Version 2.1.0

  * New delegation-based parser/serializer implementation reuse style in
    addition to virtual inheritance-based. The new style results in a much
    smaller object code size. The new reuse style is used by default and is
    incompatible with the old style. Applications that require backwards
    compatibility should use the --reuse-style-mixin option. The reuse
    support code now can be completely omitted with the --reuse-style-none
    option. A number of examples were converted to support both the new
    and old reuse styles while others were converted to support the new
    style only. For more information on the new reuse style see Section
    5.6 in the Embedded C++/Parser Getting Started Guide and Section 6.6
    in the Embedded C++/Serializer Getting Started Guide.

  * New option, --file-per-type, triggers generation of a separate set
    of C++ files for each type defined in XML Schema. This compilation
    mode is primarily useful when some of your schemas cannot be compiled
    separately or have cyclic dependencies which involve inheritance.
    Other new options that are useful in this compilation mode are
    --type-file-regex, --type-file-regex-trace, and --file-list. See the
    compiler command line manual (man pages) for more information.

  * New option, --options-file, allows additional command line options
    to be provided in files, with one option per line.

  * New option, --reserved-name, allows inserting additional names with
    optional replacements to the list of names that should not be used
    as identifiers. See the compiler command line manual (man pages)
    for details.

  * New options, --location-map, --location-regex, and
    --location-regex-trace, allow re-mapping of schema locations
    specified in the include and import elements without modifying the
    schema files. See the compiler command line manual (man pages) for
    more information.

  * New option, --guard-prefix, allows specifying a prefix that will be
    added to generated header inclusion guards.

  * New option, --file-list, triggers creation of a file with a list of
    generated C++ files. This option is primarily useful in the file-per-
    type compilation mode (--file-per-type) to create a list of generated
    C++ files, for example, as a makefile fragment. Other new options
    that are useful with --file-list are --file-list-prologue,
    --file-list-epilogue, and --file-list-delim. See the compiler command
    line manual (man pages) for more information.

  * In type map files the optional argument type now defaults to the
    return type if the return type ends with * or & (that is, it is
    a pointer or a reference) and 'const return type&' otherwise.

  * Type map files can now include comments. A comment starts with #
    and ends with a new line or end of file. To specify a name that
    contains # enclose it in "".

 C++/Parser

  * New option, --generate-polymorphic, triggers generation of polymorphism-
    aware code. This option should be used on XML vocabularies which use
    xsi:type and/or substitution groups. For more information see Section
    5.7, "Support for Polymorphism" in the Embedded C++/Parser Mapping
    Getting Started Guide we well as the polymorphism and polyroot
    examples in the examples/cxx/parser/ directory.

  * New options, --generate-xml-schema and --extern-xml-schema, trigger
    generation of the mapping for the XML Schema namespace to a separate
    header file and inclusion of that header into other generated header
    files instead of generating the necessary declarations inline,
    respectively. See the the compiler command line manual (man pages)
    for details.

  * Support for parser reuse after an error. For more information refer
    to Section 7.4, "Reusing Parsers after an Error" in the Embedded 
    C++/Parser Mapping Getting Started Guide. To suppress generation
    of the reset code use the --suppress-reset option.

  * New, context-based internal parsing architecture which provides
    better performance, especially for deeply-nested documents. This
    change should not affect user code except for wildcard parsing.
    See the wildcard example for the required changes.

  * The generated sample test driver file name was changed from
    <schema>-driver.cxx to <schema>-pdriver.cxx.

 C++/Serializer

  * The mapping now supports automatic generation of sample serializer
    implementations and a test driver. The --generate-empty-impl option
    triggers generation of a sample implementation with empty function
    bodies which can then be filled with application code. The
    --generate-test-driver option trigger generation of a test driver.
    For more information on this feature see the compiler command line
    manual (man pages). Other relevant new options include:
    --impl-file-suffix, --force-overwrite, --root-element-first,
    --root-element-last, and --root-element.

