Log Message:
Update py-lxml to 2.3.2.

2.3.2 (2011-11-11)
==================

Features added
--------------

* ``lxml.objectify.deannotate()`` has a new boolean option
  ``cleanup_namespaces`` to remove the objectify namespace
  declarations (and generally clean up the namespace declarations)
  after removing the type annotations.

* ``lxml.objectify`` gained its own ``SubElement()`` function as a
  copy of ``etree.SubElement`` to avoid an otherwise redundant import
  of ``lxml.etree`` on the user side.

Bugs fixed
----------

* Fixed the "descendant" bug in cssselect a second time (after a first
  fix in lxml 2.3.1).  The previous change resulted in a serious
  performance regression for the XPath based evaluation of the
  translated expression.  Note that this breaks the usage of some of
  the generated XPath expressions as XSLT location paths that
  previously worked in 2.3.1.

* Fixed parsing of some selectors in cssselect. Whitespace after combinators
  ">", "+" and "~" is now correctly ignored. Previously is was parsed as
  a descendant combinator. For example, "div> .foo" was parsed the same as
  "div>* .foo" instead of "div>.foo".

Other changes
--------------

2.3.1 (2011-09-25)
==================

Features added
--------------

* New option ``kill_tags`` in ``lxml.html.clean`` to remove specific
  tags and their content (i.e. their whole subtree).

* ``pi.get()`` and ``pi.attrib`` on processing instructions to parse
  pseudo-attributes from the text content of processing instructions.

* ``lxml.get_include()`` returns a list of include paths that can be
  used to compile external C code against lxml.etree.  This is
  specifically required for statically linked lxml builds when code
  needs to compile against the exact same header file versions as lxml
  itself.

* ``Resolver.resolve_file()`` takes an additional option
  ``close_file`` that configures if the file(-like) object will be
  closed after reading or not.  By default, the file will be closed,
  as the user is not expected to keep a reference to it.

Bugs fixed
----------

* HTML cleaning didn't remove 'data:' links.

* The html5lib parser integration now uses the 'official'
  implementation in html5lib itself, which makes it work with newer
  releases of the library.

* In ``lxml.sax``, ``endElementNS()`` could incorrectly reject a plain
  tag name when the corresponding start event inferred the same plain
  tag name to be in the default namespace.

* When an open file-like object is passed into ``parse()`` or
  ``iterparse()``, the parser will no longer close it after use.  This
  reverts a change in lxml 2.3 where all files would be closed.  It is
  the users responsibility to properly close the file(-like) object,
  also in error cases.

* Assertion error in lxml.html.cleaner when discarding top-level elements.

* In lxml.cssselect, use the xpath 'A//B' (short for
  'A/descendant-or-self::node()/B') instead of 'A/descendant::B' for
  the css descendant selector ('A B').  This makes a few edge cases
  like ``"div *:last-child"`` consistent with the selector behavior in
  WebKit and Firefox, and makes more css expressions valid location
  paths (for use in xsl:template match).

* In lxml.html, non-selected ``<option>`` tags no longer show up in the
  collected form values.

* Adding/removing ``<option>`` values to/from a multiple select form
  field properly selects them and unselects them.

Other changes
--------------

* Static builds can specify the download directory with the
  ``--download-dir`` option.

2.3 (2011-02-06)
================

Features added
--------------

* When looking for children, ``lxml.objectify`` takes '{}tag' as
  meaning an empty namespace, as opposed to the parent namespace.

Bugs fixed
----------

* When finished reading from a file-like object, the parser
  immediately calls its ``.close()`` method.

* When finished parsing, ``iterparse()`` immediately closes the input
  file.

* Work-around for libxml2 bug that can leave the HTML parser in a
  non-functional state after parsing a severly broken document (fixed
  in libxml2 2.7.8).

* ``marque`` tag in HTML cleanup code is correctly named ``marquee``.

Other changes
--------------

* Some public functions in the Cython-level C-API have more explicit
  return types.

2.3beta1 (2010-09-06)
=====================

Features added
--------------

Bugs fixed
----------

* Crash in newer libxml2 versions when moving elements between
  documents that had attributes on replaced XInclude nodes.

* ``XMLID()`` function was missing the optional ``parser`` and
  ``base_url`` parameters.

* Searching for wildcard tags in ``iterparse()`` was broken in Py3.

* ``lxml.html.open_in_browser()`` didn't work in Python 3 due to the
  use of os.tempnam.  It now takes an optional 'encoding' parameter.

Other changes
--------------

2.3alpha2 (2010-07-24)
======================

Features added
--------------

Bugs fixed
----------

* Crash in XSLT when generating text-only result documents with a
  stylesheet created in a different thread.

Other changes
--------------

* ``repr()`` of Element objects shows the hex ID with leading 0x
  (following ElementTree 1.3).

