2021-12-21Corrected typo.Leonard Richardson
2021-12-21Standardized the wording of the MarkupResemblesLocatorWarningLeonard Richardson
warnings to to make them less judgemental about what you ought to be doing. [bug=1955450]
2021-12-21Fixed typo in documentation spotted by a reader.Leonard Richardson
2021-12-21I guess that's not a method.Leonard Richardson
2021-12-21It's now possible to customize the way output is indented byLeonard Richardson
providing a value for the 'indent' argument to the Formatter constructor. The 'indent' argument works very similarly to the argument of the same name in the Python standard library's json.dump() method. [bug=1955497]
2021-12-19Remove a huge list of HTML entities that was only necessary under Python 2.Leonard Richardson
2021-12-19Removed support for the iconv_codec library, which doesn't seemLeonard Richardson
to exist anymore and was never put up on PyPI. (The closest replacement on PyPI, iconv_codecs, is GPL-licensed, so we can't use it.)
2021-12-19If the charset-normalizer Python moduleLeonard Richardson
(https://pypi.org/project/charset-normalizer/) is installed, Beautiful Soup will use it to detect the character sets of incoming documents. This is also the module used by newer versions of the Requests library. For the sake of backwards compatibility, chardet and cchardet both take precedence if installed. [bug=1955346]
2021-12-17Fix a crash when pickling a BeautifulSoup object that has noLeonard Richardson
tree builder. [bug=1934003]
2021-11-29Do a better job of keeping track of namespaces as an XML document isLeonard Richardson
parsed, so that CSS selectors that use namespaces will do the right thing more often. [bug=1946243]
2021-10-24Added test of warn_if_markup_looks_like_xml.Leonard Richardson
2021-10-24Issue a warning when an HTML parser is used to parse a document thatLeonard Richardson
looks like XML but not XHTML. [bug=1939121]
2021-10-24Used a warning to formally deprecate the 'text' argument in favor of 'string'.Leonard Richardson
2021-10-23Changing find* tests to use string instead of text, except for one test that ↵Leonard Richardson
specifically checks that text is an alias for string.
2021-10-23Renamed the 'text' field to 'string' for real. Tests are not changed in this ↵Leonard Richardson
commit to demonstrate that the renaming doesn't break anything. [bug=1947038]
2021-10-23Added a workaround for an lxml bug ↵Leonard Richardson
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/lxml/+bug/1948551) that caused problems when parsing a Unicode string beginning with BYTE ORDER MARK. [bug=1947768]
2021-10-23Fixed a crash when overriding multi_valued_attributes and using theLeonard Richardson
html5lib parser. [bug=1948488]
2021-10-23Fix a Python 3-specific problem in diagnose.lxml_trace.Leonard Richardson
2021-10-11Removed redundant and nonworking argument from example code. [bug=1946243]Leonard Richardson
2021-10-11Added special string classes, RubyParenthesisString and RubyTextString,Leonard Richardson
to make it possible to treat ruby text specially in get_text() calls. [bug=1941980]

2021-09-07Goodbye, Python 2. [bug=1942919]Leonard Richardson
2021-06-01The 'replace_with()' method now takes a variable number of arguments,Leonard Richardson
and can be used to replace a single element with a sequence of elements. Patch by Bill Chandos.
2021-05-31The html.parser tree builder can now handles named entitiesLeonard Richardson
found in the HTML5 spec in much the same way that the html5lib tree builder does. Note that the lxml tree builder still handles named entities differently. [bug=1924908]
2021-04-08Brought in fuzz tests from the oss-project into Beautiful Soup's unit test ↵Leonard Richardson
suite.
2021-02-14NavigableString and its subclasses now implement the get_text()Leonard Richardson
method, as well as the properties .strings and .stripped_strings. These methods will either return the string itself, or nothing, so the only reason to use this is when iterating over a list of mixed Tag and NavigableString objects. [bug=1904309]
2021-02-14The 'html5' formatter now treats attributes whose values are theLeonard Richardson
empty string as HTML boolean attributes. Previously (and in other formatters), an attribute value must be set as None to be treated as a boolean attribute. In a future release, I plan to also give this behavior to the 'html' formatter. Patch by Isaac Muse. [bug=1915424]
2021-02-13The behavior of methods like .get_text() and .strings now differsLeonard Richardson
depending on the type of tag. The change is visible with HTML tags like <script>, <style>, and <template>. Starting in 4.9.0, methods like get_text() returned no results on such tags, because the contents of those tags are not considered 'text' within the document as a whole. But a user who calls script.get_text() is working from a different definition of 'text' than a user who calls div.get_text()--otherwise there would be no need to call script.get_text() at all. In 4.10.0, the contents of (e.g.) a <script> tag are considered 'text' during a get_text() call on the tag itself, but not considered 'text' during a get_text() call on the tag's parent. Because of this change, calling get_text() on each child of a tag may now return a different result than calling get_text() on the tag itself. That's because different tags now have different understandings of what counts as 'text'. [bug=1906226] [bug=1868861]
2021-02-13Corrected the use of special string container classes in cases when aLeonard Richardson
single tag may contain strings with different containers; such as the <template> tag, which may contain both TemplateString objects and Comment objects. [bug=1913406]
2021-02-13Added a second way to pass specify encodings to UnicodeDammit andLeonard Richardson
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]
2021-02-13Performance improvement when processing tags that speeds up overallLeonard Richardson
tree construction by 2%. Patch by Morotti. [bug=1899358]
2021-02-13Improve the warning issued when a directory name (as opposed toLeonard Richardson
the name of a regular file) is passed as markup into the BeautifulSoup constructor. [bug=1913628]
2021-02-13Corrected output when the namespace prefix associated with aLeonard Richardson
namespaced attribute is the empty string, as opposed to None. [bug=1915583]

2020-09-26Fixed a bug that inconsistently moved elements over when passingLeonard Richardson
a Tag, rather than a list, into Tag.extend(). [bug=1885710]
2020-09-26Change the signatures for BeautifulSoup.insert_before and insert_afterLeonard Richardson
(which are not implemented) to match PageElement.insert_before and insert_after, quieting warnings in some IDEs. [bug=1897120]
