Nokogiri Changelog Archive

These are the release notes for older versions. For current releases, see CHANGELOG.md.

1.15.7 / 2024-12-02

Fixed

  • [CRuby] When serializing HTML5 documents, properly escape foreign content "style" elements. Normally, a "style" tag contains raw text that does not need entity-escaping, but when it appears in either SVG or MathML foreign content, the "style" tag is now correctly escaped when serialized. @flavorjones

1.15.6 / 2024-03-16

Security

  • [CRuby] Vendored libxml2 is updated to address CVE-2024-25062. See GHSA-xc9x-jj77-9p9j for more information.

Dependencies

1.15.5 / 2023-11-17

Dependencies

1.15.4 / 2023-08-11

Dependencies

Fixed

  • Fixed a typo in a HTML5 parser error message. [#2927] (@anishathalye)
  • [CRuby] ObjectSpace.memsize_of is now safe to call on Documents with complex DTDs. In previous versions, this debugging method could result in a segfault. [#2923, #2924]

1.15.3 / 2023-07-05

Fixed

  • Passing an object that is not a kind of XML::Node as the first parameter to CDATA.new now raises a TypeError. Previously this would result in either a segfault (CRuby) or a Java exception (JRuby). [#2920]
  • Passing an object that is not a kind of XML::Node as the first parameter to Schema.from_document now raises a TypeError. Previously this would result in either a segfault (CRuby) or a Java exception (JRuby). [#2920]
  • [CRuby] Passing an object that is not a kind of XML::Node as the second parameter to Text.new now raises a TypeError. Previously this would result in a segfault. [#2920]
  • [CRuby] Replacing a node's children via methods like Node#inner_html=, #children=, and #replace no longer defensively dups the node's next sibling if it is a Text node. This behavior was originally adopted to work around libxml2's memory management (see #283 and #595) but should not have included operations involving xmlAddChild(). [#2916]
  • [JRuby] Fixed NPE when serializing an unparented HTML node. [#2559, #2895] (@cbasguti)

1.15.2 / 2023-05-24

Dependencies

  • [JRuby] Vendored org.nokogiri:nekodtd is updated to v0.1.11.noko2. This is functionally equivalent to v0.1.11.noko1 but restores support for Java 8.

Fixed

  • [JRuby] Java 8 support is restored, fixing a regression present in v1.14.0..v1.14.4 and v1.15.0..v1.15.1. [#2887]

1.15.1 / 2023-05-19

Dependencies

Fixed

  • [CRuby] The libxml2 update fixes an encoding regression when push-parsing UTF-8 sequences. [#2882, upstream issue and commit]

1.15.0 / 2023-05-15

Notes

Ability to opt into system malloc and free

Since 2009, Nokogiri has configured libxml2 to use ruby_xmalloc et al for memory management. This has provided benefits for memory management, but comes with a performance penalty.

Users can now opt into using system malloc for libxml2 memory management by setting an environment variable:

# "default" here means "libxml2's default" which is system malloc
NOKOGIRI_LIBXML_MEMORY_MANAGEMENT=default

Benchmarks show that this setting will significantly improve performance, but be aware that the tradeoff may involve poorer memory management including bloated heap sizes and/or OOM conditions.

You can read more about this in the decision record at adr/2023-04-libxml-memory-management.md.

Dependencies

Added

  • Encoding objects may now be passed to serialization methods like #to_xml, #to_html, #serialize, and #write_to to specify the output encoding. Previously only encoding names (strings) were accepted. [#2774, #2798] (@ellaklara)
  • [CRuby] Users may opt into using system malloc for libxml2 memory management. For more detail, see note above or adr/2023-04-libxml-memory-management.md.

Changed

  • [CRuby] Schema.from_document now makes a defensive copy of the document if it has blank text nodes with Ruby objects instantiated for them. This prevents unsafe behavior in libxml2 from causing a segfault. There is a small performance cost, but we think this has the virtue of being "what the user meant" since modifying the original is surprising behavior for most users. Previously this was addressed in v1.10.9 by raising an exception.

Fixed

  • [CRuby] XSLT.transform now makes a defensive copy of the document if it has blank text nodes with Ruby objects instantiated for them and the template uses xsl:strip-spaces. This prevents unsafe behavior in libxslt from causing a segfault. There is a small performance cost, but we think this has the virtue of being "what the user meant" since modifying the original is surprising behavior for most users. Previously this would allow unsafe memory access and potentially segfault. [#2800]

Improved

  • Nokogiri::XML::Node::SaveOptions#inspect now shows the names of the options set in the bitmask, similar to ParseOptions. [#2767]
  • #inspect and pretty-printing are improved for AttributeDecl, ElementContent, ElementDecl, and EntityDecl.
  • [CRuby] The C extension now uses Ruby's TypedData API for managing all the libxml2 structs. Write barriers may improve GC performance in some extreme cases. [#2808] (@etiennebarrie and @byroot)
  • [CRuby] ObjectSpace.memsize_of reports a pretty good guess of memory usage when called on Nokogiri::XML::Document objects. [#2807] (@etiennebarrie and @byroot)
  • [CRuby] Users installing the "ruby" platform gem and compiling libxml2 and libxslt from source will now be using a modern config.guess and config.sub that supports new architectures like loongarch64. [#2831] (@zhangwenlong8911)
  • [CRuby] HTML5 parser:
  • adjusts the specified attributes, adding xlink:arcrole and removing xml:base [#2841, #2842]
  • allows <hr> in <select> [whatwg/html#3410, whatwg/html#9124]
  • [JRuby] Node#first_element_child now returns nil if there are only non-element children. Previously a null pointer exception was raised. [#2808, #2844]
  • Documentation for Nokogiri::XSLT now has usage examples including custom function handlers.

