  I have uploaded (and commited to CVS) a candidate libxml-2.0.0
release. I have put tar and RPMs at:

   ftp://rpmfind.net/pub/libxml/test/

  The main changes done after the first beta release are:
   - added a complete URI processing module uri.[ch] doing the
     analysis and processing described by RFC 2396
   - allowed to force libxml to use a new set of allocation routines
     use xmlMemSetup() to override the default one before calling
     libxml
   - added compile-time customization of libxml : extra features
     FTP/HTTP/HTML/XPath and debug module can be removed at configure time
     this is rather for people doing embedded stuff than general public
   - moved to an absolute adressing of includes :
     #include <libxml/xxx.h> I hope it won't break too much stuff
     and will be manageable in the future...
   - the old tester tool is now called xmllint and is installed
     by default with the libxml2 package
   - There is now a version number availble for the C preprocessor
     named LIBXML_VERSION and currently at 20000
   - the I/O module and structure have been cleaned up, the function
     xmlRegisterInputCallbacks() allows to extend or overload the
     default input mechanism compiled in

 This represent a serious number of (significant) changes, and
I would like feedback before releasing it for more public audience.

 I expect to make this version the first public libxml2 release
next week unless I need to fix stuff.

Daniel
