[lxml-dev] lxml 2.0beta2 on PyPI

[Stefan Behnel]

Hi,

I just released lxml 2.0beta2 to PyPI. This is the last beta before the final
release, which is to be expected on February 1st. So, last chance to find bugs. :)

Changelog follows, as usual.

Have fun,
Stefan


2.0beta2 (2008-01-25)
Features added

    * Plain ASCII XPath string results are no longer forced into unicode
      objects as in 2.0beta1, but are returned as plain strings as before.
    * All XPath string results are 'smart' objects that have a getparent()
      method to retrieve their parent Element.
    * with_tail option in serialiser functions.
    * More accurate exception messages in validator creation.

Bugs fixed

    * Missing import in lxml.html.clean.
    * Some Python 2.4-isms prevented lxml from building/running under Python
      2.3.

Other changes

    * Exceptions carry only the part of the error log that is related to the
      operation that caused the error.
    * XMLSchema() and RelaxNG() now enforce passing the source file/filename
      through the file keyyword argument.
    * The test suite now skips most doctests under Python 2.3.
    * make clean no longer removes the .c files (use make realclean instead)
