Nokogiri 1.4.2 Released

Ruby

nokogiri version 1.4.2 has been released!

Nokogiri (鋸) is an HTML, XML, SAX, and Reader parser. Among Nokogiri’s
many features is the ability to search documents via XPath or CSS3
selectors.

XML is like violence - if it doesn’t solve your problems, you are not
using
enough of it.

Changes:

1.4.2 / 2010/05/22

  • New Features

    • XML::Node#parse will parse XML or HTML fragments with respect to the
      context node.
    • XML::Node#namespaces returns all namespaces defined in the node and
      all
      ancestor nodes
      (previously did not return ancestors’ namespace definitions).
    • Added Enumerable to XML::Node
    • Nokogiri::XML::Schema#validate now uses xmlSchemaValidateFile if a
      filename is passed, which is faster and more memory-efficient. GH
      #219
    • XML::Document#create_entity will create new EntityDecl objects. GH
      #174
    • JRuby FFI implementation no longer uses ObjectSpace._id2ref,
      instead using Charles Nutter’s rocking Weakling gem.
    • Nokogiri::XML::Node#first_element_child fetch the first child node
      that is
      an ELEMENT node.
    • Nokogiri::XML::Node#last_element_child fetch the last child node
      that is
      an ELEMENT node.
    • Nokogiri::XML::Node#elements fetch all children nodes that are
      ELEMENT
      nodes.
    • Nokogiri::XML::Node#add_child, #add_previous_sibling, #before,
      #add_next_sibling, #after, #inner_html, #swap and #replace all now
      accept a Node, DocumentFragment, NodeSet, or a string containing
      markup.
    • Node#fragment? indicates whether a node is a DocumentFragment.

  • Bugfixes

    • XML::NodeSet is now always decorated (if the document has
      decorators).
      GH #198
    • XML::NodeSet#slice gracefully handles offset+length larger than the
      set
      length. GH #200
    • XML::Node#content= safely unlinks previous content. GH #203
    • XML::Node#namespace= takes nil as a parameter
    • XML::Node#xpath returns things other than NodeSet objects. GH #208
    • XSLT::StyleSheet#transform accepts hashes for parameters. GH #223
    • Psuedo selectors inside not() work. GH #205
    • XML::Builder doesn’t break when nodes are unlinked.
      Thanks to vihai! GH #228
    • Encoding can be forced on the SAX parser. Thanks Eugene Pimenov! GH
      #204
    • XML::DocumentFragment uses XML::Node#parse to determine children.
    • Fixed a memory leak in xml reader. Thanks sdor! GH #244
    • Node#replace returns the new child node as claimed in the
      RDoc. Previously returned +self+.

  • Notes

    • The Windows gems now bundle DLLs for libxml 2.7.6 and libxslt
      1.1.26. Prior to this release, libxml 2.7.3 and libxslt 1.1.24
      were bundled.

FYI, a new Nokogiri that has some changes to work with JRuby 1.5.

Also of note, there’s a Nokogiri 1.5 beta that moves to the “pure
Java” version. You can install with gem install --pre nokogiri. Do
that and help the Java Nokogiri folks shake out remaining
functionality and perf issues :slight_smile:
