Support for RELAX NG used to be enabled together with XML Schema support
(--with-schemas). Now there's a separate option and a new feature macro
LIBXML_RELAXNG_ENABLED.
The latest spec for what it essentially an XPath extension seems to be
this working draft from 2002:
https://www.w3.org/TR/xptr-xpointer/
The xpointer() scheme is listed as "being reviewed" in the XPointer
registry since at least 2006. libxml2 seems to be the only modern
software that tries to implement this spec, but the code has many bugs
and quality issues.
If you configure --with-legacy, old symbols are retained for ABI
compatibility.
This is a slight break of the API, but users really shouldn't modify the
global error struct. The goal is to make xmlLastError use static buffers
for its strings eventually. This should warn people if they're abusing
the struct.
Add a new configuration flag that controls whether the outdated support
for XPointer locations (ranges and points) is enabled.

LIBXML2_WITH_XPTR_LOCS # CMake

The flag defaults to "off" and support for this extensions has to be
requested explicitly. The relevant API functions are deprecated.
On Windows, we don't have fcntl() which helps us to find out how a file was
opened, so we need to resort to the Windows API NtQueryInformationFile() in
ntdll.dll to help us, and compare the file access modes as appropriate to
deduce the modes we want to pass into fdopen().
As all official Python 3.x releases are built against newer Windows CRTs that
toughen checks on the validity of the file descriptor when we convert the fd to
a native Windows File Handle using _get_osfhandle(), we need to define an empty
handler so that the program does not abort if the fd that was passed in was
invalid; instead, we just return NULL if _get_osfhandle() could not return us a
valid Windows File Handle.
In C, if expressions should be parenthesized.
PyLong_Check, PyUnicode_Check etc. happened to expand to a parenthesized
expression before, but that's not API to rely on.
Since Python 3.9.0a4 it needs to be parenthesized explicitly.
Fixes https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libxml2/issues/149
while still compiling on recent Python2:
- change the handling of files, tweak the generator, get the fd
instead of the FILE *, dup it and fdopen based on mode, add a
Release function on Python3 and call to flush from the generated
python stubs
- switch to using Capsules instead of CObjects
- fix PyString to PyBytes
- fix PyInt to PyLong
- tweak the module registration to compile on both versions
- drop PyInstance check for passed xmlNodes and instead check
attributes presence
