Hi, I just released lxml 2.0beta2 to PyPI. This is the last beta before the final release, which is to be expected on February 1st. So, last chance to find bugs. :) Changelog follows, as usual. Have fun, Stefan 2.0beta2 (2008-01-25) Features added * Plain ASCII XPath string results are no longer forced into unicode objects as in 2.0beta1, but are returned as plain strings as before. * All XPath string results are 'smart' objects that have a getparent() method to retrieve their parent Element. * with_tail option in serialiser functions. * More accurate exception messages in validator creation. Bugs fixed * Missing import in lxml.html.clean. * Some Python 2.4-isms prevented lxml from building/running under Python 2.3. Other changes * Exceptions carry only the part of the error log that is related to the operation that caused the error. * XMLSchema() and RelaxNG() now enforce passing the source file/filename through the file keyyword argument. * The test suite now skips most doctests under Python 2.3. * make clean no longer removes the .c files (use make realclean instead)
