Thanks to + Geoffrey Sneddon for a patch and test. + +* Fixed yet another problem that caused the html5lib tree builder to + create a disconnected parse tree. [bug=1629825] + += 4.5.1 (20160802) = + +* Fixed a crash when passing Unicode markup that contained a + processing instruction into the lxml HTML parser on Python + 3. [bug=1608048] + += 4.5.0 (20160719) = + +* Beautiful Soup is no longer compatible with Python 2.6. This + actually happened a few releases ago, but it's now official. + +* Beautiful Soup will now work with versions of html5lib greater than + 0.99999999. [bug=1603299] + +* If a search against each individual value of a multi-valued + attribute fails, the search will be run one final time against the + complete attribute value considered as a single string. That is, if + a tag has class="foo bar" and neither "foo" nor "bar" matches, but + "foo bar" does, the tag is now considered a match. + + This happened in previous versions, but only when the value being + searched for was a string. Now it also works when that value is + a regular expression, a list of strings, etc. [bug=1476868] + +* Fixed a bug that deranged the tree when a whitespace element was + reparented into a tag that contained an identical whitespace + element. [bug=1505351] + +* Added support for CSS selector values that contain quoted spaces, + such as tag[style="display: foo"]. [bug=1540588] + +* Corrected handling of XML processing instructions. [bug=1504393] + +* Corrected an encoding error that happened when a BeautifulSoup + object was copied. [bug=1554439] + +* The contents of <textarea> tags will no longer be modified when the + tree is prettified. [bug=1555829] + +* When a BeautifulSoup object is pickled but its tree builder cannot + be pickled, its .builder attribute is set to None instead of being + destroyed. This avoids a performance problem once the object is + unpickled. [bug=1523629] + +* Specify the file and line number when warning about a + BeautifulSoup object being instantiated without a parser being + specified. [bug=1574647] + +* The `limit` argument to `select()` now works correctly, though it's + not implemented very efficiently. [bug=1520530] + +* Fixed a Python 3 ByteWarning when a URL was passed in as though it + were markup. Thanks to James Salter for a patch and + test. [bug=1533762] + +* We don't run the check for a filename passed in as markup if the + 'filename' contains a less-than character; the less-than character + indicates it's most likely a very small document.
