Hi all, I just released lxml 4.1.0 with a couple of new features and fixes. The documentation is here: http://lxml.de/ Download: https://pypi.python.org/packages/89/dc/ec07a5adf6afb02ad4f5f7e1f7e1a2fc0e3d8... Signature: https://pypi.python.org/packages/89/dc/ec07a5adf6afb02ad4f5f7e1f7e1a2fc0e3d8... Changelog: http://lxml.de/4.1/changes-4.1.0.html Github: https://github.com/lxml/lxml/releases/tag/lxml-4.1.0 This release was built using Cython 0.27.1. If you are interested in commercial support or customisations for the lxml package, please contact me directly. Have fun, Stefan 4.1.0 (2017-10-13) ================== Features added -------------- * ElementPath supports text predicates for current node, like "[.='text']". * ElementPath allows spaces in predicates. * Custom Element classes and XPath functions can now be registered with a decorator rather than explicit dict assignments. * Static Linux wheels are now built with link time optimisation (LTO) enabled. This should have a beneficial impact on the overall performance by providing a tighter compiler integration between lxml and libxml2/libxslt. Bugs fixed ---------- * LP#1722776: Requesting non-Element objects like comments from a document with ``PythonElementClassLookup`` could fail with a TypeError.
