+
+2006-07-10 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
+
+ Release 3.55
+
+ Treat <> at the end of document as text. Used to be
+ reported as a comment.
+
+ Improved Firefox compatiblity for bad HTML:
+ - Unclosed <script>, <style> are now treated as empty tags.
+ - Unclosed <textarea>, <xmp> and <plaintext> treat rest as text.
+ - Unclosed <title> closes at next tag.
+
+ Make <!a'b> a comment by itself.

+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>.

+
+ 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

+
+
+
+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 "<![".

+
+
+
+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.
+
+ Improved report/ignore_tags documentation by

+
+ 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>

+ 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.

+
+ 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 hibit 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.

+
+ Release 3.37
+
+ Improved handling of HTML encoded surrogate pairs and illegally
+ endoded 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.

+
+2004-04-01 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>

+2003-10-27 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
+
+ Release 3.34

+ <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

+
+ 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.

+
+
+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>
+

+
+
+
+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)
+

+
+ The offset/line/column counters was not properly reset
+ after eof.
+
+
+
+2001-05-01 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
+
+ Release 3.23

+
+
+
+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 occured when using filter methods.

+
+ 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.

+2001-03-13 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
+
+ Release 3.19_90
+

+ 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>

+
+ 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.

+
+ 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.

+
+
+1999-12-13 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.

+
+ 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.

+ 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).

+
+ 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

+ Also from Michael.
+
+ The end of marked sections does not eat successive newline

+
+ 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

+
+
+
+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.

+ 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.

+
+ 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 do URI-absolutations.
+
+ Faster HTML::TokeParser by taking advantage of new
+ accum interface.
+

+ 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.
