4.5.0:
Features added
* A new function ``indent()`` was added to insert tail whitespace for pretty-printing
an XML tree.
Bugs fixed
* Tail text of nodes that get removed from a document using item
deletion disappeared silently instead of sticking with the node that was removed.
Other changes
* MacOS builds are 64-bit-only by default.
Set CFLAGS and LDFLAGS explicitly to override it.
* Linux/MacOS Binary wheels now use libxml2 2.9.10 and libxslt 1.1.34.
* The package version number is now available as ``lxml.__version__``.
pkglint -r --network --only "migrate"
As a side-effect of migrating the homepages, pkglint also fixed a few
indentations in unrelated lines. These and the new homepages have been
checked manually.
4.4.1:
Bugs fixed
* The order of an OrderedDict was lost in 4.4.0 when passing it as
attrib mapping during element creation.
* The package metadata now lists the supported Python versions.
4.4.0:
Features added
--------------
* Element.clear() accepts a new keyword argument keep_tail=True to
clear everything but the tail text. This is helpful in some document-style
use cases.
* When creating attributes or namespaces from a dict in Python 3.6+, lxml now
preserves the original insertion order of that dict, instead of always sorting
the items by name. A similar change was made for ElementTree in CPython 3.8.
See https://bugs.python.org/issue34160
* Integer elements in lxml.objectify implement the __index__() special method.
* Read-only elements in XSLT were missing the nsmap property.
Original patch by Jan Pazdziora.
* ElementInclude can now restrict the maximum inclusion depth via a max_depth
argument to prevent content explosion. It is limited to 6 by default.
* The target object of the XMLParser can have start_ns() and end_ns()
callback methods to listen to namespace declarations.
* The TreeBuilder has new arguments comment_factory and pi_factory to
pass factories for creating comments and processing instructions, as well as
flag arguments insert_comments and insert_pis to discard them from the
tree when set to false.
* A C14N 2.0 <https://www.w3.org/TR/xml-c14n2/>_ implementation was added as
etree.canonicalize(), a corresponding C14NWriterTarget class, and
a c14n2 serialisation method.
Bugs fixed
----------
* When writing to file paths that contain the URL escape character '%', the file
path could wrongly be mangled by URL unescaping and thus write to a different
file or directory. Code that writes to file paths that are provided by untrusted
sources, but that must work with previous versions of lxml, should best either
reject paths that contain '%' characters, or otherwise make sure that the path
does not contain maliciously injected '%XX' URL hex escapes for paths like '../'.
* Assigning to Element child slices with negative step could insert the slice at
the wrong position, starting too far on the left.
* Assigning to Element child slices with overly large step size could take very
long, regardless of the length of the actual slice.
* Assigning to Element child slices of the wrong size could sometimes fail to
raise a ValueError (like a list assignment would) and instead assign outside
of the original slice bounds or leave parts of it unreplaced.
* The comment and pi events in iterwalk() were never triggered, and
instead, comments and processing instructions in the tree were reported as
start elements. Also, when walking an ElementTree (as opposed to its root
element), comments and PIs outside of the root element are now reported.
* The RelaxNG compact syntax support was broken with recent versions
of rnc2rng.
* The HTML elements source and track were added to the list
of empty tags in lxml.html.defs.
* Registering a prefix other than "xml" for the XML namespace is now rejected.
* Failing to write XSLT output to a file could raise a misleading exception.
It now raises IOError.
Other changes
-------------
* Support for Python 3.4 was removed.
* When using Element.find*() with prefix-namespace mappings, the empty string
is now accepted to define a default namespace, in addition to the previously
supported None prefix. Empty strings are more convenient since they keep
all prefix keys in a namespace dict strings, which simplifies sorting etc.
* The ElementTree.write_c14n() method has been deprecated in favour of the
long preferred ElementTree.write(f, method="c14n"). It will be removed
in a future release.
Features added
* The module lxml.sax is compiled using Cython in order to speed it up.
* lxml.sax.ElementTreeProducer now preserves the namespace prefixes. If two prefixes point to the same URI, the first prefix in alphabetical order is used. Patch by Lennart Regebro.
* Updated ISO-Schematron implementation to 2013 version (now MIT licensed) and the corresponding schema to the 2016 version (with optional “properties”).
Other changes
* Support for Python 2.6 and 3.3 was removed. Patch by hugovk.
