Changelog for python-lxml-docs-2.3.3-1.fc17.noarch.rpm :
Thu Jan 5 13:00:00 2012 Jeffrey C. Ollie - 2.3.3-1
- 2.3.3 (2012-01-04)
- Features added
-
-
* lxml.html.tostring() gained new serialisation options with_tail and
- doctype.
-
- Bugs fixed
-
-
* Fixed a crash when using iterparse() for HTML parsing and requesting
- start events.
-
* Fixed parsing of more selectors in cssselect. Whitespace before pseudo-
- elements and pseudo-classes is significant as it is a descendant
- combinator. \"E :pseudo\" should parse the same as \"E
*:pseudo\", not
- \"E:pseudo\". Patch by Simon Sapin.
-
* lxml.html.diff no longer raises an exception when hitting \'img\' tags
- without \'src\' attribute.

Mon Nov 14 13:00:00 2011 Jeffrey C. Ollie - 2.3.2-1
- 2.3.2 (2011-11-11)
- Features added
-
-
* lxml.objectify.deannotate() has a new boolean option
- cleanup_namespaces to remove the objectify namespace declarations
- (and generally clean up the namespace declarations) after removing
- the type annotations.
-
* lxml.objectify gained its own SubElement() function as a copy of
- etree.SubElement to avoid an otherwise redundant import of
- lxml.etree on the user side.
-
- Bugs fixed
-
-
* Fixed the \"descendant\" bug in cssselect a second time (after a first
- fix in lxml 2.3.1). The previous change resulted in a serious
- performance regression for the XPath based evaluation of the
- translated expression. Note that this breaks the usage of some
- of the generated XPath expressions as XSLT location paths that
- previously worked in 2.3.1.
-
* Fixed parsing of some selectors in cssselect. Whitespace after
- combinators \">\", \"+\" and \"~\" is now correctly ignored. Previously
- it was parsed as a descendant combinator. For example, \"div> .foo\"
- was parsed the same as \"div>
* .foo\" instead of \"div>.foo\". Patch by
- Simon Sapin.

Sun Sep 25 14:00:00 2011 Jeffrey C. Ollie - 2.3.1-1
- Features added
- --------------
-
-
* New option kill_tags in lxml.html.clean to remove specific
- tags and their content (i.e. their whole subtree).
-
-
* pi.get() and pi.attrib on processing instructions to parse
- pseudo-attributes from the text content of processing instructions.
-
-
* lxml.get_include() returns a list of include paths that can be
- used to compile external C code against lxml.etree. This is
- specifically required for statically linked lxml builds when code
- needs to compile against the exact same header file versions as lxml
- itself.
-
-
* Resolver.resolve_file() takes an additional option
- close_file that configures if the file(-like) object will be
- closed after reading or not. By default, the file will be closed,
- as the user is not expected to keep a reference to it.
-
- Bugs fixed
- ----------
-
-
* HTML cleaning didn\'t remove \'data:\' links.
-
-
* The html5lib parser integration now uses the \'official\'
- implementation in html5lib itself, which makes it work with newer
- releases of the library.
-
-
* In lxml.sax, endElementNS() could incorrectly reject a plain
- tag name when the corresponding start event inferred the same plain
- tag name to be in the default namespace.
-
-
* When an open file-like object is passed into parse() or
- iterparse(), the parser will no longer close it after use. This
- reverts a change in lxml 2.3 where all files would be closed. It is
- the users responsibility to properly close the file(-like) object,
- also in error cases.
-
-
* Assertion error in lxml.html.cleaner when discarding top-level elements.
-
-
* In lxml.cssselect, use the xpath \'A//B\' (short for
- \'A/descendant-or-self::node()/B\') instead of \'A/descendant::B\' for the
- css descendant selector (\'A B\'). This makes a few edge cases to be
- consistent with the selector behavior in WebKit and Firefox, and makes
- more css expressions valid location paths (for use in xsl:template
- match).
-
-
* In lxml.html, non-selected tags no longer show up in the
- collected form values.
-
-
* Adding/removing values to/from a multiple select form
- field properly selects them and unselects them.
-
- Other changes
- --------------
-
-
* Static builds can specify the download directory with the
- --download-dir option.

