Hi all,

I’m one of the three new maintainers for Hpricot (along with Ola B.  
and Emanuel Carnevale), and I’ve just pushed out a new 0.8.2 release  
last night. You can get the gem in the normal fashion via RubyGems  
(gem install hpricot).

Changelog:

= 0.8.2  
=== 5 November, 2009

- Bring JRuby support up to speed, including Java-based hpricot\_css  
support
- Change JRuby fast\_xs to have same escaping behavior as C fast\_xs
- fix for issue #2, downcasing of html attributes inside the parser.
- solve issue #3 with bogus etags being preserved in `to_s` rather  
than just `to_original_html`.
- fix error when attempting to reparent cleared node. (issue #5)
- Hpricot::Attributes proxy object for using `ele.attributes[k] = v`  
directly.  
however, it is preferred to use the jquery-like `elements.attr(k, v)`.

= 0.8.1 fixes (for posterity, not previously in the 0.8.1 changelog)  
=== 3 April, 2009

- big problems on Ruby 1.8.6, use INT2FIX instead of INT2NUM. hashes  
were being cast to bignums.
- patch for 1.8.5 to define RARRAY\_PTR. thanks, mike perham!
- inspecting empty document bug, courtesy of @TalLevAmi.

Hello Nick,

Before I forget again, I posted about it here when \_why first  
disappeared, but I’ve had some improvements to the C fast\_xs  
module that have been alluding mainline Hpricot for a while:

In the future, feel free to email me if you have any questions  
about the C fast\_xs
