Parsel

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

* Removed the dependency on ``pytest-runner``.
* Removed the obsolete ``Makefile``.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

* Now requires ``cssselect >= 1.2.0`` (this minimum version was required since
1.8.0 but that wasn't properly recorded)
* Removed support for Python 3.7
* Added support for Python 3.12 and PyPy 3.10
* Fixed an exception when calling ``__str__`` or ``__repr__`` on some JSON
selectors
* Code formatted with ``black``
* CI fixes and improvements

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

* Remove a Sphinx reference from NEWS to fix the PyPI description
* Add a ``twine check`` CI check to detect such problems

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

* Add support for JMESPath: you can now create a selector for a JSON document
and call ``Selector.jmespath()``. See `the documentation`_ for more
information and examples.
* Selectors can now be constructed from ``bytes`` (using the ``body`` and
``encoding`` arguments) instead of ``str`` (using the ``text`` argument), so
that there is no internal conversion from ``str`` to ``bytes`` and the memory
usage is lower.
* Typing improvements
* The ``pkg_resources`` module (which was absent from the requirements) is no
longer used
* Documentation build fixes
* New requirements:

* ``jmespath``
* ``typing_extensions`` (on Python 3.7)

.. _the documentation: https://parsel.readthedocs.io/en/latest/usage.html

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

* Add PEP 561-style type information
* Support for Python 2.7, 3.5 and 3.6 is removed
* Support for Python 3.9-3.11 is added
* Very large documents (with deep nesting or long tag content) can now be
parsed, and ``Selector`` now takes a new argument ``huge_tree`` to disable
this
* Support for new features of cssselect 1.2.0 is added
* The ``Selector.remove()`` and ``SelectorList.remove()`` methods are
deprecated and replaced with the new ``Selector.drop()`` and
``SelectorList.drop()`` methods which don't delete text after the dropped
elements when used in the HTML mode.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

* Python 3.4 is no longer supported
* New ``Selector.remove()`` and ``SelectorList.remove()`` methods to remove
selected elements from the parsed document tree
* Improvements to error reporting, test coverage and documentation, and code
cleanup
