Changes from previous:
2.11 Tue Aug 23 16:01:04 EDT 2011
- added parsing context, override for eof() and parse() for
memory clear on new docs or post-eof()
- fixed some long standing test warnings
2.10 Sat Jul 15 20:50:41 EDT 2006
- minor bug fixed in HTML repair routines (thanks to Dave Gray)
2.09 Thu Jun 8 15:46:17 EDT 2006
- Tweaked rasterizer to handle some situations where the HTML is
broken but tables can still be inferred.
- Fixed TREE() definition for situations where import() is
not invoked. (thanks to DDICK on cpan.org)
2.08 Wed May 3 17:17:33 EDT 2006
- Implemented new rasterizer for grid mapping. Thanks to Roland
Schar for a tortuous example of span issues.
- Regular extraction and TREE mode are using the same
rasterizer now.
- Fixed HTML stripping for a header matching bug on single word
text in keep_html mode (thanks to Michael S. Muegel for
pointing the bug out)
2.07 Sun Feb 19 13:40:44 EST 2006
- Fixed subtable slicing bug
- Fixed hrow() attachment bug
- Added tests
2.06 Tue Oct 18 13:13:52 EDT 2005
- Tightened up element interactions in TREE() mode when examing
rows, columns, cells, etc. Was running into trouble with
dereferencing scalars vs objects.
- Documented space() H::TE::T method, added tests
- Added POD tests
- Documentation updates and fixes
2.05 Tue Oct 4 16:00:02 EDT 2005
- Fixed a TREE() definition bug and class method assignments
- Fixed a 'row above header' bug, added tests
2.04 Wed Aug 3 14:42:23 EDT 2005
- Fixed some conditional optional dependency tests in order to
avoid falure assertions on some test boxes.
2.03 Wed Jul 20 12:45:56 EDT 2005
- Fixed greedy attribute bug (non qualifying tables were being
selected under certain circumstances)
- Moved more completely to File::Spec operations in testload.pm
in order to make windows boxes happy.
2.02 Thu Jun 23 12:42:44 EDT 2005
- squelched TREE() creation warnings for subclasses
- fixed a rows() bug involving keep_headers
2.01 Tue Jun 21 22:05:53 EDT 2005
- fixed some test changes
2.00 Fri Jun 17 17:28:10 EDT 2005
- Can now return parsed tables as HTML::TableElement objects
within an HTML::Element tree structure (via HTML::TreeBuilder)
for such purposes as in-line editing of table content within
documents. Invoked via 'use HTML::TableExtract qw(tree);'.
- Added columns(), row(), column(), and cell() methods.
- Added some handy reporting methods: tables_report() and
tables_dump(). These are almost always handy while first
analyzing a new HTML document for table content.
- Debugging and error output can now be assigned to arbitrary
file handles.
! Old 'table_state' methods are now merely 'table' methods,
though the old table_state style is still supported.
! Chains have been dropped. Though interesting (think xpath),
they needlessly complicated matters as they were nearly
universally unused.
cpan mirrors.
Changes:
1.10 Mon Mar 7 10:45:54 EST 2005
- Minor fix to resets during calls to parse(). Resets must be
requested manually.
- Docs update to reflect impending arrival of 2.x series.
1.09 Fri Feb 25 17:49:00 EST 2005
- Tables can now be selected by table tag attributes
- lineage() method now returns row and column information, as
well as depth and count, for each ancestor (potential
backwards incompatability, entries are now 4 element arrays
now rather than 2)
- header matching and column retention enhancements
- header retention
- old-style procedures deprecated in prepration for them to
become methods
- various bug fixes
1.08 Thu Apr 4 11:26:27 CST 2002
- Added some more crufty HTML tolerance -- not
PC (puristicly correct) but HTML correctness
is probably of no interest to those merely
trying to extract information *out* of HTML.
- Fixed a mapback problem with the legacy methods
1.07 Wed Aug 22 06:14:24 CDT 2001
- Added keep_html option for HTML retention
- bug fix for depth/count targets
