- Update to 4.2.0
* The Tag.select() method now supports a much wider variety of CSS
selectors.
- Added support for the adjacent sibling combinator (+) and the
general sibling combinator (~). Tests by "liquider". [bug=1082144]
- The combinators (>, +, and ~) can now combine with any supported
selector, not just one that selects based on tag name.
- Added limited support for the "nth-of-type" pseudo-class. Code
by Sven Slootweg. [bug=1109952]
* The BeautifulSoup class is now aliased to "_s" and "_soup", making
it quicker to type the import statement in an interactive session
The alias may change in the future, so don't use this in code you're
going to run more than once.
* Added the 'diagnose' submodule, which includes several useful
functions for reporting problems and doing tech support.
- diagnose(data) tries the given markup on every installed parser,
reporting exceptions and displaying successes. If a parser is not
installed, diagnose() mentions this fact.
- lxml_trace(data, html=True) runs the given markup through lxml's
XML parser or HTML parser, and prints out the parser events as
they happen. This helps you quickly determine whether a given
problem occurs in lxml code or Beautiful Soup code.
- htmlparser_trace(data) is the same thing, but for Python's
built-in HTMLParser class.
* In an HTML document, the contents of a <script> or <style> tag will
no longer undergo entity substitution by default. XML documents work
the same way they did before. [bug=1085953]
* Methods like get_text() and properties like .strings now only give
you strings that are visible in the document--no comments or
processing commands. [bug=1050164]
* The prettify() method now leaves the contents of <pre> tags
alone. [bug=1095654]
* Fix a bug in the html5lib treebuilder which sometimes created
disconnected trees. [bug=1039527]
* Fix a bug in the lxml treebuilder which crashed when a tag included
an attribute from the predefined "xml:" namespace. [bug=1065617]
* Fix a bug by which keyword arguments to find_parent() were not
being passed on. [bug=1126734]
* Stop a crash when unwisely messing with a tag that's been
decomposed. [bug=1097699]
* Now that lxml's segfault on invalid doctype has been fixed, fixed a
corresponding problem on the Beautiful Soup end that was previously
invisible. [bug=984936]
* Fixed an exception when an overspecified CSS selector didn't match
anything. Code by Stefaan Lippens. [bug=1168167]
