<li> Fixed <code>enum XML_Status</code> issue (reported on
SourceForge many times), so compilers that are properly
picky will be happy. </li>
<li> Introduced an <code>XMLCALL</code> macro to control the
calling convention used by the Expat API; this macro should
be used to annotate prototypes and definitions of callback
implementations in code compiled with a calling convention
other than the default convention for the host
platform. </li>
<li> Improved ability to build without the
<b>configure</b>-generated <span

useful for applications which embed Expat rather than
linking in the library. </li>
<li> Fixed a variety of bugs: see SF issues 458907, 609603,
