Hi,

lxml 2.1.2 and 2.0.9 are on PyPI. Both are bug-fix releases for the stable and
mature release series. They mainly fix a thread-related memory problem that
was introduced in the last releases of both branches. Updating is recommended.

The complete changelog follows below.

Have fun,
Stefan



2.0.9 (2008-09-05)
Bugs fixed

    * Memory problem when passing documents between threads.
    * Target parser did not honour the recover option and raised an exception
      instead of calling .close() on the target.


2.1.2 (2008-09-05)
Features added

    * lxml.etree now tries to find the absolute path name of files when
      parsing from a file-like object. This helps custom resolvers when
      resolving relative URLs, as lixbml2 can prepend them with the path of
      the source document.

Bugs fixed

    * Memory problem when passing documents between threads.
    * Target parser did not honour the recover option and raised an exception
