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.

==== Security Note

A set of security and bugfix patches have been backported from the libxml2 and libxslt repositories onto the version of 2.8.0 packaged with Nokogiri, including these notable security fixes:

* https://git.gnome.org/browse/libxml2/commit/?id=4629ee02ac649c27f9c0cf98ba017c6b5526070f

* CVE-2013-2877 https://git.gnome.org/browse/libxml2/commit/?id=e50ba8164eee06461c73cd8abb9b46aa0be81869

* CVE-2014-0191 https://git.gnome.org/browse/libxml2/commit/?id=9cd1c3cfbd32655d60572c0a413e017260c854df

It is recommended that you upgrade from 1.6.x to this version as soon as possible.

==== Compatibility Note

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) Fix a library path (LIBPATH) precedence problem caused by CRuby bug #9760.

* (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

* Fix documentation for XML::Node#namespace. #803 #802 (Thanks, Hoylen Sue)

* 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!)

* (MRI) Perform a node type check before adding a child node to another. Previously adding a text node to another as a child could cause a SEGV. #1092

* (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

* (JRuby) XML SAX push parser leaks memory on JRuby, but not on MRI. #998

* (JRuby) Inconsistent behavior aliasing the default namespace. #940

* (JRuby) Inconsistent behavior between parsing and adding namespaces. #943

* (JRuby) Xpath returns inconsistent result set on cloned document with namespaces and attributes. #1034

* (JRuby) Java-Implementation forgets element namespaces #902

* (JRuby) JRuby-Nokogiri does not recognise attributes inside namespaces #1081

* (JRuby) JRuby-Nokogiri has different comment node name #1080

* (JRuby) JAXPExtensionsProvider / Java 7 / Secure Processing #1070
