The Docbook parser module has been removed completely. Support for XPointer locations (ranges and points) is disabled by default, and will eventually be removed completely. Given that the maintainer comments on the latter: "Be warned that this part of the code base is buggy and had many security issues in the past", it seems to be prudent to no longer build with XPointer locations support right away. To be able to build against libxml2 2.10.0, we remove the export definitions for Windows.

If there are no objections, I'll merge this by the end of the week. |

To clarify, this does not affect any of the bundled extensions, but might affect external extensions.
