<h1>6.0.0 (2025-06-26)</h1>

<h2>Features added</h2>
<ul class="simple">
<li><a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/lxml/lxml/issues/463">GH#463</a>: <tt class="docutils literal">lxml.html.diff</tt> is faster and provides structurally better diffs.
Original patch by Steven Fernandez.</li>
<li><a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/lxml/lxml/issues/405">GH#405</a>: The factories <tt class="docutils literal">Element</tt> and <tt class="docutils literal">ElementTree</tt> can now be used in type hints.</li>
<li><a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/lxml/lxml/issues/448">GH#448</a>: Parsing from <tt class="docutils literal">memoryview</tt> and other buffers is supported to allow zero-copy parsing.</li>
<li><a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/lxml/lxml/issues/437">GH#437</a>: <tt class="docutils literal">lxml.html.builder</tt> was missing several HTML5 tag names.
Patch by Nick Tarleton.</li>
<li><a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/lxml/lxml/issues/458">GH#458</a>: <tt class="docutils literal">CDATA</tt> can now be written into the incremental <tt class="docutils literal">xmlfile()</tt> writer.
Original patch by Lane Shaw.</li>
<li>A new parser option <tt class="docutils literal">decompress=False</tt> 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.</li>
<li>The set of compile time / runtime supported libxml2 feature names is available as
<tt class="docutils literal">etree.LIBXML_COMPILED_FEATURES</tt> and <tt class="docutils literal">etree.LIBXML_FEATURES</tt>.
This currently includes
<tt class="docutils literal">catalog</tt>, <tt class="docutils literal">ftp</tt>, <tt class="docutils literal">html</tt>, <tt class="docutils literal">http</tt>, <tt class="docutils literal">iconv</tt>, <tt class="docutils literal">icu</tt>,
<tt class="docutils literal">lzma</tt>, <tt class="docutils literal">regexp</tt>, <tt class="docutils literal">schematron</tt>, <tt class="docutils literal">xmlschema</tt>, <tt class="docutils literal">xpath</tt>, <tt class="docutils literal">zlib</tt>.</li>

Original patch by Luise K.</li>
<li><a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/lxml/lxml/issues/272">GH#272</a>: The <tt class="docutils literal">head</tt> and <tt class="docutils literal">body</tt> properties of <tt class="docutils literal">lxml.html</tt> elements failed if no such element

Original patch by FVolral.</li>

could be truncated or mishandled in other ways.</li>

<h2>Other changes</h2>
<ul>
<li><p class="first">Support for Python < 3.8 was removed.</p>
</li>
<li><p class="first">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.</p>
<p>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 <tt class="docutils literal">"zlib" in etree.LIBXML_FEATURES</tt>.</p>
</li>
<li><p class="first">The <tt class="docutils literal">Schematron</tt> 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.</p>
</li>
<li><p class="first"><a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/lxml/lxml/issues/438">GH#438</a>: Wheels include the <tt class="docutils literal">arm7l</tt> target.</p>
</li>
<li><p class="first"><a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/lxml/lxml/issues/465">GH#465</a>: Windows wheels include the <tt class="docutils literal">arm64</tt> target.
Patch by Finn Womack.</p>
</li>
<li><p class="first">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 <tt class="docutils literal">"http" in etree.LIBXML_FEATURES</tt>.</p>
</li>
<li><p class="first">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.</p>
</li>
<li><p class="first">Built using Cython 3.1.2.</p>
</li>
<li><p class="first">The debug methods <tt class="docutils literal">MemDebug.dump()</tt> and <tt class="docutils literal">MemDebug.show()</tt> were removed completely.
libxml2 2.13.0 discarded this feature.</p>

<li><p class="first"><a class="reference external" href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/lxml/+bug/1742885">LP#1742885</a>: 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
<tt class="docutils literal">resolve_entities=True</tt>. The new default is <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">resolve_entities='internal'</span></tt>.</p>
</li>
<li><p class="first">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 <tt class="docutils literal">nsmap</tt> but considers the <tt class="docutils literal">prefix:name</tt> 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.</p>
<p>lxml 5.0 does not try to hide this difference but now changes the ElementPath
implementation to let <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">element.find("part1:part2")</span></tt> search for the tag
<tt class="docutils literal">part1:part2</tt> in documents parsed as HTML, instead of looking only for <tt class="docutils literal">part2</tt>.</p>

discard the RNG validation schema file due to licensing issues. The validation
can now always be disabled with <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Schematron(...,</span> validate_schema=False)</tt>.
It is enabled by default if available and disabled otherwise. The module

