Changes in 0.10.2 (R20000724)
-----------------------------
- Support wide range of output encodings via wstring
- Updated conformance to 20000510 DOM CR
- Changed internals to use Node as the clone manager, using a pickle-
style interface.
- Changed many classes to be generated in the HTML Extension
- Other bug-fixes
Changes in 0.10.1 (R20000606)
-----------------------------
- Fix nasty character-encoding bugs in Printer
- Fixed many bugs in demos
- Fix Sax2 support for passed-in documents
- Other bug-fixes
Changes in 0.10.0 (R20000524)
-----------------------------
- Moved all static variables to class variables
- Fixed printing to work with empty elements
- Removed all tabs from files
- Change package to xml.dom
- major change to the internals to use Node as a Python attribute manager
this improves efficiency: cutting down on __g/setattrs__ and simplifies
some things
- Updated conformance to 19991210 DOM CR (yes, already out of date. Zut!)
- Many fixes to HTML output
- Support custom Documents in Sax2 reader
- Many other fixes to printing and reading
Changes in 0.9.3 (R20000216)
----------------------------
- Better UTF-8 handling in printing
- Clean up printer whitespace
- Fix nasty bug in Sax2 attribute namespace defaulting
- Other bug-fixes
Changes in 0.9.2 (R20000125)
----------------------------
- Major fixes to namespace code
- Other bug-fixes
Changes in 0.9.1 (R20000103)
----------------------------
- Fixed HTML reader
- Misc. Bug-Fixes
Note: There were numerous changes in untagged release 0.9.0,
including
- Major re-write to match the general consensus DOm binding for
Python. Code formerly in the form "node.getChildNodes()"
is now to be used in the form "node._get_childNodes()" or
simply "node.childNodes". Similarly "text.setData("spam")"
becomes "text._set_data("spam")" or text.data = "spam"
- Update to full Level 2 support in core and HTML, including
namespace-support.
- Many bug-fixes
Changes in 0.8.2 (R19991019)
----------------------------
- Create a Reader module under Ext for importing strings into 4DOM.
Builder is now deprecated and will disappear before version 1.0
o Reader has three drivers currently: Sax and HtmlLib are
just modularized versions of the functionality that was
formerly in Builder, and Sax2 is a driver for the
as-yet experimental SAX 2 specification.
- Fixed a Builder/Reader bug for HTML input and empty, unclosed tags
such as <br>
- Fixed a bug in text normalization
- Miscellaneous bug-fixes
Changes in 0.8.1 (R19990914)
----------------------------
- Added support for Dom Level 2 Core interfaces
- Added __repr__ to all Core interfaces
- Output character entities where appropriate in Printer.py
- Many bug-fixes to Printer.py
- Bug-fixes to attribute
- Modified Remote factory startup to use environment variables
Changes in 0.8.0 (R19990831)
----------------------------
- Major Changes to the organization and Module Namespace
o Top-level namespace is Ft.Dom to integrate with other
FourThought Packages
o Naming of Packages, Classes, Modules etc. has been normalized to
"camel-case" with abbreviations counted as word units, e.g.
XMLFooBarHTML -> XmlFooBarHtml
This normalization is not possible where W3C clashes, e.g.
HTMLElement remains as is.
o Simplified the access of Node constants, e.g. you can use
Ft.Dom.Node.ELEMENT_NODE rather than Ft.Dom.Dom.Node.ELEMENT_NODE
- Added extensions to support XML Namespaces (Ext.Namespace)
- Added UserList and UserDict interface to NodeList and NamedNodeMap,
allowing orbless or local code to use pythonic features such as
[], append(), len(), keys(), etc.
- Added better ILU Support
- Added support for xml:space and turned Ext.Strip into separate functions
for stripping HTML and XML.
- Fixed a problem with importing mis-matched HTML tags.
- Numerous minor bug fixes
Changes in 0.7.2 (R19990422)
----------------------------
- "orbless" is now the default target of the Makefile, so most users
can just type "make" once installed
- DListElement had been left out of the orbless configuration: fixed
- Removed the kludge for dynamic addition of tedious HTML Eement attributes
Changes in 0.7.1
-------------------------------
- Fixed "make orbless" to instruct the user what to add to PythonPath.