  * New option, --generate-polymorphic, triggers generation of polymorphism-
    aware code. This option should be used on XML vocabularies which use
    xsi:type and/or substitution groups. For more information see Section
    6.7, "Support for Polymorphism" in the Embedded C++/Serializer Mapping
    Getting Started Guide we well as the polymorphism and polyroot
    examples in the examples/cxx/serializer/ directory.

  * New options, --generate-xml-schema and --extern-xml-schema, trigger
    generation of the mapping for the XML Schema namespace to a separate
    header file and inclusion of that header into other generated header
    files instead of generating the necessary declarations inline,
    respectively. See the the compiler command line manual (man pages)
    for details.

  * Support for serializer reuse after an error. For more information
    refer to Section 8.4, "Reusing Serializers after an Error" in the
    Embedded C++/Serializer Mapping Getting Started Guide. To suppress
    generation of the reset code use the --suppress-reset option.

Version 2.0.0

  * The new Embedded C++/Serializer mapping supports event-driven,
    stream oriented XML serialization with XML Schema validation
    and C++ data binding. The new Embedded C++/Serializer Mapping
    Getting Started Guide as well as the set of examples provide
    an introduction to the mapping.

 C++/Parser

  * The argument order in the generated parsers() functions has
    changed from elements then attributes to attributes then
    elements.

  * A number of types in the xml_schema namespaces have been
    renamed in order to make the C++/Parser and C++/Serializer
    mappings usable in the same translation unit. The old and
    new names are listed below:

    document         document_pimpl
    exception        parser_exception
    xml              parser_xml
    schema           parser_schema
    error            parser_error
    xml_error        parser_xml_error
    schema_error     parser_schema_error
    simple_content   parser_simple_content
    complex_content  parser_complex_content
    list_base        parser_list_base

  * The error accessor function has been renamed from error()
    to _error(). The application error modifier function has
    been renamed from error(int) to _app_error(int).

  * For each subsequent element with the same name in the same
    complex type, the mapping now produces a separate set of
    callbacks and accessors. Note that in this case the
    generated code will be able to perform correct dispatching
    only with XML Schema validation enabled. When validation is
    disabled all events will be delivered to the callback
    corresponding to the first element with this name.

Version 1.1.0

  * The runtime library now provides parser implementations for all
    built-in XML Schema types. See Chapter 6, "Built-In XML Schema
    Type Parsers" in the Embedded C++/Parser Mapping Getting Started
    Guide for more information.

  * The mapping now supports automatic generation of sample parser
    implementations and a test driver. The --generate-noop-impl option
    triggers generation of a sample implementation with empty function
    bodies. The --generate-print-impl option triggers generation of a
    sample implementation that prints the data stored in XML to STDOUT.
    The --generate-test-driver option trigger generation of a test driver.
    For more information on this feature see the compiler command line
    manual (man pages) and the generated example in the examples/cxx/parser/
    directory. Other relevant new options include: --force-overwrite,
    --root-element-first, --root-element-last, and --root-element.

  * New example, examples/cxx/parser/wildcard, shows how to parse the
    XML data matched by XML Schema wildcards (any and anyAttribute).

  * The xml_schema::document parser has been extended with overridable
    virtual functions start_root_element and end_root_element to support
    parsing of XML vocabularies with multiple document roots. See the
    multiroot example in the examples/cxx/parser/ directory for more
    information.

  * Declaration for built-in parser implementations and the document
    parser are now automatically included into generated header files.
    As a result, you do not need to explicitly include the
    xml-schema-impl.hxx or document.hxx header files.

  * The default parser skeleton type and file suffixes have changed
    from _skel to _pskel and from -skel to -pskel, respectively. The
    --type-suffix and --file-suffix options were renamed to
    --skel-type-suffix and --skel-file-suffix, respectively.

Version 1.0.0

  * First public release.
