Release 3.57
The <iframe> element content is now parsed in literal mode.
Parsing of <script> and <style> content ends on the first end tag
even when that tag was in a quoted string. That seems to be the

Release 3.55
Treat <> at the end of document as text. Used to be
reported as a comment.
Improved Firefox compatibility for bad HTML:
- Unclosed <script>, <style> are now treated as empty tags.

_______________________________________________________________________________
2006-04-28 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
Release 3.54
Yaakov Belch discovered yet another issue with <script> parsing.
Enabling of 'empty_element_tags' got the parser confused
if it found such a tag for elements that are normally parsed
in literal mode. Of these <script src="..."/> is the only
one likely to be found in documents.
<http://rt.cpan.org//Ticket/Display.html?id=18965>
_______________________________________________________________________________
2006-04-27 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
Release 3.53
When ignore_element was enabled it got confused if the
corresponding tags did not nest properly; the end tag
was treated it as if it was a start tag.
Found and fixed by Yaakov Belch <code@yaakovnet.net>.
<http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=18936>
_______________________________________________________________________________
2006-04-26 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
Release 3.52
Make sure the 'start_document' fires exactly once for
each document parsed. For earlier releases it did not
fire at all for empty documents and could fire multiple
times if parse was called with empty chunks.
Documentation tweaks and typo fixes.
_______________________________________________________________________________
2006-03-22 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
Release 3.51
Named entities outside the Latin-1 range are now only expanded
when properly terminated with ";". This makes HTML::Parser
compatible with Firefox/Konqueror/MSIE when it comes to how these
entities are expanded in attribute values. Firefox does expand
unterminated non-Latin-1 entities in plain text, so here
HTML::Parser only stays compatible with Konqueror/MSIE.
Fixes <http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=17962>.
Fixed some documentation typos spotted by <william@knowmad.com>.
<http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=18062>

2006-02-14 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
Release 3.50
The 3.49 release didn't compile with VC++ because it mixed code
and declarations. Fixed by Steve Hay <steve.hay@uk.radan.com>.
_______________________________________________________________________________
2006-02-08 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
Release 3.49
Events could sometimes still fire after a handler has signaled eof.
Marked_sections with text ending in square bracket parsed wrong.
Fix provided by <paul.bijnens@xplanation.com>.
<http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=16749>
_______________________________________________________________________________
2005-12-02 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
Release 3.48
Enabling empty_element_tags by default for HTML::TokeParser
was a mistake. Reverted that change.
<http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=16164>
When processing a document with "marked_sections => 1", the
skipped text missed the first 3 bytes "<![".
<http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=16207>
2005-11-22 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
Release 3.47
Added empty_element_tags and xml_pic configuration
options. These make it possible to enable these XML
features without enabling the full XML-mode.
The empty_element_tags is enabled by default for
HTML::TokeParser.
2005-10-24 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
Release 3.46
Don't try to treat an literal as space.
This breaks Unicode parsing.
<http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=15068>
The unbroken_text option is now on by default
for HTML::TokeParser.
HTML::Entities::encode will now encode "'" by default.

Norbert Kiesel <nkiesel@tbdnetworks.com>.
Test suite now use Test::More, by
Norbert Kiesel <nkiesel@tbdnetworks.com>.
Fix HTML::Entities typo spotted by
Stefan Funke <bundy@adm.arcor.net>.
Faster load time with XSLoader (perl-5.6 or better now required).
Fixed POD markup errors in some of the modules.
2005-01-06 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
Release 3.45
Fix stack memory leak caused by missing PUTBACK. Only
code that used $p->parse(\&cb) form was affected.
Fix provided by Gurusamy Sarathy <gsar@sophos.com>.
2004-12-28 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
Release 3.44
Fix confusion about nested quotes in <script> and <style> text.
2004-12-06 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
Release 3.43
The SvUTF8 flag was not propagated correctly when replacing
unterminated entities.
Fixed test failure because of missing binmode on Windows.
2004-12-04 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
Release 3.42
Avoid sv_catpvn_utf8_upgrade() as that macro was not
available in perl-5.8.0.
Patch by Reed Russell <Russell.Reed@acxiom.com>.
Add casts to suppress compilation warnings for char/U8
mismatches.
HTML::HeadParser will always push new header values.
This make sure we never loose old header values.
