[Htmlparser-developer] Candidate 6 is out

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

Hi Folks,
    Candidate 6 is out, and there are some goodies in this one.. Thanks to
Derrick Oswald and Leslie Rohde (our two new developers) who have put in
their time.

From the Change Log :
Integration Build 1.2 - 20021215
--------------------------------
[1] Modified API of HTMLImageTag (refactored name of image loc), HTMLLinkTag
(added getters)
[2] Fixed bug 650457 - removeEscapeCharacters() incorrect
[3] Fixed bug 652263 - HTMLParser and null feedback
[4] Changed encoding used from 8859_4 to 8859_1
[5] HTMLRemarkNode returns string data in toPlainTextString() (This is a
rollback)
[6] Fixed bug 652746 - HTMLFormTag gets links correctly now
[7] Fixed bug 653720 - HTMLNode uses sun specific class
[8] Improved StringExtractor parser application
[9] Major design improvement, implemented Collection-Parameter pattern - in
HTMLNode.collectInto()
[10] Fixed reset crash bug. Reader providers have to explicitly call mark
and reset now. This is
now documented in HTMLParser.java.
[11] Fixed bug 649269 in HTMLLinkTag.isHttpLink(), now correctly identifies
relative links as Http
links.

A major API improvement has occurred - HTMLNode now has a new method -
collectInto(), which uses a collection parameter to collect nodes. A sample
program demonstrating this feature is at :
http://htmlparser.sourceforge.net/samples/linksEmbedded.html

Thanks to everyone who participated in the discussions and architecture
changes. There has been a rollback as well, we've taken out the mark and
reset mechanism, and this is now the responsibility of the reader supplier.

Cheers,
Somik
