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]
