libxml2-2.15.0

[Bruce Dubbs]

New minor version.

[Bruce Dubbs]

v2.15.0: Sep 15 2025

Major changes

• The API documentation is now generated with Doxygen. Building the documentation requires the new --with-docs configuration option as well as Doxygen, xsltproc and the DocBook 4 XSLT stylesheets.

• The Python bindings are disabled by default now. Building the bindings also requires Doxygen.

• Support for Schematron is now disabled by default.

• The parser option XML_PARSE_UNZIP is now required to read compressed data.

• HTML serialization and handling of character encodings is more in line with the HTML5 spec now.

• More accessors for xmlParserCtxt were added.

Deprecations

• More internal functions and struct members were deprecated.

Removals

• The built-in HTTP client and support for LZMA compression were removed.

• The custom Windows build system in win32 was removed in favor of CMake.

Planned removals

• The Python bindings and support for Schematron validation are planned to be removed in the 2.16 release.

The following features are considered for removal:

• Modules API (xmlmodule.h)
• Support for zlib compressed file I/O

• RELAX NG support is still in a bad state and a long-term removal candidate.
