v6.0.2

Compare Source

==================

Bugs fixed

• LP#2125278: Compilation with libxml2 2.15.0 failed.
  Original patch by Xi Ruoyao.

• Setting decompress=True in the parser had no effect in libxml2 2.15.

• Binary wheels on Linux and macOS use the library version libxml2 2.14.6.
  See https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libxml2/-/releases/v2.14.6

• Test failures in libxml2 2.15.0 were fixed.

Other changes

• Binary wheels for Py3.9-3.11 on the riscv64 architecture were added.

• Error constants were updated to match libxml2 2.15.0.

• Built using Cython 3.1.4.

  See https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libxml2/-/releases/v2.14.5

• Windows binary wheels continue to use a security patched library version libxml2 2.11.9.

v6.0.0

Compare Source

==================

Features added

• GH#463: lxml.html.diff is faster and provides structurally better diffs.
  Original patch by Steven Fernandez.

• GH#405: The factories Element and ElementTree can now be used in type hints.

• GH#448: Parsing from memoryview and other buffers is supported to allow zero-copy parsing.

• GH#437: lxml.html.builder was missing several HTML5 tag names.
  Patch by Nick Tarleton.

• GH#458: CDATA can now be written into the incremental xmlfile() writer.
  Original patch by Lane Shaw.

• A new parser option decompress=False was added that controls the automatic
  input decompression when using libxml2 2.15.0 or later. Disabling this option
  by default will effectively prevent decompression bombs when handling untrusted
  input. Code that depends on automatic decompression must enable this option.
  Note that libxml2 2.15.0 was not released yet, so this option currently has no
  effect but can already be used.

• The set of compile time / runtime supported libxml2 feature names is available as
  etree.LIBXML_COMPILED_FEATURES and etree.LIBXML_FEATURES.
  This currently includes
  catalog, ftp, html, http, iconv, icu,
  lzma, regexp, schematron, xmlschema, xpath, zlib.

Bugs fixed

• GH#353: Predicates in .find*() could mishandle tag indices if a default namespace is provided.
  Original patch by Luise K.

• GH#272: The head and body properties of lxml.html elements failed if no such element
  was found. They now return None instead.
  Original patch by FVolral.

• Tag names provided by code (API, not data) that are longer than INT_MAX
  could be truncated or mishandled in other ways.

• .text_content() on lxml.html elements accidentally returned a "smart string"
  without additional information. It now returns a plain string.

• LP#2109931: When building lxml with coverage reporting, it now disables the sys.monitoring
  support due to the lack of support in nedbat/coveragepy#1790

Other changes

• Support for Python < 3.8 was removed.

• Parsing directly from zlib (or lzma) compressed data is now considered an optional
  feature in lxml. It may get removed from libxml2 at some point for security reasons
  (compression bombs) and is therefore no longer guaranteed to be available in lxml.

  As of this release, zlib support is still normally available in the binary wheels
  but may get disabled or removed in later (x.y.0) releases. To test the availability,
  use "zlib" in etree.LIBXML_FEATURES.

• The Schematron class is deprecated and will become non-functional in a future lxml version.
  The feature will soon be removed from libxml2 and stop being available.

• GH#438: Wheels include the arm7l target.

• GH#465: Windows wheels include the arm64 target.
  Patch by Finn Womack.

• Binary wheels use the library versions libxml2 2.14.4 and libxslt 1.1.43.
  Note that this disables direct HTTP and FTP support for parsing from URLs.
  Use Python URL request tools instead (which usually also support HTTPS).
  To test the availability, use "http" in etree.LIBXML_FEATURES.

• Windows binary wheels use the library versions libxml2 2.11.9, libxslt 1.1.39 and libiconv 1.17.
  They are now based on VS-2022.

• Built using Cython 3.1.2.

• The debug methods MemDebug.dump() and MemDebug.show() were removed completely.
  libxml2 2.13.0 discarded this feature.

  where it should have issued a warning.

