- update to 4.14.3
* When using one of the lxml tree builders, you can pass in
huge_tree=True to disable lxml's security restrictions and process
files that include huge text nodes. ("huge" means more than
10,000,000 bytes of text in a single node). Without this, lxml may
silently stop processing the file after encountering a huge text
node.
* The html.parser tree builder processes numeric character entities
using the algorithm described in the HTML spec. If this means
replacing some other character with REPLACEMENT CHARACTER, it will
set BeautifulSoup.contains_replacement_characters.
* Added a general test of the html.parser tree builder's ability to
turn any parsing exception from html.parser into a
ParserRejectedMarkup exception. This makes it possible to remove
version-dependent tests that depended on the existence of specific
bugs in html.parser.
- Add htmlparser.patch to fix behaviour with cpython interpreters

* Making ResultSet inherit from MutableSequence still resulted
in too many breaking changes in users of the library,
so I reverted the ResultSet code back to where it was in 4.13.5
and added tests of all known breaking behavior. [bug=2125906]
* Made ResultSet inherit from MutableSequence instead of
Sequence, since lots of existing code treats ResultSet as a
mutable list.
* This version adds function overloading to the find_* methods
to make it easier to write type-safe Python.
* The typing for find_parent() and find_parents() was improved
without any overloading. Casts should never be necessary,
since those methods only ever return Tag and ResultSet[Tag],
respectively.
* ResultSet now inherits from Sequence. This should make it
easier to incorporate ResultSet objects into your type system
without needing to handle ResultSet specially.
* Fixed an unhandled exception when creating the string
representation of a decomposed element.
* The default value for the 'attrs' attribute in find* methods
is now None, not the empty dictionary. This should have no visible
effect on anything.
this release through its long beta process.

- Update to 4.13.5
* Fixed an unhandled exception when parsing invalid markup that contains the { character
when using lxml==6.0.0. [bug=2116306]
* Fixed a regression when matching a multi-valued attribute against the
empty string. [bug=2115352]
* Unit tests and test case data are no longer packaged with the wheel. [bug=2107495]
* Fixed a bug that gave the wrong result when parsing the empty bytestring. [bug=2110492]
* Brought the Spanish translation of the documentation up to date with
4.13.4. Courtesy of Carlos Romero.
* For Python 3.13 and above, disabled tests that verify Beautiful Soup's handling of htmlparser's
exceptions when given very bad markup. The bug in htmlparser that caused
this behavior has been fixed. Patch courtesy of Stefano Rivera.
* Used overloading to improve type hints for prettify().
* Updated the SoupStrainer documentation to clarify that during initial
parsing, attribute values are always passed into the SoupStrainer as raw strings. [bug=2111651]
* Fixed all type checking errors issued by pyright. (Previously only mypy
was used for type checking.)
* Improved the type hints for PageElement.replace_with. [bug=2114746]
* Improved the type hint for the arguments of the lambda function that can
be used to match a tag's attribute. [bug=2110401]
* Modified some of the lxml tests to accommodate behavioral changes in libxml2
2.14.3. Specifically:
1. XML declarations and processing instructions in HTML documents
are rewritten as comments. Note that this means XHTML documents will
now turn into regular HTML documents if run through the 'lxml'
parser. The 'xml' parser is unaffected.
2. Out-of-range numeric entities are replaced with REPLACEMENT
CHARACTER rather than omitted entirely. [bug=2112242]

- Update to 4.13.4
* If you pass a function as the first argument to a find* method,
the function will only ever be called once per tag, with the
Tag object as the argument. Starting in 4.13.0, there were
cases where the function would be called with a Tag object and
then called again with the name of the tag. [bug=2106435]
* Added a passthrough implementation for
NavigableString.__getitem__ which gives a more helpful
exception if the user tries to treat it as a Tag and access its
HTML attributes.
* Fixed a bug that caused an exception when unpickling the result
of parsing certain invalid markup with lxml as the tree
builder. [bug=2103126]
* Converted the AUTHORS file to UTF-8 for PEP8 compliance.
[bug=2107405]
- Release 4.13.3 (20250204)
* Modified the 4.13.2 change slightly to restore backwards
compatibility. Specifically, calling a find_* method with no
arguments should return the first Tag out of the iterator, not
the first PageElement. [bug=2097333]
- Release 4.13.2 (20250204)
* Gave ElementFilter the ability to explicitly say that it
excludes every item in the parse tree. This is used internally
in situations where the provided filters are logically
inconsistent or match a value against the null set.
Without this, it's not always possible to distinguish between a
SoupStrainer that excludes everything and one that excludes
nothing.