Deprecated

  • Passing a Nokogiri::XML::Node as the first parameter to CDATA.new is deprecated and will generate a warning. This parameter should be a kind of Nokogiri::XML::Document. This will become an error in a future version of Nokogiri.
  • Passing a Nokogiri::XML::Node as the first parameter to Schema.from_document is deprecated and will generate a warning. This parameter should be a kind of Nokogiri::XML::Document. This will become an error in a future version of Nokogiri.
  • Passing a Nokogiri::XML::Node as the second parameter to Text.new is deprecated and will generate a warning. This parameter should be a kind of Nokogiri::XML::Document. This will become an error in a future version of Nokogiri.
  • [CRuby] Calling a custom XPath function without the nokogiri namespace is deprecated and will generate a warning. Support for non-namespaced functions will be removed in a future version of Nokogiri. (Note that JRuby has never supported non-namespaced custom XPath functions.)

1.14.5 / 2023-05-24

Note

To ensure that JRuby users on Java 8 can apply the security changes from v1.14.4, we're cutting this release on the v1.14.x branch. We don't expect to make any more v1.14.x releases.

(The changes in this release are incorporated into the v1.15.x release branch at v1.15.2.)

Dependencies

  • [JRuby] Vendored org.nokogiri:nekodtd is updated to v0.1.11.noko2. This is functionally equivalent to v0.1.11.noko1 but restores support for Java 8.

Fixed

  • [JRuby] Java 8 support is restored, fixing a regression introduced in v1.14.0. [#2887]

1.14.4 / 2023-05-11

Dependencies

  • [JRuby] Vendored Xalan-J is updated to v2.7.3. This is the first Xalan release in nine years, and it was done to address CVE-2022-34169.

The Nokogiri maintainers wish to stress that Nokogiri users were not vulnerable to this CVE, as we explained in GHSA-qwq9-89rg-ww72, and so upgrading is really at the discretion of users.

This release was cut primarily so that JRuby users of v1.14.x can avoid vulnerability scanner alerts on earlier versions of Xalan-J.

1.14.3 / 2023-04-11

Security

Dependencies

  • [CRuby] Vendored libxml2 is updated to v2.10.4 from v2.10.3.

1.14.2 / 2023-02-13

Fixed

  • Calling NodeSet#to_html on an empty node set no longer raises an encoding-related exception. This bug was introduced in v1.14.0 while fixing #2649. [#2784]

1.14.1 / 2023-01-30

Fixed

  • Serializing documents now works again with pseudo-IO objects that don't support IO's encoding API (like rubyzip's Zip::OutputStream). This was a regression in v1.14.0 due to the fix for #752 in #2434, and was not completely fixed by #2753. [#2773]
  • [CRuby] Address compiler warnings about void* casting and old-style C function definitions.

1.14.0 / 2023-01-12

Notable Changes

Ruby

This release introduces native gem support for Ruby 3.2. (Also see "Technical note" under "Changed" below.)

This release ends support for:

Faster, more reliable installation: Native Gem for aarch64-linux (aka linux/arm64/v8)

This version of Nokogiri ships official native gem support for the aarch64-linux platform, which should support AWS Graviton and other ARM64 Linux platforms. Please note that glibc >= 2.29 is required for aarch64-linux systems, see Supported Platforms for more information.

Faster, more reliable installation: Native Gem for arm-linux (aka linux/arm/v7)

This version of Nokogiri ships experimental native gem support for the arm-linux platform. Please note that glibc >= 2.29 is required for arm-linux systems, see Supported Platforms for more information.

Pattern matching

This version introduces an experimental pattern matching API for XML::Attr, XML::Document, XML::DocumentFragment, XML::Namespace, XML::Node, and XML::NodeSet (and their subclasses).

Some documentation on what can be matched:

We welcome feedback on this API at #2360.

Dependencies

CRuby

  • Vendored libiconv is updated to v1.17

JRuby

  • This version of Nokogiri uses jar-dependencies to manage most of the vendored Java dependencies. nokogiri -v now outputs maven metadata for all Java dependencies, and Nokogiri::VERSION_INFO also contains this metadata. [#2432]
  • HTML parsing is now provided by net.sourceforge.htmlunit:neko-htmlunit:2.61.0 (previously Nokogiri used a fork of org.cyberneko.html:nekohtml)
  • Vendored Jing is updated from com.thaiopensource:jing:20091111 to nu.validator:jing:20200702VNU.
  • New dependency on net.sf.saxon:Saxon-HE:9.6.0-4 (via nu.validator:jing:20200702VNU).

Added

  • Node#wrap and NodeSet#wrap now also accept a Node type argument, which will be duped for each wrapper. For cases where many nodes are being wrapped, creating a Node once using Document#create_element and passing that Node multiple times is significantly faster than re-parsing markup on each call. [#2657]
  • [CRuby] Invocation of custom XPath or CSS handler functions may now use the nokogiri namespace prefix. Historically, the JRuby implementation required this namespace but the CRuby implementation did not support it. It's recommended that all XPath and CSS queries use the nokogiri namespace going forward. Invocation without the namespace is planned for deprecation in v1.15.0 and removal in a future release. [#2147]
  • HTML5::Document#quirks_mode and HTML5::DocumentFragment#quirks_mode expose the quirks mode used by the parser.

Improved

Functional

Performance

  • Serialization of HTML5 documents and fragments has been re-implemented and is ~10x faster than previous versions. [#2596, #2569]
  • Parsing of HTML5 documents is ~90% faster thanks to additional compiler optimizations being applied. [#2639]
  • Compare Encoding objects rather than compare their names. This is a slight performance improvement and is future-proof. [#2454] (@casperisfine)

Error handling

  • Document#canonicalize now raises an exception if inclusive_namespaces is non-nil and the mode is inclusive, i.e. XML_C14N_1_0 or XML_C14N_1_1. inclusive_namespaces can only be passed with exclusive modes, and previously this silently failed.
  • Empty CSS selectors now raise a clearer Nokogiri::CSS::SyntaxError message, "empty CSS selector". Previously the exception raised from the bowels of racc was "unexpected '$' after ''". [#2700]
  • [CRuby] XML::Reader parsing errors encountered during Reader#attribute_hash and Reader#namespaces now raise an XML::SyntaxError. Previously these methods would return nil and users would generally experience NoMethodErrors from elsewhere in the code.
  • Prefer ruby_xmalloc to malloc within the C extension. [#2480] (@Garfield96)

