  38       Version 2.1.2 is a mix of experimental features and stability updates.
  39       Among new features: an Object module for trusted users, support for the
  40       CSS property 'border-spacing', and HTML 5 style parsing using PH5P.
  41       Bug fixes ihave resolved a few obscure issues including <code>border-collapse:seperate</code>,
  42       a DirectLex parsing error, broken HTML in printDefinition.php, and problems
  43       with the experimental standalone distribution. Also, there were large
  44       amounts of behind-the-scenes refactoring and the removal of URIScheme
  45       inclusion reflection.
  46     </p>
  47     <p>
  48       The new PH5P feature is especially exciting, and can be tested at
  49       the <a href="demo.php?experimental=1">demo with the experimental flag</a>.
  50       You can enable it using:
  51     </p>
  52 <pre>require_once 'HTMLPurifier/Lexer/PH5P.php';
  53 $config->set('Core', 'LexerImpl', 'PH5P');</pre>
  54     <p>
  55       Be sure to report bugs! And of course,
  56       see <a href="http://htmlpurifier.org/svnroot/htmlpurifier/tags/2.1.2/NEWS">NEWS</a>

  68       It looks like I'm going to have to start making release candidates
  69       before I release new major versions.  There were three show-stopper
  70       bugs for version 2.1.0:
  71     </p>
  72     <ul>
  73       <li>
  74         The <abbr>PHP</abbr>5-strict version was missing a lot of new
  75         features due to a botched merge, making it functionally equivalent
  76         to the previous 2.0.1 release.
  77       </li>
  78       <li>
  79         The new %URI.MakeAbsolute feature, the flagship of the new URI
  80         system, just didn't work due to a slight misordering of two
  81         method calls.
  82       </li>
  83       <li>
  84         The new standalone distribution did not work on <abbr>PHP</abbr>4
  85         because a <abbr>PHP</abbr>5 specific file was inlined, resulting
  86         in a parse error.
  87       </li>
  88     </ul>
  89     <p>
  90       All of these issues have been fixed and our release strategy has been
  91       amended to ensure that it does not happen again. See <a
  92       href="http://htmlpurifier.org/svnroot/htmlpurifier/tags/2.1.1/NEWS">NEWS</a>
  93       for a complete changelog, though not much else changed in this version.

 104 In version 2.1, HTML Purifier's URI validation and filtering handling
 105 system has been revamped with a <a href="docs/enduser-uri-filter.html">new, extensible URIFilter system</a>. Also
 106 notable features include preservation of emoticons in PHP5 with
 107 <a href="live/configdoc/plain.html#Core.AggressivelyFixLt">%Core.AggressivelyFixLt</a>, standalone and lite download versions,
 108 <del>transforming relative URIs to absolute URIs</del>, Ruby in XHTML 1.1 and UTF-8 font
 109 names.  Notable bug-fixes include refinement of
 110 the auto-paragraphing algorithm (no longer experimental), better XHTML
 111 1.1 support and the removal of the contents of <code>&lt;style&gt;</code> elements.
 112     </p>
 113     <p>
 114       <strong>Update:</strong> It has come to my attention that there is
 115       a bug with the %URI.MakeAbsolute functionality; apply
 116       <a href="http://htmlpurifier.org/phorum/read.php?3,573,574#msg-574">a patch</a>

 150       policy for support for <abbr>PHP</abbr>4. In brief, this means on
 151       December 31, 2007, HTML Purifier will transition to a
 152       <abbr>PHP</abbr>5-only codebase, and no more features will be
 153       added to the <abbr>PHP</abbr>4 version. Critical security fixes
 154       will be issued until August 8, 2008, at which time all support for

 170       It's been a real exciting month for HTML Purifier.  The publicity
 171       blitz following HTML Purifier 2.0 doubled our site traffic, and
 172       for a brief time we hit the front page on del.icio.us (that nearly
 173       tripled our bookmarks). Thank you all who blogged or told your

 206       no new features, and virtually no support on the forums. I'll attempt

 208       but don't expect any miracles.</del> <del><strong>Update:</strong>
 209       Situation has changed: I will have reasonable amounts of Internet

 212       patches, I will be able to help folks out on the forums.</del>

 224 The 2.0.1 release introduces a number of stability and usability fixes,
 225 as well as a number of (disabled by default) experimental features.  The
 226 security-minded should note that a reflected XSS vulnerability was patched
 227 in <code>smoketests/configForm.php</code>; if you cannot upgrade immediately, please
 228 delete that file (if that directory is not publically accessible, there
 229 is no security risk).  The maintenance changes include more helpful file
 230 permissions errors, internal newline normalization, reordered includes
 231 to prevent a missing class definition in some setups, and better cache
 232 revision and id handling.  The two experimental features are auto-formatting
 233 (auto-paragraphing and linkification) and error collection, these can
 234 be enabled with <a href="live/configdoc/plain.html#AutoFormat.AutoParagraph">%AutoFormat.AutoParagraph</a>,
 235 <a href="live/configdoc/plain.html#AutoFormat.Linkify">%AutoFormat.Linkify</a> and

 251       HTML Purifier 2.0 is the culmination of two major architectural changes.
 252       The first is <a href="docs/enduser-tidy.html">Tidy</a>, which enables
 253       HTML Purifier to both natively support
 254       deprecated elements and also convert them to standards-compliant
 255       alternatives. The second is the
 256       <a href="docs/enduser-customize.html">Advanced API</a>,
 257       which enables users to
 258       create new elements and attributes with ease. Keeping in line with a
 259       commitment to high quality, there are also five esoteric bug-fixes and a
 260       plethora of subtle improvements that enhance the library.