* Fixed a regression such that if you set .hidden on a tag, the
tag becomes invisible but its contents are still visible. User
manipulation of .hidden is not a documented or supported
feature, so don't do this, but it wasn't too difficult to
keep the old behavior
working.
* Fixed a case found by Mengyuhan where html.parser giving up
on markup would result in an AssertionError instead of a
ParserRejectedMarkup exception.
* Added the correct stacklevel to instances of the
XMLParsedAsHTMLWarning.
* Corrected the syntax of the license definition in
pyproject.toml.
* Corrected a typo in a test that was causing test failures
when run against libxml2 2.12.1.
- Require cchardet explicitly to avoid charset-normalizer braindamage.
- disable tests on SLE_11, fail due to too old python-lxml
- remove lxml support (fails unit test)
- Use recommended lxml parser instead of native one

* Fixed an unhandled exception in BeautifulSoup.decode_contents
and methods that call it. [bug=2015545]
- 4.12.1:
* This version of Beautiful Soup replaces setup.py and setup.cfg
with pyproject.toml. Beautiful Soup now uses tox as its test backend
and hatch to do builds.
* The main functional improvement in this version is a nonrecursive technique
for regenerating a tree. This technique is used to avoid situations where,
in previous versions, doing something to a very deeply nested tree
would overflow the Python interpreter stack:
1. Outputting a tree as a string, e.g. with
BeautifulSoup.encode() [bug=1471755]
2. Making copies of trees (copy.copy() and
copy.deepcopy() from the Python standard library). [bug=1709837]
3. Pickling a BeautifulSoup object. (Note that pickling a Tag
object can still cause an overflow.)
* Making a copy of a BeautifulSoup object no longer parses the
document again, which should improve performance significantly.
* When a BeautifulSoup object is unpickled, Beautiful Soup now
tries to associate an appropriate TreeBuilder object with it.
* Tag.prettify() will now consistently end prettified markup with
a newline.
* Added unit tests for fuzz test cases created by third
parties. Some of these tests are skipped since they point
to problems outside of Beautiful Soup, but this change
puts them all in one convenient place.
* PageElement now implements the known_xml attribute. (This was technically
a bug, but it shouldn't be an issue in normal use.) [bug=2007895]
* The demonstrate_parser_differences.py script was still written in
OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/devel:languages:python/python-beautifulsoup4?expand=0&rev=87
* This is the first release of Beautiful Soup to only support Python 3.
* The behavior of methods like .get_text() and .strings now differs
depending on the type of tag.
* NavigableString and its subclasses now implement the get_text()
method, as well as the properties .strings and
.stripped_strings.
* The 'html5' formatter now treats attributes whose values are the
empty string as HTML boolean attributes.
* The 'replace_with()' method now takes a variable number of arguments,
and can be used to replace a single element with a sequence of elements.
* Corrected output when the namespace prefix associated with a
namespaced attribute is the empty string, as opposed to
None.
* Performance improvement when processing tags that speeds up overall
tree construction by 2%. Patch by Morotti. [bug=1899358]
* Corrected the use of special string container classes in cases when a
single tag may contain strings with different containers; such as
the <template> tag, which may contain both TemplateString objects
and Comment objects.
* The html.parser tree builder can now handle named entities
found in the HTML5 spec in much the same way that the html5lib
tree builder does.
* Added a second way to pass specify encodings to UnicodeDammit and
EncodingDetector, based on the order of precedence defined in the
HTML5 spec.
* Improve the warning issued when a directory name (as opposed to
the name of a regular file) is passed as markup into the BeautifulSoup
constructor.
- Do not pass the directory to pytest.
OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/devel:languages:python/python-beautifulsoup4?expand=0&rev=82
* Fixed a bug that caused too many tags to be popped from the tag
stack during tree building, when encountering a closing tag that had
no matching opening tag. [bug=1880420]
* Fixed a bug that inconsistently moved elements over when passing
a Tag, rather than a list, into Tag.extend(). [bug=1885710]
* Specify the soupsieve dependency in a way that complies with
PEP 508. Patch by Mike Nerone. [bug=1893696]
* Change the signatures for BeautifulSoup.insert_before and insert_after
(which are not implemented) to match PageElement.insert_before and
insert_after, quieting warnings in some IDEs. [bug=1897120]
OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/devel:languages:python/python-beautifulsoup4?expand=0&rev=79
* Added a keyword argument 'on_duplicate_attribute' to the
BeautifulSoupHTMLParser constructor (used by the html.parser tree
builder) which lets you customize the handling of markup that
contains the same attribute more than once, as in:
<a href="url1" href="url2"> [bug=1878209]
* Added a distinct subclass, GuessedAtParserWarning, for the warning
issued when BeautifulSoup is instantiated without a parser being
specified. [bug=1873787]
* Added a distinct subclass, MarkupResemblesLocatorWarning, for the
warning issued when BeautifulSoup is instantiated with 'markup' that
actually seems to be a URL or the path to a file on
disk. [bug=1873787]
* The new NavigableString subclasses (Stylesheet, Script, and
TemplateString) can now be imported directly from the bs4 package.
* If you encode a document with a Python-specific encoding like
'unicode_escape', that encoding is no longer mentioned in the final
XML or HTML document. Instead, encoding information is omitted or
left blank. [bug=1874955]
* Fixed test failures when run against soupselect 2.0. Patch by Tomáš
Chvátal. [bug=1872279]

