nokogiri version 1.4.2 has been released! - [http://nokogiri.org](http://nokogiri.org) - [http://github.com/tenderlove/nokogiri/wikis](http://github.com/tenderlove/nokogiri/wikis) - [http://github.com/tenderlove/nokogiri/tree/master](http://github.com/tenderlove/nokogiri/tree/master) - [http://groups.google.com/group/nokogiri-talk](http://groups.google.com/group/nokogiri-talk) - [http://github.com/tenderlove/nokogiri/issues](http://github.com/tenderlove/nokogiri/issues) 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.

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 🙂 ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Aaron P.

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.
