+1.4.1: Dec 8, 2012
+
+ - avoid segfault when attempting to edit the document node (Bug
+ #3575722)
+
+ - Packaging:
+ - include doc/xmlstar-fodoc-style.xsl in the dist so that the
+ --enable-build-docs option works from the tarball (Bug
+ #3580667)
+ - AC_SUBST PACKAGE_TARNAME for automake so that documentation is
+ installed to the right place (Bug #3561958)
+
+ - Test Suite:
+ - avoid test failures due to XML formatting and whitespace
+ changes (also fixes Bug #3572789)
+ - use automake's parallel test suite
+ - make bigxml tests much faster by using whitespace instead of nodes
+ - don't test str:replace() with ed: it doesn't work outside of
+ xslt in new libxslt
+ - ignore extra errors from libxml 2.9.0 bug
+ - let tests run using busybox
+ - add runAllTests.sh to run tests without make
+
+
+1.4.0: Aug 26, 2012
+
+ - Documentation:
+ - executable name used in documentation now matches
+ --transform-program-name (Bug #3283713)
+ - added Makefile rules for generating documentation
+ (./configure --enable-build-docs)
+
+ - ed subcommand:
+ - relative XPaths are now handled correctly (Bug #3527850)
+ - the last nodeset inserted by an edit operation can be
+ accessed as the XPath variable $prev (or $xstar:prev)
+ - add --var option to define XPath variables
+ - allow ed -u -x to insert nodesets instead of converting to
+ string
+ - remove hard limit for number of edit operations (Bug
+ #3488240)
+
+ - pyx now handles namespaces correctly
+
+1.3.1: Jan 14, 2012
+
+ - handle multiple values for --value-of properly (Bug #2563866)
+ - substitute external entities (Bug #3467320)
+ - pyx output needs space between attribute name and value (Bug #3440797)
+
+
+1.3.0: Oct 7, 2011
+
+ - avoid ASCII CRs in UTF-16/32 text (reported by Ming Chen)
+ - --value-of outputs concat values of all nodes (Req #2563866)
+ - encode special chars for ed -u -x
+ - allow use of exslt functions in ed -u -x
+ - add --var to select (allow --var <name>=<value> as well as --var
+ <name> <value> --break)
+ - work around libxml bug that passes bogus data to error handler
+ (Bug #3362217)
+
+
+1.2.1: July 07, 2011
+
+ - check for NULL nodeset result (Bugs #3323189, #3323196)
+ - "-" was being confused with --elif
+ - generated XSLT should also have automatic namespaces
+ - allow -N after other option (Bug #3325166)
+ - namespace values were being registered as prefixes
+ - avoid segfault when asked to move namespace nodes
+ - missing newline in ed --help message
+ - test scripts portability
+ - no bashisms allowed in NetBSD sh
+ - make BRE portable: '+' is not allowed
+ - deal with msys path conversion properly (Bug #3178657)
+ - don't use XML_SAVE_WSNONSIG #if libxml < 2.7.8 (Bug #3310475)
+
+
+1.2.0: June 1, 2011
+
+ - implement ed --update --expr
+ - use top-level namespace definitions from first input file, this
+ should remove the need to define namespaces on the command line
+ with -N in most cases.
+ - select exits with 0 only if result is non-empty (Req #3155702)
+ - add -Q to select, like grep's -q
+ - add column number to error messages
+ - restore input context (lost in version 1.0.3) to error messages
+ (Bug #3305659)
+ - print extra string information in error messages
+ - use entity definitions from dtd (Bug #3305659)
+ - add --net option to c14n, ed, fo, and val (Req #1071398)
+ - remove --catalog from tr --help message since it isn't actually supported
+ - add --elif and --else to sel --help message
+
+
+1.1.0: Apr 3, 2011
+
+ - bug fix for BSD/OSX: check that O_BINARY is declared before
+ #including io.h (Bug 3211822)
+ - select improvements
+ - add --elif and --else options
+ - sorting on multiple fields
+ - correct (for English) lexical sorting instead of ASCIIbetical
+ - only outputs namespaces that are actually used
+ - only outputs xsl:param inputFile if it's used
+ - don't make separate templates if there is only 1
+ - link to shared libxml and libxslt libraries by default
+ - add library version info to --version output
+ - add directory argument for ls; exit status indicates
+ failure/success instead of file count
+ - stop using old SAX1 interface, xmlstarlet will now link with a
+ libxml configured --without-sax1 and --without-legacy
+
+
+1.0.6: Mar 13 2011:
+
+ - Bug fixes:
+ - c14n: set stdout to binary mode on Windows to avoid carriage
+ returns (Bug 840665)
+ - fix broken --help options
+ - put actual behaviour of -P, -S options in --help output (see
+ Bug/Feature Request 2858514)
+ - remove unneeded escape of quote in ./configure --help
+ - don't distribute xmlstarlet.spec: it's generated by ./configure
+ - add src/xml.o depends on version.h to Makefile.am so compile
+ will succeed without dependency info (eg after make distclean)
+ - add test for subcommands' --help option
+ - Portability fixes:
+ - yes isn't portable, use an awk program instead
+ - neither read -r nor xargs -0 are portable, escape the command
+ lines to xargs instead
+ - don't use nonportable echo -n option
+
+
+1.0.5: Feb 11 2011:
+
+ - Bug fixes:
+ - use XSLT_PARSE_OPTIONS, else CDATA nodes can cause corruption (Bug 3158482)
+ - fix typo in help message
+ - get rid of warnings in -ansi -pedantic mode
+ - required libxml2 version is 2.6.23
+ - usage strings use argv[0] as program name
+ - --help prints to stdout and exits with success
+ - double /'s under msys to avoid path conversion
+ - Portability fixes:
+ - don't use xargs (-d isn't portable)
+ - use -Wall only for gcc
+ -Build system:
+ - use -ansi in configure, and check for strdup declaration
+ - seperate list of sources and tests into subdirs
+ - check git version during make, not just autoconf
+ - tarball releases of configure.ac have actual version number
+ instead of querying git
+
+
+1.0.4: Jan 16 2011:
+
+ - Bug fixes:
+ - encode special XML characters in arguments (can now include quotes in xpath)
+ - non-zero exit code when input file is not found (Bug 3158488)
+ - ed with --pf/--ps options doesn't reformat output (Bug 3158490)
+ - exit() instead of segfault when trying to delete namespace nodes
+ (Bug 1120417)
+ - added --disable-static-libs ./configure option to use shared libxml2 and libxslt
+ - non-recursive make
+ - use TESTS and XFAIL_TESTS for testing, nicer output
+
