[CHANGES THAT COULD BREAK YOUR CODE]
Previously, html_ok() would not check the entire structure of a web
page to check for <html>, <head>, <title> and <body> tags. Now it
will. If you want to check fragments of HTML for validity but know
that they are not valid HTML documents on their own, use the new
html_fragment_ok().
[ENHANCEMENTS]
Added new error, elem-input-alt-missing, that warns of <input
type="image"> tags that are missing an alt="" attribute. This helps
for accessability to make sure that any images have alternate text
for screen readers.
Added ability to modify HTML::Lint's table of known tags and
attributes, so you could do this:
# Add an attribute that your company uses.
HTML::Lint::HTML4::add_attribute( 'body', 'proprietary-attribute' );
# Add the HTML 5 <canvas> tag.
HTML::Lint::HTML4::add_tag( 'canvas' );
HTML::Lint::HTML4::add_attribute( 'canvas', $_ ) for qw( height width );
[FIXES]
Test::HTML::Lint::html_ok() would not call the HTML::Lint eof()
method, which meant it wouldn't do document-wide tests.
2.20 Fri Apr 6 00:49:51 CDT 2012
[ENHANCEMENTS]
Sometimes creating HTML::Lint-compliant HTML just isn't possible.
Now, you can now turn individual errors on and off in your HTML
via comment directives, like so:
<!-- html-lint elem-img-sizes-missing: off, attr-unknown: off -->
And if you have a batch of code that's hopeless:
<!-- html-lint all: off -->
Added check for unknown entities, such as "&foo;".
Added check for unclosed entitities, such as "&" without the
closing semicolon.
Added a check for a bare ampersand that should be written as &
2.10 Tue Dec 6 11:16:16 CST 2011
[FIXES]
Tags that were self-closed were being ignored. For example, if you had
<img src="blah.jpg" />
then HTML::Lint would ignore the tag. This has been fixed.
[LICENSE]
HTML::Lint is now explicitly licensed under Artistic License 2.0,
instead of the vague "same terms as Perl itself."
2.06 Thu Dec 18 00:07:54 CST 2008
[FIXES]
Added attributes to <frameset>.
<strong> tag didn't allow any attributes. Now it does.
Removed the <listing> tag.
2.04 Mon Jun 2 11:41:16 CDT 2008
[FIXES]
<textarea> now knows about the wrap attribute.
[INTERNALS]
Lots of enhancements pointed out by Perl::Critic.
2.02 Thu Nov 3 11:49:18 CST 2005
[ENHANCEMENTS]
* The warnings for missing ALT and HEIGHT/WIDTH on your images
now give the SRC attribute.
2.00 Tue Sep 20 23:10:39 CDT 2005
[CHANGES THAT COULD BREAK YOUR CODE]
* I've changed the object structure. HTML::Lint now has-a
HTML::Parser, and no longer is-a HTML::Parser.
* weblint-cgi and weblint-original are no longer distributed
with HTML::Lint.
* Now requires Perl 5.6.0.
[FIXES]
* Line numbering is now correct if you parse more than one file.
* Changed t/*.*.t so that they only had one period in the
filename. Apparently VMS doesn't like filenames with multiple
dots.
Pre-2.00
I've thrown away previous history because really, nobody cares
what changed in this module prior to 2005.
