* Updated to 2.2 (excerpt):
  See also http://codespeak.net/lxml/changes-2.2.html

  Features added:
  - Allow lxml.html.diff.htmldiff to accept Element objects, 
    not just HTML strings.
  - XSLT.strparam() class method to wrap quoted string parameters
    that require escaping.
  - Support strings and instantiable Element classes as child
    arguments to the constructor of custom Element classes.
  - GZip compression support for serialisation to files and
    file-like objects.
  - Support for standalone flag in XML declaration through 
    tree.docinfo.standalone and by passing standalone=True/False 
    on serialisation.
  
  Bugs fixed:
  - Memory leak in XPath evaluators.
  - Setting the base attribute in lxml.objectify from a unicode
    string failed.
  - Crash when parsing indented XML in one thread and merging
    it with other documents parsed in another thread.
  - Crash when parsing an XML Schema with external imports from
    a filename.
  - iter_links (and related link-rewriting functions) in lxml.html
    would interpret CSS like url("link") incorrectly (treating the
    quotation marks as part of the link).
  - Failing import on systems that have an io module.
  - Potential memory leak on exception handling. This was due
    to a problem in Cython, not lxml itself.
  - Crash when using an XPath evaluator in multiple threads.
  - Fixed missing whitespace before Link:... in lxml.html.diff.
  
  Other changes
  - The global error log (which is copied into the exception log)
    is now local to a thread, which fixes some race conditions.
  - More robust error handling on serialisation.
  - Export lxml.html.parse.

Wed Sep 18 10:00:00 CEST 2008 - toms@suse.de

- Updated to 2.1.2
  Features added
  * lxml.etree now tries to find the absolute path name of files
    when parsing from a file-like object. This helps custom resolvers
    when resolving relative URLs, as lixbml2 can prepend them with
    the path of the source document.
  
  Bugs fixed
  * Memory problem when passing documents between threads.
  * Target parser did not honour the recover option and raised an
    exception instead of calling .close() on the target.


-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed Jul 30 07:47:00 CEST 2008 - toms@suse.de

- Updated to 2.1.1
  Features added:
  * No new features
  Bugs fixed
  * Crash when parsing XSLT stylesheets in a thread and using them
    in another.
  * Encoding problem when including text with ElementInclude under
    Python 3.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed Jul 09 16:21:00 CEST 2008 - toms@suse.de

- Corrected SPEC file:
  * requires now libxml2 and libxslt
  * Cleaned up spec file, added %{py_requires}
  * Inserted PDF documentation
- Updated to 2.1:
  Features added
  * Smart strings can be switched off in XPath (smart_string keyword option).
  * lxml.html.rewrite_links() strips links to work around documents with
    whitespace in URL attributes.

  Bugs fixed
  * Custom resolvers were not used for XMLSchema includes/imports and
    XInclude processing.
  * CSS selector parser dropped remaining expression after a function
    with parameters.

- Other changes
  * objectify.enableRecursiveStr() was removed, use objectify.enable_recursive_str()
    instead
  * Speed-up when running XSLTs on documents from other threads

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Jun 20 11:23:00 CEST 2008 - toms@suse.de

- Updated to 2.0.7:
- Features added:
  * Pickling ElementTree objects in lxml.objectify.
- Bugs fixed:
  * Descending dot-separated classes in CSS selectors were not
    resolved correctly.
  * ElementTree.parse() didn't handle target parser result.
  * Potential threading problem in XInclude.
  * Crash in Element class lookup classes when the __init__()
    method of the super class is not called from Python subclasses.
- Other changes:
  * Non-ASCII characters in attribute values are no longer escaped on serialisation.

- Changes from 2.0.6:
- Features added:
  * No new features
- Bugs fixed
  * Incorrect evaluation of el.find("tag[child]").
  * Windows build was broken.
  * Moving a subtree from a document created in one thread into a
    document of another thread could crash when the rest of the 
    source document is deleted while the subtree is still in use.
  * Rare crash when serialising to a file object with certain encodings.
- Other changes:
  * lxml should now build without problems on MacOS-X (2.0.6)

Wed May 15 08:37:00 CEST 2008 - toms@suse.de

- SPEC: Fixed some warnings from rpmlint and removed duplicate doc dir
- Updated to 2.0.5
- Features added:
  - No new features
- Bugs fixed:
  - Resolving to a filename in custom resolvers didn't work.
  - lxml did not honour libxslt's second error state "STOPPED",
    which let some XSLT errors pass silently.
  - Memory leak in Schematron with libxml2 >= 2.6.31.


