    ➕ Added

    • ➕ Add cross building of fat binary gems for 64-Bit Windows (x64-mingw32) and add support for native builds on Windows. #864, #989, #1072
    • 🏁 (MRI) Alias CP932 to Windows-31J if iconv does not support Windows-31J.

    • ➕ Add support for an-b in nth selectors. #886 (Thanks, Magnus Bergmark!)
    • ➕ Add support for bare and multiple :not() functions in selectors. #887 (Thanks, Magnus Bergmark!)

    • Nokogiri::HTML::Document#title= and #meta_encoding= now always add an element if not present, trying hard to find the best place to put it.