* The minimum dependency versions were raised to libxml2 2.9.2 and libxslt 1.1.27, which were released in 2014 and 2012 respectively.
* Built with Cython 0.29.2.
4.2.4:
Features added
* Allow using pkg-config for build configuration.
Bugs fixed
* Crash when moving an element to another document with
Element.insert().
4.2.2:
Bugs fixed
* GH266: Fix sporadic crash during GC when parse-time schema validation is used
and the parser participates in a reference cycle.
* GH265: lxml no longer links against zlib as a shared library, only on static builds.
4.2.1:
Bugs fixed
* iterwalk() failed to return the ‘start’ event for the initial element if a tag selector is used.
* Failure to import 4.2.0 into PyPy due to a missing library symbol.
* Add “-isysroot” linker option on MacOS as needed by XCode 9.
4.2.0:
Features added
* SelectElement.value returns more standard-compliant and browser-like defaults for non-multi-selects. If no option is selected, the value of the first option is returned (instead of None). If multiple options are selected, the value of the last one is returned (instead of that of the first one). If no options are present (not standard-compliant) SelectElement.value still returns None.
* The HTMLParser() now supports the huge_tree option. Patch by stranac.
Bugs fixed
* Some XSLT messages were not captured by the transform error log.
* Crash at shutdown after an interrupted iterparse run with XMLSchema validation.
4.1.0:
Features added
* ElementPath supports text predicates for current node, like “[.=’text’]”.
* ElementPath allows spaces in predicates.
* Custom Element classes and XPath functions can now be registered with a decorator rather than explicit dict assignments.
* Static Linux wheels are now built with link time optimisation (LTO) enabled. This should have a beneficial impact on the overall performance by providing a tighter compiler integration between lxml and libxml2/libxslt.
Bugs fixed
* Requesting non-Element objects like comments from a document with PythonElementClassLookup could fail with a TypeError.
4.0.0:
Features added
--------------
* The ElementPath implementation is now compiled using Cython,
which speeds up the ``.find*()`` methods quite significantly.
* The modules ``lxml.builder``, ``lxml.html.diff`` and ``lxml.html.clean``
are also compiled using Cython in order to speed them up.
* ``xmlfile()`` supports async coroutines using ``async with`` and ``await``.
* ``iterwalk()`` has a new method ``skip_subtree()`` that prevents walking into
the descendants of the current element.
* ``RelaxNG.from_rnc_string()`` accepts a ``base_url`` argument to
allow relative resource lookups.
* The XSLT result object has a new method ``.write_output(file)`` that serialises
output data into a file according to the ``<xsl:output>`` configuration.
Bugs fixed
----------
* GH-251: HTML comments were handled incorrectly by the soupparser.
Patch by mozbugbox.
* LP-1654544: The html5parser no longer passes the ``useChardet`` option
if the input is a Unicode string, unless explicitly requested. When parsing
files, the default is to enable it when a URL or file path is passed (because
the file is then opened in binary mode), and to disable it when reading from
a file(-like) object.
Note: This is a backwards incompatible change of the default configuration.
If your code parses byte strings/streams and depends on character detection,
please pass the option ``guess_charset=True`` explicitly, which already worked
in older lxml versions.
* LP-1703810: ``etree.fromstring()`` failed to parse UTF-32 data with BOM.
* LP-1526522: Some RelaxNG errors were not reported in the error log.
* LP-1567526: Empty and plain text input raised a TypeError in soupparser.
* LP-1710429: Uninitialised variable usage in HTML diff.
* LP-1415643: The closing tags context manager in ``xmlfile()`` could continue
to output end tags even after writing failed with an exception.
* LP-1465357: ``xmlfile.write()`` now accepts and ignores None as input argument.
* Compilation under Py3.7-pre failed due to a modified function signature.
Other changes
-------------
* The main module source files were renamed from ``lxml.*.pyx`` to plain
``*.pyx`` (e.g. ``etree.pyx``) to simplify their handling in the build
process. Care was taken to keep the old header files as fallbacks for
code that compiles against the public C-API of lxml, but it might still
be worth validating that third-party code does not notice this change.
Features added
--------------
* ``ElementTree.write()`` has a new option ``doctype`` that writes out a
doctype string before the serialisation, in the same way as ``tostring()``.
* GH-220: ``xmlfile`` allows switching output methods at an element level.
Patch by Burak Arslan.
