taca ebc5ee53af Update ruby-nokogiri to 1.6.8.1
=== 1.6.8.1 / 2016-10-03

==== Dependency License Notes

Removes required dependency on the `pkg-config` gem. This dependency
was introduced in v1.6.8 and, because it's distributed under LGPL, was
objectionable to many Nokogiri users (#1488, #1496).

This version makes `pkg-config` an optional dependency. If it's
installed, it's used; but otherwise Nokogiri will attempt to work
around its absence.


=== 1.6.8 / unreleased

==== Security Notes

[MRI] Bundled libxml2 is upgraded to 2.9.4, which fixes many security issues. Many of these had previously been patched in the vendored libxml 2.9.2 in the 1.6.7.x branch, but some are newer.

See these libxml2 email posts for more:

* https://mail.gnome.org/archives/xml/2015-November/msg00012.html
* https://mail.gnome.org/archives/xml/2016-May/msg00023.html

For a more detailed analysis, you may care to read Canonical's take on these security issues:

[MRI] Bundled libxslt is upgraded to 1.1.29, which fixes a security issue as well as many long-known outstanding bugs, some features, some portability improvements, and general cleanup.

See this libxslt email post for more:

==== Features

Several changes were made to improve performance:

* [MRI] Simplify NodeSet#to_a with a minor speed-up. (#1397)
* XML::Node#ancestors optimization. (#1297) (Thanks, Bruno Sutic!)

* XML::DTD#each uses implicit block calls. (Thanks, @glaucocustodio!)

* Set document encoding appropriately even on blank document. (#1043) (Thanks, @batter!)


==== Bug Fixes

* [JRuby] fix slow add_child (#692)

* [MRI] Ensure encodings are passed to Sax::Parser xmldecl callback. (#844)
* [MRI] Ensure default ns prefix is applied correctly when reparenting nodes to another document. (#391) (Thanks, @ylecuyer!)
* [MRI] Ensure Reader handles non-existent attributes as expected. (#1254) (Thanks, @ccutrer!)
