+[h5 1.07.2010 - version 0.9]
+
+Major release, featuring extended and improved Unicode support, miscellaneous performance improvements, bug fixes and more.
+
+* Major Unicode improvements:
+ # Introduced encoding support (automatic/manual encoding detection on load, manual encoding selection on save, conversion from/to UTF8, UTF16 LE/BE, UTF32 LE/BE)
+ # Introduced wchar_t mode (you can set PUGIXML_WCHAR_MODE define to switch pugixml internal encoding from UTF8 to wchar_t; all functions are switched to their Unicode variants)
+ # Load/save functions now support wide streams
+
+* Bug fixes:
+ # Fixed document corruption on failed parsing bug
+ # XPath string <-> number conversion improvements (increased precision, fixed crash for huge numbers)
+ # Improved DOCTYPE parsing: now parser recognizes all well-formed DOCTYPE declarations
+ # Fixed xml_attribute::as_uint() for large numbers (i.e. 2^32-1)
+
+* Specification changes:
+ # parse() API changed to load_buffer/load_buffer_inplace/load_buffer_inplace_own; load_buffer APIs do not require zero-terminated strings.
+ # Renamed as_utf16 to as_wide
+ # Changed xml_node::offset_debug return type and xml_parse_result::offset type to ptrdiff_t
+ # Nodes/attributes with empty names are now printed as :anonymous
+
+* Performance improvements:
+ # Optimized document parsing and saving
+ # Changed internal memory management: internal allocator is used for both metadata and name/value data; allocated pages are deleted if all allocations from them are deleted
+ # Optimized memory consumption: sizeof(xml_node_struct) reduced from 40 bytes to 32 bytes on x86
+ # Optimized debug mode parsing/saving by order of magnitude
+
+* Miscellaneous:
+ # All STL includes except <exception> in pugixml.hpp are replaced with forward declarations
+
+* Compatibility:
+ # parse() and as_utf16 are left for compatibility (these functions are deprecated and will be removed in version 1.0)
+ # Wildcard functions, document_order/precompute_document_order functions, format_write_bom_utf8 and parse_wnorm_attribute flags are deprecated and will be removed in version 1.0
+ # xpath_type_t enumeration was renamed to xpath_value_type; xpath_type_t is deprecated and will be removed in version 1.0
+
+[h5 8.11.2009 - version 0.5]
+
+Major bugfix release. Changes:
+
+* XPath bugfixes:
+ # Fixed translate(), lang() and concat() functions (infinite loops/crashes)
+ # Fixed compilation of queries with empty literal strings ("")
+ # Fixed axis tests: they never add empty nodes/attributes to the resulting node set now
+ # Fixed string-value evaluation for node-set (the result excluded some text descendants)
+ # Fixed self:: axis (it behaved like ancestor-or-self::)
+ # Fixed following:: and preceding:: axes (they included descendent and ancestor nodes, respectively)
+ # Minor fix for namespace-uri() function (namespace declaration scope includes the parent element of namespace declaration attribute)
+ # Some incorrect queries are no longer parsed now (i.e. foo: *)
+ # Fixed text()/etc. node test parsing bug (i.e. foo[text()] failed to compile)
+ # Fixed root step (/) - it now selects empty node set if query is evaluated on empty node
+ # Fixed string to number conversion ("123 " converted to NaN, "123 .456" converted to 123.456 - now the results are 123 and NaN, respectively)
+ # Node set copying now preserves sorted type; leads to better performance on some queries
+
+* Miscellaneous bugfixes:
+ # Fixed xml_node::offset_debug for PI nodes
+ # Added empty attribute checks to xml_node::remove_attribute
+ # Fixed node_pi and node_declaration copying
+ # Const-correctness fixes
+
+* Specification changes:
+ # xpath_node::select_nodes() and related functions now throw exception if expression return type is not node set (instead of assertion)
+ # xml_node::traverse() now sets depth to -1 for both begin() and end() callbacks (was 0 at begin() and -1 at end())
+ # In case of non-raw node printing a newline is output after PCDATA inside nodes if the PCDATA has siblings
+ # UTF8 -> wchar_t conversion now considers 5-byte UTF8-like sequences as invalid