* LP-1595781, GH-240: added a PyCapsule Python API and C-level API for
passing externally generated libxml2 documents into lxml.
* GH-244: error log entries have a new property ``path`` with an XPath
expression (if known, None otherwise) that points to the tree element
responsible for the error. Patch by Bob Kline.
* The namespace prefix mapping that can be used in ElementPath now injects
a default namespace when passing a None prefix.
Bugs fixed
----------
* GH-238: Character escapes were not hex-encoded in the ``xmlfile`` serialiser.
Patch by matejcik.
* GH-229: fix for externally created XML documents. Patch by Theodore Dubois.
* LP-1665241, GH-228: Form data handling in lxml.html no longer strips the
option values specified in form attributes but only the text values.
Patch by Ashish Kulkarni.
* LP-1551797: revert previous fix for XSLT error logging as it breaks
multi-threaded XSLT processing.
* LP-1673355, GH-233: ``fromstring()`` html5parser failed to parse byte strings.
Other changes
-------------
* The previously undocumented ``docstring`` option in ``ElementTree.write()``
produces a deprecation warning and will eventually be removed.
==============
lxml changelog
==============
3.7.2 (2017-01-08)
==================
Bugs fixed
----------
* Work around installation problems in recent Python 2.7 versions
due to FTP download failures.
* GH#219: ``xmlfile.element()`` was not properly quoting attribute values.
Patch by Burak Arslan.
* GH#218: ``xmlfile.element()`` was not properly escaping text content of
script/style tags. Patch by Burak Arslan.
3.7.0 (2016-12-10)
==================
Features added
--------------
* GH#217: ``XMLSyntaxError`` now behaves more like its ``SyntaxError``
baseclass. Patch by Philipp A.
* GH#216: ``HTMLParser()`` now supports the same ``collect_ids`` parameter
as ``XMLParser()``. Patch by Burak Arslan.
* GH#210: Allow specifying a serialisation method in ``xmlfile.write()``.
Patch by Burak Arslan.
* GH#203: New option ``default_doctype`` in ``HTMLParser`` that allows
disabling the automatic doctype creation. Patch by Shadab Zafar.
* GH#201: Calling the method ``.set('attrname')`` without value argument
(or ``None``) on HTML elements creates an attribute without value that
serialises like ``<div attrname></div>``. Patch by Daniel Holth.
* GH#197: Ignore form input fields in ``form_values()`` when they are
marked as ``disabled`` in HTML. Patch by Kristian Klemon.
Bugs fixed
----------
* GH#206: File name and line number were missing from XSLT error messages.
Patch by Marcus Brinkmann.
Other changes
-------------
* Log entries no longer allow anything but plain string objects as message text
and file name.
* ``zlib`` is included in the list of statically built libraries.
3.6.1 (2016-07-24)
==================
Features added
--------------
* GH#180: Separate option ``inline_style`` for Cleaner that only removes ``style``
attributes instead of all styles. Patch by Christian Pedersen.
* GH#196: Windows build support for Python 3.5. Contribution by Maximilian Hils.
Bugs fixed
----------
* GH#199: Exclude ``file`` fields from ``FormElement.form_values`` (as browsers do).
Patch by Tomas Divis.
* GH#198, LP#1568167: Try to provide base URL from ``Resolver.resolve_string()``.
Patch by Michael van Tellingen.
* GH#191: More accurate float serialisation in ``objectify.FloatElement``.
Patch by Holger Joukl.
* LP#1551797: Repair XSLT error logging. Patch by Marcus Brinkmann.
3.6.0 (2016-03-17)
==================
* GH#189: Static builds honour FTP proxy configurations when downloading
the external libs. Patch by Youhei Sakurai.
* GH#187: Now supports (only) version 5.x and later of PyPy.
Patch by Armin Rigo.
* GH#186: Soupparser failed to process entities in Python 3.x.
Patch by Duncan Morris.
* GH#185: Rare encoding related `TypeError` on import was fixed.
Patch by Petr Demin.
* GH#181: Direct support for `.rnc` files in `RelaxNG()` if `rnc2rng`
is installed. Patch by Dirkjan Ochtman.
3.5.0 (2015-11-13)
==================
Bugs fixed
----------
* Unicode string results failed XPath queries in PyPy.
* LP#1497051: HTML target parser failed to terminate on exceptions
and continued parsing instead.
