Expat 1.95.3 is being withdrawn due to <a href=
"http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&amp;aid=566334&amp;group_id=10127&amp;atid=110127"
>bug #566334</a>. If you are currently using Expat 1.95.3, please

<dt><em>3 June 2002</em>,
Expat 1.95.3 released.
</dt>
<dd>
<ul>
<li> Changed the name of the Windows DLLs from expat.dll to
libexpat.dll; this fixes SF bug #432456. This is a problem
only known to affect the Perl XML::Parser::Expat extension,
but is very important for that extension.</li>
<li> Added a project to the MSVC workspace to create a wchar_t
version of the library; the DLLs are named libexpatw.dll.
(Note the addition of the "w" character in the file name.)
</li>
<li> Added the XML_ParserReset() API function. This allows a
parser to be re-used, reducing the number of memory
allocations needed to set up a parser. This can be a
substantial benefit when parsing a large number of small
documents. </li>
<li> Fixed XML_SetReturnNSTriplet() to work for element names.
This is now a usable feature. </li>
<li> Made the XML_UNICODE builds usable (thanks, Karl!). </li>
<li> Allow xmlwf to read from standard input. </li>
<li> Install a man page for xmlwf on Unix systems. </li>
<li> Fixed many bugs; see SF bug reports 231864, 461380, 464837,
466885, 469226, 477667, 484419, 487840, 494749, 496505,
547350. Other bugs which we can't test as easily may also
have been fixed, especially in the area of build support. </li>
