I’m stepping down as maintainer of libxml2 which means that this project is more or less unmaintained for now.
I will fix regressions in the 2.15 release until the end of 2025.

尼克·韦尔恩霍弗(Nick Wellnhofer)于2025年9月15日宣布,他将卸任广泛使用的libxml2库的维护者。在修复2.15版本的关键漏洞后,他将在年底前停止维护,导致该项目基本上无人维护。 这一消息引发了人们对长期以来他对基础互联网库的贡献的感谢。值得注意的是,当前libxslt(依赖于libxml2)的维护者伊万·查韦罗(Iván Chavero)主动请缨接管维护工作,表示需要了解最近的更改,特别是关于输入/输出缓冲区管理方面。他询问了与尼克沟通这些问题的最佳方式。 许多用户表达了对libxml2重要性的赞赏,承认它在全球无数产品中被广泛使用。

Hello, since I’ve stepped in as libxslt maintainer I’ve been studying both libxslt and libxml2 codebases. I have the time to maintain the library I just need to get familiar with the latest changes you introduced like:
I haven’t find how to manage both output and input buffers. I found functions like: xmlOutputBufferCreateIO but by the places in which I’ve found them is not clear on how to use them.
Should I send you an email with my questions or do you prefer other means of communication?
