Beautiful Soup 4.12.3 has been released. This is a bugfix release intended to provide a stable stopping point for dependencies, since version 4.13.0 will include a large number of small changes.

4.12.3 will probably be the last version of Beautiful Soup to support Python 3.6.

Here's the full changelog:

= 4.12.3 (20240117)

* The Beautiful Soup documentation now has a Spanish translation, thanks
  to Carlos Romero. Delong Wang's Chinese translation has been updated
  to cover Beautiful Soup 4.12.0.

* Fixed a regression such that if you set .hidden on a tag, the tag
  becomes invisible but its contents are still visible. User manipulation
  of .hidden is not a documented or supported feature, so don't do this,
  but it wasn't too difficult to keep the old behavior working.

* Fixed a case found by Mengyuhan where html.parser giving up on
  markup would result in an AssertionError instead of a
  ParserRejectedMarkup exception.

* Added the correct stacklevel to instances of the XMLParsedAsHTMLWarning.
  [bug=2034451]

* Corrected the syntax of the license definition in pyproject.toml. Patch
  by Louis Maddox. [bug=2032848]

* Corrected a typo in a test that was causing test failures when run against
  libxml2 2.12.1. [bug=2045481]
