@@ -7,6 +7,20 @@ * Performance improvement when processing tags that speeds up overall tree construction by 2%. Patch by Morotti. [bug=1899358] +* Added a second way to pass specify encodings to UnicodeDammit and + EncodingDetector, based on the order of precedence defined in the + HTML5 spec, starting at: + https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/parsing.html#parsing-with-a-known-character-encoding + + Encodings in 'known_definite_encodings' are tried first, then + byte-order-mark sniffing is run, then encodings in 'user_encodings' + are tried. The old argument, 'override_encodings', is now a + deprecated alias for 'known_definite_encodings'. + + This changes the default behavior of the html.parser and lxml tree + builders, in a way that may slightly improve encoding + detection but will probably have no effect. [bug=1889014] + * Improve the warning issued when a directory name (as opposed to the name of a regular file) is passed as markup into the BeautifulSoup constructor. [bug=1913628] |
