In mid-September, we reported that Nick Wellnhofer, the long-time maintainer of the widely used XML parsing library libxml2, planned to step down from the project. A few days ago, that change became official.
When looking at one of the latest commits in the project’s GitLab repository, you can now see the following notice:
“This project is unmaintained and has known security issues (https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libxml2/-/issues/346). It is foolish to use this software to process untrusted data.”
Where were you when libxml2 die?
I was at house eating dorito when Lemmy ring.
“libxml2 is kil”
“no”
I actually used it the other day to grab a value from an xml file.
xml files have a value?
Landfill.
