Sourced from fast-xml-parser's releases.

update strnum, FXB. Use xml-naming for DOCTYPE

  • integrate xml-naming to validate DOCTYPE entity name and notation name (using qname because of backward compatibility)
    • This will consider xml-version as well. '1.0' is default
  • update strnum to 2.3.0
    • You can set octal and binary parsing which is by deault off
  • update fast-xml-builder to 1.2.0
    • can sanitize tag names if found invalid
    • fix format output

fix minor old bugs and update builder

  • fix: alwaysCreateTextNode should create text node when attributes are present for self closing node
  • fix stop node expression when ns prefix is removed (found by iruizsalinas)
  • update XML Builder to 1.1.7
  • mark addEntity deprecated

backward compatibility for numerical external entity, fix #705, #817

  • allow numerical external entity for backward compatibility
  • fix #705: attributesGroupName working with preserveOrder
  • fix #817: stackoverflow when tag expression is very long

upgrade @​nodable/entities and FXB

  • Use @nodable/entities v2.1.0

      • single entity scan. You're not allowed to use entity value to form another entity name.
      • you cant add numeric external entity
      • entity error message when expantion limit is crossed might change
    • typings are updated for new options related to process entity
    • please follow documentation of @nodable/entities for more detail.
    • performance
      • if processEntities is false, then there should not be impact on performance.
      • if processEntities is true, but you dont pass entity decoder separately then performance may degrade by approx 8-10%
      • if processEntities is true, and you pass entity decoder separately
        • if no entity then performance should be same as before
        • if there are entities then performance should be increased from past versions
    • ignoreAttributes is not required to be set to set xml version for NCR entity value
  • update 'fast-xml-builder' to sanitize malicious CDATA and comment's content

use @​nodable/entities to replace entities

  • No API change

  • No typing change
  • No config change
  • new dependency
  • breaking: error messages for entities might have been changed.

Changelog

Sourced from fast-xml-parser's changelog.

Note: If you find missing information about particular minor version, that version must have been changed without any functional change in this library.

Note: Due to some last quick changes on v4, detail of v4.5.3 & v4.5.4 are not updated here. v4.5.4x is the last tag of v4 in github repository. I'm extremely sorry for the confusion

A newer version of fast-xml-parser exists, but since this PR has been edited by someone other than Dependabot I haven't updated it. You'll get a PR for the updated version as normal once this PR is merged.
