Release 2.4.0 Sun May 23 2021
        Security fixes:
  #34 #466 #484  CVE-2013-0340/CWE-776 -- Protect against billion laughs attacks
                    (denial-of-service; flavors targeting CPU time or RAM or both,
                    leveraging general entities or parameter entities or both)
                    by tracking and limiting the input amplification factor
                    (<amplification> := (<direct> + <indirect>) / <direct>).
                    By conservative default, amplification up to a factor of 100.0
                    is tolerated and rejection only starts after 8 MiB of output bytes
                    (=<direct> + <indirect>) have been processed.
                    The fix adds the following to the API:
                    - A new error code XML_ERROR_AMPLIFICATION_LIMIT_BREACH to
                      signals this specific condition.
                    - Two new API functions ..
                      - XML_SetBillionLaughsAttackProtectionMaximumAmplification and
                      - XML_SetBillionLaughsAttackProtectionActivationThreshold
                      .. to further tighten billion laughs protection parameters
                      when desired.  Please see file "doc/reference.html" for details.
                      If you ever need to increase the defaults for non-attack XML
                      payload, please file a bug report with libexpat.
                    - Two new XML_FEATURE_* constants ..
                      - that can be queried using the XML_GetFeatureList function, and
                      - that are shown in "xmlwf -v" output.
                    - Two new environment variable switches ..
                      - EXPAT_ACCOUNTING_DEBUG=(0|1|2|3) and
                      - EXPAT_ENTITY_DEBUG=(0|1)
                      .. for runtime debugging of accounting and entity processing.
                      Specific behavior of these values may change in the future.
                    - Two new command line arguments "-a FACTOR" and "-b BYTES"
                      for xmlwf to further tighten billion laughs protection
                      parameters when desired.
                      If you ever need to increase the defaults for non-attack XML
                      payload, please file a bug report with libexpat.

      #332 #470  For (non-default) compilation with -DEXPAT_MIN_SIZE=ON (CMake)

      #485 #486  Autotools: Fix generated CMake files for non-64bit and
