Libiqxmlrpc

A new XML parser and XML serializer based on libxml2 xmlreader/xmlwriter technology that dramatically decreases the memory usage of XML parse/dump tasks for large datasets and significantly improves XML parse/dump performance (20-30%). The libxml++ dependency has been removed. This release has switched to the BSD 2-clause license.

This realease is binary incompatible with previous ones. The firewall now sends HTTP 403 Forbidden as a default reject action. The buffer size for hostname calculations was increased. A hang in the client during connection to a server that rejects connections on a specific port was fixed. A coredump that occurred if the name of a struct member contained XML tags was fixed. The API was enhanced so that Http_server and Https_server allow binding to a specific IP address, not only a port.

The client now supports timeout on the connection process. Enhanced XML-RPC standards conformance: allows requests without the <params> tag. Minor bug and warning fixes.

Incompatibility with the Perl XML-RPC "connection" header option has been fixed.

This release increased thread-safety of some library classes, turned off XML formatting, and removed the user guide from sources in favor of the online wiki.
