Lxml

==================

Bugs fixed
----------

* LP2059910: The minimum CPU architecture for the Linux x86 binary wheels was set back to
"core2", but with SSE 4.2 enabled.

* LP2059977: ``Element.iterfind("//absolute_path")`` failed with a ``SyntaxError``
where it should have issued a warning.

* GH416: The documentation build was using the non-standard ``which`` command.
Patch by Michał Górny.

==================

Other changes
-------------

* LP1958539: The ``lxml.html.clean`` implementation suffered from several (only if used)
security issues in the past and was now extracted into a separate library:

https://github.com/fedora-python/lxml_html_clean

Projects that use lxml without "lxml.html.clean" will not notice any difference,
except that they won't have potentially vulnerable code installed.
The module is available as an "extra" setuptools dependency "lxml[html_clean]",
so that Projects that need "lxml.html.clean" will need to switch their requirements
from "lxml" to "lxml[html_clean]", or install the new library themselves.

* The minimum CPU architecture for the Linux x86 binary wheels was upgraded to
"sandybridge" (launched 2011), and glibc 2.28 / gcc 12 (manylinux_2_28) wheels were added.

* Built with Cython 3.0.10.

==================

Features added
--------------

* Parsing ASCII strings is slightly faster.

Bugs fixed
----------

* GH349: The HTML ``Cleaner()`` interpreted an accidentally provided string parameter
for the ``host_whitelist`` as list of characters and silently failed to reject any hosts.
Passing a non-collection is now rejected.

Other changes

* Support for Python 2.7 and Python versions < 3.6 was removed.
