2.6.0: Oct 20 2003:
- Major revision release: should be API and ABI compatible but got a lot
of change
- Increased the library modularity, far more options can be stripped out,
a --with-minimum configuration will weight around 160KBytes
- Use per parser and per document dictionnary, allocate names and small
text nodes from the dictionnary
- Switch to a SAX2 like parser rewrote most of the XML parser core,
provides namespace resolution and defaulted attributes, minimize memory
allocations and copies, namespace checking and specific error handling,
immutable buffers, make predefined entities static structures, etc...
- rewrote all the error handling in the library, all errors can be
intercepted at a structured level, with precise information
available.
- New simpler and more generic XML and HTML parser APIs, allowing to
easilly modify the parsing options and reuse parser context for multiple
consecutive documents.
- Similar new APIs for the xmlReader, for options and reuse, provided new
functions to access content as const strings, use them for Python
bindings
- a lot of other smaller API improvements: xmlStrPrintf (Aleksey Sanin),
Walker i.e. reader on a document tree based on Alfred Mickautsch code,
make room in nodes for line numbers, reference counting and future PSVI
extensions, generation of character ranges to be checked with faster
algorithm (William), xmlParserMaxDepth (Crutcher Dunnavant), buffer
access
for some optional internal locking), and this library needs to be usable
by nonthreaded programs too, like php4-domxml
bump PKGREVISION for this; buildlink not changed, since library users
generally don't care about this

Be a bit defensive about this and add -I${BUILDLINK_DIR}/include/libxml
to BUILDLINK_CONFIG_WRAPPER_SED, while letting -I${BUILDLINK_DIR}/include
stay, too.
XXX: This should be revisited, and the packages depending on libxml2 be fixed
(either way); for now, this change fixes libwmf, ogle, and ogle_gui (and
perhaps others), while not changing the situation for kdelibs2 (which
I didn't want to test because it's too big).
Per a discussion with Johnny Lam.
pkgsrc. Instead, a new variable PKGREVISION is invented that can get
bumped independent of DISTNAME and PKGNAME.
Example #1:
DISTNAME= foo-X.Y
PKGREVISION= Z
=> PKGNAME= foo-X.YnbZ
Example #2:
DISTNAME= barthing-X.Y
PKGNAME= bar-X.Y
PKGREVISION= Z
=> PKGNAME= bar=X.YnbZ (!)
On subsequent changes, only PKGREVISION needs to be bumped, no more risk
of getting DISTNAME changed accidentally.

pkg/13929 where xml2-config lies about the location of the libxml2
headers. "xml2-config --cflags" now returns:
-I/usr/pkg/include/libxml2/libxml -I/usr/pkg/include
which correctly finds the libxml2 headers. When using buildlink, the
config wrapper xml2-config returns:
-I${BUILDLINK_DIR}/include/libxml -I/usr/pkg/include
which correctly finds the libxml2 headers in their buildlinked locations.
set FOO_CONFIG=${BUILDLINK_CONFIG_WRAPPER.foo} in both CONFIGURE_ENV and
MAKE_ENV. We remove the check for GNU_CONFIGURE because if a package
Makefile includes the buildlink.mk file, then it most likely wants to use
the config script wrappers as well. Change suggested by Hubert Feyrer
(hubertf) and Tomasz Luchowski (zuntum).
BUILDLINK_PREFIX.<pkgname>. This allows buildlink to find X11BASE packages
regardless of whether they were installed before or after xpkgwedge was
installed. Idea by Alistair Crooks <agc@pkgsrc.org>.
