* Rakefile: prepping for 0.6 release.

Line 
1= 0.6
2=== 15th June, 2007
3* Hpricot for JRuby -- nice work Ola Bini!
4* Inline Markaby for Hpricot documents.
5* XML tags and attributes are no longer downcased like HTML is.
6* new syntax for grabbing everything between two elements using a Range in the search method: (doc/("font".."font/br")) or in nodes_at like so: (doc/"font").nodes_at("*".."br"). Only works with either a pair of siblings or a set of a parent and a sibling.
7* Ignore self-closing endings on tags (such as form) which are containers. Treat them like open parent tags. Reported by Jonathan Nichols on the hpricot list.
8* Escaping of attributes, yanked from Jim Weirich and Sam Ruby's work in Builder.
9* Element#raw_attributes gives unescaped data.  Element#attributes gives escaped.
10* Added: Elements#attr, Elements#remove_attr, Elements#remove_class.
11* Added: Traverse#preceding, Traverse#following, Traverse#previous, Traverse#next.

13= 0.5

16* support for a[text()="Click Me!"] and h3[text()*="space"] and the like.
17* Hpricot.buffer_size accessor for increasing Hpricot's buffer if you're encountering huge ASP.NET viewstate attribs.
18* some support for colons in tag names (not full namespace support yet.)
19* Element.to_original_html will attempt to preserve the original HTML while merging your changes.
20* Element.to_plain_text converts an element's contents to a simple text format.
21* Element.inner_text removes all tags and returns text nodes concatenated into a single string.
22* no @raw_string variable kept for comments, text, and cdata -- as it's redundant.
23* xpath-style indices (//p/a[1]) but keep in mind that they aren't zero-based.
24* node_position is the index among all sibling nodes, while position is the position among children of identical type.
25* comment() and text() search criteria, like: //p/text(), which selects all text inside paragraph tags.
26* every element has css_path and xpath methods which return respective absolute paths.
27* more flexibility all around: in parsing attributes, tags, comments and cdata.
28
29= 0.4
30=== 11th August, 2006
31
32* The :fixup_tags option will try to sort out the hierarchy so elements end up with the right parents.
33* Elements such as *script* and *style* (identified as having CDATA contents) receive a single text node as their children now.  Previously, Hpricot was parsing out tags found in scripts.
34* Better scanning of partially quoted attributes (found by Brent Beardsly on http://uswebgen.com/)
35* Better scanning of unquoted attributes -- thanks to Aaron Patterson for the test cases!
36* Some tags were being output in the empty tag style, although browsers hated that.  FIXED!
37* Added Elements#at for finding single elements.
38* Added Elem::Trav#[] and Elem::Trav#[]= for reading and writing attributes.
39
40= 0.3
41=== 7th July, 2006
42
43* Fixed negative string size error on empty tokens. (news.bbc.co.uk)
44* Allow the parser to accept just text nodes. (such as: <tt>Hpricot.parse('TEXT')</tt>)
45* from JQuery to Hpricot::Elements: remove, empty, append, prepend, before, after, wrap, set,
46  html(...), to_html, to_s.
47* on containers: to_html, replace_child, insert_before, insert_after, innerHTML=.
48* Hpricot(...) is an alias for parse.
49* open up all properties to setters, let people do as they may.
50* use to_html for the full html of a node or set of elements.
51* doctypes were messed.
52
53= 0.2
54=== 4th July, 2006
55
56* Rewrote the HTree parser to be simpler, more adequate for the common man.  Will add encoding back in later.
57
58= 0.1
59=== 3rd July, 2006
60
61* For whatever reason, wrote this HTML parser in C.
62  I guess Ragel is addictive and I want to improve HTree.
