### Breaking changes
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The Docbook parser module and all related symbols habe been removed completely.
|
||||||
|
This was experimental code which never worked and generated a deprecation
|
||||||
|
warning for 15+ years. The library's soname wasn't changed in order to allow
|
||||||
|
seamless upgrades to later versions. If this concerns you, consider bumping
|
||||||
|
soname yourself.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Some other modules are now disabled by default and will eventually be removed
|
||||||
|
completely:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Support for XPointer locations (ranges and points): This was based on
|
||||||
|
a W3C specification which never got beyond Working Draft status. To my
|
||||||
|
knowledge, there's no software supporting this spec which is still
|
||||||
|
maintained. You now have to enable this code by passing the
|
||||||
|
`--with-xptr-locs` configuration option. Be warned that this part of
|
||||||
|
the code base is buggy and had many security issues in the past.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Support for the built-in FTP client (`--with-ftp`).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Support for "legacy" functions (`--with-legacy`).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you're concerned about ABI stability and haven't disabled these modules
|
||||||
|
already, add the following configuration options or bump soname yourself:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
--with-ftp
|
||||||
|
--with-legacy
|
||||||
|
--with-xptr-locs
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Several functions of the public API were deprecated. Most of them should be
|
||||||
|
completely unused and will generate a deprecation warning now.
