Notable Changes

Ruby

Pattern matching

This version marks official support for the pattern matching API in XML::Attr, XML::Document, XML::DocumentFragment, XML::Namespace, XML::Node, and XML::NodeSet (and their subclasses), originally introduced as an experimental feature in v1.14.0. (@flavorjones)

Documentation on what can be matched:

• XML::Attr#deconstruct_keys
• XML::Document#deconstruct_keys
• XML::Namespace#deconstruct_keys
• XML::Node#deconstruct_keys
• XML::DocumentFragment#deconstruct
• XML::NodeSet#deconstruct

Dependencies

  • https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libxml2/-/releases/v2.12.2
  • https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libxml2/-/releases/v2.12.3

Fixed

• CSS nth pseudo-classes now handle spaces, e.g. "2n + 1". [fix: strip spaces from the operator when translating nth css to xpath #3018] (@fusion2004)

Removed

• Removed Nokogiri::HTML5.get which was deprecated in v1.12.0. [introduce html4 namespace #2278] (@flavorjones)
• Removed the CSS-to-XPath utility modules XPathVisitorAlwaysUseBuiltins and XPathVisitorOptimallyUseBuiltins, which were deprecated in v1.13.0 in favor of XPathVisitor constructor args. [HTML5 documents should not require namespaces in CSS selector queries #2403] (@flavorjones)
• Removed XML::Reader#attribute_nodes which was deprecated in v1.13.8 in favor of #attribute_hash. [bug: v1.13.7 XML::Reader may segfault #2598, fix: XML::Reader XML::Attr garbage collection #2599] (@flavorjones)
• [CRuby] Removed the libxml/libxml2_path key from VersionInfo, used in the past for third-party library integration, in favor of the nokogiri/cppflags and nokogiri/ldflags keys. Please note that third-party library integration is not fully supported and may be deprecated soon, see RFC: Stop exporting symbols #2746 for more context. [fine tune packaging #2143] (@flavorjones)
