Changelog

v0.4

Unreleased (changes):

  • The parser is now distributed with Windows binaries, fixing an issue that prevented Windows users from using the C tokenizer.
  • Added support for parsing wikicode tables (patches by David Winegar).
  • Added a script to test for memory leaks in scripts/memtest.py.
  • Added a script to do releases in scripts/release.sh.
  • skip_style_tags can now be passed to mwparserfromhell.parse() <.parse_anything> (previously, only .Parser.parse allowed it).
  • The recursive argument to Wikicode's <.Wikicode> .filter methods now accepts a third option, RECURSE_OTHERS, which recurses over all children except instances of forcetype (for example, code.filter_templates(code.RECURSE_OTHERS) returns all un-nested templates).
  • The parser now understands HTML tag attributes quoted with single quotes. When setting a tag attribute's value, quotes will be added if necessary. As part of this, .Attribute's ~.Attribute.quoted attribute has been changed to ~.Attribute.quotes, and is now either a string or None.
  • Calling .Template.remove with a .Parameter object that is not part of the template now raises ValueError instead of doing nothing.
  • .Parameters with non-integer keys can no longer be created with showkey=False, nor have the value of this attribute be set to False later.
  • ._ListProxy.destroy has been changed to ._ListProxy.detach, and now works in a more useful way.
  • If something goes wrong while parsing, .ParserError will now be raised. Previously, the parser would produce an unclear .BadRoute exception or allow an incorrect node tree to be build.
  • Fixed parser bugs involving:
    • nested tags;
    • comments in template names;
    • tags inside of <nowiki> tags.
  • Added tests to ensure that parsed trees convert back to wikicode without unintentional modifications.
  • Added support for a NOWEB environment variable, which disables a unit test that makes a web call.
  • Test coverage has been improved, and some minor related bugs have been fixed.
  • Updated and fixed some documentation.

v0.3.3

Released April 22, 2014 (changes):

  • Added support for Python 2.6 and 3.4.
  • .Template.has is now passed ignore_empty=False by default instead of True. This fixes a bug when adding parameters to templates with empty fields, and is a breaking change if you rely on the default behavior.
  • The matches argument of Wikicode's <.Wikicode> .filter methods now accepts a function (taking one argument, a .Node, and returning a bool) in addition to a regex.
  • Re-added flat argument to .Wikicode.get_sections, fixed the order in which it returns sections, and made it faster.
  • .Wikicode.matches now accepts a tuple or list of strings/.Wikicode objects instead of just a single string or .Wikicode.
  • Given the frequency of issues with the (admittedly insufficient) tag parser, there's a temporary skip_style_tags argument to ~.Parser.parse that ignores '' and ''' until these issues are corrected.
  • Fixed a parser bug involving nested wikilinks and external links.
  • C code cleanup and speed improvements.

v0.3.2

Released September 1, 2013 (changes):

  • Added support for Python 3.2 (along with current support for 3.3 and 2.7).
  • Renamed .Template.remove's first argument from name to param, which now accepts .Parameter objects in addition to parameter name strings.

v0.3.1

Released August 29, 2013 (changes):

  • Fixed a parser bug involving URLs nested inside other markup.
  • Fixed some typos.

v0.3

Released August 24, 2013 (changes):

  • Added complete support for HTML Tags <.Tag>, including forms like <ref>foo</ref>, <ref name="bar"/>, and wiki-markup tags like bold ('''), italics (''), and lists (*, #, ; and :).
  • Added support for .ExternalLinks (http://example.com/ and [http://example.com/ Example]).
  • Wikicode's <.Wikicode> .filter methods are now passed recursive=True by default instead of False. This is a breaking change if you rely on any filter() methods being non-recursive by default.
  • Added a .matches method to .Wikicode for page/template name comparisons.
  • The obj param of .Wikicode.insert_before, .insert_after, ~.Wikicode.replace, and ~.Wikicode.remove now accepts .Wikicode objects and strings representing parts of wikitext, instead of just nodes. These methods also make all possible substitutions instead of just one.
  • Renamed .Template.has_param to ~.Template.has for consistency with .Template's other methods; .has_param is now an alias.
  • The C tokenizer extension now works on Python 3 in addition to Python 2.7.
  • Various bugfixes, internal changes, and cleanup.

v0.2

Released June 20, 2013 (changes):

  • The parser now fully supports Python 3 in addition to Python 2.7.
  • Added a C tokenizer extension that is significantly faster than its Python equivalent. It is enabled by default (if available) and can be toggled by setting mwparserfromhell.parser.use_c to a boolean value.
  • Added a complete set of unit tests covering parsing and wikicode manipulation.
  • Renamed .filter_links to .filter_wikilinks (applies to .ifilter as well).
  • Added filter methods for Arguments <.Argument>, Comments <.Comment>, Headings <.Heading>, and HTMLEntities <.HTMLEntity>.
  • Added before param to .Template.add; renamed force_nonconformity to preserve_spacing.
  • Added include_lead param to .Wikicode.get_sections.
  • Removed flat param from .get_sections.
  • Removed force_no_field param from .Template.remove.
  • Added support for Travis CI.
  • Added note about Windows build issue in the README.
  • The tokenizer will limit itself to a realistic recursion depth to prevent errors and unreasonably long parse times.
  • Fixed how some nodes' attribute setters handle input.
  • Fixed multiple bugs in the tokenizer's handling of invalid markup.
  • Fixed bugs in the implementation of .SmartList and .StringMixIn.
  • Fixed some broken example code in the README; other copyedits.
  • Other bugfixes and code cleanup.

v0.1.1

Released September 21, 2012 (changes):

  • Added support for Comments <.Comment> (<!-- foo -->) and Wikilinks <.Wikilink> ([[foo]]).
  • Added corresponding .ifilter_links and .filter_links methods to .Wikicode.
  • Fixed a bug when parsing incomplete templates.
  • Fixed .strip_code to affect the contents of headings.
  • Various copyedits in documentation and comments.

v0.1

Released August 23, 2012:

  • Initial release.
