- Update to 6.0.0:
* ``lxml.html.diff`` is faster and provides structurally better diffs.
* The factories ``Element`` and ``ElementTree`` can now be used in type
hints.
* Parsing from ``memoryview`` and other buffers is supported to allow
zero-copy parsing.
* ``lxml.html.builder`` was missing several HTML5 tag names.
* ``CDATA`` can now be written into the incremental ``xmlfile()`` writer.
* A new parser option ``decompress=False`` was added that controls the
automatic input decompression when using libxml2 2.15.0 or later.
* The set of compile time / runtime supported libxml2 feature names is
available as ``etree.LIBXML_COMPILED_FEATURES`` and
``etree.LIBXML_FEATURES``.
* Predicates in ``.find*()`` could mishandle tag indices if a default
namespace is provided.
* The ``head`` and ``body`` properties of ``lxml.html`` elements failed
if no such element was found. They now return ``None`` instead.
* Tag names provided by code (API, not data) that are longer than
``INT_MAX`` could be truncated or mishandled in other ways.
* ``.text_content()`` on ``lxml.html`` elements accidentally returned
a "smart string" without additional information. It now returns a plain
string.
* Support for Python < 3.8 was removed.
* Parsing directly from zlib (or lzma) compressed data is now considered
an optional feature in lxml.
* The ``Schematron`` class is deprecated and will become non-functional in
a future lxml version.
* Built using Cython 3.1.2.
* The debug methods ``MemDebug.dump()`` and ``MemDebug.show()`` were
removed completely.

- 5.3.0 (2024-08-10)
Features added
- GH#421: Nested CDATA sections are no longer rejected but split
on output to represent ]]> correctly. Patch by Gertjan Klein.
Bugs fixed
- LP#2060160: Attribute values serialised differently in
xmlfile.element() and xmlfile.write().
- LP#2058177: The ISO-Schematron implementation could fail on
unknown prefixes. Patch by David Lakin.
Other changes
- LP#2067707: The strip_cdata option in HTMLParser() turned out
to be useless and is now deprecated.
- Built with Cython 3.0.11.

- Remove not needed patch skip-test-under-libexpat-2.6.0.patch
- Update to 5.2.2:
- GH#417: The test_feed_parser test could fail if lxml_html_clean
was not installed. It is now skipped in that case.
- LP#2059910: The minimum CPU architecture for the Linux x86 binary
wheels was set back to "core2", without SSE 4.2.
- If libxml2 uses iconv, the compile time version is available as
etree.ICONV_COMPILED_VERSION.
- 5.2.1
- LP#2059910: The minimum CPU architecture for the Linux x86 binary
wheels was set back to "core2", but with SSE 4.2 enabled.
- LP#2059977: ``Element.iterfind("//absolute_path")`` failed with a
``SyntaxError`` where it should have issued a warning.
- GH#416: The documentation build was using the non-standard
``which`` command. Patch by Michał Górny.
- 5.2.0
- LP#1958539: The ``lxml.html.clean`` implementation suffered from
several (only if used) security issues in the past and was now
extracted into a separate library:
https://github.com/fedora-python/lxml_html_clean
Projects that use lxml without "lxml.html.clean" will not notice
any difference, except that they won't have potentially vulnerable
code installed. The module is available as an "extra" setuptools
dependency "lxml[html_clean]", so that Projects that need
"lxml.html.clean" will need to switch their requirements from
"lxml" to "lxml[html_clean]", or install the new library
themselves.
- The minimum CPU architecture for the Linux x86 binary wheels was
upgraded to "sandybridge" (launched 2011), and glibc 2.28 / gcc 12
(manylinux_2_28) wheels were added.