<li>The code base was overhauled to properly use 'const' where the API
of libxml2 and libxslt requests it. This also has an impact on the
public C-API of lxml itself, as defined in <tt class="docutils literal">etreepublic.pxd</tt>, as
well as the provided declarations in the <tt class="docutils literal">lxml/includes/</tt> directory.
Code that uses these declarations may have to be adapted. On the
plus side, this fixes several C compiler warnings, also for user
code, thus making it easier to spot real problems again.</li>
<li>The functionality of "lxml.cssselect" was moved into a separate PyPI
package called "cssselect". To continue using it, you must install
that package separately. The "lxml.cssselect" module is still
available and provides the same interface, provided the "cssselect"
package can be imported at runtime.</li>
<li>Element attributes passed in as an <tt class="docutils literal">attrib</tt> dict or as keyword
arguments are now sorted by (namespaced) name before being created
to make their order predictable for serialisation and iteration.
Note that adding or deleting attributes afterwards does not take
that order into account, i.e. setting a new attribute appends it
after the existing ones.</li>
<li>Several classes that are for internal use only were removed
from the <tt class="docutils literal">lxml.etree</tt> module dict:
<tt class="docutils literal">_InputDocument, _ResolverRegistry, _ResolverContext, _BaseContext,

<li>Export ElementTree compatible XML parser class as
<tt class="docutils literal">XMLTreeBuilder</tt>, as it is called in ET 1.2.</li>
<li>ObjectifiedDataElements in lxml.objectify were not hashable. They
now use the hash value of the underlying Python value (string,
number, etc.) to which they compare equal.</li>
<li>Parsing broken fragments in lxml.html could fail if the fragment
contained an orphaned closing '</div>' tag.</li>
<li>Using XSLT extension elements around the root of the output document
crashed.</li>
<li><tt class="docutils literal">lxml.cssselect</tt> did not distinguish between <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">x[attr="val"]</span></tt> and
<tt class="docutils literal">x <span class="pre">[attr="val"]</span></tt> (with a space). The latter now matches the
attribute independent of the element.</li>
<li>Rewriting multiple links inside of HTML text content could end up
replacing unrelated content as replacements could impact the
reported position of subsequent matches. Modifications are now
simplified by letting the <tt class="docutils literal">iterlinks()</tt> generator in <tt class="docutils literal">lxml.html</tt>
return links in reversed order if they appear inside the same text
node. Thus, replacements and link-internal modifications no longer
change the position of links reported afterwards.</li>
<li>The <tt class="docutils literal">.value</tt> attribute of <tt class="docutils literal">textarea</tt> elements in lxml.html did
not represent the complete raw value (including child tags etc.). It
now serialises the complete content on read and replaces the
complete content by a string on write.</li>
<li>Target parser didn't call <tt class="docutils literal">.close()</tt> on the target object if
parsing failed. Now it is guaranteed that <tt class="docutils literal">.close()</tt> will be
called after parsing, regardless of the outcome.</li>

<li>Minor performance tweaks for Element instantiation and subelement
creation</li>
<li>Various places in the XPath, XSLT and iteration APIs now require
keyword-only arguments.</li>
<li>The argument order in <tt class="docutils literal">element.itersiblings()</tt> was changed to
match the order used in all other iteration methods. The second
argument ('preceding') is now a keyword-only argument.</li>
<li>The <tt class="docutils literal">getiterator()</tt> method on Elements and ElementTrees was
reverted to return an iterator as it did in lxml 1.x. The ET API
specification allows it to return either a sequence or an iterator,
and it traditionally returned a sequence in ET and an iterator in
lxml. However, it is now deprecated in favour of the <tt class="docutils literal">iter()</tt>
method, which should be used in new code wherever possible.</li>
<li>The 'pretty printed' serialisation of ElementTree objects now
inserts newlines at the root level between processing instructions,
comments and the root tag.</li>
<li>A 'pretty printed' serialisation is now terminated with a newline.</li>