Installation

  • Avoid compile-time conflict with system-installed gumbo.h on OpenBSD. [#2464]
  • Remove calls to vasprintf in favor of platform-independent rb_vsprintf
  • Installation from source on systems missing libiconv will once again generate a helpful error message (broken since v1.11.0). [#2505]
  • [CRuby+OSX] Compiling from source on MacOS will use the clang option -Wno-unknown-warning-option to avoid errors when Ruby injects options that clang doesn't know about. [#2689]

Fixed

  • SAX::Parser's encoding attribute will not be clobbered when an alternative encoding is passed into SAX::Parser#parse_io. [#1942] (@kp666)
  • Serialized HTML4::DocumentFragment will now be properly encoded. Previously this empty string was encoded as US-ASCII. [#2649]
  • Node#wrap now uses the parent as the context node for parsing wrapper markup, falling back to the document for unparented nodes. Previously the document was always used.
  • [CRuby] UTF-16-encoded documents longer than ~4000 code points now serialize properly. Previously the serialized document was corrupted when it exceeded the length of libxml2's internal string buffer. [#752]
  • [CRuby] The HTML5 parser now correctly handles text at the end of form elements.
  • [CRuby] HTML5::Document#fragment now always uses body as the parsing context. Previously, fragments were parsed in the context of the associated document's root node, which allowed for inconsistent parsing. [#2553]
  • [CRuby] Nokogiri::HTML5::Document#url now correctly returns the URL passed to the constructor method. Previously it always returned nil. [#2583]
  • [CRuby] HTML5 encoding detection is now case-insensitive with respect to meta tag charset declaration. [#2693]
  • [CRuby] HTML5 fragment parsing in context of an annotation-xml node now works. Previously this rarely-used path invoked rb_funcall with incorrect parameters, resulting in an exception, a fatal error, or potentially a segfault. [#2692]
  • [CRuby] HTML5 quirks mode during fragment parsing more closely matches document parsing. [#2646]
  • [JRuby] Fixed a bug with adding the same namespace to multiple nodes via #add_namespace_definition. [#1247]
  • [JRuby] NodeSet#[] now raises a TypeError if passed an invalid parameter type. [#2211]

Deprecated

  • Nokogiri.install_default_aliases is deprecated in favor of Nokogiri::EncodingHandler.install_default_aliases. This is part of a private API and is probably not called by anybody, but we'll go through a deprecation cycle before removal anyway. [#2643, #2446]

Changed

  • [CRuby+OSX] Technical note: On MacOS Ruby 3.2, the symbols from libxml2 and libxslt are no longer exported. Ruby 3.2 adopted new features from the Darwin toolchain that make it challenging to continue to support this rarely-used binary API. A future minor release of Nokogiri may remove these symbols (and others) entirely. Feedback from downstream gem maintainers is welcome at #2746, where you'll also be able to read deeper context on this decision.

1.13.10 / 2022-12-07

Security

  • [CRuby] Address CVE-2022-23476, unchecked return value from xmlTextReaderExpand. See GHSA-qv4q-mr5r-qprj for more information.

Improvements

  • [CRuby] XML::Reader#attribute_hash now returns nil on parse errors. This restores the behavior of #attributes from v1.13.7 and earlier. [#2715]

1.13.9 / 2022-10-18

Security

Dependencies

  • [CRuby] Vendored libxml2 is updated to v2.10.3 from v2.9.14.
  • [CRuby] Vendored libxslt is updated to v1.1.37 from v1.1.35.
  • [CRuby] Vendored zlib is updated from 1.2.12 to 1.2.13. (See LICENSE-DEPENDENCIES.md for details on which packages redistribute this library.)

Fixed

  • [CRuby] Nokogiri::XML::Namespace objects, when compacted, update their internal struct's reference to the Ruby object wrapper. Previously, with GC compaction enabled, a segmentation fault was possible after compaction was triggered. [#2658] (@eightbitraptor and @peterzhu2118)
  • [CRuby] Document#remove_namespaces! now defers freeing the underlying xmlNs struct until the Document is GCed. Previously, maintaining a reference to a Namespace object that was removed in this way could lead to a segfault. [#2658]

1.13.8 / 2022-07-23

Deprecated

  • XML::Reader#attribute_nodes is deprecated due to incompatibility between libxml2's xmlReader memory semantics and Ruby's garbage collector. Although this method continues to exist for backwards compatibility, it is unsafe to call and may segfault. This method will be removed in a future version of Nokogiri, and callers should use #attribute_hash instead. [#2598]

Improvements

  • XML::Reader#attribute_hash is a new method to safely retrieve the attributes of a node from XML::Reader. [#2598, #2599]

Fixed

  • [CRuby] Calling XML::Reader#attributes is now safe to call. In Nokogiri <= 1.13.7 this method may segfault. [#2598, #2599]

1.13.7 / 2022-07-12

Fixed

XML::Node objects, when compacted, update their internal struct's reference to the Ruby object wrapper. Previously, with GC compaction enabled, a segmentation fault was possible after compaction was triggered. [#2578] (@eightbitraptor)

1.13.6 / 2022-05-08

Security

  • [CRuby] Address CVE-2022-29181, improper handling of unexpected data types, related to untrusted inputs to the SAX parsers. See GHSA-xh29-r2w5-wx8m for more information.

Improvements

  • {HTML4,XML}::SAX::{Parser,ParserContext} constructor methods now raise TypeError instead of segfaulting when an incorrect type is passed.

1.13.5 / 2022-05-04

Security

Dependencies

  • [CRuby] Vendored libxml2 is updated from v2.9.13 to v2.9.14.

Improvements

  • [CRuby] The libxml2 HTML parser no longer exhibits quadratic behavior when recovering some broken markup related to start-of-tag and bare < characters.

