Version increment (2.6.15)

The monthly realease but a bit rushed due to a security alert:

​http://xmlsoft.org/news.html ​ftp://xmlsoft.org/ and GNOME FTP mirrors

I had scheduled to make a new release at the end of the week but this Bugtraq issue landed in my mailbox yesterday:

​http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/379383/2004-10-24/2004-10-30/0

Otherwise the code received a lot of testing and bug fixing, it's mostly cleanups, and especially with the security problem everybody is advised to update. Please report any problem found in the update, it's likely a new version will be pushed within one or two weeks if we get troubles:

• security fixes on the nanoftp and nanohttp modules
• build fixes:
  • xmllint detection bug in configure
  • building outside the source tree (Thomas Fitzsimmons)
• bug fixes:
  • HTML parser on broken ASCII chars in names (William)
  • Python paths (Malcolm Tredinnick)
  • xmlHasNsProp and default namespace (William)
  • saving to python file objects (Malcolm Tredinnick)
  • DTD lookup fix (Malcolm)
  • save back <group> in catalogs (William)
  • tree build fixes (DV and Rob Richards)
  • Schemas memory bug
  • structured error handler on Python 64bits
  • thread local memory deallocation
  • memory leak reported by Volker Roth
  • xmlValidateDtd in the presence of an internal subset
  • entities and _private problem (William)
  • xmlBuildRelativeURI error (William).
• improvements:
  • better XInclude error reports (William)
  • tree debugging module and tests
  • convenience functions at the Reader API (Graham Bennett)
  • add support for PI in the HTML parser.

thanks for everybody who helped with this release by submitting bugs,

code or otherwise,

Daniel

Loads of bug fixes and memory leaks fixed in this one - oh and the segfault I reported is fixed too :-)
