Nokogiri 1.5.5 Released

Ruby
1

Nokogiri version 1.5.5 has been released, continuing the tradition of
achieving Nokogiri milestones in time for GoRuCo.

This version of Nokogiri is a bugfix release, with vastly improved
JRuby “1.9 mode” support, thanks to the efforts of John Shahid and
Yoko H…

You may also have noticed that Team Nokogiri has been rechristened
“Sparklemotion”, and the repository has been moved under a Github
Organization of the same name. Same code, same people, new name.

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.
