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]

2020-04-24If you encode a document with a Python-specific encoding likeLeonard Richardson
'unicode_escape', that encoding is no longer mentioned in the final XML or HTML document. Instead, encoding information is omitted or left blank. [bug=1874955]
2020-04-05Embedded CSS and Javascript is now stored in distinct Stylesheet andLeonard Richardson
Script tags, which are ignored by methods like get_text(). This feature is not supported by the html5lib treebuilder. [bug=1868861]

2019-11-10Fix deprecation warning with Python >= 3.7.Colin Watson
Python >= 3.7 issues a deprecation warning when using collections.Callable rather than collections.abc.Callable. Most of Beautiful Soup deals with this by using a conditional import, but the automatic Python 3 conversion apparently translates `callable(obj)` to `isinstance(obj, collections.Callable)` which trips this deprecation warning. `isinstance(obj, Callable)` works fine in Python 2 as well as 3, so just use it directly.
