[Htmlparser-developer] Candidate 5 is out

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

Hi Folks,
    This week's release is Candidate 5. We've had talented developers
joining us over the weekend, hence, you can expect improvements in quality
in the coming weeks. Hopefully, we should have our production release ready
by New Year's...

From the change log :
Integration Build 1.2 - 20021208
---------------------------------
[1] Fixed bug in base href scanner - would always expect href
[2] Refactored HTMLFormScanner
[3] Refactored HTMLRenderer to use the Visitor pattern- enabling
connections with links and images
[4] HTMLStringNode returns a blank string in toPlainTextString()
[5] HTMLFormTag returns string information in toPlainTextString()

#5 is an important fix as now, we wont lose any meaningful string info
contained inside forms when we issue calls like node.toPlainTextString().

The site update is continuing at an even pace. There is a new section on
writing tests for HTMLParser. We're also trying to introduce a philosophy
called "Communicate with TestCases". If you've found a bug, write a testcase
for it, and submit that in your report. Of course, you dont have to do this,
but if you do, we'd be able to make the fix much faster (and motivated to
make the fix). Writing a testcase for the parser is super simple - you can
check the philosophy and an example on the documentation page.
