I promised it to Rob :-)
So a new release is available on the FTP server:
ftp://xmlsoft.org/pub/xml/
The main changes are a security fix to limit text nodes to 10MB
sur the HUGE parsing option to override but this should avoid some
possible security problems, a limited element traversal API (without
entities recursions though) and a new parser option to enable pre 2.7
SAX behavior:
+ Build fix:
- fix build when HTML support is not included.
+ Bug fixes:
- avoid memory overflow in gigantic text nodes
- indentation problem on the writed (Rob Richards)
- xmlAddChildList pointer problem (Rob Richards and Kevin Milburn)
- xmlAddChild problem with attribute (Rob Richards and Kris Breuker)
- avoid a memory leak in an edge case (Daniel Zimmermann)
- deallocate some pthread data (Alex Ott).
+ Improvements:
- configure option to avoid rebuilding docs (Adrian Bunk)
- limit text nodes to 10MB max by default
- add element traversal APIs
- add a parser option to enable pre 2.7 SAX behavior (Rob Richards)
- add gcc malloc checking (Marcus Meissner)
- add gcc printf like functions parameters checking (Marcus Meissner).
Thanks a lot for everybody who helped, especially Rob who was also
very patient :-)
