0.999
~~~~~
Released on December 23, 2013
* Fix#127: add work-around for CPython issue #20007: .read(0) on
http.client.HTTPResponse drops the rest of the content.
* Fix#115: lxml treewalker can now deal with fragments containing, at
their root level, text nodes with non-ASCII characters on Python 2.
0.99
~~~~
Released on September 10, 2013
* No library changes from 1.0b3; released as 0.99 as pip has changed
behaviour from 1.4 to avoid installing pre-release versions per
PEP 440.
1.0b3
~~~~~
Released on July 24, 2013
* Removed ``RecursiveTreeWalker`` from ``treewalkers._base``. Any
implementation using it should be moved to
``NonRecursiveTreeWalker``, as everything bundled with html5lib has
for years.
* Fix#67 so that ``BufferedStream`` to correctly returns a bytes
object, thereby fixing any case where html5lib is passed a
non-seekable RawIOBase-like object.
1.0b2
~~~~~
Released on June 27, 2013
* Removed reordering of attributes within the serializer. There is now
an ``alphabetical_attributes`` option which preserves the previous
behaviour through a new filter. This allows attribute order to be
preserved through html5lib if the tree builder preserves order.
* Removed ``dom2sax`` from DOM treebuilders. It has been replaced by
``treeadapters.sax.to_sax`` which is generic and supports any
treewalker; it also resolves all known bugs with ``dom2sax``.
* Fix treewalker assertions on hitting bytes strings on
Python 2. Previous to 1.0b1, treewalkers coped with mixed
bytes/unicode data on Python 2; this reintroduces this prior
behaviour on Python 2. Behaviour is unchanged on Python 3.
1.0b1
~~~~~
Released on May 17, 2013
* Implementation updated to implement the `HTML specification
<http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/>`_ as of 5th May
2013 (`SVN <http://svn.whatwg.org/webapps/>`_ revision r7867).
* Python 3.2+ supported in a single codebase using the ``six`` library.
* Removed support for Python 2.5 and older.
* Removed the deprecated Beautiful Soup 3 treebuilder.
``beautifulsoup4`` can use ``html5lib`` as a parser instead. Note that
since it doesn't support namespaces, foreign content like SVG and
MathML is parsed incorrectly.
* Removed ``simpletree`` from the package. The default tree builder is
now ``etree`` (using the ``xml.etree.cElementTree`` implementation if
available, and ``xml.etree.ElementTree`` otherwise).
* Removed the ``XHTMLSerializer`` as it never actually guaranteed its
output was well-formed XML, and hence provided little of use.
* Removed default DOM treebuilder, so ``html5lib.treebuilders.dom`` is no
longer supported. ``html5lib.treebuilders.getTreeBuilder("dom")`` will
return the default DOM treebuilder, which uses ``xml.dom.minidom``.
* Optional heuristic character encoding detection now based on
``charade`` for Python 2.6 - 3.3 compatibility.
* Optional ``Genshi`` treewalker support fixed.
* Many bugfixes, including:
* #33: null in attribute value breaks XML AttValue;
* #4: nested, indirect descendant, <button> causes infinite loop;
* `Google Code 215
<http://code.google.com/p/html5lib/issues/detail?id=215>`_: Properly
detect seekable streams;
* `Google Code 206
<http://code.google.com/p/html5lib/issues/detail?id=206>`_: add
support for <video preload=...>, <audio preload=...>;
* `Google Code 205
<http://code.google.com/p/html5lib/issues/detail?id=205>`_: add
support for <video poster=...>;
* `Google Code 202
<http://code.google.com/p/html5lib/issues/detail?id=202>`_: Unicode
file breaks InputStream.
* Source code is now mostly PEP 8 compliant.
* Test harness has been improved and now depends on ``nose``.
* Documentation updated and moved to http://html5lib.readthedocs.org/.
