Log Message:
Update to 4.3.2:

= 4.3.2 (20131002) =

* Fixed a bug in which short Unicode input was improperly encoded to
  ASCII when checking whether or not it was the name of a file on
  disk. [bug=1227016]

* Fixed a crash when a short input contains data not valid in
  filenames. [bug=1232604]

* Fixed a bug that caused Unicode data put into UnicodeDammit to
  return None instead of the original data. [bug=1214983]

* Combined two tests to stop a spurious test failure when tests are
  run by nosetests. [bug=1212445]

= 4.3.1 (20130815) =

* Fixed yet another problem with the html5lib tree builder, caused by
  html5lib's tendency to rearrange the tree during
  parsing. [bug=1189267]

* Fixed a bug that caused the optimized version of find_all() to
  return nothing. [bug=1212655]

= 4.3.0 (20130812) =

* Instead of converting incoming data to Unicode and feeding it to the
  lxml tree builder in chunks, Beautiful Soup now makes successive
  guesses at the encoding of the incoming data, and tells lxml to
  parse the data as that encoding. Giving lxml more control over the
  parsing process improves performance and avoids a number of bugs and
  issues with the lxml parser which had previously required elaborate
  workarounds:

  - An issue in which lxml refuses to parse Unicode strings on some
    systems. [bug=1180527]

  - A returning bug that truncated documents longer than a (very
    small) size. [bug=963880]

  - A returning bug in which extra spaces were added to a document if
    the document defined a charset other than UTF-8. [bug=972466]

  This required a major overhaul of the tree builder architecture. If
  you wrote your own tree builder and didn't tell me, you'll need to
  modify your prepare_markup() method.

* The UnicodeDammit code that makes guesses at encodings has been
  split into its own class, EncodingDetector. A lot of apparently
  redundant code has been removed from Unicode, Dammit, and some
  undocumented features have also been removed.

* Beautiful Soup will issue a warning if instead of markup you pass it
  a URL or the name of a file on disk (a common beginner's mistake).

* A number of optimizations improve the performance of the lxml tree
  builder by about 33%, the html.parser tree builder by about 20%, and
  the html5lib tree builder by about 15%.

* All find_all calls should now return a ResultSet object. Patch by
  Aaron DeVore. [bug=1194034]

= 4.2.1 (20130531) =

* The default XML formatter will now replace ampersands even if they
  appear to be part of entities. That is, "<" will become
  "<". The old code was left over from Beautiful Soup 3, which
  didn't always turn entities into Unicode characters.

  If you really want the old behavior (maybe because you add new
  strings to the tree, those strings include entities, and you want
  the formatter to leave them alone on output), it can be found in
  EntitySubstitution.substitute_xml_containing_entities(). [bug=1182183]

* Gave new_string() the ability to create subclasses of
  NavigableString. [bug=1181986]

* Fixed another bug by which the html5lib tree builder could create a
  disconnected tree. [bug=1182089]

* The .previous_element of a BeautifulSoup object is now always None,
  not the last element to be parsed. [bug=1182089]

* Fixed test failures when lxml is not installed. [bug=1181589]

* html5lib now supports Python 3. Fixed some Python 2-specific
  code in the html5lib test suite. [bug=1181624]

* The html.parser treebuilder can now handle numeric attributes in
  text when the hexidecimal name of the attribute starts with a
  capital X. Patch by Tim Shirley. [bug=1186242]

= 4.2.0 (20130514) =

* The Tag.select() method now supports a much wider variety of CSS
  selectors.

 - Added support for the adjacent sibling combinator (+) and the
   general sibling combinator (~). Tests by "liquider". [bug=1082144]

 - The combinators (>, +, and ~) can now combine with any supported
   selector, not just one that selects based on tag name.

 - Added limited support for the "nth-of-type" pseudo-class. Code
   by Sven Slootweg. [bug=1109952]

* The BeautifulSoup class is now aliased to "_s" and "_soup", making
  it quicker to type the import statement in an interactive session:

  from bs4 import _s
   or
  from bs4 import _soup

  The alias may change in the future, so don't use this in code you're
  going to run more than once.

* Added the 'diagnose' submodule, which includes several useful
  functions for reporting problems and doing tech support.

