This patch changes the security section in the README.md file to give
more information.
This removes the "unmaintained" text, as this project is maintained
again. It also makes it clear that this is a community project, so
anyone will know what to expect, and it also makes explicit that
developers are volunteers and will work on the issues that they want, as
a try to avoid pressure from bug reporters.
The message try to be possitive, promoting collaboration instead of
conflict. The idea is to make it clear that collaboration is welcome and
the way to go is to do it yourself instead of asking the maintainers to
do it for you.
I got the following error message after trying to remove my maintainer
entry from the DOAP file:
> Must have at least one doap:maintainer property with a gnome:userid
> property
So I'm adding the previous maintainer.
Build the documentation as part of the build process with support for
all build systems. This adds a new configuration option --with-docs to
build documentation. Required tools are Doxygen, xsltproc and the
DocBook 4 XSLT stylesheets. Doxygen will also be required to build the
Python bindings.
Support for RELAX NG used to be enabled together with XML Schema support
(--with-schemas). Now there's a separate option and a new feature macro
LIBXML_RELAXNG_ENABLED.
This handles static linking properly and avoids overlinking.
Change the --with-readline default to no as it was before and raise an
error if libreadline couldn't be found.
Do the same for libhistory.
libxml2 has limited support for reading and writing compressed data
with the help of zlib and liblzma which used to be enabled by default.
This only works for files read from the file system and never worked
with memory buffers. My guess is that this feature is virtually unused.
In light of the recently discovered xz backdoor, it's a good time to
disable these features by default to reduce attack surface and prepare
for eventual removal.
If --with-legacy is passed to the Autotools build, compression will
be enabled by default as before.
