Changes for version 0.74

  • ->xpath() now returns the best result depending on the query. This result type depends on the Firefox XPath implementation. //p will return a list of nodes string-length(//p) will return a list of string lengths To force the old behaviour, you need to call ->xpath() with the following option:
    • $mech->xpath( $query, type => $mech->xpathResult('ORDERED_NODE_SNAPSHOT_TYPE') );
    • Implementation and tests contributed by dfaure again
  • ->xpathEx() returns more information about the type of each query result instead of returning the best guess