Tue Apr 19 14:00:00 2011 Jeffrey C. Ollie - 2.3-1
- 2.3 (2011-02-06)
- ================
-
- Features added
- --------------
-
-
* When looking for children, ``lxml.objectify`` takes \'{}tag\' as
- meaning an empty namespace, as opposed to the parent namespace.
-
- Bugs fixed
- ----------
-
-
* When finished reading from a file-like object, the parser
- immediately calls its ``.close()`` method.
-
-
* When finished parsing, ``iterparse()`` immediately closes the input
- file.
-
-
* Work-around for libxml2 bug that can leave the HTML parser in a
- non-functional state after parsing a severly broken document (fixed
- in libxml2 2.7.8).
-
-
* ``marque`` tag in HTML cleanup code is correctly named ``marquee``.
-
- Other changes
- --------------
-
-
* Some public functions in the Cython-level C-API have more explicit
- return types.
-
- 2.3beta1 (2010-09-06)
- =====================
-
- Features added
- --------------
-
- Bugs fixed
- ----------
-
-
* Crash in newer libxml2 versions when moving elements between
- documents that had attributes on replaced XInclude nodes.
-
-
* ``XMLID()`` function was missing the optional ``parser`` and
- ``base_url`` parameters.
-
-
* Searching for wildcard tags in ``iterparse()`` was broken in Py3.
-
-
* ``lxml.html.open_in_browser()`` didn\'t work in Python 3 due to the
- use of os.tempnam. It now takes an optional \'encoding\' parameter.
-
- Other changes
- --------------
-
- 2.3alpha2 (2010-07-24)
- ======================
-
- Features added
- --------------
-
- Bugs fixed
- ----------
-
-
* Crash in XSLT when generating text-only result documents with a
- stylesheet created in a different thread.
-
- Other changes
- --------------
-
-
* ``repr()`` of Element objects shows the hex ID with leading 0x
- (following ElementTree 1.3).
-
- 2.3alpha1 (2010-06-19)
- ======================
-
- Features added
- --------------
-
-
* Keyword argument ``namespaces`` in ``lxml.cssselect.CSSSelector()``
- to pass a prefix-to-namespace mapping for the selector.
-
-
* New function ``lxml.etree.register_namespace(prefix, uri)`` that
- globally registers a namespace prefix for a namespace that newly
- created Elements in that namespace will use automatically. Follows
- ElementTree 1.3.
-
-
* Support \'unicode\' string name as encoding parameter in
- ``tostring()``, following ElementTree 1.3.
-
-
* Support \'c14n\' serialisation method in ``ElementTree.write()`` and
- ``tostring()``, following ElementTree 1.3.
-
-
* The ElementPath expression syntax (``el.find
*()``) was extended to
- match the upcoming ElementTree 1.3 that will ship in the standard
- library of Python 3.2/2.7. This includes extended support for
- predicates as well as namespace prefixes (as known from XPath).
-
-
* During regular XPath evaluation, various ESXLT functions are
- available within their namespace when using libxslt 1.1.26 or later.
-
-
* Support passing a readily configured logger instance into
- ``PyErrorLog``, instead of a logger name.
-
-
* On serialisation, the new ``doctype`` parameter can be used to
- override the DOCTYPE (internal subset) of the document.
-
-
* New parameter ``output_parent`` to ``XSLTExtension.apply_templates()``
- to append the resulting content directly to an output element.
-
-
* ``XSLTExtension.process_children()`` to process the content of the
- XSLT extension element itself.
-
-
* ISO-Schematron support based on the de-facto Schematron reference
- \'skeleton implementation\'.
-
-
* XSLT objects now take XPath object as ``__call__`` stylesheet
- parameters.
-
-
* Enable path caching in ElementPath (``el.find
*()``) to avoid parsing
- overhead.
-
-
* Setting the value of a namespaced attribute always uses a prefixed
- namespace instead of the default namespace even if both declare the
- same namespace URI. This avoids serialisation problems when an
- attribute from a default namespace is set on an element from a
- different namespace.
-
-
* XSLT extension elements: support for XSLT context nodes other than
- elements: document root, comments, processing instructions.
-
-
* Support for strings (in addition to Elements) in node-sets returned
- by extension functions.
-
-
* Forms that lack an ``action`` attribute default to the base URL of
- the document on submit.
-
-
* XPath attribute result strings have an ``attrname`` property.
-
-
* Namespace URIs get validated against RFC 3986 at the API level
- (required by the XML namespace specification).
-
-
* Target parsers show their target object in the ``.target`` property
- (compatible with ElementTree).
-
- Bugs fixed
- ----------
-
-
* API is hardened against invalid proxy instances to prevent crashes
- due to incorrectly instantiated Element instances.
-
-
* Prevent crash when instantiating ``CommentBase`` and friends.
-
-
* Export ElementTree compatible XML parser class as
- ``XMLTreeBuilder``, as it is called in ET 1.2.
-
-
* ObjectifiedDataElements in lxml.objectify were not hashable. They
- now use the hash value of the underlying Python value (string,
- number, etc.) to which they compare equal.
-
-
* Parsing broken fragments in lxml.html could fail if the fragment
- contained an orphaned closing \'
