+[[v1.7]]
+=== v1.7 ^17.10.2015^
+
+Major release, featuring performance and memory improvements along with some new features. Changes:
+
+* Compact mode:
+ . Introduced a new tree storage mode that takes significantly less memory (2-5x smaller DOM) at some performance cost.
+ . The mode can be enabled using `PUGIXML_COMPACT` define.
+
+* New integer parsing/formatting implementation:
+ . Functions that convert from and to integers (e.g. `as_int`/`set_value`) do not rely on CRT any more.
+ . New implementation is 3-5x faster and is always correct wrt overflow or underflow. This is a behavior change - where previously `as_uint()` would return UINT_MAX on a value "-1", it now returns 0.
+
+* New features:
+ . XPath objects (`xpath_query`, `xpath_node_set`, `xpath_variable_set`) are now movable if your compiler supports C++11. Additionally, `xpath_variable_set` is copyable.
+ . Added `format_indent_attributes` that makes the resulting XML friendlier to line diff/merge tools.
+ . Added a variant of `xml_node::attribute` function with a hint that can improve lookup performance.
+ . Custom allocation functions are now allowed (but not required) to throw instead of returning a null pointer.
+
+* Bug fixes:
+ . Fix Clang 3.7 crashes in out-of-memory cases (C++ DR 1748)
+ . Fix XPath crashes on SPARC64 (and other 32-bit architectures where doubles have to be aligned to 8 bytes)
+ . Fix xpath_node_set assignment to provide strong exception guarantee
+ . Fix saving for custom xml_writer implementations that can throw from write()
