        MlView 0.0.1.7rc4 release notes.
        ==================================

                         03-19-2002

This a hot snapshot of the mlview development
r-0-0-1-7 branch (the current devel branch).
It has been added the following features over the the
0.0.1.5 release:

  +Element/attribute names completion based on the
validity constraints expressed by the DTD.
  +support of xml catalogs to fetch the DTD locally.
  +For the time being, the mlview distrib contains the
following DTDs: 
    -xhtml strict 1.0
    -xhtml transitional 1.0
    -docbook-xml v 4.2b1
    So, when one of these DTDs is referenced in an xml
document, mlview fetches it locally (finds it) and
loads it.

  +a lot of bug-fixes etc ...

Note that This version of mlview needs a patched
version of libxml2.4.16 .

That patched libxml2.4.16 is located at the mlview
project download area
(http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/mlview).
It is named libxml2.4.16.patched.tar.gz .
To compile it, first uninstall any version of libxml2
you may have installed on your machine.
Then untar it, cd into the directory
libxml2.4.16.patched, type 'configure', then 'make',
then
su root and type 'make install'.

The problem fixed by this patch is fixed in the cvs
tree of gnome but is not released yet.
If you are a purist, you can get the gnome cvs version
instead of the dirty patch i proposed in the paragraph
above.

To get the gnome cvs version of libxml2, type

'export
CVSROOT=:pserver:address@hidden:/cvs/gnome'

then, type

'cvs login'

(There is no password to type. Just type return)

then, type

cvs -z3 co gnome-xml

Once you get all the files, you have to compile them.
Cd into the newly created directory gnome-xml.
Type './autogen.sh'
Type 'make'

Then, su root and type
'make install'.


Then, you can install the mlview rpm or compile it
(recommanded)
and install it.

If you face any pb during the installation, (remember,
this is a development snapshot)
send me a mail.