2004-11-30 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
Release 3.41
Fix unresolved symbol error with perl-5.005.
2004-11-29 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
Release 3.40
Make utf8_mode only available on perl-5.8 or better. It produced
garbage with older versions of perl.
Emit warning if entities are decoded and something in the first
chunk looks like hi-bit UTF-8. Previously this warning was only
triggered for documents with BOM.
2004-11-23 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
Release 3.39_92
More documentation of the Unicode issues. Moved around HTML::Parser
documentation a bit.
New boolean option; $p->utf8_mode to allow parsing of raw UTF-8.
Documented that HTML::Entities::decode_entities() can take multiple
arguments.
Unterminated entities are now decoded in text (compatibility
with MSIE misfeature).
Document HTML::Entities::_decode_entities(); this variation of the
decode_entities() function has been available for a long time, but
have not been documented until now.
HTML::Entities::_decode_entities() can now be told to try to
expand unterminated entities.
Simplified Makefile.PL
2004-11-23 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
Release 3.39_91
The HTML::HeadParser will skip Unicode BOM. Previously it
would consider the <head> section done when it saw the BOM.
The parser will look for Unicode BOM and give appropriate
warnings if the form found indicate trouble.
If no matching end tag is found for <script>, <style>, <xmp>
<title>, <textarea> then generate one where the next tag
starts.
For <script> and <style> recognize quoted strings and don't
consider end element if the corresponding end tag is found
inside such a string.
2004-11-17 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
Release 3.39_90
The <title> element is now parsed in literal mode, which
means that other tags are not recognized until </title> has
been seen.
Unicode support for perl-5.8 and better.
Decoding Unicode entities always enabled; no longer a compile
time option.
Propagation of UTF8 state on strings.
Patch contributed by John Gardiner Myers <jgmyers@proofpoint.com>.
Calculate offsets and lengths in chars for Unicode strings.
Fixed link typo in the HTML::TokeParser documentation.
2004-11-11 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
Release 3.38
New boolean option; $p->closing_plaintext
Contributed by Alex Kapranoff <alex@kapranoff.ru>
2004-11-10 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
Release 3.37
Improved handling of HTML encoded surrogate pairs and illegally
encoded Unicode; <http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=7785>.
Patch by John Gardiner Myers <jgmyers@proofpoint.com>.
Avoid generating bad UTF8 strings when decoding entities
representing chars beyond #255 in 8-bit strings. Such bad
UTF8 sometimes made perl-5.8.5 and older segfault.
Undocument v2 style subclassing in synopsis section.
Internal cleanup:
Make 'gcc -Wall' happier.
Avoid modification of PVs during parsing of attrspec.
Another patch by John Gardiner Myers.
2004-04-01 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
Release 3.36
Improved MSIE/Mozilla compatibility. If the same attribute
name repeats for a start tag, use the first value instead
of the last. Patch by Nick Duffek <html-parser@duffek.com>.
<http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=5472>
2003-12-12 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
Release 3.35
Documentation fixes by Paul Croome <Paul.Croome@softwareag.com>.
Removed redundant dSP.
2003-10-27 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
Release 3.34
Fix segfault that happened when the parse callback caused
the stack to get reallocated. The original bug report was
<http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=217616>
2003-10-14 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
Release 3.33
Perl 5.005 or better is now required. For some reason we get
a test failure with perl-5.004 and I don't really feel like
debugging that perl any more. Details about this failure can
be found at <http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=4065>.
New HTML::TokeParser method called 'get_phrase'. It returns
all current text while ignoring any phrase-level markup.
The HTML::TokeParser method 'get_text' now expands skipped
non-phrase-level tags as a single space.
2003-10-10 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
Release 3.32
If the document parsed ended with some kind of unterminated markup,
then the parser state was not reset properly and this piece of markup
would show up in the beginning of the next document parsed.
<http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=3954>
The get_text and get_trimmed_text methods of HTML::TokeParser can
now take multiple end tags as argument. Patch by <siegmann@tinbergen.nl>
at <http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=3166>.
Various documentation tweaks.
Included another example program: hdump
2003-08-19 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
Release 3.31
The -DDEBUGGING fix in 3.30 was not really there :-(
2003-08-17 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
Release 3.30
The previous release failed to compile on a -DDEBUGGING perl
like the one provided by Redhat 9.
