what is it ---------- A Python package to parse and build CSS Cascading Style Sheets. (Not a renderer though!) about this release ------------------ 0.9.7b1 is a beta release but quite stable now I guess... main changes ------------ 0.9.7b1 optimizes handling speed of CSSVariables *a lot*... changes + **API CHANGE**: Child objects like the ``cssRules`` of a ``CSSStyleSheet`` or ``CSSMediaRule`` are no longer kept after resetting the complete contents of an object (setting ``cssText``). This should not be expected anyway but if you relied on something like the following please beware:: sheet = cssutils.parseString('a { color: red}') initial_rules = sheet.cssRules sheet.cssText = 'b { color: green}' # true until 0.9.6a6: assert sheet.cssRules == initial_rules, but now: assert sheet.cssRules != initial_rules + **IMPROVEMENT**: Massive speed improvement of handling of CSSVariables of a stylesheet which due to naive implementation was unbelievable slow when using a lot of vars... Should now scale a lot better, about factor 5-20 depending of amount of variables used. + IMPROVEMENT: Fair amount of refactoring resulting in a bit speed improvement generally too + CHANGE: If a CSS variable should be resolved (``cssutils.ser.prefs.resolveVariables == true``) but no value can be found a WARNING is logged now. Should be an ERROR actually but as currently lots of "fake" errors are reported would probably hurt more than help. A future release might improve this. + BUGFIX: Syntax of value of CSS Fonts Module Level 3 ``src`` property now validates if local font name is given with a quoted name, e.g.: ``src: local('Yanone Kaffeesatz')`` license ------- cssutils is published under the LGPL version 3 or later, see http://cthedot.de/cssutils/ If you have other licensing needs please let me know. download -------- For download options see http://cthedot.de/cssutils/ cssutils needs Python 2.4 or higher or Jython 2.5 and higher (tested with Python 2.6.5(x64), 2.5.4(x32), 2.4.4(x32) and Jython 2.5.1 on Win7 64 only) Bug reports (via Google code), comments, etc are very much appreciated!
