[ANN] nokogiri 1.4.5 Released

[Mike Dalessio]

Nokogiri 1.4.5 ("Lolwut Edition"), has been released! It's been six months since

the last exciting drop of Nokogiri. We've got a ton of bugfixes that you all

have been waiting desperately for.

Please note, particularly the peeps in JRubyland, that this is scheduled to be

the last point-release on the 1.4 branch. As we announced in June 2010, this

means we're discontinuing support for the FFI+LibXML codebase. It'll be Java all

the way down starting in 1.5.

Nokogiri (鋸) is an HTML, XML, SAX, and Reader parser.  Among Nokogiri's

many features is the ability to search documents via XPath or CSS3 selectors.

XML is like violence - if it doesn’t solve your problems, you are not using

enough of it.