Got rid of references to perl-5.7.
Further fixes to avoid warnings from Visual C.
Patch by Steve Hay <steve.hay@uk.radan.com>.
2003-08-14 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
Release 3.29
Setting xml_mode now implies strict_names also for end tags.
Avoid warning from Visual C. Patch by <gsar@activestate.com>.
64-bit fix from Doug Larrick <doug@ties.org>
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=195500
Try to parse similar to Mozilla/MSIE in certain edge cases.
All these are outside of the official definition of HTML but
HTML spam often tries to take advantage of these.
- New configuration attribute 'strict_end'. Unless enabled
we will allow end tags to contain extra words or stuff
that look like attributes before the '>'. This means that
tags like these:
</foo foo="<ignored>">
</foo ignored>
</foo ">" ignored>
are now all parsed as a 'foo' end tag instead of text.
Even if the extra stuff looks like attributes they will not
be reported if requested via the 'attr' or 'tokens' argspecs
for the 'end' handler.
- Parse '</:comment>' and '</ comment>' as comments unless
strict_comment is enabled. Previous versions of the parser
would report these as text. If these comments contain
quoted words prefixed by space or '=' these words can
contain '>' without terminating the comment.
- Parse '<! "<>" foo>' as comment containing ' "<>" foo'.
Previous versions of the parser would terminate the comment
at the first '>' and report the rest as text.
- Legacy comment mode: Parse with comments terminated with a
lone '>' if no '-->' is found before eof.
- Incomplete tag at eof is reported as a 'comment' instead
of 'text' unless strict_comment is enabled.
2003-04-16 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
Release 3.28
When 'strict_comment' is off (which it is by default)
treat anything that matches <!...> a comment.
Should now be more efficient on threaded perls.
2003-01-18 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
Release 3.27
Typo fixes to the documentation.
HTML::Entities::escape_entities_numeric contributed
by Sean M. Burke <sburke@cpan.org>.
Included one more example program 'hlc' that show
how to downcase all tags in an HTML file.
2002-03-17 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
Release 3.26
Avoid core dump in some cases where the callback croaks.
The perl_call_method and perl_call_sv needs G_EVAL flag
to be safe.
New parser attributes; 'attr_encoded' and 'case_sensitive'.
Contributed by Guy Albertelli II <guy@albertelli.com>.
HTML::Entities
- don't encode \r by default as suggested by Sean M. Burke.
HTML::HeadParser
- ignore empty http-equiv
- allow multiple <link> elements. Patch by
Timur I. Bakeyev <timur@gnu.org>
Avoid warnings from bleadperl on the uentities test.
2001-05-11 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
Release 3.25
Minor tweaks for build failures on perl5.004_04, perl-5.6.0,
and for macro clash under Windows.
Improved parsing of <plaintext>... :-)
2001-05-09 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
Release 3.24
$p->parse(CODE)
New events: start_document, end_document
New argspecs: skipped_text, offset_end
The offset/line/column counters was not properly reset
after eof.
2001-05-01 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
Release 3.23
If the $p->ignore_elements filter did not work as it should if
handlers for start/end events was not registered.
2001-04-17 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
Release 3.22
The <textarea> element is now parsed in literal mode, i.e. no other tags
recognized until the </textarea> tag is seen. Unlike other literal elements,
the text content is not 'cdata'.
The XML ' entity is decoded. It apos-char itself is still encoded as
' as ' is not really an HTML tag, and not recognized by many HTML
browsers.
2001-04-10 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
Release 3.21
Fix a memory leak which occurred when using filter methods.
Avoid a few compiler warnings (DEC C):
- Trailing comma found in enumerator list
- "unsigned char" is not compatible with "const char".
Doc update.
2001-04-02 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
Release 3.20
Some minor documentation updates.
2001-03-30 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
Release 3.19_94
Implemented 'tag', 'line', 'column' argspecs.
HTML::PullParser doc update.
eg/hform is an example of HTML::PullParser usage.
2001-03-27 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
Release 3.19_93
Shorten 'report_only_tags' to 'report_tags'.
I think it reads better.
Bleadperl portability fixes.
2001-03-25 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
Release 3.19_92
HTML::HeadParser made more efficient by using 'ignore_elements'.
HTML::LinkExtor made more efficient by using 'report_only_tags'.