* Deprecated API usage in doctestcompare.
3.5.0b1 (2015-09-18)
====================
Features added
--------------
* ``cleanup_namespaces()`` accepts a new argument ``keep_ns_prefixes``
that does not remove definitions of the provided prefix-namespace
mapping from the tree.
* ``cleanup_namespaces()`` accepts a new argument ``top_nsmap`` that
moves definitions of the provided prefix-namespace mapping to the
top of the tree.
* LP#1490451: ``Element`` objects gained a ``cssselect()`` method as
known from ``lxml.html``. Patch by Simon Sapin.
* API functions and methods behave and look more like Python functions,
which allows introspection on them etc. One side effect to be aware of
is that the functions now bind as methods when assigned to a class
variable. A quick fix is to wrap them in ``staticmethod()`` (as for
normal Python functions).
* ISO-Schematron support gained an option ``error_finder`` that allows
passing a filter function for picking validation errors from reports.
* LP#1243600: Elements in ``lxml.html`` gained a ``classes`` property
that provides a set-like interface to the ``class`` attribute.
Original patch by masklinn.
* LP#1341964: The soupparser now handles DOCTYPE declarations, comments
and processing instructions outside of the root element.
Patch by Olli Pottonen.
* LP#1421512: The ``docinfo`` of a tree was made editable to allow
setting and removing the public ID and system ID of the DOCTYPE.
Patch by Olli Pottonen.
* LP#1442427: More work-arounds for quirks and bugs in pypy and pypy3.
* ``lxml.html.soupparser`` now uses BeautifulSoup version 4 instead
of version 3 if available.
Bugs fixed
----------
* Memory errors that occur during tree adaptations (e.g. moving subtrees
to foreign documents) could leave the tree in a crash prone state.
* Calling ``process_children()`` in an XSLT extension element without
an ``output_parent`` argument failed with a ``TypeError``.
Fix by Jens Tröger.
* GH#162: Image data in HTML ``data`` URLs is considered safe and
no longer removed by ``lxml.html.clean`` JavaScript cleaner.
* GH#166: Static build could link libraries in wrong order.
* GH#172: Rely a bit more on libxml2 for encoding detection rather than
rolling our own in some cases. Patch by Olli Pottonen.
* GH#159: Validity checks for names and string content were tightened
to detect the use of illegal characters early. Patch by Olli Pottonen.
* LP#1421921: Comments/PIs before the DOCTYPE declaration were not
serialised. Patch by Olli Pottonen.
* LP#659367: Some HTML DOCTYPE declarations were not serialised.
Patch by Olli Pottonen.
* LP#1238503: lxml.doctestcompare is now consistent with stdlib's doctest
in how it uses ``+`` and ``-`` to refer to unexpected and missing output.
* Empty prefixes are explicitly rejected when a namespace mapping is used
with ElementPath to avoid hiding bugs in user code.
* Several problems with PyPy were fixed by switching to Cython 0.23.
Problems found locating distfiles:
Package cabocha: missing distfile cabocha-0.68.tar.bz2
Package convertlit: missing distfile clit18src.zip
Package php-enchant: missing distfile php-enchant/enchant-1.1.0.tgz
Otherwise, existing SHA1 digests verified and found to be the same on
the machine holding the existing distfiles (morden). All existing
SHA1 digests retained for now as an audit trail.
3.4.4 (2015-04-25)
==================
Bugs fixed
----------
* An ElementTree compatibility test added in lxml 3.4.3 that failed in
Python 3.4+ was removed again.
3.4.3 (2015-04-15)
==================
Bugs fixed
----------
* Expression cache in ElementPath was ignored. Fix by Changaco.
* LP#1426868: Passing a default namespace and a prefixed namespace mapping
as nsmap into ``xmlfile.element()`` raised a ``TypeError``.
* LP#1421927: DOCTYPE system URLs were incorrectly quoted when containing
double quotes. Patch by Olli Pottonen.
* LP#1419354: meta-redirect URLs were incorrectly processed by
``iterlinks()`` if preceded by whitespace.
3.4.2 (2015-02-07)
==================
Bugs fixed
----------
* LP#1415907: Crash when creating an XMLSchema from a non-root element
of an XML document.
* LP#1369362: HTML cleaning failed when hitting processing instructions
with pseudo-attributes.
* ``CDATA()`` wrapped content was rejected for tail text.
