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.
This implements xmlCtxtParseContent, a better alternative to
xmlParseInNodeContext or xmlParseBalancedChunkMemory. It accepts a
parser context and a parser input, making it a lot more versatile.
xmlParseInNodeContext is now implemented in terms of
xmlCtxtParseContent. This makes sure that xmlParseInNodeContext never
modifies the target document, improving thread safety.
xmlParseInNodeContext is also more lenient now with regard to undeclared
entities.
Fixes#727.
Move source code for xmllint shell to shell.c and move it from the
libxml2 library to the xmllint executable.
Also allow shell to run without XPath and debug modules.
Add stubs for old shell API functions in legacy build mode.
This option would allow for a smaller, but mostly useless minimal build.
But it complicates the symbol availability logic in an insane way and
requires specialized tools like our custom C parser in doc/apibuild.py.
See #717.
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.
Fix many places where malloc failures aren't reported.
Make xmlErrMemory public. This is useful for custom external entity
loaders.
Introduce new API function xmlSwitchEncodingName.
Change the way how we store whether the the parser is stopped. This used
to be signaled by setting ctxt->instate to XML_PARSER_EOF which was
misdesigned and error-prone. Set ctxt->disableSAX to 2 instead and
introduce a macro PARSER_STOPPED. Also stop to remove parser inputs in
xmlHaltParser. This allows to remove many checks of ctxt->instate.
Introduce xmlErrParser to handle errors if a parser context is
available.
