Upgrade apr expat???
Is there any reason for SVN to push for apr-util to upgrade it's expat
from 1.95.1 to 1.95.4 given that we use it. Several points:
1) 1.95.1 is almost 2 years old. I hate using old software :)
2) The SVN build on Windows has Neon compile and link against the
apr-util expat, so it is being used.
3) mod_dav uses it.
4) There's some good fixes in the latest release. Some of the key
changes between 1.95.1 and 1.95.4:
From .1 to .2:
- More changes to make MSVC happy with the build; add a single
workspace to support both the library and xmlwf application.
- Added a Windows installer for Windows users; includes
xmlwf.exe.
- Added compile-time constants that can be used to determine the
Expat version
- Removed a lot of GNU-specific dependencies to aide portability
among the various Unix flavors.
- Fix the UTF-8 BOM bug.
- Cleaned up warning messages for several compilers.
- Added the -Wall, -Wstrict-prototypes options for GCC.
From .2 to .3
- Added a project to the MSVC workspace to create a wchar_t
version of the library; the DLLs are named libexpatw.dll.
- Changed the name of the Windows DLLs from expat.dll to
libexpat.dll; this fixes SF bug #432456.
- Added the XML_ParserReset() API function.
- Fixed XML_SetReturnNSTriplet() to work for element names.
- Made the XML_UNICODE builds usable (thanks, Karl!).
- Allow xmlwf to read from standard input.
- Install a man page for xmlwf on Unix systems.
- 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.
From .3 to .4
- Added support for VMS, contributed by Craig Berry. See
vms/README.vms for more information.
- Added Mac OS (classic) support, with a makefile for MPW,
contributed by Thomas Wegner and Daryle Walker.
- Added Borland C++ Builder 5 / BCC 5.5 support, contributed
by Patrick McConnell (SF patch #538032).
- Fixed a variety of bugs: see SF issues 441449, 563184,
564342, 566334, 566901, 569461, 570263, 575168, 579196.
- Made skippedEntityHandler conform to SAX2 (see source comment)
- Re-implemented WFC: Entity Declared from XML 1.0 spec and
added a new error "entity declared in parameter entity":
see SF bug report 569461 and SF patch 578161
- Re-implemented section 5.1 from XML 1.0 spec:
see SF bug report 570263 and SF patch 578161
I haven't looked at all the bug reports and what they fix.
Best,
Blair

That would be great. If you can help with patches for upgrading apr-util's
expat, then fantastic. I'll shepherd those guys right into apr-util. Just be
wary that there are some local changes to apr-util's expat. Pretty much any
revision after 1.1 is a local change (since we've never re-baselined the
bundled Expat).
When the bundled Expat is bumped up to 1.95.4, then I'll apply a new tag
which we can use for future re-baselining.
Cheers,
