XeuMeuLeu is an open-source cross-platform C++ stream oriented interface on top of Apache Xerces for manipulating XML and Apache Xalan for applying XSL transformations.

This release includes mainly refactoring and bug fixes.

The changes are :
. added support for document type definition (DTD)
. a non existing internal schema definition is ignored instead of producing an error unless xml::internal_grammar is used
. fixed a crash when creating an xml::xibufferstream from an empty xml::xobufferstream
. optimized streams creation and cloning
. reduced input streams memory footprint
. the optional state of a stream is now correctly transmitted to the sub streams or buffer streams created from it
. an xml::end after an xml::optional now resets the optional state instead of throwing an exception
. direct reading helpers have been replaced by methods on an xml::xistream... read more

XeuMeuLeu is an open-source cross-platform C++ stream oriented interface on top of Apache Xerces for manipulating XML and Apache Xalan for applying XSL transformations.

This release follows a major refactoring of the code structure and organization, first step toward supporting several XML parsers (and parser versions as with Apache Xerces 2.x and 3.x).

The changes are :
. all libraries are now headers only
. added a XEUMEULEU_NO_DEPRECATED define to be declared if deprecated features should not be included
. an xml::xostringstream is now serialized when calling str()
. an xml::xofstream is now written to file when calling flush(), upon destruction or when the tree is complete
. xeuseuleu/xsl.h and xeumeuleu/xml.h are deprecated, use xeuseuleu/xsl.hpp and xeumeuleu/xml.hpp instead
. fixed a bug which prevented to (un)serialize a user type inheriting from another type itself (un)serializable
. enhanced xml::list and xml::attributes to accept a reference on an instance of a sub-type of the type with the method to call... read more

XeuMeuLeu is an open-source cross-platform C++ stream oriented interface on top of Apache Xerces for manipulating XML and Apache Xalan for applying XSL transformations.

This release is mainly a maintenance and bug fixes release.

The changes are :
. xml::list and xml::attributes functors can be passed as references to be able to handle an internal state
. added support for long double
. xml::end and xml::optional can be used without parenthesis
. fixed the error context not being transmitted from an xml::xistream to an xml::xobufferstream
. added missing constructor with encoding for xml::xistreamstream
. added has_child, has_attribute and has_content accessors on xml::xistream
. removed const in return value of xostringstream::str() to allow constructions such as s.switch( xos.str() )... read more

This release is mainly a maintenance and bug fixes release.

The changes are :
. fixed a crash when cascading several xml::ximultistream wrappers
. added an exception when trying to move up from the root of an xml::xisubstream created on an optional non-existing branch
