4.6.3

* Exactly the same as 4.6.2. Re-released to make the README file
render properly on PyPI.

4.6.2

* Fix an exception when a custom formatter was asked to format a void
element. [bug=1784408]

4.6.1

* Stop data loss when encountering an empty numeric entity, and
possibly in other cases. Thanks to tos.kamiya for the fix. [bug=1698503]

* Preserve XML namespaces introduced inside an XML document, not just
the ones introduced at the top level. [bug=1718787]

* Added a new formatter, "html5", which represents void elements
as "<element>" rather than "<element/>". [bug=1716272]

* Fixed a problem where the html.parser tree builder interpreted
a string like "&foo " as the character entity "&foo;" [bug=1728706]

* Correctly handle invalid HTML numeric character entities like &147;
which reference code points that are not Unicode code points. Note
that this is only fixed when Beautiful Soup is used with the
html.parser parser -- html5lib already worked and I couldn't fix it
with lxml. [bug=1782933]

* Improved the warning given when no parser is specified. [bug=1780571]

* When markup contains duplicate elements, a select() call that
includes multiple match clauses will match all relevant
elements. [bug=1770596]

* Fixed code that was causing deprecation warnings in recent Python 3
versions. Includes a patch from Ville Skyttä. [bug=1778909] [bug=1689496]

* Fixed a Windows crash in diagnose() when checking whether a long
markup string is a filename. [bug=1737121]

* Stopped HTMLParser from raising an exception in very rare cases of
bad markup. [bug=1708831]

* Fixed a bug where find_all() was not working when asked to find a
tag with a namespaced name in an XML document that was parsed as
HTML. [bug=1723783]

* You can get finer control over formatting by subclassing
bs4.element.Formatter and passing a Formatter instance into (e.g.)
encode(). [bug=1716272]

* You can pass a dictionary of `attrs` into
BeautifulSoup.new_tag. This makes it possible to create a tag with
an attribute like 'name' that would otherwise be masked by another
argument of new_tag. [bug=1779276]

* Clarified the deprecation warning when accessing tag.fooTag, to cover
the possibility that you might really have been looking for a tag
called 'fooTag'.

4.6.0

* Added the `Tag.get_attribute_list` method, which acts like `Tag.get` for
getting the value of an attribute, but which always returns a list,
whether or not the attribute is a multi-value attribute. [bug=1678589]

* It's now possible to use a tag's namespace prefix when searching,
e.g. soup.find('namespace:tag') [bug=1655332]

* Improved the handling of empty-element tags like <br> when using the
html.parser parser. [bug=1676935]

* HTML parsers treat all HTML4 and HTML5 empty element tags (aka void
element tags) correctly. [bug=1656909]

* Namespace prefix is preserved when an XML tag is copied. Thanks
to Vikas for a patch and test. [bug=1685172]

4.5.3

* Fixed foster parenting when html5lib is the tree builder. Thanks to
Geoffrey Sneddon for a patch and test.

* Fixed yet another problem that caused the html5lib tree builder to
create a disconnected parse tree. [bug=1629825]

4.5.2

* Apart from the version number, this release is identical to
4.5.3. Due to user error, it could not be completely uploaded to
PyPI. Use 4.5.3 instead.