• GH#416: The documentation build was using the non-standard which command.
  Patch by Michał Górny.

v5.2.0

Compare Source

==================

Other changes

• LP#1958539: The lxml.html.clean implementation suffered from several (only if used)
  security issues in the past and was now extracted into a separate library:

  https://github.com/fedora-python/lxml_html_clean

  Projects that use lxml without "lxml.html.clean" will not notice any difference,
  except that they won't have potentially vulnerable code installed.
  The module is available as an "extra" setuptools dependency "lxml[html_clean]",
  so that Projects that need "lxml.html.clean" will need to switch their requirements
  from "lxml" to "lxml[html_clean]", or install the new library themselves.

• The minimum CPU architecture for the Linux x86 binary wheels was upgraded to
  "sandybridge" (launched 2011), and glibc 2.28 / gcc 12 (manylinux_2_28) wheels were added.

• Built with Cython 3.0.10.

==================

Features added

• Character escaping in C14N2 serialisation now uses a single pass over the text
  instead of searching for each unescaped character separately.

• Early support for Python 3.13a2 was added.

Bugs fixed

• LP#1976304: The Element.addnext() method previously inserted the new element
  before existing tail text. The tail text of both sibling elements now stays on
  the respective elements.

• LP#1980767, GH#379: TreeBuilder.close() could fail with a TypeError after
  parsing incorrect input. Original patch by Enrico Minack.

• Element.itertext(with_tail=False) returned the tail text of comments and
  processing instructions, despite the explicit option.

• GH#370: A crash with recent libxml2 2.11.x versions was resolved.
  Patch by Michael Schlenker.

• A compile problem with recent libxml2 2.12.x versions was resolved.

• The internal exception handling in C callbacks was improved for Cython 3.0.

• The exception declarations of xmlInputReadCallback, xmlInputCloseCallback,
  xmlOutputWriteCallback and xmlOutputCloseCallback in tree.pxd were
  corrected to prevent running Python code or calling into the C-API with a live
  exception set.

• GH#385: The long deprecated unittest.m̀akeSuite() function is no longer used.
  Patch by Miro Hrončok.

• LP#1522052: A file-system specific test is now optional and should no longer fail
  on systems that don't support it.

• GH#392: Some tests were adapted for libxml2 2.13.
  Patch by Nick Wellnhofer.

• Contains all fixes from lxml 4.9.4.

Other changes

• LP#1742885: lxml no longer expands external entities (XXE) by default to prevent
  the security risk of loading arbitrary files and URLs. If this feature is needed,
  it can be enabled in a backwards compatible way by using a parser with the option
  resolve_entities=True. The new default is resolve_entities='internal'.

• With libxml2 2.10.4 and later (as provided by the lxml 5.0 binary wheels),
  parsing HTML tags with "prefixes" no longer builds a namespace dictionary
  in nsmap but considers the prefix:name string the actual tag name.
  With older libxml2 versions, since 2.9.11, the prefix was removed. Before
  that, the prefix was parsed as XML prefix.

  lxml 5.0 does not try to hide this difference but now changes the ElementPath
  implementation to let element.find("part1:part2") search for the tag
  part1:part2 in documents parsed as HTML, instead of looking only for part2.

• LP#2024343: The validation of the schema file itself is now optional in the
  ISO-Schematron implementation. This was done because some lxml distributions
  discard the RNG validation schema file due to licensing issues. The validation
  can now always be disabled with Schematron(..., validate_schema=False).
  It is enabled by default if available and disabled otherwise. The module
  constant lxml.isoschematron.schematron_schema_valid_supported can be used
  to detect whether schema file validation is available.

• Some redundant and long deprecated methods were removed:
  parser.setElementClassLookup(),
  xslt_transform.apply(),
  xpath.evaluate().

• Some incorrect declarations were removed from python.pxd. In general, this file
  should not be used by external Cython code. Use the C-API declarations provided by
  Cython itself instead.

• Binary wheels use the library versions libxml2 2.12.3 and libxslt 1.1.39.

• Built with Cython 3.0.7, updated to follow recent changes in Cython 3.1-dev.

