what is it ---------- A Python package to parse and build CSS Cascading Style Sheets. main changes since 0.9.4a4 -------------------------- for full details for 0.9.4b1 see the relevant CHANGELOG: http://cssutils.googlecode.com/svn/tags/TAG_0.9.4b1/CHANGELOG.txt 0.9.4b1 - **FEATURE**: Added ``csscombine`` script which currently resolves @import rules into the input sheet. No nested @imports are resolved yet and @namespace rules do not work yet though! + **BUGFIX**: Serializing escape sequences add a single SPACE after each escape. This was not present until now so a sequence like "\\74 a" did come out as "\\000074a" which was not as intended. Also as a SPACE is inserted in any case all escapes are not padded to 6 digits anymore but are only as long as needed. + **BUGFIX**: Handling of illegal selectors is now same as the W3C CSS validator (and according the selector spec - I hope ;). Illegal selectors result the complete rule being dropped. Fixed are the following (edge) cases: ``a/**/b`` Meant was probably a space between a and b (plus maybe the comment) but it MUST be inserted. IE and Safari nevertheless seem to parse this rule as ``a b`` so as if a space would be present. cssutils now parses this selector as intented by the spec as ``ab``. ``a*b`` Again spaces around the UNIVERSAL ``*`` were probably meant by the author. IE and Safari seem to parse this **invalid** selector as ``a b``. cssutils ignores this rule completely! + BUGFIX: ``css.CSSRuleList`` is still a Python list but setting methods like ``__init__``, ``append``, ``extend`` or ``__setslice__`` are added later on instances of this class if so desired. E.g. CSSStyleSheet adds ``append`` which is not available in a simple instance of this class! This has been changed as no validation is possible in CSSRuleList itself. + IMPROVEMENT: Added better ``str`` and ``repr`` to cssutils.serializer.Preferences + IMPROVEMENT: Added position information to some error reportings (Property, CSSMediaRule + some internal changes license ------- cssutils is published under the LGPL. download -------- for download options for see http://cthedot.de/cssutils/ cssutils needs Python 2.4 or higher (tested with Python 2.5 on Vista only) bug reports, comments, etc are very much appreciated! thanks, Christof
