This document describes the changes made to the Xmerl application.

+ + + + +
Xmerl 1.2.3 + +
Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions + + +

+ A continuation clause of parse_reference/3 had + it's parameters in wrong order.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-8251 Aux Id: seq11429

+ + +
+ + +
Improvements and New Features + + +

+ A new option to turn off the parsing of an external DTD + is added to xmerl_sax_parser:file/2 and + xmerl_sax_parser:stream/2 + (skip_external_dtd).

+

+ Own Id: OTP-8252 Aux Id: seq11432

+ + +

+ The documentation is now built with open source tools + (xsltproc and fop) that exists on most platforms. One + visible change is that the frames are removed.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-8253

+ + +
+ +
+ +
Xmerl 1.2.2 + +
Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions + + +

+ xmerl_sax_parse:stream/2 failed with + {fatal_error,_, "Continuation function undefined, and + more data needed",_,_} when no continuation function + was defined even though it was a complete document as + input.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-8213

+ + +

+ The namespace URI supplied on unprefixed attributes in + startElement tuples is the same as the URI for the + default namespace. According to the standard the + namespace for an unprefixed attribute should always has + no value.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-8214

+ + +
+ +
+ +
Xmerl 1.2.1 + +
Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions + + +

+ xmerl/include/xmerl.hrl contained internal debug + macros (dbg/2 and DBG/0) which now is moved + to xmerl_internal.hrl. +

+

+ Own Id: OTP-8084 +

+ + +

+ The function xmerl_uri:parse/1 couldn't handle FTP + URIs containing username and password. The default FTP + port constant was also wrong. (Thanks to Steve Vinoski) +

+

+ Own Id: OTP-8156 +

+ + +
+ + +
Improvements and New Features + + +

+ The SAX parser couldn't handle consecutive documents on + the same stream. The return values are now changed so + they return a rest value instead of giving an error about + "erranous information after the end tag". +

+

+ This means that + the functions file/2 and stream/2 now + returns {ok, EventState, Rest} when the parsing is + correct. The rest can then be used as input to a new call + to xmerl_sax_parse:stream/2. If one know that it's + just one document the rest value in the result tuple can + be matched against <<>> or [] + depending on if the input is in binary form or not. +

+

+ Own Id: OTP-8153 Aux Id: seq11388 +

+ + +
+ +
+ + +
Xmerl 1.2 +
Improvements and New Features +

+ In xmerl-1.2 we have added the first Beta version of the new + SAX parser (module: xmerl_sax_parser), it supports XML 1.0. + We call it Beta due to that the validation part is not ready yet and that the + parser still has some known limitations (mostly in the DTD area). +

+

+ Known limitations: +

+ + the external DTD in the DOCTYPE declaration is handled but other external entities are not supported. + the general entity values are just checked in the structure after replacement. + + parsed entities are supported on markup declaration level (e.g. partly replacement of markup + declaration with PEReference is not supported). + + conditionalSect in external DTD's are not supported. + recursive loops in entity declarations are not detected. + +

+ The version is increased from 1.1.12 to 1.2 is due to that the new parser + is dependent on the Unicode support that was added in OTP R13B. The old xmerl + functionality is not changed. +

Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions + + +

+ A Kleene Closure child in a sequence consumed all + following children. This problem has been fixed.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-7211

+ + +

+ Now validating xhtml1-transitional.dtd. A certain + contentspec with a succeeding choice, that didn't match + all content, followed by other child elements caused a + failure. This is now corrected.

+ +
+ +
Xmerl 1.1.7 + +
Improvements and New Features + + +

+ + +
+ +
+ +

+

Own Id: OTP-6720

A recursive group reference in a redefine refers to the + definition in the redefined schema. See 4.2.2 in + XMLSchema part1 "Schema Representation Constraint: + Individual Component Redefinition" bullet 2.

+

Own Id: OTP-6739

Own Id: OTP-6752

+ + +
+
+ +
+ Xmerl 1.1.4 + +
+ Improvements and New Features + + +

+

Own Id: OTP-6679

+ + +
+
+ +
+ Xmerl 1.1.3 + +

+ + +

Bug in xmerl removed so that simple syntax element + content is exported correctly.

+

Own Id: OTP-6099

+ + +
+ +
+ Improvements and New Features + + +

xmerl now supports XMLSchema validation. Documentation in + reference manual for xmerl. The release of XMLSchema + validation should be considered as a beta release. The + user interface may still be adjusted in a coming + release. Opinions and evaluations are welcome.
