2.0.1

2.0.1

• FIX: Remove unused code.

1.9.6

1.9.6

Note: Last version for Python 2.7

• FIX: Prune dead code.
• FIX: Corner case with splitting namespace and tag name that that have an escaped |.

2.0.0

2.0.0

• NEW: SelectorSyntaxError is derived from Exception not SyntaxError.
• NEW: Remove deprecated comments and icomments from the API.
• NEW: Drop support for EOL Python versions (Python 2 and Python < 3.5).
• FIX: Corner case with splitting namespace and tag name that have an escaped |.

1.9.5

1.9.5

• FIX: :placeholder-shown should not match if the element has content that overrides the placeholder.

1.9.4

1.9.4

• FIX: :checked rule was too strict with option elements. The specification for :checked does not require an
  option element to be under a select element.
• FIX: Fix level 4 :lang() wildcard match handling with singletons. Implicit wildcard matching should not
  match any singleton. Explicit wildcard matching (* in the language range: *-US) is allowed to match singletons.

1.9.3

1.9.3

• FIX: [attr!=value] pattern was mistakenly using :not([attr|=value]) logic instead of :not([attr=value]).
• FIX: Remove undocumented _QUIRKS mode flag. Beautiful Soup was meant to use it to help with transition to Soup Sieve, but never released with it. Help with transition at this point is no longer needed.

1.9.2

1.9.2

• FIX: Shortcut last descendant calculation if possible for performance.
• FIX: Fix issue where Doctype strings can be mistaken for a normal text node in some cases.
• FIX: A top level tag is not a :root tag if it has sibling text nodes or tag nodes. This is an issue that mostly manifests when using html.parser as the parser will allow multiple root nodes.

1.9.1

1.9.1

• FIX: :root, :contains(), :default, :indeterminate, :lang(), and :dir() will properly account for HTML iframe elements in their logic when selecting or matching an element. Their logic will be restricted to the document for which the element under consideration applies.
• FIX: HTML pseudo-classes will check that all key elements checked are in the XHTML namespace (HTML parsers that do not provide namespaces will assume the XHTML namespace).
• FIX: Ensure that all pseudo-class names are case insensitive and allow CSS escapes.

1.9.0

1.9.0

• NEW: Allow :contains() to accept a list of text to search for. (#115)
• NEW: Add new escape function for escaping CSS identifiers. (#125)
• NEW: Deprecate comments and icomments functions in the API to ensure Soup Sieve focuses only in CSS selectors. comments and icomments will most likely be removed in 2.0. (#130)
• NEW: Add Python 3.8 support. (#133)
• FIX: Don't install test files when installing the soupsieve package. (#111)
• FIX: Improve efficiency of :contains() comparison.
• FIX: Null characters should translate to the Unicode REPLACEMENT CHARACTER (U+FFFD) according to the specification. This applies to CSS escaped NULL characters as well. (#124)
• FIX: Escaped EOF should translate to U+FFFD outside of CSS strings. In a string, they should just be ignored, but as there is no case where we could resolve such a string and still have a valid selector, string handling remains the same. (#128)

1.8.0

1.8.0

• NEW: Add custom selector support. (#92)(#108)
• FIX: Small tweak to CSS identifier pattern to ensure it matches the CSS specification exactly. Specifically, you can't have an identifier of only -. (#107)
• FIX: CSS string patterns should allow escaping newlines to span strings across multiple lines. (#107)
• FIX: Newline regular expression for CSS newlines should treat \r\n as a single character, especially in cases such as string escapes: \\\r\n. (#107)
• FIX: Allow -- as a valid identifier or identifier start. (#107)
• FIX: Bad CSS syntax now raises a SelectorSyntaxError, which is still currently derived from SyntaxError, but will most likely be derived from Exception in the future.
