Change Log ---------- 1.0b2 ~~~~~ Released on June 27, 2013 * Removed reordering of attributes within the serializer. There is now an ``alphabetical_attributes`` option which preserves the previous behaviour through a new filter. This allows attribute order to be preserved through html5lib if the tree builder preserves order. * Removed ``dom2sax`` from DOM treebuilders. It has been replaced by ``treeadapters.sax.to_sax`` which is generic and supports any treewalker; it also resolves all known bugs with ``dom2sax``. * Fix treewalker assertions on hitting bytes strings on Python 2. Previous to 1.0b1, treewalkers coped with mixed bytes/unicode data on Python 2; this reintroduces this prior behaviour on Python 2. Behaviour is unchanged on Python 3. 1.0b1 ~~~~~ Released on May 17, 2013 * Implementation updated to implement the `HTML specification `_ as of 5th May 2013 (`SVN `_ revision r7867). * Python 3.2+ supported in a single codebase using the ``six`` library. * Removed support for Python 2.5 and older. * Removed the deprecated Beautiful Soup 3 treebuilder. ``beautifulsoup4`` can use ``html5lib`` as a parser instead. Note that since it doesn't support namespaces, foreign content like SVG and MathML is parsed incorrectly. * Removed ``simpletree`` from the package. The default tree builder is now ``etree`` (using the ``xml.etree.cElementTree`` implementation if available, and ``xml.etree.ElementTree`` otherwise). * Removed the ``XHTMLSerializer`` as it never actually guaranteed its output was well-formed XML, and hence provided little of use. * Removed default DOM treebuilder, so ``html5lib.treebuilders.dom`` is no longer supported. ``html5lib.treebuilders.getTreeBuilder("dom")`` will return the default DOM treebuilder, which uses ``xml.dom.minidom``. * Optional heuristic character encoding detection now based on ``charade`` for Python 2.6 - 3.3 compatibility. * Optional ``Genshi`` treewalker support fixed. * Many bugfixes, including: * #33: null in attribute value breaks XML AttValue; * #4: nested, indirect descendant,
