- update to 3.2.0:
* Leading whitespace could change the behaviour of the string
parsing functions in ``lxml.html``.
* LP#599318: The string parsing functions in ``lxml.html`` are more robust
in the face of uncommon HTML content like framesets or missing body tags.
Patch by Stefan Seelmann.
* LP#712941: I/O errors while trying to access files with paths that contain
non-ASCII characters could raise ``UnicodeDecodeError`` instead of properly
reporting the ``IOError``.
* LP#673205: Parsing from in-memory strings disabled network access in the
default parser and made subsequent attempts to parse from a URL fail.
* LP#971754: lxml.html.clean appends 'nofollow' to 'rel' attributes instead
of overwriting the current value.
* LP#715687: lxml.html.clean no longer discards scripts that are explicitly
allowed by the user provided whitelist. Patch by Christine Koppelt.

- update to 3.1.1:
(changes taken from http://lxml.de/3.1/changes-3.1.1.html)
* 3.1.1 (2013-03-29)
** Bugs fixed
- LP#1160386: Write access to lxml.html.FormElement.fields raised an AttributeError in Py3.
- Illegal memory access during cleanup in incremental xmlfile writer.
** Other changes
- The externally useless class lxml.etree._BaseParser was removed from the module dict.
* 3.1.0 (2013-02-10)
** Features added
- GH#89: lxml.html.clean allows overriding the set of attributes that it considers 'safe'.
Patch by Francis Devereux.
** Bugs fixed
- LP#1104370: copy.copy(el.attrib) raised an exception. It now returns a copy of the
attributes as a plain Python dict.
- GH#95: When used with namespace prefixes, the el.find*() methods always used the first
namespace mapping that was provided for each path expression instead of using the one that
was actually passed in for the current run.
- LP#1092521, GH#91: Fix undefined C symbol in Python runtimes compiled without threading
support. Patch by Ulrich Seidl.
* 3.1beta1 (2012-12-21)
** Features added
- New build-time option --with-unicode-strings for Python 2 that makes the API always
return Unicode strings for names and text instead of byte strings for plain ASCII content.
- New incremental XML file writing API etree.xmlfile().
- E factory in lxml.objectify is callable to simplify the creation of tags with
non-identifier names without having to resort to getattr().
** Bugs fixed
- When starting from a non-namespaced element in lxml.objectify, searching for a
child without explicitly specifying a namespace incorrectly found namespaced
elements with the requested local name, instead of restricting the search to
non-namespaced children.
- GH#85: Deprecation warnings were fixed for Python 3.x.
- GH#33: lxml.html.fromstring() failed to accept bytes input in Py3.
- LP#1080792: Static build of libxml2 2.9.0 failed due to missing file.
** Other changes
- The externally useless class _ObjectifyElementMakerCaller was removed from the
module API of lxml.objectify.
- LP#1075622: lxml.builder is faster for adding text to elements with many children.
Patch by Anders Hammarquist.
* 3.0.2 (2012-12-14)
** Bugs fixed
- Fix crash during interpreter shutdown by switching to Cython 0.17.3 for building.
* 3.0.1 (2012-10-14)
** Bugs fixed
- LP#1065924: Element proxies could disappear during garbage collection in PyPy
without proper cleanup.
- GH#71: Failure to work with libxml2 2.6.x.
- LP#1065139: static MacOS-X build failed in Py3.
* 3.0 (2012-10-08)
** Bugs fixed
- End-of-file handling was incorrect in iterparse() when reading from a low-level
C file stream and failed in libxml2 2.9.0 due to its improved consistency checks.
** Other changes
- The build no longer uses Cython by default unless the generated C files are
missing. To use Cython, pass the option "--with-cython". To ignore the fatal build
error when Cython is required but not available (e.g. to run special setup.py
commands that do not actually run a build), pass "--without-cython".
* 3.0beta1 (2012-09-26)
** Features added
- Python level access to (optional) libxml2 memory debugging features to simplify
debugging of memory leaks etc.
** Bugs fixed
- Fix a memory leak in XPath by switching to Cython 0.17.1.