Changed

  • [CRuby] The libxml2 HTML parser in v2.9.14 recovers from some broken markup differently. Notably, the XML CDATA escape sequence <![CDATA[ and incorrectly-opened comments will result in HTML text nodes starting with &lt;! instead of skipping the invalid tag. This behavior is a direct result of the quadratic-behavior fix noted above. The behavior of downstream sanitizers relying on this behavior will also change. Some tests describing the changed behavior are in test/html4/test_comments.rb.

1.13.4 / 2022-04-11

Security

Dependencies

  • [CRuby] Vendored zlib is updated from 1.2.11 to 1.2.12. (See LICENSE-DEPENDENCIES.md for details on which packages redistribute this library.)
  • [JRuby] Vendored Xerces-J (xerces:xercesImpl) is updated from 2.12.0 to 2.12.2.
  • [JRuby] Vendored nekohtml (org.cyberneko.html) is updated from a fork of 1.9.21 to 1.9.22.noko2. This fork is now publicly developed at https://github.com/sparklemotion/nekohtml

1.13.3 / 2022-02-21

Fixed

  • [CRuby] Revert a HTML4 parser bug in libxml 2.9.13 (introduced in Nokogiri v1.13.2). The bug causes libxml2's HTML4 parser to fail to recover when encountering a bare < character in some contexts. This version of Nokogiri restores the earlier behavior, which is to recover from the parse error and treat the < as normal character data (which will be serialized as &lt; in a text node). The bug (and the fix) is only relevant when the RECOVER parse option is set, as it is by default. [#2461]

1.13.2 / 2022-02-21

Security

  • [CRuby] Vendored libxml2 is updated from 2.9.12 to 2.9.13. This update addresses CVE-2022-23308.
  • [CRuby] Vendored libxslt is updated from 1.1.34 to 1.1.35. This update addresses CVE-2021-30560.

Please see GHSA-fq42-c5rg-92c2 for more information about these CVEs.

Dependencies

1.13.1 / 2022-01-13

Fixed

  • Fix Nokogiri::XSLT.quote_params regression in v1.13.0 that raised an exception when non-string stylesheet parameters were passed. Non-string parameters (e.g., integers and symbols) are now explicitly supported and both keys and values will be stringified with #to_s. [#2418]
  • Fix CSS selector query regression in v1.13.0 that raised an Nokogiri::XML::XPath::SyntaxError when parsing XPath attributes mixed into the CSS query. Although this mash-up of XPath and CSS syntax previously worked unintentionally, it is now an officially supported feature and is documented as such. [#2419]

1.13.0 / 2022-01-06

Notes

Ruby

This release introduces native gem support for Ruby 3.1. Please note that Windows users should use the x64-mingw-ucrt platform gem for Ruby 3.1, and x64-mingw32 for Ruby 2.6–3.0 (see RubyInstaller 3.1.0 release notes).

This release ends support for:

Faster, more reliable installation: Native Gem for ARM64 Linux

This version of Nokogiri ships experimental native gem support for the aarch64-linux platform, which should support AWS Graviton and other ARM Linux platforms. We don't yet have CI running for this platform, and so we're interested in hearing back from y'all whether this is working, and what problems you're seeing. Please send us feedback here: Feedback: Have you used the aarch64-linux native gem?

Publishing

This version of Nokogiri opts-in to the "MFA required to publish" setting on Rubygems.org. This and all future Nokogiri gem files must be published to Rubygems by an account with multi-factor authentication enabled. This should provide some additional protection against supply-chain attacks.

A related discussion about Trust exists at #2357 in which I invite you to participate if you have feelings or opinions on this topic.

Dependencies

  • [CRuby] Vendored libiconv is updated from 1.15 to 1.16. (Note that libiconv is only redistributed in the native windows and native darwin gems, see LICENSE-DEPENDENCIES.md for more information.) [#2206]
  • [CRuby] Upgrade mini_portile2 dependency from ~> 2.6.1 to ~> 2.7.0. ("ruby" platform gem only.)

Improved

  • {XML,HTML4}::DocumentFragment constructors all now take an optional parse options parameter or block (similar to Document constructors). [#1692] (@JackMc)
  • Nokogiri::CSS.xpath_for allows an XPathVisitor to be injected, for finer-grained control over how CSS queries are translated into XPath.
  • [CRuby] XML::Reader#encoding will return the encoding detected by the parser when it's not passed to the constructor. [#980]
  • [CRuby] Handle abruptly-closed HTML comments as recommended by WHATWG. (Thanks to tehryanx for reporting)
  • [CRuby] Node#line is no longer capped at 65535. libxml v2.9.0 and later support a new parse option, exposed as Nokogiri::XML::ParseOptions::PARSE_BIG_LINES, which is turned on by default in ParseOptions::DEFAULT_{XML,XSLT,HTML,SCHEMA} (Note that JRuby already supported large line numbers.) [#1764, #1493, #1617, #1505, #1003, #533]
  • [CRuby] If a cycle is introduced when reparenting a node (i.e., the node becomes its own ancestor), a RuntimeError is raised. libxml2 does no checking for this, which means cycles would otherwise result in infinite loops on subsequent operations. (Note that JRuby already did this.) [#1912]
  • [CRuby] Source builds will download zlib and libiconv via HTTPS. ("ruby" platform gem only.) [#2391] (@jmartin-r7)
  • [JRuby] Node#line behavior has been modified to return the line number of the node in the final DOM structure. This behavior is different from CRuby, which returns the node's position in the input string. Ideally the two implementations would be the same, but at least is now officially documented and tested. The real-world impact of this change is that the value returned in JRuby is greater by 1 to account for the XML prolog in the output. [#2380] (@dabdine)