- Fixed bug in HTMLTable.getRows, and HTMLTableSection.getRows.
Before a call to these functions was using getElementsByTagName
to return a list of TR elements. This breaks when a table has
a table in one of it cells.
- Fixed index error in HTMLTable.insertRow
- Removed evals from PrettyPrinter
- Fixed index error in HTMLTableRow.insertCell
- Removed call to extension functions in PrettyPrinter
- Added XCatalog support, if available, to Builder.FromXML
- Changed SAX Handler class for Builder.FromXML to a parameter,
to allow input filters, etc.
- Changed Builder.FromXML to add the read-in tree to the created
document, if one is not given. If one is given, just return a
fragment, as in version 0.7.0.
- Added utility APIs to DOM.Ext.Builder:
o FromXMLStream
o FromXMLFile
o FromXMLURL
o FromHTMLFile
o FromHTMLStream
o FromHTMLURL
- Reduced the PrettyPrint indentation from a tab to two spaces.
Changes in 0.7.0 (R19990207)
----------------------------
- Added support for "orbless" configuration. Now neither ILU nor Fnorb
are requred and 4DOM can be run purely locally, but still with a
consistent interface. Naturally, the orbless config is much
faster than the ilu or fnorb configs.
- Many fixes to improve consistency over an ORB interface
(an example using an ORB has been added to demos).
- Fixes to NodeList and NamedNodeMap
- Added an Ext package for DOM extensions, and moved many of the
existing extensions there. See docs/Extensions.html.
- Added to Ext an extensive factory interface for creation of nodes,
consistent for local and ORB use.
- Added to Ext a ReleaseNode helper function to reclaim unused nodes,
necessary for ORB usage, and also for local usage because of
circular references.
- Added NodeIterators and Node Filters from DOM Level 2
- Added a visitor and walker system (to Ext). These generalize the
NodeIterator concept for cases where pre-order traversal is not
suitable: for instance printing.
- Removed the repr functions from Node interfaces in favor of print
walker/visitors.
- Added Print and PrettyPrint helper functions to Ext for printing
and pretty-printing node trees.
- Added Strip helper function to Ext to strip all ignorable
white-space text nodes from a node tree.
- Moved all tools to construct a DOM tree from XML and HTML text to
a Builder module in Ext, with two functions: FromXML and FromHTML.
- Added options to FromXML that allow specification of whether to keep
ignorable whitespce int he resultant node tree, and options on
whether to validate.
- Innumerable minor and miscellaneous fixes
Changes in 0.6.1 (R19981120)
----------------------------
- added ILU support with a series of kludges
(all designed to minimize effect on existing DOM code):
o Use ILU's python-stubber in makefile rather than fnidl
o python-stubber generates *IF__skel rather than fnidl's
*IF_skel, so copy the files so bother names are available.
o add config modules for DOM core and HTML, globally imported,
which creates dummy INTERFACENAME_skel classes because ILU
does not append "_skel" to skeleton class names as Fnorb
does: it uses module-scoping for the distinction.
o Add variables using Fnorb-style constant naming
(INTERFACENAME.CONSTANTNAME) to refer to the ILU-style
constants (INTERFACENAME_CONSTANTNAME)
o Brutally hack all 4DOM source files during make to change
Fnorb-style invocations for DOMException
(raise DOMException(EXCEPTNAME))
into ILU-style
(raise DOMException, DOMException__omgidl_exctype(EXCEPTNAME))
note that this series of kludges slows things down and adds some
bloat, but we plan to intelligently convert to better-considered
fixes in time. Also, there will be some degree of resolution between
Fnorb and ILU as the Python-CORBA mapping gets adopted, so let's
avoid baking any fixes prematurely into the code.
- added the #pragma prefix "fourthought.com" to all IDL files
- Document.repr() now includes the DOCTYPE
Version: 0.6.0 (R19981104)
--------------------------
- initial public release
