Nokogiri v1.4.2 Release Notes

Release Date: 2010-05-22 // almost 14 years ago

  • ➕ Added

    • 📜 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.

    🛠 Fixed

    • 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.
