New features in version 1.0
- Some file names were shorten in the unicode module, for compatibility with
VMS systems. See the Perl script unicode/convert.pl for the exact list.
- tree_readers.ads renamed to dom-readers.ads
This way, only the XML/Ada namespace is used, without conflicts with files
that may come from the user's code.
- Builds are now based on GNAT project files
Users of GNAT 3.15 and later will now use GNAT project files to build the
library, which is easier to configure.
- More efficient parser
The API in the unicode module has been changed to avoid functions returning
unconstrained types, resulting in a much faster parser.
- Independence from GNAT
XML/Ada should now be compilable with other compilers. The GNAT-specific
packages and attributes have been replaced by equivalents.
- Better support for encodings
XML/Ada now has a better auto-detection of the encoding (for Utf16 and Utf8
documents, even when they don't have a Byte-Order-Mark).
It will also fully process the "<?xml encoding=...?>" declaration at the
beginning of the documents. The following encodings are currently supported:
UTF-8
UTF-16
ISO-8859-1 LATIN-1
ISO-8859-2 LATIN-2
ISO-8859-3
ISO-8859-4
- Memory leaks fixed
New features in version 0.6
- Parser twice as fast
The SAX parser has been completely rewritten, and is now about twice
as fast as the previous one.
- Support for validation (partial)
A partial support for validation has been added. This means that some of
the validity constraints defined in the XML specifications are now tested
(root element type, tests on attributes, ...).
However, XML/Ada still doesn't test that the XML document matches its DTD.
- New licence
This library is now distributed under the GNAT-Modified GPL.
