[Htmlparser-announce] Major Milestone: Integration Release 1.3-20030316 is out

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

Hi Folks,
    This is a major milestone release. A massive refactoring has been
completed (took two weeks) - which has brought all the robust error handling
cases into CompositeTagScanner. This means, all tags that have children will
be able to do error correction uniformly. Form tag (and table tags too)
should be robust.

    Table tags are not yet in the standard set of scanners (you still need
to add them manually). They should make the cut next week.
    We have a new method - registerDomScanners() in Parser - that allows you
to build html dom objects.

    Interesting fact, as a result of the refactorings, the LOC of the
scanners package has reduced from 1553 to 1355 (I was surprised at the
digits).

    Documentation has been updated - we've started putting up answers by our
list members to common questions. Pls feel free to update the Wiki and
improve it. No login is required.

    From the change log:

Integration build 1.3 - 20030316

[1] Added method finishedParsing() to NodeVisitor
[2] LinkScanner uses CompositeTagScanner.scan()
[3] BulletScanner added

    We highly recommend an upgrade to this version.

Regards,
Somik