* CDATA sections were not serialised as tail text of the top-level element.
3.4.1 (2014-11-20)
==================
Features added
--------------
* New ``htmlfile`` HTML generator to accompany the incremental ``xmlfile``
serialisation API. Patch by Burak Arslan.
Bugs fixed
----------
* ``lxml.sax.ElementTreeContentHandler`` did not initialise its superclass.
3.4.0 (2014-09-10)
==================
Features added
--------------
* ``xmlfile(buffered=False)`` disables output buffering and flushes the
content after each API operation (starting/ending element blocks or writes).
A new method ``xf.flush()`` can alternatively be used to explicitly flush
the output.
* ``lxml.html.document_fromstring`` has a new option ``ensure_head_body=True``
which will add an empty head and/or body element to the result document if
missing.
* ``lxml.html.iterlinks`` now returns links inside meta refresh tags.
* New ``XMLParser`` option ``collect_ids=False`` to disable ID hash table
creation. This can substantially speed up parsing of documents with many
different IDs that are not used.
* The parser uses per-document hash tables for XML IDs. This reduces the
load of the global parser dict and speeds up parsing for documents with
many different IDs.
* ``ElementTree.getelementpath(element)`` returns a structural ElementPath
expression for the given element, which can be used for lookups later.
* ``xmlfile()`` accepts a new argument ``close=True`` to close file(-like)
objects after writing to them. Before, ``xmlfile()`` only closed the file
if it had opened it internally.
* Allow "bytearray" type for ASCII text input.
Bugs fixed
----------
Other changes
-------------
* LP#400588: decoding errors have become hard errors even in recovery mode.
Previously, they could lead to an internal tree representation in a mixed
encoding state, which lead to very late errors or even silently incorrect
behaviour during tree traversal or serialisation.
* Requires Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.2 or later. No longer supports
Python 2.4, 2.5 and 3.1, use lxml 3.3.x for those.
* Requires libxml2 2.7.0 or later and libxslt 1.1.23 or later,
use lxml 3.3.x with older versions.
3.3.6 (2014-08-28)
==================
Bugs fixed
----------
* Prevent tree cycle creation when adding Elements as siblings.
* LP#1361948: crash when deallocating Element siblings without parent.
* LP#1354652: crash when traversing internally loaded documents in XSLT
extension functions.
3.3.5 (2014-04-18)
==================
Bugs fixed
----------
* HTML cleaning could fail to strip javascript links that mix control
characters into the link scheme.
3.3.4 (2014-04-03)
==================
Features added
--------------
* Source line numbers above 65535 are available on Elements when
using libxml2 2.9 or later.
Bugs fixed
----------
* ``lxml.html.fragment_fromstring()`` failed for bytes input in Py3.
3.3.3 (2014-03-04)
==================
Bugs fixed
----------
* Crash when using Element subtypes with ``__slots__``.
Other changes
-------------
* The internal classes ``_LogEntry`` and ``_Attrib`` can no longer be
subclassed from Python code.
3.3.2 (2014-02-26)
==================
Bugs fixed
----------
* The properties ``resolvers`` and ``version``, as well as the methods
``set_element_class_lookup()`` and ``makeelement()``, were lost from
``iterparse`` objects in 3.3.0.
* LP#1222132: instances of ``XMLSchema``, ``Schematron`` and ``RelaxNG``
did not clear their local ``error_log`` before running a validation.
* LP#1238500: lxml.doctestcompare mixed up "expected" and "actual" in
attribute values.
* Some file I/O tests were failing in MS-Windows due to non-portable temp
file usage. Initial patch by Gabi Davar.
* LP#910014: duplicate IDs in a document were not reported by DTD validation.
* LP#1185332: ``tostring(method="html")`` did not use HTML serialisation
semantics for trailing tail text. Initial patch by Sylvain Viollon.
* LP#1281139: ``.attrib`` value of Comments lost its mutation methods
in 3.3.0. Even though it is empty and immutable, it should still
provide the same interface as that returned for Elements.
3.3.1 (2014-02-12)
==================
Features added
--------------
Bugs fixed
----------
* LP#1014290: HTML documents parsed with ``parser.feed()`` failed to find
elements during tag iteration.
* LP#1273709: Building in PyPy failed due to missing support for
``PyUnicode_Compare()`` and ``PyByteArray_*()`` in PyPy's C-API.