- Some tests were adapted to work with PyPy.
** Other changes
- The code was adapted to work with the upcoming libxml2 2.9.0 release.
* 3.0alpha2 (2012-08-23)
** Features added
- The .iter() method of elements now accepts tag arguments like "{*}name" to search
for elements with a given local name in any namespace. With this addition, all
combinations of wildcards now work as expected: "{ns}name", "{}name", "{*}name",
"{ns}*", "{}*" and "{*}*". Note that "name" is equivalent to "{}name", but "*" is
"{*}*". The same change applies to the .getiterator(), .itersiblings(), .iterancestors(),
.iterdescendants(), .iterchildren() and .itertext() methods;the strip_attributes(),
strip_elements() and strip_tags() functions as well as the iterparse() class.
Patch by Simon Sapin.
- C14N allows specifying the inclusive prefixes to be promoted to top-level during
exclusive serialisation.
** Bugs fixed
- Passing long Unicode strings into the feed() parser interface failed to read the entire string.
* 3.0alpha1 (2012-07-31)
** Features added
- Initial support for building in PyPy (through cpyext).
- DTD objects gained an API that allows read access to their declarations.
- xpathgrep.py gained support for parsing line-by-line (e.g. from grep output) and
for surrounding the output with a new root tag.
- E-factory in lxml.builder accepts subtypes of known data types (such as string
subtypes) when building elements around them.
- Tree iteration and iterparse() with a selective tag argument supports passing a
set of tags. Tree nodes will be returned by the iterators if they match any of the tags.
** Bugs fixed
- The .find*() methods in lxml.objectify no longer use XPath internally, which makes
them faster in many cases (especially when short circuiting after a single or
couple of elements) and fixes some behavioural differences compared to lxml.etree.
Note that this means that they no longer support arbitrary XPath expressions but
only the subset that the ElementPath language supports. The previous implementation
was also redundant with the normal XPath support, which can be used as a replacement.
- el.find('*') could accidentally return a comment or processing instruction that
happened to be in the wrong spot. (Same for the other .find*() methods.)
- The error logging is less intrusive and avoids a global setup where possible.
- Fixed undefined names in html5lib parser.
- xpathgrep.py did not work in Python 3.
- Element.attrib.update() did not accept an attrib of another Element as parameter.
- For subtypes of ElementBase that make the .text or .tail properties immutable (as in
objectify, for example), inserting text when creating Elements through the E-Factory
feature of the class constructor would fail with an exception, stating that the text
cannot be modified.
** Other changes
- The code base was overhauled to properly use 'const' where the API of libxml2 anders
libxslt requests it. This also has an impact on the public C-API of lxml itself, as
defined in etreepublic.pxd, as well as the provided declarations in the lxml/includes/
directory. Code that uses these declarations may have to be adapted. On the plus side,
this fixes several C compiler warnings, also for user code, thus making it easier to
spot real problems again.
- The functionality of "lxml.cssselect" was moved into a separate PyPI package called
"cssselect". To continue using it, you must install that package separately. The
"lxml.cssselect" module is still available and provides the same interface, provided
the "cssselect" package can be imported at runtime.
- Element attributes passed in as an attrib dict or as keyword arguments are now sorted
by (namespaced) name before being created to make their order predictable for
serialisation and iteration. Note that adding or deleting attributes afterwards does
not take that order into account, i.e. setting a new attribute appends it after the
existing ones.
