------

FULL CHANGELOG:

* Notes

  * Now requires libxml >= 2.6.21 (was previously >= 2.6.17).

* Features

  * Add cross building of fat binary gems for 64-Bit Windows (x64-mingw32)

    and add support for native builds on Windows. #864, #989, #1072

  * (MRI) Alias CP932 to Windows-31J if iconv does not support Windows-31J.

  * (MRI) Nokogiri now links packaged libraries statically.  To

    disable static linking, pass --disable-static to extconf.rb. #923

  * (MRI) Nokogiri automatically deletes directories of packaged

    libraries only used during build.  To keep them for debugging

    purposes, pass --disable-clean to extconf.rb. #952

  * (MRI) Nokogiri now builds libxml2 properly with iconv support on

    platforms where libiconv is installed outside the system default

    directories, such as FreeBSD.

  * Add support for an-b in nth selectors. #886 (Thanks, Magnus Bergmark!)

  * Add support for bare and multiple :not() functions in selectors. #887

    (Thanks, Magnus Bergmark!)

  * (MRI) Add an extconf.rb option --use-system-libraries, alternative to

    setting the environment variable NOKOGIRI_USE_SYSTEM_LIBRARIES.

  * (MRI) Update packaged libraries: libxslt to 1.1.28, zlib to 1.2.8,

    and libiconv to 1.14, respectively.

  * Nokogiri::HTML::Document#title= and #meta_encoding= now always add

    an element if not present, trying hard to find the best place to

    put it.

  * Nokogiri::XML::DTD#html_dtd? and #html5_dtd? are added.

  * Nokogiri::XML::Node#prepend_child is added. #664

  * Nokogiri::XML::SAX::ParserContext#recovery is added. #453

  * Allow Nokogiri::XML::Node#parse from unparented non-element nodes. #407

* Bugfixes

  * Ensure :only-child pseudo class works within :not pseudo class. #858

    (Thanks, Yamagishi Kazutoshi!)

  * Don't call pkg_config when using bundled libraries in extconf.rb

    #931 (Thanks, Shota Fukumori!)

  * Nokogiri.parse() does not mistake a non-HTML document like a RSS

    document as HTML document. #932 (Thanks, Yamagishi Kazutoshi!)

  * (JRuby) XSD validation crashes in Java version. #373

  * (JRuby) Document already has a root node error while using Builder. #646

  * (JRuby) c14n tests are all passing on JRuby. #226

  * Parsing empty documents raise SyntaxError in strict mode. #1005

  * (JRuby) Make xpath faster by caching the xpath context. #741
