1999-11-26 Gisle Aas <gisle@aas.no>
Release 2.99_14
Documentation update by Michael A. Chase.
Fix for declaration parsing by Michael A. Chase.
Workaround for perl5.004_05 bug. Can't return &PL_sv_undef.
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.
1999-11-17 Gisle Aas <gisle@aas.no>
Release 2.99_11
Don't leak $@ modifications from HTML::Parser constructor.
Included HTML::Parser POD.
Marked sections almost work. CDATA and RCDATA should work.
For tags that take us into literal_mode; <script>, <style>,
<xmp>, we did not recognize the end tag unless it was written
in all lower case.
1999-11-16 Gisle Aas <gisle@aas.no>
Release 2.99_10
The mkhctype and mkpfunc scripts were using \z inside RE. This
did not work for perl5.004. Replaced them with plain old
dollar signs.
1999-11-15 Gisle Aas <gisle@aas.no>
Release 2.99_09
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.
1999-11-10 Gisle Aas <gisle@aas.no>
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.
1999-11-09 Gisle Aas <gisle@aas.no>
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.
1999-11-05 Gisle Aas <gisle@aas.no>
Release 2.99_05
The previous release did not even compile. I forgot to try 'make test'
before uploading.
1999-11-05 Gisle Aas <gisle@aas.no>
Release 2.99_04
Generalized <XMP>-support to cover all literal parsing. Currently
activated for <script>, <style>, <xmp> and <plaintext>.
1999-11-05 Gisle Aas <gisle@aas.no>
Release 2.99_03
<XMP>-support.
Allow ":" in tag and attribute names
Include rest of the HTML::* files from the old HTML::Parser
package. This should make testing easier.
1999-11-04 Gisle Aas <gisle@aas.no>
Release 2.99_02
Implemented keep_case() option. If this attribute is true, then
we don't lowercase tag and attribute names.
Implemented accum() that takes an array reference. Tokens are
pushed onto this array instead of sent to callbacks.
Implemented strict_comment().
1999-11-03 Gisle Aas <gisle@aas.no>
Release 2.99_01
Baseline of XS implementation
1999-11-05 Gisle Aas <gisle@aas.no>
Release 2.25
Allow ":" in attribute names as a workaround for Microsoft Excel
2000 which generates such files.
Make deprecate warning if netscape_buggy_comment() method is
used. The method is used in strict_comment().
Avoid duplication of parse_file() method in HTML::HeadParser.
1999-10-29 Gisle Aas <gisle@aas.no>
Release 2.24
$p->parse_file() will not close a handle passed to it any more.
If passed a filename that can't be opened it will return undef
instead of raising an exception, and strings like "*STDIN" are not
treated as globs any more.
HTML::LinkExtor knowns about background attribute of <tables>.
Patch by Clinton Wong <clintdw@netcom.com>
HTML::TokeParser will parse large inline strings much faster now.
The string holding the document must not be changed during parsing.
1999-06-09 Gisle Aas <gisle@aas.no>
Release 2.23
Documentation updates.
1998-12-18 Gisle Aas <aas@sn.no>
Release 2.22
Protect HTML::HeadParser from evil $SIG{__DIE__} hooks.
1998-11-13 Gisle Aas <aas@sn.no>
Release 2.21
HTML::TokeParser can now parse strings directly and does the
right thing if you pass it a GLOB. Based on patch by
Sami Itkonen <si@iki.fi>.
HTML::Parser now allows space before and after "--" in Netscape
comments. Patch by Peter Orbaek <poe@daimi.au.dk>.
1998-07-08 Gisle Aas <aas@sn.no>
Release 2.20
Added HTML::TokeParser. Check it out!
1998-07-07 Gisle Aas <aas@sn.no>
Release 2.19
Don't end a text chunk with space when we try to avoid breaking up
words.
1998-06-22 Gisle Aas <aas@sn.no>
Release 2.18
HTML::HeadParser->parse_file will now stop parsing when the
<body> starts as it should.
HTML::LinkExtor more easily subclassable by introducing the
$self->_found_link method.
1998-04-28 Gisle Aas <aas@sn.no>
Release 2.17
Never split words (a sequence of non-space) between two invocations
of $self->text. This is just a simplification of the code that tried
not to break entities.
HTML::Parser->parse_file now use smaller chunks as already
suggested by the HTML::Parser documentation.
1998-04-02 Gisle Aas <aas@sn.no>
Release 2.16
The HTML::Parser could some times break hex entites (like )
in the middle.
Removed remaining forced dependencies on libwww-perl modules. It
means that all tests should now pass, even if libwww-perl was not
installed previously.
More tests.
1998-04-01 Gisle Aas <aas@sn.no>
Release 2.14, HTML::* modules unbundled from libwww-perl-5.22.
