  36     <div class="body">
  37     <p>The 1.6.1 release, code-named <q>Ach! We missed something! Run!</q>, completes
  38     HTML Purifier's roster of attribute transformations. It also implements
  39     a number of minor features (such as better font transformations, smarter
  40     <abbr>HTML</abbr> parsing, the <abbr>CSS</abbr> property 'white-space'
  41     and <abbr>XHTML</abbr> 1.1), a few bug
  42     fixes (most notably fixed <code>__autoload</code> compatibility issues)
  43     and a ton
  44     of refactoring. 1.6 was for things that absolutely could not wait: this
  45     release, developed in a more leisurely pace, fills in the gaps.</p>

  57     <div class="body">
  58     <p>Recently, a packaging problem with the <acronym>PEAR</acronym>
  59     version of HTML Purifier was pointed out to me by David Schmierer. This
  60     bug would cause HTML Purifier to fail converting <abbr>HTML</abbr> entities such
  61     as &amp;nbsp;. The 1.6.0 release was amended accordingly and re-released.
  62     If you are using the <acronym>PEAR</acronym> release, use:</p>
  63     <pre>pear install --force hp/HTMLPurifier</pre>
  64     <p>...to force an update. Users who manually downloaded the library
  65     and installed do <em>not</em> have to do anything.</p>

  73     <div class="body">
  74     <p>We have relocated from <code>hp.jpsband.org</code> to
  75     <code>htmlpurifier.org</code>. Please update your links and bookmarks
  76     accordingly. Permanent redirects are in place, so old links will
  77     continue to work for a while. However, some pages have changed
  78     locations in the shuffle:</p>
  79     <ul>
  80         <li><code>live/docs/examples/demo.php</code> is now <a href="demo.php">demo.php</a></li>
  81         <li><code>live/docs/</code> is now <a href="docs/">docs/</a></li>
  82         <li><code>v/viewvc.cgi/</code> is now <a href="viewvc.cgi">viewvc.cgi/</a></li>
  83     </ul>
  84     <p>Also, <acronym>PEAR</acronym> users will need to uninstall their
  85     old copy of HTML Purifier, remove the old channel, and then discover
  86     and install at the new domain. This set of commands should do the
  87     trick:</p>
  88 <pre>
  89 pear uninstall hp/HTMLPurifier
  90 pear channel-delete hp.jpsband.org
  91 pear channel-discover htmlpurifier.org
  92 pear install hp/HTMLPurifier
  93 </pre>
  94     <p>Thank you all for your cooperation. If there are any blips, please
  95     report them to the <a

 111     ago. Feel free to check them out.</p>
 112     <p>Also, I've purchased the <code>htmlpurifier.org</code> domain
 113     so this website will be migrating to that address soon. I'm not in any

 124     <p>I'd like to thank
 125     <a href="http://podcast.phparch.com/main/index.php/main">Pro::PHP</a>
 126     podcast for mentioning HTML Purifier on their
 127     <a href="http://podcast.phparch.com/main/index.php/episodes:20070405">April
 128     5, 2007 show</a>. I've always been a fan of their informative
 129     podcasts, and was delighted to discover that
 130     they had decided to include HTML Purifier on the program list
 131     (even though it was at the very end).
 132     </p>
 133
 134     <p>Against my better judgment, I have a few clarifications I'd like
 135     to make about the podcast:</p>
 136
 137     <ul>
 138         <li>While HTML Purifier can use Tidy, it's completely optional.
 139         Tidy is exploited for pretty-printed <abbr>HTML</abbr>.</li>
 140         <li>We do use the <abbr>XSS</abbr> cheatsheet for
 141         <a href="live/smoketests/xssAttacks.php">testing
 142         the library</a>, but I actually did not know about the cheat-sheet
 143         until the library was well under development.</li>
 144         <li>Yes, the top domain is actually a school band website that
 145         I'm borrowing hosting from. I'm playing around with getting
 146         a dedicated domain at htmlpurifier.org.</li>
 147     </ul>
 148
 149     <p>Once again, thanks for mentioning the library, perhaps someday
 150     I'll do a screencast going through some of HTML Purifier's major
 151     features.</p>

 155 <div class="item" id="news-1.6.0-released">
 156     <h3 class="title">HTML Purifier 1.6.0 released</h3>
 157     <div class="date">Sun, 01 April 2007 23:40:59 EDT</div>
 158
 159     <div class="body">
 160     <p>Sorry, no April Fool's joke this year. To compensate, we have
 161     the 1.6.0 <q>Long Overdue</q> release. This version contains support
 162     for a number of deprecated attributes HTML Purifier should have
 163     had from the very beginning, including the name, bgcolor, border,
 164     width and height attributes. The <abbr>CSS</abbr> property 'height',
 165     rel and rev attributes and ID blacklist regexps are also available.
 166     In addition, HTML Purifier will give a friendly error message
 167     when you try to enable an element or attribute that doesn't exist.</p>
 168
 169     <p>All in all, this is a fairly compact release, but it does
 170     address some common requests brought up in the Forums, so I suggest
 171     you upgrade anyway. You can check <a
 172     href="http://htmlpurifier.org/svnroot/htmlpurifier/tags/1.6.0/NEWS">News</a>
 173     for a complete changelog, but there's not much else.</p>