Fixed

  • CSS queries on HTML5 documents now correctly match foreign elements (SVG, MathML) when namespaces are not specified in the query. [#2376]
  • XML::Builder blocks restore context properly when exceptions are raised. [#2372] (@ric2b and @rinthedev)
  • The Nokogiri::CSS::Parser cache now uses the XPathVisitor configuration as part of the cache key, preventing incorrect cache results from being returned when multiple XPathVisitor options are being used.
  • Error recovery from in-context parsing (e.g., Node#parse) now always uses the correct DocumentFragment class. Previously Nokogiri::HTML4::DocumentFragment was always used, even for XML documents. [#1158]
  • DocumentFragment#> now works properly, matching a CSS selector against only the fragment roots. [#1857]
  • XML::DocumentFragment#errors now correctly contains any parsing errors encountered. Previously this was always empty. (Note that HTML::DocumentFragment#errors already did this.)
  • [CRuby] Fix memory leak in Document#canonicalize when inclusive namespaces are passed in. [#2345]
  • [CRuby] Fix memory leak in Document#canonicalize when an argument type error is raised. [#2345]
  • [CRuby] Fix memory leak in EncodingHandler where iconv handlers were not being cleaned up. [#2345]
  • [CRuby] Fix memory leak in XPath custom handlers where string arguments were not being cleaned up. [#2345]
  • [CRuby] Fix memory leak in Reader#base_uri where the string returned by libxml2 was not freed. [#2347]
  • [JRuby] Deleting a Namespace from a NodeSet no longer modifies the href to be the default namespace URL.
  • [JRuby] Fix XHTML formatting of closing tags for non-container elements. [#2355]

Deprecated

  • Passing a Nokogiri::XML::Node as the second parameter to Node.new is deprecated and will generate a warning. This parameter should be a kind of Nokogiri::XML::Document. This will become an error in a future version of Nokogiri. [#975]
  • Nokogiri::CSS::Parser, Nokogiri::CSS::Tokenizer, and Nokogiri::CSS::Node are now internal-only APIs that are no longer documented, and should not be considered stable. With the introduction of XPathVisitor injection into Nokogiri::CSS.xpath_for there should be no reason to rely on these internal APIs.
  • CSS-to-XPath utility classes Nokogiri::CSS::XPathVisitorAlwaysUseBuiltins and XPathVisitorOptimallyUseBuiltins are deprecated. Prefer Nokogiri::CSS::XPathVisitor with appropriate constructor arguments. These classes will be removed in a future version of Nokogiri.

1.12.5 / 2021-09-27

Security

[JRuby] Address CVE-2021-41098 (GHSA-2rr5-8q37-2w7h).

In Nokogiri v1.12.4 and earlier, on JRuby only, the SAX parsers resolve external entities (XXE) by default. This fix turns off entity-resolution-by-default in the JRuby SAX parsers to match the CRuby SAX parsers' behavior.

CRuby users are not affected by this CVE.

Fixed

  • [CRuby] Document#to_xhtml properly serializes self-closing tags in libxml > 2.9.10. A behavior change introduced in libxml 2.9.11 resulted in emitting start and and tags (e.g., <br></br>) instead of a self-closing tag (e.g., <br/>) in previous Nokogiri versions. [#2324]

1.12.4 / 2021-08-29

Notable fix: Namespace inheritance

Namespace behavior when reparenting nodes has historically been poorly specified and the behavior diverged between CRuby and JRuby. As a result, making this behavior consistent in v1.12.0 introduced a breaking change.

This patch release reverts the Builder behavior present in v1.12.0..v1.12.3 but keeps the Document behavior. This release also introduces a Document attribute to allow affected users to easily change this behavior for their legacy code without invasive changes.

Compensating Feature in XML::Document

This release of Nokogiri introduces a new Document boolean attribute, namespace_inheritance, which controls whether children should inherit a namespace when they are reparented. Nokogiri::XML:Document defaults this attribute to false meaning "do not inherit," thereby making explicit the behavior change introduced in v1.12.0.

CRuby users who desire the pre-v1.12.0 behavior may set document.namespace_inheritance = true before reparenting nodes.

See https://nokogiri.org/rdoc/Nokogiri/XML/Document.html#namespace_inheritance-instance_method for example usage.

Fix for XML::Builder

However, recognizing that we want Builder-created children to inherit namespaces, Builder now will set namespace_inheritance=true on the underlying document for both JRuby and CRuby. This means that, on CRuby, the pre-v1.12.0 behavior is restored.

Users who want to turn this behavior off may pass a keyword argument to the Builder constructor like so:

Nokogiri::XML::Builder.new(namespace_inheritance: false)

See https://nokogiri.org/rdoc/Nokogiri/XML/Builder.html#label-Namespace+inheritance for example usage.

Downstream gem maintainers

Note that any downstream gems may want to specifically omit Nokogiri v1.12.0--v1.12.3 from their dependency specification if they rely on child namespace inheritance:

Gem::Specification.new do |gem|
  # ...
  gem.add_runtime_dependency 'nokogiri', '!=1.12.3', '!=1.12.2', '!=1.12.1', '!=1.12.0'
  # ...
end

Fixed

  • [JRuby] Fix NPE in Schema parsing when an imported resource doesn't have a systemId. [#2296] (@pepijnve)

1.12.3 / 2021-08-10

Fixed

  • [CRuby] Fix compilation of libgumbo on older systems with versions of GCC that give errors on C99-isms. Affected systems include RHEL6, RHEL7, and SLES12. [#2302]

1.12.2 / 2021-08-04

Fixed

  • [CRuby] Ensure that C extension files in non-native gem installations are loaded using require and rely on $LOAD_PATH instead of using require_relative. This issue only exists when deleting shared libraries that exist outside the extensions directory, something users occasionally do to conserve disk space. [#2300]

1.12.1 / 2021-08-03

Fixed

  • [CRuby] Fix compilation of libgumbo on BSD systems by avoiding GNU-isms. [#2298]

1.12.0 / 2021-08-02

Notable Addition: HTML5 Support (CRuby only)

HTML5 support has been added (to CRuby only) by merging Nokogumbo into Nokogiri. The Nokogumbo public API has been preserved, so this functionality is available under the Nokogiri::HTML5 namespace. [#2204]

Please note that HTML5 support is not available for JRuby in this version. However, we feel it is important to think about JRuby and we hope to work on this in the future. If you're interested in helping with HTML5 support on JRuby, please reach out to the maintainers by commenting on issue #2227.