• 🌟 CPython 3.14 wheels are now built by default - without the "cpython-prerelease" enable set. It's time to build and upload these wheels to PyPI! This release includes CPython 3.14.0rc1, which is guaranteed to be ABI compatible with the final release. (#​2507) Free-threading is no longer experimental in 3.14, so you have to skip it explicitly with 'cp31?t-*' if you don't support it yet. (#​2503)

• ✨ Support for 32-bit manylinux_2_28 (now a consistent default) and manylinux_2_34 added (#​2500)
• 🛠 Improved summary, will also use markdown summary output on GHA (#​2469)
• 🛠 The riscv64 images now have a working default (as they are now part of pypy/manylinux), but are still experimental (and behind an enable) since you can't push them to PyPI yet (#​2506)

• 🌟 Adds support for the GraalPy interpreter! Enable for your project using the enable option. (#​1538, #​2411, #​2414)

• ✨ Adds CPython 3.14 support, under the enable option cpython-prerelease. This version of cibuildwheel uses 3.14.0b2. (#​2390)

  While CPython is in beta, the ABI can change, so your wheels might not be compatible with the final release. For this reason, we don't recommend distributing wheels until RC1, at which point 3.14 will be available in cibuildwheel without the flag. (#​2390)

• ✨ Adds the test-sources option, and changes the working directory for tests. (#​2062, #​2284, #​2437)

  • If this option is set, cibuildwheel will copy the files and folders specified in test-sources into the temporary directory we run from. This is required for iOS builds, but also useful for other platforms, as it allows you to avoid placeholders.
  • If this option is not set, behaviour matches v2.x - cibuildwheel will run the tests from a temporary directory, and you can use the {project} placeholder in the test-command to refer to the project directory. (#​2420)

• ✨ Adds dependency-versions inline syntax (#​2122)

• ✨ Improves support for Pyodide builds and adds the experimental pyodide-version option, which allows you to specify the version of Pyodide to use for builds. (#​2002)

• ✨ Add pyodide-prerelease enable option, with an early build of 0.28 (Python 3.13). (#​2431)

• ✨ Adds the test-environment option, which allows you to set environment variables for the test command. (#​2388)

• ✨ Adds the xbuild-tools option, which allows you to specify tools safe for cross-compilation. Currently only used on iOS; will be useful for Android in the future. (#​2317)

• 🛠 The default manylinux image has changed from manylinux2014 to manylinux_2_28. (#​2330)

• 🛠 EOL images manylinux1, manylinux2010, manylinux_2_24 and musllinux_1_1 can no longer be specified by their shortname. The full OCI name can still be used for these images, if you wish. (#​2316)

• 🛠 Invokes build rather than pip wheel to build wheels by default. You can control this via the build-frontend option. You might notice that you can see your build log output now! (#​2321)

• 🛠 Build verbosity settings have been reworked to have consistent meanings between build backends when non-zero. (#​2339)

• 🛠 Removed the CIBW_PRERELEASE_PYTHONS and CIBW_FREE_THREADED_SUPPORT options - these have been folded into the enable option instead. (#​2095)

• 🛠 Build environments no longer have setuptools and wheel preinstalled. (#​2329)

• 🛠 Use the standard Schema line for the integrated JSONSchema. (#​2433)

• ⚠️ Dropped support for building Python 3.6 and 3.7 wheels. If you need to build wheels for these versions, use cibuildwheel v2.23.3 or earlier. (#​2282)

• ⚠️ The minimum Python version required to run cibuildwheel is now Python 3.11. You can still build wheels for Python 3.8 and newer. (#​1912)

• ⚠️ 32-bit Linux wheels no longer built by default - the arch was removed from "auto". It now requires explicit "auto32". Note that modern manylinux images (like the new default, manylinux_2_28) do not have 32-bit versions. (#​2458)

• ⚠️ PyPy wheels no longer built by default, due to a change to our options system. To continue building PyPy wheels, you'll now need to set the enable option to pypy or pypy-eol. (#​2095)

• ⚠️ Dropped official support for Appveyor. If it was working for you before, it will probably continue to do so, but we can't be sure, because our CI doesn't run there anymore. (#​2386)

• 📚 A reorganisation of the docs, and numerous updates. (#​2280)

• 📚 Use Python 3.14 color output in docs CLI output. (#​2407)

• 📚 Docs now primarily use the pyproject.toml name of options, rather than the environment variable name. (#​2389)

• 📚 README table now matches docs and auto-updates. (#​2427, #​2428)
