HTML-XML-utils 7.4

24 November 2017: Version 7.4 of the HTML-XML-utils adds two new features to hxselect and hxremove:

1. Support for the :not() selector of CSS. Any selector can be put inside the parentheses and the :not() matches any element that that selector doesn't match.
2. Support for comma-separated selectors. When two or more comma-separated selectors are given as argument, all elements are selected that match at least one of those selectors.

This version also fixes a bug that caused hxselect & hxremove to fail to match the :root selector.

HTML-XML-utils 7.3

12 November 2017: Version 7.3 of the HTML-XML-utils fixes bugs in the handling of some HTML5 elements: The source, track and wbr elements were not recognized as empty element.

HTML-XML-utils 7.2

• hxnormalize can now break long lines before the ‘>’ of a tag.
• hxselect supports more CSS selectors (last-child, nth-last-of-type, and others).
• Both hxselect and hxremove also support the non-element selector ‘::attr()’.
• All utilities now handle XML element names and attribute names with non-ASCII characters.