* Added Python docstrings to all public methods of the most commonly
used classes.
* Fixed two deprecation warnings. Patches by Colin
Watson and Nicholas Neumann. [bug=1847592] [bug=1855301]
* The html.parser tree builder now correctly handles DOCTYPEs that are
not uppercase. [bug=1848401]
* PageElement.select() now returns a ResultSet rather than a regular
list, making it consistent with methods like find_all().

* When the html.parser or html5lib parsers are in use, Beautiful Soup
will, by default, record the position in the original document where
each tag was encountered.
* Fixed the definition of the default XML namespace when using
lxml 4.4.
* Avoid a crash when unpickling certain parse trees generated
using html5lib on Python 3.
* Avoid a crash when trying to detect the declared encoding of a
Unicode document.
- Drop patch beautifulsoup4-lxml-fixes.patch as it seems not needed
OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/devel:languages:python/python-beautifulsoup4?expand=0&rev=71
- Update to 4.8.0
* It's now possible to customize the TreeBuilder object by passing
keyword arguments into the BeautifulSoup constructor. The main
reason to do this right now is to change how which attributes are
treated as multi-valued attributes (the way 'class' is treated by
default). You can do this with the `multi_valued_attributes` argument.
* The role of Formatter objects has been greatly expanded. The Formatter
class now controls the following:
> The function to call to perform entity substitution. (This was
previously Formatter's only job.)
> Which tags should be treated as containing CDATA and have their
contents exempt from entity substitution.
> The order in which a tag's attributes are output.
> Whether or not to put a '/' inside a void element, e.g. '<br/>' vs '<br>'
All preexisting code should work as before.
* Added a new method to the API, Tag.smooth(), which consolidates
multiple adjacent NavigableString elements.
* ' (which is valid in XML, XHTML, and HTML 5, but not HTML 4) is now
recognized as a named entity and converted to a single quote.

- Update to 4.7.1:
* Fixed a significant performance problem introduced in 4.7.0. [bug=1810617]
* Fixed an incorrectly raised exception when inserting a tag before or
after an identical tag. [bug=1810692]
* Beautiful Soup will no longer try to keep track of namespaces that
are not defined with a prefix; this can confuse soupselect. [bug=1810680]
* Tried even harder to avoid the deprecation warning originally fixed in
4.6.1. [bug=1778909]
* Beautiful Soup's CSS Selector implementation has been replaced by a
dependency on Isaac Muse's SoupSieve project (the soupsieve package
on PyPI). The good news is that SoupSieve has a much more robust and
complete implementation of CSS selectors, resolving a large number
of longstanding issues. The bad news is that from this point onward,
SoupSieve must be installed if you want to use the select() method.
* Added the PageElement.extend() method, which works like list.append().
[bug=1514970]
* PageElement.insert_before() and insert_after() now take a variable
number of arguments. [bug=1514970]
* Fix a number of problems with the tree builder that caused
trees that were superficially okay, but which fell apart when bits
were extracted. Patch by Isaac Muse. [bug=1782928,1809910]
* Fixed a problem with the tree builder in which elements that
contained no content (such as empty comments and all-whitespace
elements) were not being treated as part of the tree. Patch by Isaac
Muse. [bug=1798699]
* Fixed a problem with multi-valued attributes where the value
contained whitespace. Thanks to Jens Svalgaard for the
fix. [bug=1787453]

