 2.6.0: Oct 20 2003:

    - Switch to a SAX2 like parser rewrote most of the XML parser core,
     provides namespace resolution and defaulted attributes, minimize memory
     allocations and copies, namespace checking and specific error handling,
     immutable buffers, make predefined entities static structures, etc...
    - rewrote all the error handling in the library, all errors can be
     intercepted at a structured level, with precise information
   available.
    - New simpler and more generic XML and HTML parser APIs, allowing to
     easilly modify the parsing options and reuse parser context for multiple
     consecutive documents.