Many thanks to Sam Ruby, Steve Checkoway, and Craig Barnes for creating and maintaining Nokogumbo and supporting the Gumbo HTML5 parser. They're now Nokogiri core contributors with all the powers and privileges pertaining thereto. 🙌

Notable Change: Nokogiri::HTML4 module and namespace

Nokogiri::HTML has been renamed to Nokogiri::HTML4, and Nokogiri::HTML is aliased to preserve backwards-compatibility. Nokogiri::HTML and Nokogiri::HTML4 parse methods still use libxml2's (or NekoHTML's) HTML4 parser in the v1.12 release series.

Take special note that if you rely on the class name of an object in your code, objects will now report a class of Nokogiri::HTML4::Foo where they previously reported Nokogiri::HTML::Foo. Instead of relying on the string returned by Object#class, prefer Class#=== or Object#is_a? or Object#instance_of?.

Future releases of Nokogiri may deprecate HTML methods or otherwise change this behavior, so please start using HTML4 in place of HTML.

Added

  • [CRuby] Nokogiri::VERSION_INFO["libxslt"]["datetime_enabled"] is a new boolean value which describes whether libxslt (or, more properly, libexslt) has compiled-in datetime support. This generally going to be true, but some distros ship without this support (e.g., some mingw UCRT-based packages, see https://github.com/msys2/MINGW-packages/pull/8957). See #2272 for more details.

Changed

  • Introduce a new constant, Nokogiri::XML::ParseOptions::DEFAULT_XSLT, which adds the libxslt-preferred options of NOENT | DTDLOAD | DTDATTR | NOCDATA to ParseOptions::DEFAULT_XML.
  • Nokogiri.XSLT parses stylesheets using ParseOptions::DEFAULT_XSLT, which should make some edge-case XSL transformations match libxslt's default behavior. [#1940]

Fixed

  • [CRuby] Namespaced attributes are handled properly when their parent node is reparented into another document. Previously, the namespace may have gotten dropped. [#2228]
  • [CRuby] Reparented nodes no longer inherit their parent's namespace. Previously, a node without a namespace was forced to adopt its parent's namespace. [#1712, #425]

Improved

  • [CRuby] Speed up (slightly) the compile time of packaged libraries libiconv, libxml2, and libxslt by using autoconf's --disable-dependency-tracking option. ("ruby" platform gem only.)

Deprecated

  • Deprecating Nokogumbo's Nokogiri::HTML5.get. This method will be removed in a future version of Nokogiri.

Dependencies

  • [CRuby] Upgrade mini_portile2 dependency from ~> 2.5.0 to ~> 2.6.1. ("ruby" platform gem only.)

1.11.7 / 2021-06-02

Fixed

  • [CRuby] Backporting an upstream fix to XPath recursion depth limits which impacted some users of complex XPath queries. This issue is present in libxml 2.9.11 and 2.9.12. [#2257]

1.11.6 / 2021-05-26

Fixed

  • [CRuby] DocumentFragment#path now does proper error-checking to handle behavior introduced in libxml > 2.9.10. In v1.11.4 and v1.11.5, calling DocumentFragment#path could result in a segfault.

1.11.5 / 2021-05-19

Fixed

[Windows CRuby] Work around segfault at process exit on Windows when using libxml2 system DLLs.

libxml 2.9.12 introduced new behavior to avoid memory leaks when unloading libxml2 shared libraries (see libxml/!66). Early testing caught this segfault on non-Windows platforms (see #2059 and libxml@956534e) but it was incompletely fixed and is still an issue on Windows platforms that are using system DLLs.

We work around this by configuring libxml2 in this situation to use its default memory management functions. Note that if Nokogiri is not on Windows, or is not using shared system libraries, it will will continue to configure libxml2 to use Ruby's memory management functions. Nokogiri::VERSION_INFO["libxml"]["memory_management"] will allow you to verify when the default memory management functions are being used. [#2241]

Added

Nokogiri::VERSION_INFO["libxml"] now contains the key "memory_management" to declare whether libxml2 is using its default memory management functions, or whether it uses the memory management functions from ruby. See above for more details.

1.11.4 / 2021-05-14

Security

[CRuby] Vendored libxml2 upgraded to v2.9.12 which addresses:

Note that two additional CVEs were addressed upstream but are not relevant to this release. CVE-2021-3516 via xmllint is not present in Nokogiri, and CVE-2020-7595 has been patched in Nokogiri since v1.10.8 (see #1992).

Please see nokogiri/GHSA-7rrm-v45f-jp64 or #2233 for a more complete analysis of these CVEs and patches.

Dependencies

  • [CRuby] vendored libxml2 is updated from 2.9.10 to 2.9.12. (Note that 2.9.11 was skipped because it was superseded by 2.9.12 a few hours after its release.)

1.11.3 / 2021-04-07

Fixed

  • [CRuby] Passing non-Node objects to Document#root= now raises an ArgumentError exception. Previously this likely segfaulted. [#1900]
  • [JRuby] Passing non-Node objects to Document#root= now raises an ArgumentError exception. Previously this raised a TypeError exception.
  • [CRuby] arm64/aarch64 systems (like Apple's M1) can now compile libxml2 and libxslt from source (though we continue to strongly advise users to install the native gems for the best possible experience)

1.11.2 / 2021-03-11

Fixed

  • [CRuby] NodeSet may now safely contain Node objects from multiple documents. Previously the GC lifecycle of the parent Document objects could lead to nodes being GCed while still in scope. [#1952]
  • [CRuby] Patch libxml2 to avoid "huge input lookup" errors on large CDATA elements. (See upstream GNOME/libxml2#200 and GNOME/libxml2!100.) [#2132].
  • [CRuby+Windows] Enable Nokogumbo (and other downstream gems) to compile and link against nokogiri.so by including LDFLAGS in Nokogiri::VERSION_INFO. [#2167]
  • [CRuby] {XML,HTML}::Document.parse now invokes #initialize exactly once. Previously #initialize was invoked twice on each object.
  • [JRuby] {XML,HTML}::Document.parse now invokes #initialize exactly once. Previously #initialize was not called, which was a problem for subclassing such as done by Loofah.

