What's new in XMLStarlet 1.5.0

Jul 13, 2013
  • This version fixes a crash when trying to run pyx on nonexistent files and a boundary condition in the unescape command.
  • The ed and sel commands can now refer to a document's top level default namespace with "_" or "DEFAULT" and give a friendly message if the user doesn't realize they need to specify namespaces.

New in XMLStarlet 1.4.2 (Jan 3, 2013)

  • This version fixes a crash in the pyx subcommand that occurred when it handled nodes with multiple attributes.

New in XMLStarlet 1.4.1 (Dec 15, 2012)

  • A crash with invalid editing operations has been fixed.

New in XMLStarlet 1.2.1 (Jul 8, 2011)

  • A crash when libxml2 returned NULL nodeset result was fixed.

  • There was a missing newline in the ed --help message.
  • The test scripts portability was improved.

New in XMLStarlet 1.2.0 (Jun 2, 2011)

  • This version implements --update --expr for the ed command.
  • The ed and sel commands use top-level namespace definitions from first input file, which should remove the need to define namespaces on the command line with -N in most cases.
  • Select exits with 0 only if the result is non-empty.
  • The -Q option has been added to select, like grep's -q.
  • This release adds column number and restores input context (lost in version 1.0.3) to error messages.
  • It adds the --net option to c14n, ed, fo, and val.
  • It removes --catalog from the tr --help message since it isn't actually supported.
  • It adds --elif and --else to the sel --help message.

New in XMLStarlet 1.1.0 (Apr 6, 2011)

  • A bug was fixed for BSD and Mac OS X by checking that O_BINARY is declared before #including io.h.
  • Several select command improvements were made: --elif and --else options, sorting on multiple fields, correct (for English) lexical sorting, and inclusion of only needed namespaces by the output stylesheet.
  • Shared libxml and libxslt libraries are linked by default.
  • Library version information was added to --version output.
  • A directory argument for ls was added; the exit status indicates failure or success instead of file count.
  • Xmlstarlet will now link with a libxml configured --without-sax1 and --without-legacy.

New in XMLStarlet 1.0.6 (Mar 14, 2011)

  • The c14n command now outputs linefeeds only in Windows as well.
  • The --help text for ed now correctly describes the behavior of -P, -S, --pf, and --ps.
  • Some subcommands' --help options were outputting the printf format string literally.

New in XMLStarlet 1.0.5 (Feb 17, 2011)

  • A bug in which stylesheets with CDATA nodes led to memory corruption was fixed.
  • The test scripts now double "/" characters under msys to avoid path conversion; most tests now succeed in the mingw build.
  • The --help option now prints to stdout and exits with success.
  • There were some further tweaks in the tests and build system.