HTML::TokeParser generalized into HTML::PullParser. HTML::PullParser
only support the get_token/unget_token interface of HTML::TokeParser,
but is more flexible because the information that make up an token
is customisable. HTML::TokeParser is made into an HTML::PullParser
subclass.
2001-03-19 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
Release 3.19_91
Array references can be passed to the filter methods. Makes it easier
to use them as constructor options.
Example programs updated to use filters.
Reset ignored_element state on EOF.
Documentation updates.
The netscape_buggy_comment() method now generates mandatory warning
about its deprecation.
2001-03-13 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
Release 3.19_90
This is an developer only release. It contains some new
experimental features. The interface to these might still change.
Implemented filters to reduce the numbers of callbacks generated:
- $p->ignore_tags()
- $p->report_only_tags()
- $p->ignore_elements()
New @attr argspec. Less overhead than 'attr' and allow
compatibility with XML::Parser style start events.
The whole argspec can be wrapped up in @{...} to signal
flattening. Only makes a difference when the target is an
array.
2001-03-09 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
Release 3.19
Avoid the entity2char global. That should make the module
more thread safe. Patch by Gurusamy Sarathy <gsar@ActiveState.com>.
2001-02-24 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>

Reindented some code.
2000-12-26 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
Release 3.15
HTML::TokeParser's get_tag() method now takes multiple
tags to match. Hopefully the documentation is also a bit clearer.
#define PERL_NO_GET_CONTEXT: Should speed up things for thread
enabled versions of perl.
Quote some more entities that also happens to be perl keywords.
This avoids warnings on perl-5.004.
Unicode entities only triggered for perl-5.7.0 or higher.
2000-12-03 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
Release 3.14
If a handler triggered by flushing text at eof called the
eof method then infinite recursion occurred. Fixed.
Bug discovered by Jonathan Stowe <gellyfish@gellyfish.com>.
Allow <!doctype ...> to be parsed as declaration.
2000-09-17 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>

Release 3.06
Multi-threading/MULTIPLICITY compilation fix.
Both Doug MacEachern <dougm@pobox.com> and
Matthias Urlichs <smurf@noris.net> provided a patch.
Avoid some "statement not reached" warnings from picky

Remove final commas in enums as ANSI C does not allow
them and some compilers actually care.
Patch by James Walden <jamesw@ichips.intel.com>
Added eg/htextsub example program.
2000-01-22 Gisle Aas <gisle@aas.no>
Release 3.05
Implemented $p->unbroken_text option
Don't parse content of certain HTML elements as CDATA when
xml_mode is enabled.
Offset was reported with wrong sign for text at end of chunk.
2000-01-15 Gisle Aas <gisle@aas.no>

Release 3.03
We did not get out of comment mode for comments ending with an
odd number of "-" before ">". Patch by la mouton <kero@3sheep.com>
Documentation patch by Michael.
1999-12-21 Gisle Aas <gisle@aas.no>
Release 3.02
Hide ~-magic IV-pointer to 'struct p_state' behind a reference.
This allow copying of the internal _hparser_xs_state element, and
will make HTML-Tree-0.61 work again.
Introduced $p->init() which might be useful for subclasses that
only want the initialization part of the constructor.
Filled out DIAGNOSTICS section of the HTML::Parser POD.
1999-12-19 Gisle Aas <gisle@aas.no>
Release 3.01
Rely on ~-magic instead of a DESTROY method to deallocate
the internal 'struct p_state'. This avoid memory leaks
when people simply wipe of the content of the object hash.
One of the assertion in hparser.c had opposite logic. This made
the parser fail when compiled with a -DDEBUGGING perl.
Don't assume any specific order of hash keys in the t/cases.t.
This test failed with some newer development releases of perl.
1999-12-14 Gisle Aas <gisle@aas.no>
Release 3.00
Documentation update (most of it from Michael)
Minor patch to eg/hstrip so that it use a "" handler
instead of &ignore.
Test suite patches from Michael
1999-12-13 Gisle Aas <gisle@aas.no>
Release 2.99_96
Patches from Michael:
- A handler of "" means that the event will be ignored.
More efficient than using 'sub {}' as handler.
- Don't use a perl hash for looking up argspec keywords.
- Documentation tweaks.
1999-12-09 Gisle Aas <gisle@aas.no>
Release 2.99_95 (this is a 3.00 candidate)
Fixed core dump when "<" was followed by an 8-bit character.
