jsoup version 1.2.1 released

2010-Jun-21 I am pleased to announce that jsoup version 1.2.1 is now available for download.

jsoup is a Java library for working with real-world HTML. It provides a very convenient API for extracting and manipulating data, using the best of DOM, CSS, and jquery-like methods.

What's new in this release

New features

• Added Element.before(String) and Element.after(String) methods to Element and Elements, to insert sibling HTML

• Added :contains(text) Selector, to search for elements containing the specified text

• Added :has(selector) Selector (issue #20)

• Added Element.parents() and Elements.parents() to retrieve an element's ancestor chain (issue #20)

Bug fixes

• Fixes an issue where appending / prepending rows to a table (or to similar implicit element structures) would create a redundant wrapping elements (issue #21)

• Improved implicit close tag heuristic detection when parsing malformed HTML

• Fixes an issue where text content after a script (or other data-node) was incorrectly added to the data node. (issue #22)

• Fixes an issue where text order was incorrect when parsing pre-document HTML. (issue #23)
