Changes for version 2.55 - 2026-04-01

  • Fixes:
    • PR #221 Fix struct-return ABI mismatch in XML_ExpatVersionInfo() by parsing the version string instead of using the struct return, which was corrupted when Perl and libexpat used different struct return conventions (-fpcc-struct-return vs -freg-struct-return)
    • PR #214 GH #211 GH #212 GH #213 Revert defaulthandle char routing and standalone string changes that broke downstream CPAN modules (XML-Twig, XML-DOM, XML-XPath)
    • PR #216 GH #215 Increase deep_nesting test depth from 600 to 2048 to actually exercise the st_serial_stack reallocation code path (the GH #39 fix)
    • PR #218 Update expat download URL from SourceForge to GitHub in the "expat not found" error message
  • Improvements:
    • PR #220 GH #215 Add AddressSanitizer CI job for XS memory safety to catch heap buffer overflows and use-after-free bugs
  • Maintenance:
    • PR #219 Modernize last 4 print-ok test files (astress, namespaces, stream, skip) to Test::More with descriptive test names
    • PR #217 Remove obsolete .travis.yml (project uses GitHub Actions)