* LP#1274413: Compilation in MSVC failed due to missing "stdint.h" standard
header file.
* LP#1274118: iterparse() failed to parse BOM prefixed files.
3.3.0 (2014-01-26)
==================
Bugs fixed
----------
* The heuristic that distinguishes file paths from URLs was tightened
to produce less false negatives.
3.3.0beta5 (2014-01-18)
=======================
Features added
--------------
* The PEP 393 unicode parsing support gained a fallback for wchar strings
which might still be somewhat common on Windows systems.
Bugs fixed
----------
* Several error handling problems were fixed throughout the code base that
could previously lead to exceptions being silently swallowed or not
properly reported.
* The C-API function ``appendChild()`` is now deprecated as it does not
propagate exceptions (its return type is ``void``). The new function
``appendChildToElement()`` was added as a safe replacement.
* Passing a string into ``fromstringlist()`` raises an exception instead of
parsing the string character by character.
Other changes
-------------
* Document cleanup code was simplified using the new GC features in
Cython 0.20.
3.3.0beta4 (2014-01-12)
=======================
Bugs fixed
----------
* The (empty) value returned by the ``attrib`` property of Entity and Comment
objects was mutable.
* Element class lookup wasn't available for the new pull parsers or when using
a custom parser target.
* Setting Element attributes on instantiation with both the ``attrib`` argument
and keyword arguments could modify the mapping passed as ``attrib``.
* LP#1266171: DTDs instantiated from internal/external subsets (i.e. through
the docinfo property) lost their attribute declarations.
Other changes
-------------
* Built with Cython 0.20pre (gitrev 012ae82eb) to prepare support for
Python 3.4.
3.3.0beta3 (2014-01-02)
=======================
Features added
--------------
* Unicode string parsing was optimised for Python 3.3 (PEP 393).
Bugs fixed
----------
* HTML parsing of Unicode strings could misdecode the input on some platforms.
* Crash in xmlfile() when closing open elements out of order in an error case.
3.3.0beta2 (2013-12-20)
=======================
Features added
--------------
* ``iterparse()`` supports the ``recover`` option.
Bugs fixed
----------
* Crash in ``iterparse()`` for HTML parsing.
* Crash in target parsing with attributes.
Other changes
-------------
* The safety check in the read-only tree implementation (e.g. used by
``PythonElementClassLookup``) raises a more appropriate ``ReferenceError``
for illegal access after tree disposal instead of an ``AssertionError``.
This should only impact test code that specifically checks the original
behaviour.
3.3.0beta1 (2013-12-12)
=======================
Features added
--------------
* New option ``handle_failures`` in ``make_links_absolute()`` and
``resolve_base_href()`` (lxml.html) that enables ignoring or
discarding links that fail to parse as URLs.
* New parser classes ``XMLPullParser`` and ``HTMLPullParser`` for
incremental parsing, as implemented for ElementTree in Python 3.4.
* ``iterparse()`` enables recovery mode by default for HTML parsing
(``html=True``).
Bugs fixed
----------
* LP#1255132: crash when trying to run validation over non-Element (e.g.
comment or PI).
* Error messages in the log and in exception messages that originated
from libxml2 could accidentally be picked up from preceding warnings
instead of the actual error.
* The ``ElementMaker`` in lxml.objectify did not accept a dict as
argument for adding attributes to the element it's building. This
works as in lxml.builder now.
* LP#1228881: ``repr(XSLTAccessControl)`` failed in Python 3.
* Raise ``ValueError`` when trying to append an Element to itself or
to one of its own descendants, instead of running into an infinite
loop.
* LP#1206077: htmldiff discarded whitespace from the output.
* Compressed plain-text serialisation to file-like objects was broken.
* lxml.html.formfill: Fix textarea form filling.
The textarea used to be cleared before the new content was set,
which removed the name attribute.
Other changes
-------------
* Some basic API classes use freelists internally for faster
instantiation. This can speed up some ``iterparse()`` scenarios,
for example.
* ``iterparse()`` was rewritten to use the new ``*PullParser``
classes internally instead of being a parser itself.
3.2.5 (2014-01-02)
==================
Bugs fixed
----------
* Crash in xmlfile() when closing open elements out of order in an error case.
* Crash in target parsing with attributes.
* LP#1255132: crash when trying to run validation over non-Element (e.g.
comment or PI).
