Mini-XML v4.0 adds some new features, updates the callback APIs to include data pointers, and generally cleans up and normalizes the interfaces from prior releases. While largely similar, this release is not source or binary compatible with Mini-XML v3.x - migration details are included in the documentation.

Mini-XML 3.0 is a major release that changes the license to Apache 2.0 with
exceptions for linking to GPL2-only code, hides the definition of the internal
mxml_node_t structure, removes the "mxmldoc" utility (which is now maintained
in the separate "codedoc" project), and fixes several bugs. Changes include:

• Changed the license to Apache 2.0 with exceptions (Issue #239)

  (Issue #240)
• Fixed a potential buffer overflow when writing floating point data
  (Issue #233)
• Moved mxmldoc to a new codedoc project whose focus is on generating
  code documentation (Issue #235, Issue #236, Issue #237)
• Error messages now include the line number of the error (Issue #230)
• The mxmlSetCDATA, mxmlSetElement, mxmlSetOpaque, mxmlSetOpaquef,
  mxmlSetText, and mxmlSetTextf functions caused a use-after-free bug if
  the value came from the same node (Issue #241)
• The mxmlSetOpaquef and mxmlSetTextf functions did not work (Issue #244)
• The _mxml_strdupf function did not work on Windows (Issue #245)

  to get full strings for inline text instead of separated words (Issue #190)
• No longer build documentation sets on macOS since Xcode no longer supports
  them (Issue #198)
• Updated the va_copy macro for use with BCC (Issue #211)
• The mxmlNewCDATA and mxmlSetCDATA functions incorrectly added the XML
  trailer "]]" to the string (Issue #216)
• Cross-compiling failed on install (Issue #218)
• Fixed a crash bug in the mxmlWrite functions (Issue #228)
• The mxmlWrite functions no longer write the siblings of the passed node
  (Issue #228)
• Updated the markdown and ZIP container libraries used for mxmldoc.

Enjoy!

Mini-XML 2.11 fixes a number of bugs, adds support for reproducible builds, cross-compilation, and enumeration of element attributes, and adds support for generating EPUB documentation using mxmldoc. Changes include:

• CDATA nodes now omit the trailing "]]" for convenience (Issue #170)
• Fixed a memory leak in mxmlDelete (Issue #183)
• mxmlElementSetAttrf did not work with some versions of Visual Studio
  (Issue #184)
• Added mxmlElementGetAttrByIndex and mxmlELementGetAttrCount functions
  (Issue #185)

  variable for reproducible builds (Issue #193)

• Fixed writing of custom data values (Issue #201)
• Added mxmlNewOpaquef and mxmlSetOpaquef functions to add and set formatted
  opaque string values.
• The mxmldoc utility scanned and loaded descriptive text differently, causing
  the detailed descriptions ("discussion") to be lost in generated
  documentation.
• The mxmldoc utility now supports @exclude format@ comments to exclude
  documentation based on the output format. The format string can be all to
  exclude documentation for all formats or a comma-delimited list such as
  @exclude man,html@.

• Mini-XML no longer allows malformed element names (Bug #509)
• mxmlLoad* and mxmlSAXLoad* did not properly create text nodes when MXML_TEXT_CALLBACK was specified (Bug #531)

• mxmlWrite* used a recursive algorithm which could require large amounts of stack space depending on the file (Bug #549, CVE-2016-4571)
