[lxml-dev] lxml 1.3beta released

Hi all, together with 1.2.1, I released a beta version of the upcoming 1.3 series. It contains a number of bigger changes and enhancements over the 1.2 series. The main difference is a rewrite of the internal namespace cleanup code that should reduce the problems related to duplicated namespace declarations and the like. There are also some new things at the API level, including a DTD class for validating against DTDs and two helper modules that were written by Fredrik Lundh for simpler XML/HTML generation. I'm not sure the two modules will stay in (and keep their current name), so don't bet your job on them for now. I personally like them a lot, though. Have fun, Stefan Changelog for 1.3beta (2007-02-27) Features added * DTD validator class (like RelaxNG and XMLSchema) * HTML generator helpers by Fredrik Lundh in lxml.htmlbuilder * ElementMaker XML generator by Fredrik Lundh in lxml.builder.E * Support for pickeling objectify.ObjectifiedElement objects to XML * update() method on Element.attrib * Optimised replacement for libxml2's _xmlReconsiliateNs(). This allows lxml a better handling of namespaces when moving elements between documents. Bugs fixed * Possible memory leaks in namespace handling when moving elements between documents Other changes * major restructuring in the documentation

To answer my own E-mail. A search on cheeseshop did not find the 1.3beta release. I found it under http://cheeseshop.python.org/pypi/lxml/1.3beta The obvious location of course. I do not know why the search did not return it, since I found it yesterday. Nevertheless, thank you once again for providing pre-compiled binary builds for windows. Kind regards, Michael
