James libglade is using direct access to the xml parsing context
(since I didn't provide wrappers there is no blame here :-) and
that's not something I was expecting I would need to keep as-if
for the binary compatibility. Well SAX need it, so I have changed
back my structures to be 1.4 compliant, since 1.5 and 1.6 have never
been shipped from gnome.org I guess it's the best.
I have generated libxml-1.7, tested it against the CVS libglade
compiled while the libxml and libxml-devel were 1.4, and
test-libglade example.glade
worked again, so I expect the problem to be fixed.
I also checked the old gnorpm and gnumeric, but since they don't
use the SAX interface but the DOM tree they really should not break.
libxml-1.7 is a HUGE improvement over 1.4 which was flawed in
many respects, and I would really like to get an upgrade for
any new Gnome distrib.
Major updates includes:
- removed memory leaks
- DTD validation
- Remote entities fetching (if turned on)
Let me know if you have any problem with this version, it is
currently only at ftp://rpmfind.net/pub/veillard/ , I will upload it
to the Gnome FTP if I don't get alarms within 24 hours,
Daniel
