[Htmlparser-developer] Integration Release Jun 30, 2002

[Somik R. <so...@ya...>]

Hi Folks,
    This week's integration release is out - you can get it from =
http://htmlparser.sourceforge.net.=20

    All test cases are passing. Couple of bugs fixed - some interesting =
bugs reported by Cedric Rosa (thanks Cedric).=20

    A major refactoring has come in - by which writing a scanner becomes =
easier. You dont have to worry about associating scanners with the tags =
they create. Its done thru a template method internally. Also, you dont =
need to worry about whether your tag has made a call to parseParameters. =
It is done automatically.   =20

    (Kaarle - about now, almost all the scanners are using =
parseParameters, thanks a lot for contributing that).

    For the next release, Claude Duguay will be collaborating closely =
with us - he has given some great suggestions and will be providing some =
code - he is going to help us get this parser into the professional =
league, and is currently doing scalability analysis on the parser (those =
on the user list would have already seen the analysis comparing swing =
and v1.1). We should have results on v1.2 soon from him. We should =
probably get 1.2 out in stable form after this collaboration. (Claude -- =
Thanks a ton)

    You can look forward to some exciting improvements in the coming =
weeks..

Cheers,
Somik
