Released html2xhtml 1.1.2-2

April 7 2010 by Jesús Arias Fisteus

A new version of html2xhtml (1.1.2-2) has been released. It has some minor changes and a bug fix. The bug only affected the program when compiled with glibc up to version 2.0.6, which was the case of the Windows binary version distributed in this site. When the XHTML output reached 32 KB, the converter finished signaling a buffer overflow error. Just for curious people, the cause was a change in the semantics of the return value of the function vsnprintf in versions of glibc up to 2.0.6.

Library for calling html2xhtml in the .NET 4.0 framework

March 25 2010 by Jesús Arias Fisteus

A developer in Germany that is using html2xhtml for a project he is currently involved in has just released a .NET 4.0 library that binds to html2xhtml. It makes it easier to integrate html2xhtml in a C# program. The library is called Html2Xhtml, is also free software and is available at its website at sourceforge. I'd like to express my gratitude to him for sharing the library with us.
