Release 0.67. Just changes to HTML::Element...
Introduced look_up and look_down. Thanks to the folks on the
libwww list for helping me find the right form for that idea.
Deprecated find_by_attribute
Doc typo fixed: at one point in the discussion of "consolidating
text", I said push_content('Skronk') when I meant
unshift_content('Skronk'). Thanks to Richard Y. Kim (ryk@coho.net)
for pointing this out.
Added left() and right() methods.
Made address([address]) accept relative addresses (".3.0.1")
Added content_array_ref and content_refs_list.
Added a bit more clarification to bits of the Element docs here and there.
Made find_by_tag_name work iteratively now, for speed.

Release 0.66
Noting my new email address.
Fixed bug in HTML::Element::detach_content -- it would return
empty-list, instead of returing the nodes detached.
Fixed big in HTML::Element::replace_with_content -- it would
accidentally completely kill the parent's content list!
Thanks to Reinier Post and others for spotting this error.
Fixed big in HTML::Element::replace_with -- it put replacers
in the content list of of the new parent, !but! forgot to update
each replacer's _parent attribute.
Thanks to Matt Sisk for spotting this error.

Release 0.65
Important additions to HTML::Element :
Totally reimplemented the traverse() method, and added features,
now providing a somewhat-new interface. It's still
backwards-compatible both syntactically and semantically.
Added methods: content_list, detach_content, replace_linkage,
normalize_content, preinsert, postinsert, and has_insane_linkage.
$h->attr('foo', undef) now actually deletes the attribute
'foo' from $h, instead of setting it to undef. Hopefully
this won't break any existing code!
Rearranged the order of some sections in the Element docs
for purely pedagogical reasons.
Bugfix: $tree->clone failed to delete the internal
_head and _body attributes of the clone (used by TreeBuilder),
$tree->clone->delete ended up deleting most/all of the original!
Fixed. Added cavets to the docs warning against cloning
TreeBuilder objects that are in mid-parse (not that I think most
users are exactly rushing to do this).
Thanks to Bob Glickstein for finding and reporting this bug.
Added some regression/sanity tests in t/
A bit more sanity checking in TreeBuilder: checks for _head and
_body before including it.
Modded TreeBuilder's calls to traverse() to be use new [sub{...},0]
calling syntax, for sake of efficiency.
Added some undocumented and experimental code in Element and
TreeBuilder for using HTML::Element objects to represent
comments, PIs, declarations, and "literals".

Release 0.64
Bugfix: $element->replace_with_content() would cause
a fatal error if any of $element's content nodes were
text segments. Fixed.
2000-03-08 Sean M. Burke <sburke@netadventure.net>
Release 0.63
Fixed a typo in the SYNOPSIS of TreeBuilder.pm: I had "->destroy" for
"->delete"!
Added $element->clone and HTML::Element->clone_list(nodes) methods,
as Marek Rouchal very helpfully suggested.
$tree->as_HTML can now indent, hopefully properly. The logic to do
so is pretty frightening, and regrettably doesn't wrap, and it's
not obvious how to make it capable of doing so.
$tree->as_text can now take a 'skip_dels' parameter.
Added $h->same_as($j) method.
Added $h->all_attr method.
Added $h->new_from_lol constructor method.

Release 0.62
Incremented HTML::AsSubs version to 1.13, and HTML::Parse version
to 2.7, to avoid version confusion with the old (<0.60) HTML-Tree
dist.
Re-simplified the options to HTML::Element::traverse, removing the
verbose_for_text option. (The behavior that it turned on, is now
always on; this should not cause any problems with any existing
code.)
Fixed HTML::Element::delete_content, and made an
HTML::TreeBuilder::delete to override it for TreeBuilder nodes,
which have their own special attributes.
HTML::Element::find_by_attribute, find_by_attribute, and get_attr_i
now behave differently in scalar context, if you're the sort that
likes context on method calls. HTML::Element::descendant is now
optimized in scalar context.
Fixed up some of the reporting of lineages in some $Debug-triggered
messages.
Fixed minor bug in updating pos when a text node under HTML
implicates BODY (and maybe P).
You should not use release 0.61

Release 0.61
Versions in this dist:
HTML::Parse: 2.6
HTML::TreeBuilder: 2.91
HTML::Element: 1.44
HTML::AsSubs: 1.12
No longer including the Formatter modules.
Lots of new methods and changes in HTML::Element; reorganized docs.
Added new HTML tags to HTML::Element's and HTML::TreeBuilder's
internal tables.
Reworked the logic in HTML::TreeBuilder. Previous versions dealt
badly with tables, and attempts to enforce content-model rules
occasionally went quite awry. This new version is much less
agressive about content-model rules, and works on the principle
that if the HTML source is cock-eyed, there's limits to what can be
done to keep the syntax tree from being cock-eyed.
HTML::TreeBuilder now also tries to ignore ignorable whitespace.
The resulting parse trees often have half (or fewer) the number of
nodes, without all the ignorable " " nodes like before.
