changes since 3.31:
Release 3.34
Fix segfault that happened when the parse callback caused
the stack to get reallocated. The original bug report was
<http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=217616>
Release 3.33
Perl 5.005 or better is now required. For some reason we get
a test failure with perl-5.004 and I don't really feel like
debugging that perl any more. Details about this failure can
be found at <http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=4065>.
New HTML::TokeParser method called 'get_phrase'. It returns
all current text while ignoring any phrase-level markup.
The HTML::TokeParser method 'get_text' now expands skipped
non-phrase-level tags as a single space.
Release 3.32
If the document parsed ended with some kind of unterminated markup,
then the parser state was not reset properly and this piece of markup
would show up in the beginning of the next document parsed.
<http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=3954>
The get_text and get_trimmed_text methods of HTML::TokeParser can
now take multiple end tags as argument. Patch by <siegmann@tinbergen.nl>
at <http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=3166>.
Various documentation tweaks.
Included another example program: hdump
Better compatibility with Mozilla/MSIE behaviour.

Release 3.31
The -DDEBUGGING fix in 3.30 was not really there :-(
2003-08-17 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
Release 3.30
The previous release failed to compile on a -DDEBUGGING perl
like the one provided by Redhat 9.
Got rid of references to perl-5.7.
Further fixes to avoid warnings from Visual C.
Patch by Steve Hay <steve.hay@uk.radan.com>.

Release 3.29
Setting xml_mode now implies strict_names also for end tags.
Avoid warning from Visual C. Patch by <gsar@activestate.com>.
64-bit fix from Doug Larrick <doug@ties.org>
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=195500
Try to parse similar to Mozilla/MSIE in certain edge cases.
All these are outside of the official definition of HTML but
HTML spam often tries to take advantage of these.
- New configuration attribute 'strict_end'. Unless enabled
we will allow end tags to contain extra words or stuff
that look like attributes before the '>'. This means that
tags like these:
</foo foo="<ignored>">
</foo ignored>
</foo ">" ignored>
are now all parsed as a 'foo' end tag instead of text.
Even if the extra stuff looks like attributes they will not
be reported if requested via the 'attr' or 'tokens' argspecs
for the 'end' handler.
- Parse '</:comment>' and '</ comment>' as comments unless
strict_comment is enabled. Previous versions of the parser
would report these as text. If these comments contain
quoted words prefixed by space or '=' these words can
contain '>' without terminating the comment.
- Parse '<! "<>" foo>' as comment containing ' "<>" foo'.
Previous versions of the parser would terminate the comment
at the first '>' and report the rest as text.
- Legacy comment mode: Parse with comments terminated with a
lone '>' if no '-->' is found before eof.
- Incomplete tag at eof is reported as a 'comment' instead
of 'text' unless strict_comment is enabled.

Release 3.28
When 'strict_comment' is off (which it is by default)
treat anything that matches <!...> a comment.
Should now be more efficient on threaded perls.
Avoid core dump in some cases where the callback croaks.
The perl_call_method and perl_call_sv needs G_EVAL flag
to be safe.
New parser attributes; 'attr_encoded' and 'case_sensitive'.

HTML::Entities
- don't encode \r by default as suggested by Sean M. Burke.
HTML::HeadParser
- ignore empty http-equiv
- allow multiple <link> elements. Patch by
Timur I. Bakeyev <timur@gnu.org>
Avoid warnings from bleadperl on the uentities test.
The automatic truncation in gensolpkg doesn't work for packages which
have the same package name for the first 5-6 chars.
e.g. amanda-server and amanda-client would be named amanda and amanda.
Now, we add a SVR4_PKGNAME and use amacl for amanda-client and amase for
amanda-server.
All svr4 packages also have a vendor tag, so we have to reserve some chars
for this tag, which is normaly 3 or 4 chars. Thats why we can only use 6
or 5 chars for SVR4_PKGNAME. I used 5 for all the packages, to give the
vendor tag enough room.
All p5-* packages and a few other packages have now a SVR4_PKGNAME.

Release 3.25
Minor tweaks for build failures on perl5.004_04, perl-5.6.0,
and for macro clash under Windows.
Improved parsing of <plaintext>... :-)
Changes:
If a handler triggered by flushing text at eof called the
eof method then infinite recursion occurred. Fixed.
Bug discovered by Jonathan Stowe <gellyfish@gellyfish.com>.
Allow <!doctype ...> to be parsed as declaration.
HTML::TokeParser's get_tag() method now takes multiple
tags to match. Hopefully the documentation is also a bit clearer.
#define PERL_NO_GET_CONTEXT: Should speed up things for thread
enabled versions of perl.
Quote some more entities that also happens to be perl keywords.
This avoids warnings on perl-5.004.
Unicode entities only triggered for perl-5.7.0 or higher.
The unbroken_text option now works across ignored tags.
Fix casting of pointers on some 64 bit platforms.
Fix decoding of Unicode entities. Only optionally available for
perl-5.7.0 or better.
Expose internal decode_entities() function at the Perl level.
Reindented some code.
The 3.16 release broke MULTIPLICITY builds. Fixed.
There was a C++ style comment left in util.c. Strict C
compilers do not like that kind of stuff.
Avoid the entity2char global. That should make the module
more thread safe. Patch by Gurusamy Sarathy <gsar@ActiveState.com>.
ones to do, and each compiled and installed/de-installed apparently
correctly.
As a side effect of the dynamic PLIST, we no longer need to have separate
-static and -shared PLISTs. It's now easier than ever to make a perl5
package for NetBSD :)
Changes include:
* Allow ":" in attribute names as a workaround for Microsoft Excel
2000 which generates such files.
* Make depreciate warning if netscape_buggy_comment() method is
used. The method to use in strict_comment().
* Avoid duplication of parse_file() method in HTML::HeadParser.
* $p->parse_file() will not close a handle passed to it any more.
If passed a filename that can't be opened it will return undef
instead of raising an exception, and strings like "*STDIN" are not
treated as globs any more.
* HTML::LinkExtor knowns about background attribute of <tables>.
Patch by Clinton Wong <clintdw@netcom.com>
* HTML::TokeParser will parse large inline strings much faster now.
The string holding the document must not be changed during parsing.
* Documentation updates.