Spotted and test case provided by Doug MacEachern. Doug had
been running HTML-Parser-XS through more that 1 million urls that
had been downloaded via LWP.
Handlers can now invoke $p->eof to request the parsing to terminate.
HTML::HeadParser has been simplified by taking advantage of this.
Also added a title-extraction example that uses this.
Michael once again fixed my bad English in the HTML::Parser
documentation.
netscape_buggy_comment will carp instead of warn
updated TODO/README
Documented that HTML::Filter is depreciated.
Made backslash reserved in literal argspec strings.
Added several new test scripts.
1999-12-08 Gisle Aas <gisle@aas.no>
Release 2.99_94 (should almost be a 3.00 candidate)
Renamed 'cdata_flag' as 'is_cdata'.
Dropped support for wrapping callback handler and argspec
in an array and passing a reference to $p->handler. It
created ambiguities when you want to pass a array as
handler destination and not update argspec. The wrapping
for constructor arguments are unchanged.
Reworked the documentation after updates from Michael.
Simplified internal check_handler(). It should probably simply
be inlined in handler() again.
Added argspec 'length' and 'undef'
Fix statement-less label. Fix suggested by Matthew Langford
<langfml@Eng.Auburn.EDU>.
Added two more example programs: eg/hstrip and eg/htext.
Various minor patches from Michael.
1999-12-07 Gisle Aas <gisle@aas.no>
Release 2.99_93
Documentation update
$p->bool_attr_value renamed as $p->boolean_attribute_value
Internal renaming: attrspec --> argspec
Introduced internal 'enum argcode' in hparser.c
Added eg/hrefsub
1999-12-05 Gisle Aas <gisle@aas.no>
Release 2.99_92
More documentation patches from Michael
Renamed 'token1' as 'token0' as suggested by Michael
For artificial end tags we now report 'tokens', but not 'tokenpos'.
Boolean attribute values show up as (0, 0) in 'tokenpos' now.
If $p->bool_attr_value is set it will influence 'tokens'
Fix for core dump when parsing <a "> when $p->strict_names(0).
Based on fix by Michael.
Will av_extend() the tokens/tokenspos arrays.
New test suite script by Michael: t/attrspec.t
1999-12-04 Gisle Aas <gisle@aas.no>
Release 2.99_91
Implemented attrspec 'offset'
Documentation patch from Michael
Some more cleanup/updated TODO
1999-12-03 Gisle Aas <gisle@aas.no>
Release 2.99_90 (first beta for 3.00)
Using "realloc" as a parameter name in grow_tokens created
problems for some people. Fix by Paul Schinder <schinder@pobox.com>
Patch by Michael that makes array handler destinations really work.
Patch by Michael that make HTML::TokeParser use this. This gave a
a speedup of about 80%.
Patch by Michael that makes t/cases into a real test.
Small HTML::Parser documentation patch by Michael.
Renamed attrspec 'origtext' to 'text' and 'decoded_text' to 'dtext'
Split up Parser.xs. Moved stuff into hparser.c and util.c
Dropped html_ prefix from internal parser functions.
Renamed internal function html_handle() as report_event().
1999-12-02 Gisle Aas <gisle@aas.no>
Release 2.99_17
HTML::Parser documentation patch from Michael.
Fix memory leaks in html_handler()
Patch that makes an array legal as handler destination.
Also from Michael.
The end of marked sections does not eat successive newline
any more.
The artificial end event for empty tag in xml_mode did not
report an empty origtext.
New constructor option: 'api_version'
1999-12-01 Gisle Aas <gisle@aas.no>
Release 2.99_16
Support "event" in argspec. It expands to the name of the
handler (minus "default").
Fix core dump for large start tags. The tokens_grow() routine
needed an adjustment. Added test for this; t/largstags.t.
1999-11-30 Gisle Aas <gisle@aas.no>
Release 2.99_15
Major restructuring/simplification of callback interface based on
initial work by Michael. The main news is that you now need to
tell what arguments you want to be provided to your callbacks.
The following parser options has been eliminated:
$p->decode_text_entities
$p->keep_case
$p->v2_compat
$p->pass_self
$p->attr_pos
1999-11-26 Gisle Aas <gisle@aas.no>
Release 2.99_14
Documentation update by Michael A. Chase.
