2021-12-21Fixed typo in documentation spotted by a reader.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]
2021-12-19If 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]
2021-11-29Do 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]

2021-06-01The '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.
2021-04-08Brought 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]

2020-04-25Try to clarify the docs further that get_text now returns human-readable text.Leonard Richardson
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]
2020-04-07Added a notice about the new behavior of .text to the documentation.Leonard Richardson
2020-04-05Embedded CSS and Javascript is now stored in distinct Stylesheet andLeonard Richardson
