axlDocDetectCodification (handler) - axlDocConfigureCodification (handler) - axl_doc_set_detect_codification_func - axl_doc_set_configure_codification_func * [fix] moving all files to utf-8 codification and committing some changes.. * [fix] Committing initial implementation to support codifications inside axl. Work in progress.... Updated regression test file to be codified using utf-8. * [new] Added new function to axl stream module that allows to remove some particular string on a given string. API added: - axl_stream_remove * [fix] Committing test files to regression test 41. * [fix] Fixed wrong handling for nodes with only content while dumping xml content using pretty functions. Updated regression test to check this. * [fix] Fixed bug at axl_doc_dump* functions which was causing to not dump comments included at the root level. Updated regression test to check this and the previous bug fix. * [fix] Making axl_doc_dump* functions to not include new white spaces if the comment is found to have starting white spaces (avoid content recursion generation). * [fix] Updated documentation to include some references to axl-knife. * [new] Added support to the tool to detect if input file is newer than output file (--ifnewer) avoiding to recreate it. * [fix] Fixed bug inside DTD parsing which was causing to not properly handle attribute values inside ATTLIST. * [fix] Fixed wrong handling while calling to axl_stream_get_until_zero for streams opened from a file. * [fix] Updated axl regression test to produce new dtd inline files and to check them for its proper parsing. Nice!! * [new] axl-knife: Added initial implementation to produce a C inline representation from a DTD document, allowing to include the DTD inside the code in an easy way. * [new] Updated axl dtd module API to include a function that allows to check if two dtd documents loaded are equal. Updated regression test to check this feature. * [fix] Updated regression test to check support for inline dtd support. * [fix] Added internal check for temporal buffer used inside axl stream. * [fix] Making axl_hash_get to directly return NULL if empty hash is detected.
