[lxml-dev] lxml 2.0.3 released

[Stefan Behnel]

Hi all,

lxml 2.0.3 is on PyPI. This is a bugfix release for the stable 2.0 series.

Changelog follows below.

Have fun,
Stefan


2.0.3 (2008-03-26)

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.