2.3alpha1 (2010-06-19)
======================

Features added
--------------

* Keyword argument ``namespaces`` in ``lxml.cssselect.CSSSelector()``
  to pass a prefix-to-namespace mapping for the selector.

* New function ``lxml.etree.register_namespace(prefix, uri)`` that
  globally registers a namespace prefix for a namespace that newly
  created Elements in that namespace will use automatically.  Follows
  ElementTree 1.3.

* Support 'unicode' string name as encoding parameter in
  ``tostring()``, following ElementTree 1.3.

* Support 'c14n' serialisation method in ``ElementTree.write()`` and
  ``tostring()``, following ElementTree 1.3.

* The ElementPath expression syntax (``el.find*()``) was extended to
  match the upcoming ElementTree 1.3 that will ship in the standard
  library of Python 3.2/2.7.  This includes extended support for
  predicates as well as namespace prefixes (as known from XPath).

* During regular XPath evaluation, various ESXLT functions are
  available within their namespace when using libxslt 1.1.26 or later.

* Support passing a readily configured logger instance into
  ``PyErrorLog``, instead of a logger name.

* On serialisation, the new ``doctype`` parameter can be used to
  override the DOCTYPE (internal subset) of the document.

* New parameter ``output_parent`` to ``XSLTExtension.apply_templates()``
  to append the resulting content directly to an output element.

* ``XSLTExtension.process_children()`` to process the content of the
  XSLT extension element itself.

* ISO-Schematron support based on the de-facto Schematron reference
  'skeleton implementation'.

* XSLT objects now take XPath object as ``__call__`` stylesheet
  parameters.

* Enable path caching in ElementPath (``el.find*()``) to avoid parsing
  overhead.

* Setting the value of a namespaced attribute always uses a prefixed
  namespace instead of the default namespace even if both declare the
  same namespace URI.  This avoids serialisation problems when an
  attribute from a default namespace is set on an element from a
  different namespace.

* XSLT extension elements: support for XSLT context nodes other than
  elements: document root, comments, processing instructions.

* Support for strings (in addition to Elements) in node-sets returned
  by extension functions.

* Forms that lack an ``action`` attribute default to the base URL of
  the document on submit.

* XPath attribute result strings have an ``attrname`` property.

* Namespace URIs get validated against RFC 3986 at the API level
  (required by the XML namespace specification).

* Target parsers show their target object in the ``.target`` property
  (compatible with ElementTree).

Bugs fixed
----------

* API is hardened against invalid proxy instances to prevent crashes
  due to incorrectly instantiated Element instances.

* Prevent crash when instantiating ``CommentBase`` and friends.

* Export ElementTree compatible XML parser class as
  ``XMLTreeBuilder``, as it is called in ET 1.2.

* ObjectifiedDataElements in lxml.objectify were not hashable.  They
  now use the hash value of the underlying Python value (string,
  number, etc.) to which they compare equal.

* Parsing broken fragments in lxml.html could fail if the fragment
  contained an orphaned closing '</div>' tag.

* Using XSLT extension elements around the root of the output document
  crashed.

* ``lxml.cssselect`` did not distinguish between ``x[attr="val"]`` and
  ``x [attr="val"]`` (with a space).  The latter now matches the
  attribute independent of the element.

* Rewriting multiple links inside of HTML text content could end up
  replacing unrelated content as replacements could impact the
  reported position of subsequent matches.  Modifications are now
  simplified by letting the ``iterlinks()`` generator in ``lxml.html``
  return links in reversed order if they appear inside the same text
  node.  Thus, replacements and link-internal modifications no longer
  change the position of links reported afterwards.

* The ``.value`` attribute of ``textarea`` elements in lxml.html did
  not represent the complete raw value (including child tags etc.). It
  now serialises the complete content on read and replaces the
  complete content by a string on write.

* Target parser didn't call ``.close()`` on the target object if
  parsing failed.  Now it is guaranteed that ``.close()`` will be
  called after parsing, regardless of the outcome.

Other changes
-------------

* Official support for Python 3.1.2 and later.

* Static MS Windows builds can now download their dependencies
  themselves.

* ``Element.attrib`` no longer uses a cyclic reference back to its
  Element object.  It therefore no longer requires the garbage
  collector to clean up.

* Static builds include libiconv, in addition to libxml2 and libxslt.

2.2.8 (2010-09-02)
==================

Bugs fixed
----------

* Crash in newer libxml2 versions when moving elements between
  documents that had attributes on replaced XInclude nodes.

* Import fix for urljoin in Python 3.1+.

2.2.7 (2010-07-24)
==================

Bugs fixed
----------

* Crash in XSLT when generating text-only result documents with a
  stylesheet created in a different thread.