- update to 4.6.1:
* Stop data loss when encountering an empty numeric entity, and
possibly in other cases. Thanks to tos.kamiya for the fix. [bug=1698503]
* Preserve XML namespaces introduced inside an XML document, not just
the ones introduced at the top level. [bug=1718787]
* Added a new formatter, "html5", which represents void elements
as "<element>" rather than "<element/>". [bug=1716272]
* Fixed a problem where the html.parser tree builder interpreted
a string like "&foo " as the character entity "&foo;" [bug=1728706]
* Correctly handle invalid HTML numeric character entities like “
which reference code points that are not Unicode code points. Note
that this is only fixed when Beautiful Soup is used with the
html.parser parser -- html5lib already worked and I couldn't fix it
with lxml. [bug=1782933]
* Improved the warning given when no parser is specified. [bug=1780571]
* When markup contains duplicate elements, a select() call that
includes multiple match clauses will match all relevant
elements. [bug=1770596]
* Fixed code that was causing deprecation warnings in recent Python 3
versions. Includes a patch from Ville Skyttä. [bug=1778909] [bug=1689496]

markup string is a filename. [bug=1737121]

getting the value of an attribute, but which always returns a list,
whether or not the attribute is a multi-value attribute. [bug=1678589]
* Improved the handling of empty-element tags like <br> when using the
html.parser parser. [bug=1676935]
* HTML parsers treat all HTML4 and HTML5 empty element tags (aka void
element tags) correctly. [bug=1656909]

- update to 4.5.1:
* Fixed a crash when passing Unicode markup that contained a
processing instruction into the lxml HTML parser on Python
3. [bug=1608048]
* Beautiful Soup is no longer compatible with Python 2.6. This
actually happened a few releases ago, but it's now official.
* Beautiful Soup will now work with versions of html5lib greater than
0.99999999. [bug=1603299]
* If a search against each individual value of a multi-valued
attribute fails, the search will be run one final time against the
complete attribute value considered as a single string. That is, if
a tag has class="foo bar" and neither "foo" nor "bar" matches, but
"foo bar" does, the tag is now considered a match.
This happened in previous versions, but only when the value being
searched for was a string. Now it also works when that value is
a regular expression, a list of strings, etc. [bug=1476868]
* Fixed a bug that deranged the tree when a whitespace element was
reparented into a tag that contained an identical whitespace
element. [bug=1505351]
* Added support for CSS selector values that contain quoted spaces,
such as tag[style="display: foo"]. [bug=1540588]
* Corrected handling of XML processing instructions. [bug=1504393]
* Corrected an encoding error that happened when a BeautifulSoup
object was copied. [bug=1554439]
* The contents of <textarea> tags will no longer be modified when the
tree is prettified. [bug=1555829]
* When a BeautifulSoup object is pickled but its tree builder cannot
be pickled, its .builder attribute is set to None instead of being
destroyed. This avoids a performance problem once the object is
unpickled. [bug=1523629]

- update to 4.2.1:
* The default XML formatter will now replace ampersands even if they
appear to be part of entities. That is, "<" will become
"&lt;". The old code was left over from Beautiful Soup 3, which
didn't always turn entities into Unicode characters.
If you really want the old behavior (maybe because you add new
strings to the tree, those strings include entities, and you want
the formatter to leave them alone on output), it can be found in
EntitySubstitution.substitute_xml_containing_entities(). [bug=1182183]
* Gave new_string() the ability to create subclasses of
NavigableString. [bug=1181986]
* Fixed another bug by which the html5lib tree builder could create a
disconnected tree. [bug=1182089]
* The .previous_element of a BeautifulSoup object is now always None,
not the last element to be parsed. [bug=1182089]
* Fixed test failures when lxml is not installed. [bug=1181589]
* html5lib now supports Python 3. Fixed some Python 2-specific
code in the html5lib test suite. [bug=1181624]
* The html.parser treebuilder can now handle numeric attributes in

capital X. Patch by Tim Shirley. [bug=1186242]
