[lxml-dev] lxml 2.2.2 released

[Stefan Behnel]

Hi all,

I just released lxml 2.2.2 to PyPI. This is (mainly) a bug fix release that
contains a fix for a potential tree corruption in namespace handling during
tree manipulations. Since this can be triggered by input data (depending on
your code), you might want to upgrade if you do not control your input.

Changelog follows below, as usual.

2.2.2 (2009-06-21)
Features added

    * New helper functions strip_attributes(), strip_elements(),
      strip_tags() in lxml.etree to remove attributes/subtrees/tags
      from a subtree.

Bugs fixed

    * Namespace cleanup on subtree insertions could result in missing
      namespace declarations (and potentially crashes) if the element
      defining a namespace was deleted and the namespace was not used
      by the top element of the inserted subtree but only in deeper
      subtrees.
    * Raising an exception from a parser target callback didn't always
      terminate the parser.
    * Only {true, false, 1, 0} are accepted as the lexical representation
      for BoolElement ({True, False, T, F, t, f} not any more), restoring
      lxml <= 2.0 behaviour.
