Changes for version 4.901 - 2012-06-06

  • Trial Release by Christopher J. Madsen
    • THINGS THAT MAY BREAK YOUR CODE OR TESTS
      • new_from_file now dies if the file cannot be opened. $! records the specific problem. (Previously, you got a tree with a few implicit elements.)
      • Some methods normally returning a scalar could return the empty list in certain circumstances. This has been corrected. The affected methods are: address, deobjectify_text, detach, is_inside, & pindex.
    • FIXES
      • new_from_url did not call eof after parsing
    • DOCUMENTATION
      • Improve SEE ALSO for HTML::TreeBuilder
      • General documentation cleanup