Improved

  • Reduce the number of object allocations needed when parsing an HTML::DocumentFragment. [#2087] (@ashmaroli)
  • [JRuby] Update the algorithm used to calculate Node#line to be wrong less-often. The underlying parser, Xerces, does not track line numbers, and so we've always used a hacky solution for this method. [#1223, #2177]
  • Introduce --enable-system-libraries and --disable-system-libraries flags to extconf.rb. These flags provide the same functionality as --use-system-libraries and the NOKOGIRI_USE_SYSTEM_LIBRARIES environment variable, but are more idiomatic. [#2193] (@eregon)
  • [TruffleRuby] --disable-static is now the default on TruffleRuby when the packaged libraries are used. This is more flexible and compiles faster. (Note, though, that the default on TR is still to use system libraries.) [#2191, #2193] (@eregon)

Changed

  • Nokogiri::XML::Path is now a Module (previously it has been a Class). It has been acting solely as a Module since v1.0.0. See 8461c74.

1.11.1 / 2021-01-06

Fixed

  • [CRuby] If libxml-ruby is loaded before nokogiri, the SAX and Push parsers no longer call libxml-ruby's handlers. Instead, they defensively override the libxml2 global handler before parsing. [#2168]

1.11.0 / 2021-01-03

Notes

Faster, more reliable installation: Native Gems for Linux and OSX/Darwin

"Native gems" contain pre-compiled libraries for a specific machine architecture. On supported platforms, this removes the need for compiling the C extension and the packaged libraries. This results in much faster installation and more reliable installation, which as you probably know are the biggest headaches for Nokogiri users.

We've been shipping native Windows gems since 2009, but starting in v1.11.0 we are also shipping native gems for these platforms:

  • Linux: x86-linux and x86_64-linux -- including musl platforms like alpine
  • OSX/Darwin: x86_64-darwin and arm64-darwin

We'd appreciate your thoughts and feedback on this work at #2075.

Dependencies

Ruby

This release introduces support for Ruby 2.7 and 3.0 in the precompiled native gems.

This release ends support for:

Security

See note below about CVE-2020-26247 in the "Changed" subsection entitled "XML::Schema parsing treats input as untrusted by default".

Added

  • Add Node methods for manipulating "keyword attributes" (for example, class and rel): #kwattr_values, #kwattr_add, #kwattr_append, and #kwattr_remove. [#2000]
  • Add support for CSS queries a:has(> b), a:has(~ b), and a:has(+ b). [#688] (@jonathanhefner)
  • Add Node#value? to better match expected semantics of a Hash-like object. [#1838, #1840] (@MatzFan)
  • [CRuby] Add Nokogiri::XML::Node#line= for use by downstream libs like nokogumbo. [#1918] (@stevecheckoway)
  • nokogiri.gemspec is back after a 10-year hiatus. We still prefer you use the official releases, but main is pretty stable these days, and YOLO.

Performance

  • [CRuby] The CSS ~= operator and class selector . are about 2x faster. [#2137, #2135]
  • [CRuby] Patch libxml2 to call strlen from xmlStrlen rather than the naive implementation, because strlen is generally optimized for the architecture. [#2144] (@ilyazub)
  • Improve performance of some namespace operations. [#1916] (@ashmaroli)
  • Remove unnecessary array allocations from Node serialization methods [#1911] (@ashmaroli)
  • Avoid creation of unnecessary zero-length String objects. [#1970] (@ashmaroli)
  • Always compile libxml2 and libxslt with '-O2' [#2022, #2100] (@ilyazub)
  • [JRuby] Lots of code cleanup and performance improvements. [#1934] (@kares)
  • [CRuby] RelaxNG.from_document no longer leaks memory. [#2114]

Improved

  • [CRuby] Handle incorrectly-closed HTML comments as WHATWG recommends for browsers. [#2058] (Thanks to HackerOne user mayflower for reporting this)
  • {HTML,XML}::Document#parse now accept Pathname objects. Previously this worked only if the referenced file was less than 4096 bytes long; longer files resulted in undefined behavior because the read method would be repeatedly invoked. [#1821, #2110] (@doriantaylor and @phokz)
  • [CRuby] Nokogumbo builds faster because it can now use header files provided by Nokogiri. [#1788] (@stevecheckoway)
  • Add frozen_string_literal: true magic comment to all lib files. [#1745] (@oniofchaos)
  • [JRuby] Clean up deprecated calls into JRuby. [#2027] (@headius)

Fixed

  • HTML Parsing in "strict" mode (i.e., the RECOVER parse option not set) now correctly raises a XML::SyntaxError exception. Previously the value of the RECOVER bit was being ignored by CRuby and was misinterpreted by JRuby. [#2130]
  • The CSS ~= operator now correctly handles non-space whitespace in the class attribute. commit e45dedd
  • The switch to turn off the CSS-to-XPath cache is now thread-local, rather than being shared mutable state. [#1935]
  • The Node methods add_previous_sibling, previous=, before, add_next_sibling, next=, after, replace, and swap now correctly use their parent as the context node for parsing markup. These methods now also raise a RuntimeError if they are called on a node with no parent. [nokogumbo#160]
  • [JRuby] XML::Schema XSD validation errors are captured in XML::Schema#errors. These errors were previously ignored.
  • [JRuby] Standardize reading from IO like objects, including StringIO. [#1888, #1897]
  • [JRuby] Fix how custom XPath function namespaces are inferred to be less naive. [#1890, #2148]
  • [JRuby] Clarify exception message when custom XPath functions can't be resolved.
  • [JRuby] Comparison of Node to Document with Node#<=> now matches CRuby/libxml2 behavior.
  • [CRuby] Syntax errors are now correctly captured in Document#errors for short HTML documents. Previously the SAX parser used for encoding detection was clobbering libxml2's global error handler.
  • [CRuby] Fixed installation on AIX with respect to vasprintf. [#1908]
  • [CRuby] On some platforms, avoid symbol name collision with glibc's canonicalize. [#2105]
  • [Windows Visual C++] Fixed compiler warnings and errors. [#2061, #2068]
  • [CRuby] Fixed Nokogumbo integration which broke in the v1.11.0 release candidates. [#1788] (@stevecheckoway)
  • [JRuby] Fixed document encoding regression in v1.11.0 release candidates. [#2080, #2083] (@thbar)