required, third argument is now a keyword-only argument <tt class="docutils literal">ns</tt>.</li>
<li><tt class="docutils literal">lxml.html.tostring</tt> takes an <tt class="docutils literal">encoding</tt> argument.</li>
<li>The module source files were renamed to "lxml.*.pyx", such as
"lxml.etree.pyx". This was changed for consistency with the way
Pyrex commonly handles package imports. The main effect is that
classes now know about their fully qualified class name, including
the package name of their module.</li>
<li>Keyword-only arguments in some API functions, especially in the
parsers and serialisers.</li>
<li>Tag name validation in lxml.etree (and lxml.html) now distinguishes
between HTML tags and XML tags based on the parser that was used to
parse or create them. HTML tags no longer reject any non-ASCII
characters in tag names but only spaces and the special characters
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre"><>&/"'</span></tt>.</li>
<li>lxml.etree now emits a warning if you use XPath with libxml2 2.6.27
(which can crash on certain XPath errors)</li>
<li>Type annotation in objectify now preserves the already annotated type by
default to prevent losing type information that is already there.</li>
<li><tt class="docutils literal">element.getiterator()</tt> returns a list, use <tt class="docutils literal">element.iter()</tt> to retrieve
an iterator (ElementTree 1.3 compatible behaviour)</li>
<li>objectify.PyType for None is now called "NoneType"</li>
<li><tt class="docutils literal">el.getiterator()</tt> renamed to <tt class="docutils literal">el.iter()</tt>, following ElementTree 1.3 -
original name is still available as alias</li>

generic <tt class="docutils literal">findOrBuildNodeNsPrefix</tt></li>

misuse the previous lack of tag name validation to generate namespace
prefixes without declaring namespaces. Apart from the danger of generating
broken XML this way, it also breaks most of the namespace-aware tools in
XML, including XPath, XSLT and validation. lxml 1.3.x will continue to
support this bug with a Warning, while lxml 2.0 will be strict about

<ul class="simple">
<li>Support for copy.deepcopy() on elements. copy.copy() works also, but
does the same thing, and does <em>not</em> create a shallow copy, as that
makes no sense in the context of libxml2 trees. This means a
potential incompatibility with ElementTree, but there's more chance
that it works than if copy.copy() isn't supported at all.</li>
<li>Increased compatibility with (c)ElementTree; .parse() on ElementTree is
supported and parsing of gzipped XML files works.</li>
<li>implemented index() on elements, allowing one to find the index of a
SubElement.</li>

but an AssertionError.</li>

syntax errors. This should be less confusing.</li>

<h2>Features added</h2>
<ul class="simple">
<li>parameters (XPath expressions) can be passed to XSLT using keyword
parameters.</li>
<li>Simple XInclude support. Calling the xinclude() method on a tree
will process any XInclude statements in the document.</li>
<li>XMLSchema support. Use the XMLSchema class or the convenience
xmlschema() method on a tree to do XML Schema (XSD) validation.</li>
<li>Added convenience xslt() method on tree. This is less efficient
than the XSLT object, but makes it easier to write quick code.</li>
<li>Added convenience relaxng() method on tree. This is less efficient
than the RelaxNG object, but makes it easier to write quick code.</li>
<li>Make it possible to use XPathEvaluator with elements as well. The
XPathEvaluator in this case will retain the element so multiple
XPath queries can be made against one element efficiently. This
replaces the second argument to the .evaluate() method that existed
previously.</li>
<li>Allow registerNamespace() to be called on an XPathEvaluator, after
creation, to add additional namespaces. Also allow registerNamespaces(),
which does the same for a namespace dictionary.</li>
<li>Add 'prefix' attribute to element to be able to read prefix information.
This is entirely read-only.</li>
<li>It is possible to supply an extra nsmap keyword parameter to
the Element() and SubElement() constructors, which supplies a
prefix to namespace URI mapping. This will create namespace
prefix declarations on these elements and these prefixes will show up
in XML serialization.</li>

<h2>Bugs fixed</h2>
<ul class="simple">
<li>Killed yet another memory management related bug: trees created
using newDoc would not get a libxml2-level dictionary, which caused
problems when deallocating these documents later if they contained a
node that came from a document with a dictionary.</li>
<li>Moving namespaced elements between documents was problematic as
references to the original document would remain. This has been fixed
by applying xmlReconciliateNs() after each move operation.</li>
<li>Can pass None to 'dump()' without segfaults.</li>
<li>tostring() works properly for non-root elements as well.</li>
<li>Cleaned out the tostring() method so it should handle encoding
correctly.</li>
<li>Cleaned out the ElementTree.write() method so it should handle encoding
correctly. Writing directly to a file should also be faster, as there is no
need to go through a Python string in that case. Made sure the test cases
test both serializing to StringIO as well as serializing to a real file.</li>