  - diagnose(data) tries the given markup on every installed parser,
    reporting exceptions and displaying successes. If a parser is not
    installed, diagnose() mentions this fact.

  - lxml_trace(data, html=True) runs the given markup through lxml's
    XML parser or HTML parser, and prints out the parser events as
    they happen. This helps you quickly determine whether a given
    problem occurs in lxml code or Beautiful Soup code.

  - htmlparser_trace(data) is the same thing, but for Python's
    built-in HTMLParser class.

* In an HTML document, the contents of a <script> or <style> tag will
  no longer undergo entity substitution by default. XML documents work
  the same way they did before. [bug=1085953]

* Methods like get_text() and properties like .strings now only give
  you strings that are visible in the document--no comments or
  processing commands. [bug=1050164]

* The prettify() method now leaves the contents of <pre> tags
  alone. [bug=1095654]

* Fix a bug in the html5lib treebuilder which sometimes created
  disconnected trees. [bug=1039527]

* Fix a bug in the lxml treebuilder which crashed when a tag included
  an attribute from the predefined "xml:" namespace. [bug=1065617]

* Fix a bug by which keyword arguments to find_parent() were not
  being passed on. [bug=1126734]

* Stop a crash when unwisely messing with a tag that's been
  decomposed. [bug=1097699]

* Now that lxml's segfault on invalid doctype has been fixed, fixed a
  corresponding problem on the Beautiful Soup end that was previously
  invisible. [bug=984936]

* Fixed an exception when an overspecified CSS selector didn't match
  anything. Code by Stefaan Lippens. [bug=1168167]

= 4.1.3 (20120820) =

* Skipped a test under Python 2.6 and Python 3.1 to avoid a spurious
  test failure caused by the lousy HTMLParser in those
  versions. [bug=1038503]

* Raise a more specific error (FeatureNotFound) when a requested
  parser or parser feature is not installed. Raise NotImplementedError
  instead of ValueError when the user calls insert_before() or
  insert_after() on the BeautifulSoup object itself. Patch by Aaron
  Devore. [bug=1038301]

= 4.1.2 (20120817) =

* As per PEP-8, allow searching by CSS class using the 'class_'
  keyword argument. [bug=1037624]

* Display namespace prefixes for namespaced attribute names, instead of
  the fully-qualified names given by the lxml parser. [bug=1037597]

* Fixed a crash on encoding when an attribute name contained
  non-ASCII characters.

* When sniffing encodings, if the cchardet library is installed,
  Beautiful Soup uses it instead of chardet. cchardet is much
  faster. [bug=1020748]

* Use logging.warning() instead of warning.warn() to notify the user
  that characters were replaced with REPLACEMENT
  CHARACTER. [bug=1013862]

= 4.1.1 (20120703) =

* Fixed an html5lib tree builder crash which happened when html5lib
  moved a tag with a multivalued attribute from one part of the tree
  to another. [bug=1019603]

* Correctly display closing tags with an XML namespace declared. Patch
  by Andreas Kostyrka. [bug=1019635]

* Fixed a typo that made parsing significantly slower than it should
  have been, and also waited too long to close tags with XML
  namespaces. [bug=1020268]

* get_text() now returns an empty Unicode string if there is no text,
  rather than an empty bytestring. [bug=1020387]

= 4.1.0 (20120529) =

* Added experimental support for fixing Windows-1252 characters
  embedded in UTF-8 documents. (UnicodeDammit.detwingle())

* Fixed the handling of &quot; with the built-in parser. [bug=993871]

* Comments, processing instructions, document type declarations, and
  markup declarations are now treated as preformatted strings, the way
  CData blocks are. [bug=1001025]

* Fixed a bug with the lxml treebuilder that prevented the user from
  adding attributes to a tag that didn't originally have
  attributes. [bug=1002378] Thanks to Oliver Beattie for the patch.

* Fixed some edge-case bugs having to do with inserting an element
  into a tag it's already inside, and replacing one of a tag's
  children with another. [bug=997529]

* Added the ability to search for attribute values specified in UTF-8. 
[bug=1003974]

  This caused a major refactoring of the search code. All the tests
  pass, but it's possible that some searches will behave differently.