-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Apr 14 07:46:20 CEST 2008 - toms@suse.de

- Features added:
  - No new features

- Bugs fixed:
  - Hanging thread in conjunction with GTK threading.
  - Crash bug in iterparse when moving elements into other documents.
  - HTML elements' .cssselect() method was broken.
  - ElementTree.find*() didn't accept QName objects


-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Mar 28 11:01:26 CET 2008 - toms@suse.de

- Split documentation into subpackage python-lxml-doc
- Updated to 2.0.3
- Features added
  - soupparser.parse() allows passing keyword arguments on to
    BeautifulSoup.
  - fromstring() method in lxml.html.soupparser.

- Bugs fixed:
  - lxml.html.diff didn't treat empty tags properly (e.g., <br>).
  - Handle entity replacements correctly in target parser.
  - Crash when using iterparse() with XML Schema validation.
  - The BeautifulSoup parser (soupparser.py) did not replace entities,
    which made them turn up in text content.
  - Attribute assignment of custom PyTypes in objectify could fail
    to correctly serialise the value to a string.

- Other changes
  - lxml.html.ElementSoup was replaced by a new module lxml.html.soupparser
    with a more consistent API. The old module remains for
    compatibility with ElementTree's own ElementSoup module.
  - Setting the XSLT_CONFIG and XML2_CONFIG environment variables at
    build time will let setup.py pick up the xml2-config and xslt-config
    scripts from the supplied path name.
  - Passing --with-xml2-config=/path/to/xml2-config to setup.py will
    override the xml2-config script that is used to determine the
    C compiler options. The same applies for the --with-xslt-config option.

- Updated to 1.3.6
- Bugs fixed
  - Backported decref crash fix from 2.0
  - Well hidden free-while-in-use crash bug in ObjectPath

- Other changes
  - The test suites now run gc.collect() in the tearDown() methods.
    While this makes them take a lot longer to run, it also makes
    it easier to link a specific test to garbage collection problems
    that would otherwise appear in later tests.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Thu Aug 30 13:33:22 CEST 2007 - toms@suse.de

- Updated to 1.3.4
- Features added
  - The ElementMaker in lxml.builder now accepts the keyword arguments
    namespace and nsmap to set a namespace and nsmap for the Elements
    it creates.
  - The docinfo on ElementTree objects has new properties internalDTD
    and externalDTD that return a DTD object for the internal or external
    subset of the document respectively.
  - Serialising an ElementTree now includes any internal DTD subsets
    that are part of the document, as well as comments and PIs that are
    siblings of the root node.

- Bugs fixed
  - Parsing with the no_network option could fail

- Other changes
  - lxml now raises a TagNameWarning about tag names containing ':' instead
    of an Error as 1.3.3 did. The reason is that a number of projects
    currently misuse the previous lack of tag name validation to generate
    namespace prefixes without declaring namespaces. Apart from the danger
    of generating broken XML this way, it also breaks most of the
    namespace-aware tools in XML, including XPath, XSLT and validation.
    lxml 1.3.x will continue to support this bug with a Warning, while lxml
    2.0 will be strict about well-formed tag names (not only regarding ':').
  - Serialising an Element no longer includes its comment and PI siblings
    (only ElementTree serialisation includes them). 


-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Jul 30 15:10:07 CEST 2007 - toms@suse.de

- Updated to 1.3.3
- Features added:
  - ElementTree compatible parser ETCompatXMLParser strips
    processing instructions and comments while parsing XML
  - Parsers now support stripping PIs (keyword argument 'remove_pis')
  - etree.fromstring() now supports parsing both HTML and XML,
    depending on the parser you pass
  - Support base_url keyword argument in HTML() and XML()
 
- Bugs fixed:
  - Parsing from Python Unicode strings failed on some platforms
  - Element() did not raise an exception on tag names containing ':'
  - Element.getiterator(tag) did not accept Comment and ProcessingInstruction
    as tags. It also accepts Element now. 
 

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Jan 19 13:03:00 CET 2007 - toms@suse.de

- Updated to 1.1.2
- Features added:
  - Data elements in objectify support repr(), which is now used by dump()
  - Source distribution now ships with a patched Pyrex
  - New C-API function makeElement() to create new elements with text, tail, attributes and namespaces
  - Reuse original parser flags for XInclude
  - Simplified support for handling XSLT processing instructions

- Bugs fixed:
  - Parser resources were not freed before the next parser run
  - Open files and XML strings returned by Python resolvers were not closed/freed
  - Crash in the IDDict returned by XMLDTDID
  - Copying Comments and ProcessingInstructions failed
  - Memory leak for external URLs in _XSLTProcessingInstruction.parseXSL()
  - Memory leak when garbage collecting tailed root elements
  - HTML script/style content was not propagated to .text