- Several classes that are for internal use only were removed from the lxml.etree module
dict: _InputDocument, _ResolverRegistry, _ResolverContext, _BaseContext, _ExsltRegExp,
_IterparseContext, _TempStore, _ExceptionContext, __ContentOnlyElement, _AttribIterator,
_NamespaceRegistry, _ClassNamespaceRegistry, _FunctionNamespaceRegistry,
_XPathFunctionNamespaceRegistry, _ParserDictionaryContext, _FileReaderContext,
_ParserContext, _PythonSaxParserTarget, _TargetParserContext, _ReadOnlyProxy,
_ReadOnlyPIProxy, _ReadOnlyEntityProxy, _ReadOnlyElementProxy, _OpaqueNodeWrapper,
_OpaqueDocumentWrapper, _ModifyContentOnlyProxy, _ModifyContentOnlyPIProxy,
_ModifyContentOnlyEntityProxy, _AppendOnlyElementProxy, _SaxParserContext,
_FilelikeWriter, _ParserSchemaValidationContext, _XPathContext, _XSLTResolverContext,
_XSLTContext, _XSLTQuotedStringParam
- Several internal classes can no longer be inherited from: _InputDocument,
_ResolverRegistry, _ExsltRegExp, _ElementUnicodeResult, _IterparseContext, _TempStore,
_AttribIterator, _ClassNamespaceRegistry, _XPathFunctionNamespaceRegistry,
_ParserDictionaryContext, _FileReaderContext, _PythonSaxParserTarget,
_TargetParserContext, _ReadOnlyPIProxy, _ReadOnlyEntityProxy, _OpaqueDocumentWrapper,
_ModifyContentOnlyPIProxy, _ModifyContentOnlyEntityProxy, _AppendOnlyElementProxy,
_FilelikeWriter, _ParserSchemaValidationContext, _XPathContext, _XSLTResolverContext,
_XSLTContext, _XSLTQuotedStringParam, _XSLTResultTree, _XSLTProcessingInstruction
* 2.3.6 (2012-09-28)
** Bugs fixed
- Passing long Unicode strings into the feed() parser interface failed to read the
entire string.
* 2.3.5 (2012-07-31)
** Bugs fixed
- Crash when merging text nodes in element.remove().
- Crash in sax/target parser when reporting empty doctype.

- Update to version 2.3.4; bugs fixed:
* Crash due to race condition when errors (or user messages) occur during
threaded XSLT processing.
* XSLT stylesheet compilation could ignore compilation errors.
- Exclude etree_defs.h from RPM

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Mar 9 20:57:25 UTC 2012 - saschpe@gmx.de
- Update to version 2.3.3:
* lxml.html.tostring() gained new serialisation options with_tail and doctype.
* Fixed a crash when using iterparse() for HTML parsing and requesting start events.
* Fixed parsing of more selectors in cssselect. Whitespace before
pseudo-elements and pseudo-classes is significant as it is a descendant
combinator. "E :pseudo" should parse the same as "E *:pseudo", not "E:pseudo".
* lxml.html.diff no longer raises an exception when hitting 'img' tags without 'src' attribute.
- Changes from version 2.3.2:
* lxml.objectify.deannotate() has a new boolean option cleanup_namespaces to
remove the objectify namespace declarations (and generally clean up the
namespace declarations) after removing the type annotations.
* lxml.objectify gained its own SubElement() function as a copy of
etree.SubElement to avoid an otherwise redundant import of lxml.etree on the user side.
* Fixed the "descendant" bug in cssselect a second time
* Fixed parsing of some selectors in cssselect.
- Changes from version 2.3.1:
* New option kill_tags in lxml.html.clean to remove specific tags and their
content (i.e. their whole subtree).
* pi.get() and pi.attrib on processing instructions to parse
pseudo-attributes from the text content of processing instructions.
* lxml.get_include() returns a list of include paths that can be used to
compile external C code against lxml.etree.
* Resolver.resolve_file() takes an additional option close_file that
configures if the file(-like) object will be closed after reading or not.
* HTML cleaning didn't remove 'data:' links.
* The html5lib parser integration now uses the 'official' implementation in
html5lib itself, which makes it work with newer releases of the library.
* In lxml.sax, endElementNS() could incorrectly reject a plain tag name when
the corresponding start event inferred the same plain tag name to be in the default namespace.
* When an open file-like object is passed into parse() or iterparse(), the
parser will no longer close it after use.
* Assertion error in lxml.html.cleaner when discarding top-level elements.
* In lxml.cssselect, use the xpath 'A//B' (short for
'A/descendant-or-self::node()/B') instead of 'A/descendant::B' for the css
descendant selector ('A B').
* In lxml.html, non-selected
