PHP Simple HTML DOM Parser 1.7

PHP Simple HTML DOM Parser 1.7 is now officially available at https://sourceforge.net/projects/simplehtmldom/files/simplehtmldom/1.7/

This release introduces bug fixes to the DOM parser and most importantly makes the project compatible to the most recent release of PHP 7.3, for which compatibility issues have been reported!

Most notable changes:

• Compatible to PHP 7.3+
• Major performance improvement of about 30% for the parser alone!
• Improved handling of void tags and optional closing tags
• Lots of bug fixes for the parser (selectors will be targeted in the next release)
• Unit tests for reported bugs, using PHPUnit (so you can perform tests on your own fork now!)

The changelog for this version is attached to the release, so check it out!

If you find any issues with this release, don't hesitate to open a bug report or even a merge request!

As mentioned above, selectors will be targeted in the next release. First and foremost by fixing bugs reported in the past. Don't hesitate to report your own bugs or improvements, so the project can evolve even more!
