1 NOTE: NO BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY IS GUARANTEED FOR 0.x RELEASES !!
5 - INTERFACE CHANGE: the callback functions now take an extra argument: the
6 record/element identifier (that is also used as first argument in the
7 *_subscribe_* functions). The extra argument is the first argument.
9 release 0.16 (16 August 2002):
11 - Another bugfixing release.
13 - Some compatibility with Lifelines 3.0.2 is added (not necessarily complete).
15 release 0.15 (27 March 2002):
17 - Again mainly a bugfixing release
19 - Compatibility with ftree is added, all GEDCOM files written by ftree
22 - Note for developers: you now have to call the function gedcom_init()
23 as soon as possible in your program (before any character set handling
24 is done, see documentation for details). If the function has not been
25 called, gedcom_parse_file() will return an error.
27 release 0.14 (20 January 2002):
29 - This is mainly a bugfixing release, no extra features have been added.
31 - Some example code is available on how to convert from UTF-8 to the locale
32 system, and how to check the library version via configure.in (see the
33 documentation for details).
35 release 0.13 (5 January 2002):
37 - Cross-references are now parsed and checked. For this, an extra type is
38 added to the types possible in a Gedcom_val: an xref pointer. This means
39 that GEDCOM_XREF_PTR has to be used now in some places instead of
41 A quick change is to replace
44 GEDCOM_XREF_PTR(val)->string
45 where applicable. But you can also store an object in the 'object' member
46 of the struct returned by GEDCOM_XREF_PTR (see documentation).
48 - Other interface changes in the callbacks:
49 - parsed tag value (integer) is passed next to the string value
50 - the start record callbacks now also contain a Gedcom_val (the NOTE can
53 - Further, various bugfixes have been made.
55 release 0.12 (31 December 2001):
57 - The calling of callbacks is now completed.
59 - Some initial documentation is available.
61 - The parsed value that is returned in callbacks can now be:
64 - a date (struct date_value)
65 See the documentation for more info. Parsing and checking of cross-
66 references will be added next.
