    <s2 title="Migrating from &XercesCName; 3.0.0 to &XercesCName; &XercesC3Version;">
      <p>The following section is a discussion of the technical differences between
      &XercesCName; 3.0.0 and &XercesCName; &XercesC3Version;.</p>

      <p>Topics discussed are:</p>
      <ul>
        <li><link anchor="NewFeatures300">New features in &XercesCName; &XercesC3Version;</link></li>
        <li><link anchor="API300">Public API Changes</link></li>
      </ul>

    <anchor name="NewFeatures300"/>
    <s3 title="New features in &XercesCName; &XercesC3Version;">
      <ul>
    <li>Working multi-import support. The support for handling multiple import
        declarations with the same target namespaces has been improved and
        thoroughly tested. Furthermore, the same logic was extended to
        loadGrammar and the schemaLocation attributes so that you can load
        several schemas with the same namespace and/or "add" more declarations
        with the schemaLocation attributes. To enable this feature, set the
        XMLUni::fgXercesHandleMultipleImports feature/parameter to true.
        Starting with this release all the tests and examples have multi-import
        support enabled by default.</li>

    <li>New property, XMLUni::fgXercesLowWaterMark, allows to configure the
        parser buffer low water mark. In particular, setting this value to 0
        disables data caching in the parser which can be useful if you want
        the SAX events to be dispatched as soon as the data is available.</li>

    <li>DOMLSParser::parseWithContext implementation. In particular, this
        functionality allows one to parse a document fragment with missing
        namespace declarations as long as the context document provides them.</li>

    <li>Improved performance and reduced memory footprint when validating with
        large maxOccurs values. If available, the SSE2 instructions are used to
        further speedup this case.</li>

    <li>Improved scalability of the XML Schema identity checking (key, keyref,
        and unique).</li>

    <li>Multiple XML Schema conformance fixes.</li>

    <li>More robust external library detection (libcurl and ICU). In particular,
        the build system no longer tries to inject any additional paths such as
        /usr or /usr/local.</li>

    <li>Compilation of the ICU message loader resources no longer depends on
        the ICU implementation details.</li>
      </ul>
    </s3>

    <anchor name="API300"/>
    <s3 title="Public API Changes">

        <p>&XercesCName; &XercesC3Version; is a minor release and does
           not include any public API changes that would preclude
           applications using the previous version of &XercesCName; from
           building successfully with this version.</p>