Fix for declaration parsing by Michael A. Chase.
Workaround for perl5.004_05 bug. Can't return &PL_sv_undef.
1999-11-22 Gisle Aas <gisle@aas.no>
Release 2.99_13
New Parser.pm POD based on initial work by Michael A. Chase.
All new features should now be described.
$p->callback(start => undef) will not reset the callback.
$p->xml_mode() did not parse attributes correct because
HCTYPE_NOT_SPACE_EQ_SLASH_GT flag was never set.
A few more tests.
1999-11-18 Gisle Aas <gisle@aas.no>
Release 2.99_12
Implemented $p->attr_pos attribute. This causes attr positions
within $origtext of the start tag to be reported instead of the
attribute values. The positions are reported as 4 numbers; end of
previous attr, start of this attr, start of attr value, and end of
attr. This should make substr() manipulations of $origtext easy.
Implemented $p->unbroken_text attribute. This makes sure that
text segments are never broken and given back as separate text
callbacks. It delays text callbacks until some other markup
has been recognized.
More English corrections by Michael A. Chase.
HTML::LinkExtor now recognizes even more URI attributes as
suggested by Sean M. Burke <sburke@netadventure.net>
Completed marked sections support. It is also now a compile
time decision if you want this supported or not. The only
drawback of enabling it should be a possible parsing speed
reduction. I have not measured this yet.
The keys for callbacks initialized in the constructor are now
suffixed with "_cb".
Renamed $p->pass_cbdata to $p->pass_self.
Added magic number to the p_state struct.
1999-11-17 Gisle Aas <gisle@aas.no>
Release 2.99_11
Don't leak $@ modifications from HTML::Parser constructor.
Included HTML::Parser POD.
Marked sections almost work. CDATA and RCDATA should work.
For tags that take us into literal_mode; <script>, <style>,
<xmp>, we did not recognize the end tag unless it was written
in all lower case.
1999-11-16 Gisle Aas <gisle@aas.no>
Release 2.99_10
The mkhctype and mkpfunc scripts were using \z inside RE. This
did not work for perl5.004. Replaced them with plain old
dollar signs.
1999-11-15 Gisle Aas <gisle@aas.no>
Release 2.99_09
Grammar fixes by Michael A. Chase <mchase@ix.netcom.com>
Some more test suite patches for Win32 by Michael A. Chase
<mchase@ix.netcom.com>
Implemented $p->strict_names attribute. By default we now
allow almost anything in tag and attribute names. This is much
closer to the behaviour of some popular browsers. This allows us
to parse broken tags like this example from the LWP mailing list:
<IMG ALIGN=MIDDLE SRC=newprevlstGr.gif ALT=[PREV LIST] BORDER=0>
Introduced some tables in "hctype.h" and "pfunc.h". These
are built by the corresponding "mk..." script.
1999-11-10 Gisle Aas <gisle@aas.no>
Release 2.99_08
Make Parser.xs compile on perl5.004_05 too.
New callback called 'default'. This will be called for any
document text no other callback shows an interest in.
Patch by Michael A. Chase <mchase@ix.netcom.com> that should
help clean up files for the test suite on Win32.
Can now set up various attributes with key/value pairs passed to
the constructor.
$p->parse_file() will open the file in binmode()
Pass complete processing instruction tag as second argument
to process callback.
New boolean attribute v2_compat. This influences how attributes
are reported for start tags.
HTML::Filter now filters process instructions too.
Faster HTML::LinkExtor by taking advantage of the new
callback interface. The module now also uses URI.pm (instead
of the old URI::URL) to absolutize URIs.
Faster HTML::TokeParser by taking advantage of new
accum interface.
1999-11-09 Gisle Aas <gisle@aas.no>
Release 2.99_07
Entities in attribute values are now always expanded.
If you set the $p->decode_text_entities to a true value, then
you don't have to decode the text yourself.
In xml_mode we don't report empty element tags as a start tag
with an extra parameter any more. Instead we generate an artificial
end tag.
'xml_mode' now implies 'keep_case'.
The parser now keeps its own copy of the bool_attr_value value.
Avoid memory leak for text callbacks
Avoid using ERROR as a goto label.
Introduced common internal accessor function for all boolean parser
attributes.
Tweaks to make Parser.xs compile under perl5.004.