Removed

  • The internal method Nokogiri::CSS::Parser.cache_on= has been removed. Use .set_cache if you need to muck with the cache internals.
  • The class method Nokogiri::CSS::Parser.parse has been removed. This was originally deprecated in 2009 in 13db61b. Use Nokogiri::CSS.parse instead.

Changed

XML::Schema input is now "untrusted" by default

Address CVE-2020-26247.

In Nokogiri versions <= 1.11.0.rc3, XML Schemas parsed by Nokogiri::XML::Schema were trusted by default, allowing external resources to be accessed over the network, potentially enabling XXE or SSRF attacks.

This behavior is counter to the security policy intended by Nokogiri maintainers, which is to treat all input as untrusted by default whenever possible.

Please note that this security fix was pushed into a new minor version, 1.11.x, rather than a patch release to the 1.10.x branch, because it is a breaking change for some schemas and the risk was assessed to be "Low Severity".

More information and instructions for enabling "trusted input" behavior in v1.11.0.rc4 and later is available at the public advisory.

HTML parser now obeys the strict or norecover parsing option

(Also noted above in the "Fixed" section) HTML Parsing in "strict" mode (i.e., the RECOVER parse option not set) now correctly raises a XML::SyntaxError exception. Previously the value of the RECOVER bit was being ignored by CRuby and was misinterpreted by JRuby.

If you're using the default parser options, you will be unaffected by this fix. If you're passing strict or norecover to your HTML parser call, you may be surprised to see that the parser now fails to recover and raises a XML::SyntaxError exception. Given the number of HTML documents on the internet that libxml2 would consider to be ill-formed, this is probably not what you want, and you can omit setting that parse option to restore the behavior that you have been relying upon.

Apologies to anyone inconvenienced by this breaking bugfix being present in a minor release, but I felt it was appropriate to introduce this fix because it's straightforward to fix any code that has been relying on this buggy behavior.

This release changes the metadata provided in Nokogiri::VersionInfo which also affects the output of nokogiri -v. Some related constants have also been changed. If you're using VersionInfo programmatically, or relying on constants related to underlying library versions, please read the detailed changes for Nokogiri::VersionInfo at #2139 and accept our apologies for the inconvenience.

1.10.10 / 2020-07-06

Features

  • [MRI] Cross-built Windows gems now support Ruby 2.7 [#2029]. Note that prior to this release, the v1.11.x prereleases provided this support.

1.10.9 / 2020-03-01

Fixed

  • [MRI] Raise an exception when Nokogiri detects a specific libxml2 edge case involving blank Schema nodes wrapped by Ruby objects that would cause a segfault. Currently no fix is available upstream, so we're preventing a dangerous operation and informing users to code around it if possible. [#1985, #2001]
  • [JRuby] Change NodeSet#to_a to return a RubyArray instead of Object, for compilation under JRuby 9.2.9 and later. [#1968, #1969] (@headius)

Security

Address CVE-2019-5477 [#1915].

A command injection vulnerability in Nokogiri v1.10.3 and earlier allows commands to be executed in a subprocess by Ruby's Kernel.open method. Processes are vulnerable only if the undocumented method Nokogiri::CSS::Tokenizer#load_file is being passed untrusted user input.

This vulnerability appears in code generated by the Rexical gem versions v1.0.6 and earlier. Rexical is used by Nokogiri to generate lexical scanner code for parsing CSS queries. The underlying vulnerability was addressed in Rexical v1.0.7 and Nokogiri upgraded to this version of Rexical in Nokogiri v1.10.4.

This CVE's public notice is #1915

Security

[MRI] Behavior in libxml2 has been reverted which caused CVE-2018-8048 (loofah gem), CVE-2018-3740 (sanitize gem), and CVE-2018-3741 (rails-html-sanitizer gem). The commit in question is here:

https://github.com/GNOME/libxml2/commit/960f0e2

and more information is available about this commit and its impact here:

This release simply reverts the libxml2 commit in question to protect users of Nokogiri's vendored libraries from similar vulnerabilities.

If you're offended by what happened here, I'd kindly ask that you comment on the upstream bug report here:

For more information:

1.7.1 / 2017-03-19

Security

[MRI] Upstream libxml2 patches are applied to the vendored libxml 2.9.4 which address CVE-2016-4658 and CVE-2016-5131.

For more information:

1.7.0.1 / 2017-01-04

1.6.8.1 / 2016-10-03

Dependencies

Removes required dependency on the pkg-config gem. This dependency was introduced in v1.6.8 and, because it's distributed under LGPL, was objectionable to many Nokogiri users (#1488, #1496).

This version makes pkg-config an optional dependency. If it's installed, it's used; but otherwise Nokogiri will attempt to work around its absence.

1.6.8 / 2016-06-06

Security

[MRI] Bundled libxml2 is upgraded to 2.9.4, which fixes many security issues. Many of these had previously been patched in the vendored libxml 2.9.2 in the 1.6.7.x branch, but some are newer.

See these libxml2 email posts for more:

For a more detailed analysis, you may care to read Canonical's take on these security issues:

[MRI] Bundled libxslt is upgraded to 1.1.29, which fixes a security issue as well as many long-known outstanding bugs, some features, some portability improvements, and general cleanup.
