Release by Christopher J. Madsen
There are only some minor documentation changes since 4.903.
This is a summary of the most significant changes since 4.2.
[THINGS THAT MAY BREAK YOUR CODE OR TESTS]
* Use weak references to avoid memory leaks
See "Weak References" in HTML::Element for details.
* new_from_file now dies if the file cannot be opened. $! records
the specific problem. (Previously, you got a tree with a few
implicit elements.)
* Some methods normally returning a scalar could return the empty
list in certain circumstances. This has been corrected. The
affected methods are: address, deobjectify_text, detach, is_inside,
& pindex.
* deprecate the Version sub/method. Use the VERSION method instead.
[ENHANCEMENTS]
* add new_from_url (Using LWP) (David Pottage) (RT #68097)
[DOCUMENTATION]
* Explain that parse_file (and new_from_file) opens files in binary mode
BUT THIS IS PLANNED TO CHANGE.

3.23 Sun Nov 12 11:09:31 CST 2006
[THINGS THAT MAY BREAK YOUR CODE OR TESTS]
* Mark-Jason Dominus points out that the fix for as_html was not
proper, and broken behavior should never be codified. Fixed
as_html so an empty string doesn't encode entites, instead of
blaming the behavior on HTML::Entities. (RT 18571)
3.22 Sat Nov 11 21:23:22 CST 2006
[THINGS THAT MAY BREAK YOUR CODE OR TESTS]
* HTML::Element::as_XML now only escapes five characters, instead
of escaping everything but alphanumerics and spaces. This is
more in line with the XML spec, and will no longer escape wide
characters as two (or more) entities. Resolves RT 14260. Thanks
to Carl Franks and somewhere [at] confuzzled.lu for assistance.
[FIXES]
* A string comparison was commented to use lc() on both sides, but
didn't. This caused HTML::Element::look_down to not properly find
elements in certain cases. Thanks to Andrew Suhachov. (RT 21114)
[TESTS]
* Added several new tests and enhanced others. Thanks to Rocco
Caputo for t/attributes.t, and several others for providing
test cases in their RT bugs.
[DOCUMENTATION]
* Fixed description of HTML::Element::all_attr_names. Thanks
to dsteinbrunner [at] pobox.com for catching it.

tag-rendering.t, noted in RT 20816 and 19796. Thanks to
Gordon Lack and Ricardo Signes

using patch supplied in RT 17481. Thanks to Chris Madsen.
[DOCUMENTATION]
* HTML-Tree has a new maintainer: Pete Krawczyk
Pkgsrc changes:

to true instead of false.
[THINGS THAT MAY BREAK YOUR CODE]
* The store_declarations() method has been removed.
* Non-closing HTML tags like <IMG> are now rendered as <IMG />.

values weren't quoted.
2003-09-15 Sean M. Burke <sburke@cpan.org>
Release 3.18 -- bugfix to test, adding qr// to look_(down|up)
Accepting Iain 'Spoon' Truskett's neat patch for qr// as lookdown
operators (previously you had to do sub { $_[0]=~ m/.../}).
Rewrote some tests, notably parsefile.t, which was pointlessly
failing because of an incompatibility with an HTML::Parser version.
Removed the disused ancient utils "dtd2pm" and "ent" from the dist.
2003-01-18 Sean M. Burke <sburke@cpan.org>
Release 3.17 -- minor bugfix
HTML::Element : Making as_HTML('',...) work just like
as_HTML(undef,...). Also fixing as_XML's docs to remove mention of
an unimplemented feature (specifying what characters to escape).
2002-11-06 Sean M. Burke <sburke@cpan.org>
Release 3.16 -- just fixing a doc typo.
2002-11-06 Sean M. Burke <sburke@cpan.org>
Release 3.15 -- a few new features.
Added the aliases "descendents" and "find" to HTML::Element.
Added a new method "simplify_pres" to HTML::Element.
2002-10-19 Sean M. Burke <sburke@cpan.org>
Release 3.14 -- minor bugfix
Just fixes a few problems in HTML::Element with the number_lists
method.
2002-08-16 Sean M. Burke <sburke@cpan.org>
Release 3.13 -- basically a bugfix version
It turns out that 3.12 had a hideous HTML::TreeBuilder bug that
made the whole thing damn near useless. Fixed.
Many many thanks to Michael Koehne for catching this!
Wrote t/parse.t, to catch this sort of thing from happening again.
Fixed a bug that would treat <td> outside any table context
as <tr><table><td> instead of <table><tr><td>
2002-07-30 Sean M. Burke <sburke@cpan.org>
Release 3.12
Added as_trimmed_text method to HTML::Element, as described
(prophesied?) in the fantabulous new book /Perl & LWP/.
Bugfix: fixed unshift_content when given a LoL. (_parent wasn't
getting set right.)
HTML::Element and HTML::TreeBuilder now enforce at least some
minimal sanity on what can be in a tag name. (Notably, no spaces,
slashes, or control characters.)
Semi-bugfix: $element->replace_with(...) can now take LoLs in its
replacement list.
Bumped HTML::Element version up to 3.12 (right from 3.09)
Semi-bugfix: as_XML now doesn't use named entities in its return
value -- it always uses numeric entities.
Added behavior: new_frow_lol can now do clever things in list
context.
HTML::Tree -- added blurb for /Perl & LWP/
HTML::TreeBuilder -- added blurb for /Perl & LWP/
Also added a few tweaks to do better with XHTML parsing.
Added guts() and disembowel() methods, for parsing document fragments.