1999-11-08 Gisle Aas <gisle@aas.no>
Release 2.99_06
Internal fast decode_entities(). By using it we are able to make
the HTML::Entities::decode function 6 times faster than the old one
implemented in pure Perl.
$p->bool_attr_value() can be set to influence the value that
boolean attributes will be assigned. The default is to assign
a value identical to the attribute name.
Process instructions are reported as "PI" in @accum
$p->xml_mode(1) modifies how processing instructions are terminated
and allows "/>" at the end of start tags.
Turn off optimizations when compiling with gcc on Solaris. Avoids
what we believe to be a compiler bug. Should probably figure out
which versions of gcc have this bug.
1999-11-05 Gisle Aas <gisle@aas.no>
Release 2.99_05
The previous release did not even compile. I forgot to try 'make test'
before uploading.
1999-11-05 Gisle Aas <gisle@aas.no>
Release 2.99_04
Generalized <XMP>-support to cover all literal parsing. Currently
activated for <script>, <style>, <xmp> and <plaintext>.
1999-11-05 Gisle Aas <gisle@aas.no>
Release 2.99_03
<XMP>-support.
Allow ":" in tag and attribute names
Include rest of the HTML::* files from the old HTML::Parser
package. This should make testing easier.
1999-11-04 Gisle Aas <gisle@aas.no>
Release 2.99_02
Implemented keep_case() option. If this attribute is true, then
we don't lowercase tag and attribute names.
Implemented accum() that takes an array reference. Tokens are
pushed onto this array instead of sent to callbacks.
Implemented strict_comment().
1999-11-03 Gisle Aas <gisle@aas.no>
Release 2.99_01
Baseline of XS implementation
1999-11-05 Gisle Aas <gisle@aas.no>
Release 2.25
Allow ":" in attribute names as a workaround for Microsoft Excel
2000 which generates such files.
Make deprecate warning if netscape_buggy_comment() method is
used. The method is used in strict_comment().
Avoid duplication of parse_file() method in HTML::HeadParser.
1999-10-29 Gisle Aas <gisle@aas.no>
Release 2.24
$p->parse_file() will not close a handle passed to it any more.
If passed a filename that can't be opened it will return undef
instead of raising an exception, and strings like "*STDIN" are not
treated as globs any more.
HTML::LinkExtor knows about background attribute of <tables>.
Patch by Clinton Wong <clintdw@netcom.com>
HTML::TokeParser will parse large inline strings much faster now.
The string holding the document must not be changed during parsing.
1999-06-09 Gisle Aas <gisle@aas.no>
Release 2.23
Documentation updates.
1998-12-18 Gisle Aas <aas@sn.no>
Release 2.22
Protect HTML::HeadParser from evil $SIG{__DIE__} hooks.
1998-11-13 Gisle Aas <aas@sn.no>
Release 2.21
HTML::TokeParser can now parse strings directly and does the
right thing if you pass it a GLOB. Based on patch by
Sami Itkonen <si@iki.fi>.
HTML::Parser now allows space before and after "--" in Netscape
comments. Patch by Peter Orbaek <poe@daimi.au.dk>.
1998-07-08 Gisle Aas <aas@sn.no>
Release 2.20
Added HTML::TokeParser. Check it out!
1998-07-07 Gisle Aas <aas@sn.no>
Release 2.19
Don't end a text chunk with space when we try to avoid breaking up
words.
1998-06-22 Gisle Aas <aas@sn.no>
Release 2.18
HTML::HeadParser->parse_file will now stop parsing when the
<body> starts as it should.
HTML::LinkExtor more easily subclassable by introducing the
$self->_found_link method.
1998-04-28 Gisle Aas <aas@sn.no>
Release 2.17
Never split words (a sequence of non-space) between two invocations
of $self->text. This is just a simplification of the code that tried
not to break entities.
HTML::Parser->parse_file now use smaller chunks as already
suggested by the HTML::Parser documentation.
1998-04-02 Gisle Aas <aas@sn.no>
Release 2.16
The HTML::Parser could some times break hex entities (like )
in the middle.
Removed remaining forced dependencies on libwww-perl modules. It
means that all tests should now pass, even if libwww-perl was not
installed previously.
More tests.
1998-04-01 Gisle Aas <aas@sn.no>
Release 2.14, HTML::* modules unbundled from libwww-perl-5.22.
