Cssselect

-----------

Released on 2012-04-16.

* Remove the ``CSSSelector`` class. (The ``css_to_xpath()`` function is now
the main API.)
* Remove support for the ``:contains()`` pseudo-class.

These changes allow cssselect to be used without lxml. (Hey, this was
the whole point of this project.) The tests still require lxml, though.
The removed parts are expected to stay in lxml for backward-compatibility.

``:contains()`` only existed in an `early draft
<http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/CR-css3-selectors-20011113/#content-selectors>`_
of the Selectors specification, and was removed before Level 3 stabilized.
Internally, it used a custom XPath extension function which can be
difficult to express outside of lxml.


* Separate the XPath translation from the parsed objects into a new
``Translator`` class.

Subclasses of ``Translator`` can be made to change the way that some selector
(eg. a pseudo-class) is implemented.

Extract lxml.cssselect from the rest of lxml and make it a stand-alone project.

Commit ``ea53ceaf7e44ba4fbb5c818ae31370932f47774e`` was taken on 2012-04-11
from the 'master' branch of lxml’s git repository. This is somewhere
between versions 2.3.4 and 2.4.

The commit history has been rewritten to:

* Remove lxml files unrelated to cssselect
* Import the early history from the 'html' branch in the old SVN repository
* Fix author names in commits from SVN

This project has its own import name, tests and documentation. But the
code itself is unchanged and still depends on lxml.