+
+* New features:
+ # Added xpath_node_set::operator[] for index-based iteration
+ # Added xpath_query::return_type()
+ # Added getter accessors for memory-management functions
+
+[h5 17.09.2009 - version 0.42]
+
+Maintenance release. Changes:
+
+* Bug fixes:
+ # Fixed deallocation in case of custom allocation functions or if delete[] / free are incompatible
+ # XPath parser fixed for incorrect queries (i.e. incorrect XPath queries should now always fail to compile)
+ # Const-correctness fixes for find_child_by_attribute
+ # Improved compatibility (miscellaneous warning fixes, fixed cstring include dependency for GCC)
+ # Fixed iterator begin/end and print function to work correctly for empty nodes
+
+* New features:
+ # Added PUGIXML_API/PUGIXML_CLASS/PUGIXML_FUNCTION configuration macros to control class/function attributes
+ # Added xml_attribute::set_value overloads for different types
+
+[h5 8.02.2009 - version 0.41]
+
+Maintenance release. Changes:
+
+* Bug fixes:
+ # Fixed bug with node printing (occasionally some content was not written to output stream)
+
+[h5 18.01.2009 - version 0.4]
+
+Changes:
+
+* Bug fixes:
+ # Documentation fix in samples for parse() with manual lifetime control
+ # Fixed document order sorting in XPath (it caused wrong order of nodes after xpath_node_set::sort and wrong results of some XPath queries)
+
+* Node printing changes:
+ # Single quotes are no longer escaped when printing nodes
+ # Symbols in second half of ASCII table are no longer escaped when printing nodes; because of this, format_utf8 flag is deleted as it's no longer needed and format_write_bom is renamed to format_write_bom_utf8.
+ # Reworked node printing - now it works via xml_writer interface; implementations for FILE* and std::ostream are available. As a side-effect, xml_document::save_file now works without STL.
+
+* New features:
+ # Added unsigned integer support for attributes (xml_attribute::as_uint, xml_attribute::operator=)
+ # Now document declaration (<?xml ...?>) is parsed as node with type node_declaration when parse_declaration flag is specified (access to encoding/version is performed as if they were attributes, i.e. doc.child("xml").attribute("version").as_float()); corresponding flags for node printing were also added
+ # Added support for custom memory management (see set_memory_management_functions for details)
+ # Implemented node/attribute copying (see xml_node::insert\_copy_* and xml_node::append_copy for details)
+ # Added find_child_by_attribute and find_child_by_attribute_w to simplify parsing code in some cases (i.e. COLLADA files)
+ # Added file offset information querying for debugging purposes (now you're able to determine exact location of any xml_node in parsed file, see xml_node::offset_debug for details)
+ # Improved error handling for parsing - now load(), load_file() and parse() return xml_parse_result, which contains error code and last parsed offset; this does not break old interface as xml_parse_result can be implicitly casted to bool.
+
+[h5 31.10.2007 - version 0.34]
+
+Maintenance release. Changes:
+
+* Bug fixes:
+ # Fixed bug with loading from text-mode iostreams
+ # Fixed leak when transfer_ownership is true and parsing is failing
+ # Fixed bug in saving (\\r and \\n are now escaped in attribute values)
+ # Renamed free() to destroy() - some macro conflicts were reported
+
+* New features:
+ # Improved compatibility (supported Digital Mars C++, MSVC 6, CodeWarrior 8, PGI C++, Comeau, supported PS3 and XBox360)
+ # PUGIXML_NO_EXCEPTION flag for platforms without exception handling
+
+[h5 21.02.2007 - version 0.3]
+
+Refactored, reworked and improved version. Changes:
+
+* Interface:
+ # Added XPath
+ # Added tree modification functions
+ # Added no STL compilation mode
+ # Added saving document to file
+ # Refactored parsing flags
+ # Removed xml_parser class in favor of xml_document
+ # Added transfer ownership parsing mode
+ # Modified the way xml_tree_walker works
+ # Iterators are now non-constant
+
+* Implementation:

+ # Refactored and sped up parsing core
+ # Improved standard compliancy
