v1.6.8.1 Changes
October 03, 2016Dependency License Notes
โ Removes required dependency on the
pkg-config
gem. This dependency was introduced in v1.6.8 and, because it's distributed under LGPL, was objectionable to many Nokogiri users (#1488, #1496).This version makes
pkg-config
an optional dependency. If it's installed, it's used; but otherwise Nokogiri will attempt to work around its absence. -
